Setting the Radar option

[inonzuk]

Hello,

I'm new so sorry if its an obvious question. How can I create a game server in which the Radar is turned off for the players ?

Thanks in advance,

You can set the radar range to 0. In your server configuration, I think you would just add this:
-set _radarRange 0

[anomaly]

try -set _radarLimit 0 in your server config. Or you can set the variable in the client like so:
/set _radarLimit 0

Ah, yeah, I was wrong. It's _radarLimit like anomaly said.

Thanks, that did the trick.

A follow up question is whether there is a way to remove the HUD box which has the heading information on it (saying which heading the tank is headed) ?

Not that I am aware...

First of all, many thanks for the answer guys.

Is there a way to change the background picture (i.e. replace the mountains with something else? ).

You could turn off the mountains with another variable, and then put your own object around the map. (But you might run into issues with parts of it disappearing when viewed at long distances) There is also the ability to use a sky box.
