Summary	0002512: cvars set with consolecommand conflict with cvarinfo

Revision	2015-11-04 03:34 by WaTaKiD
Description	before zan supported cvarinfo, mod cvars were set/saved using consolecommand, and they would be placed in the ini under [Doom.UnknownConsoleVariables] however when zan did start to support cvarinfo, zan wouldnt load due to these cvars already existing, as cvarinfo puts them under [Doom.NetServerInfo.Mod] thus users had to go into their ini and remove the cvars from [Doom.UnknownConsoleVariables] in order to play the mod

Additional Information	with 3.0-151004-2012 containing the backports mentioned here:'http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=5134&pid=71751#pid85895 [^]' i was able to start a server on tspg-painkiller using a config that had just: set metroid_permabfg 1 whereas in 2.x the server wouldnt start, so thats definitely an improvement, however a client's ini with these cvars under [Doom.UnknownConsoleVariables] is still prone to the error at the very least if there isnt a suitable solution to this, perhaps a message could be printed instructing users to clear such cvars from their ini, as suggested here:'http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=5134&pid=85858#pid85858 [^]'
