OpenSpades+ is a modification of OpenSpades that has many competivive-sided tweaks such as
- The default settings falling more towards competitive play
- No FOV cap (server may limit this)
- No falling blocks hindering visibility and possibly causing lag spikes (can be toggled, server may limit this)
- A crosshair more akin to classic FPS games such as CS:GO (seven to pick from currently, feel free to open a PR to add more!)
- No ragdolls or corpses whatsoever (can be toggled)
- Hiding the view-model for extra screen space (can be toggled)
It also has some other features, though not as major
- More concise messages (messages will never give less information than vanilla)
- Cleaner stats interface along with some extras (OS+ revision)
- Extended player name length and no restriction to ASCII only (needs to be tested)
- Shows useful variables in the Preferences menu
- A custom map background (two currently, feel free to open a PR to add more!)
- Encouraging words on the pause menu! (I swear it's not cheating)
This project also aims to be in line with OpenSpades NotToDo where applicable
No problem! Almost all the changes here are implemented in such a way so that toggling a variable i.e toggling p_viewmodel will turn on or off the change, sometimes with a relaunch. For crosshairs, if you want the default crosshair back but keep all the other changes, you just copy the contents of Resources/Gfx/Crosshairs/Default into Resources/Gfx for the default crosshair.
Just build like normal OpenSpades. If you are on Linux and have all the dependencies installed there is a convenient file that will run all the necessary commands to build OpenSpades+. Occasionally there will be bugs preventing you from launching or building the game (especially in the experimental branch) - in that case, please download the source code from the latest Release or fix the bug yourself (PRs welcome!).
Check the Releases tab for the latest stable release. Otherwise, check AppVeyor for the latest bleeding-edge releases.
Most, if not all of these variables should be under the Options/Preferences menu, should you need it.
Default: 0
As simple as it gets. Turn particles on or off along with some extra settings. This can and will hide grenade particles, which may be useful. THIS DOES NOT HIDE TRACERS
Default: 0
Setting this to 0 (model instead of dynamic ragdoll) seemingly has marginally less impact than when set to 1. There is no point in setting this to 1 if p_corpse is set to 0 since OpenSpades+ removes ragdolls and said model.
Default: 0
Unlimit refresh rate and decrease input delay. Highly recommended not to turn this on.
Default: 1
Launch the game in fullscreen and be immersed in the game.
Default: 0
No FPS cap.
Default: 1
This turns on those fancy calculations for more precise and accurate sound, though sounds may appear more quiet.
Default: 1
Show extra information such as accuracy (todo), FPS, ping, etc. Highly recommended not to turn this off.
Default: 90
FOV is very a preferential thing. For most people 90 FOV is fine; though nobody's judging you, go crazy and set it to 1 or 179 (anything more or less breaks the game - I'm not stopping you though!)
Default: 0
Disables the distracting shell casings when firing your weapon, also slightly improving performance. Highly recommended not to turn this on.
Default: 0
Disables the screen shake on grenades or shooting. It's just an annoyance most of the time.
Default: 1
This is the default for a reason. It is self explanatory.
Default: 0
Remove the bright yellow tracers that are shot by you, the player. Other players' tracers won't be affected. Note that this also affects the minimap.
Default: 0
Spectate where a player died, which can be great for callouts. Highly recommended not to turn this on.
Default: 1
Show FPS, Ping, OS+ revision, Accuracy (TODO) and IP (TODO) of connected server when enabled. Highly recommended not to turn this off.
Default: 1
Turns off the sound when attempting to switch to a weapon with no ammo, or when the server requests it.
Default: 0
Remove many animations, such at the scope-in animation when aiming down sights.
Default: 1
Turns on or off tinting the screen when damaged (cooldown of 1.5 seconds) (STUB)
Default: 0
Turns on or off the blood decals when damaged, which may slightly obstruct vision and be a distraction in the most important time in the game - a gunfight (cooldown of 1.5 seconds) (STUB)
Default: 0
Turns the viewmodel on or off.
Default: 0
Hides the server IP from cg_stats and sanitises player names (STUB)
Default: Nothing
Append text to your client info - anything you'd like.
Default: 0
(STUB)
Default: 1
(STUB)
Default: 0
Spawn corpses/ragdolls when a player dies.
Default: 0
(STUB) Hides the block colo(u)r palette.
Default: 0
Shows falling blocks
Save files and game files are kept seperate from OpenSpades. This does not include mod .paks or folders, though it is planned for OpenSpades+ to load mods from the folder OSMods instead which allows you to have OpenSpades+ specific mods. It is nigh impossible that OpenSpades+ will bork or even modify an OpenSpades install in any way. To use your OpenSpades config file as a template/your config file for OpenSpades+, you can copy your SPConfig.cfg over to OSPlus.cfg in the same folder. Please notice that OpenSpades+ uses different default options which you may find helpful. You can always set them manually however, see "Useful console variables". There is a list of differences between OpenSpades+ and OpenSpades settings here
- Remove ragdolls and corpses cleaner code
- Accuracy in cg_stats or other
- Players left in cg_stats or other
- Reload progress bar below the crosshair or in cg_stats - partially done in the form of percentage in "Reloading" text
- Variable for muzzle flash/light when shooting (player)
- Load mods from a specific folder (i.e. OS+ specific weapon mods/soundmods)
- A streamer mode (disable global chat, Hide IP in stats, sanitize player names) (TODO)
- Show player weapons on the scoreboard if the server allows it (TODO)
- Show player health on mouse-over and scoreboard when server has /hp or /health enabled (TODO)
- Show weapons on the leaderboard if the server has /weapon enabled (TODO)
- Streamer-friendly (disable chat, hide ip, sanitize player names) ((todo))
- Show IP in cg_stats
- Change teams in the Limbo menu by using the Q, W, and E keys
- Allow ghosts to use the flashlight (bugged currently while in freecam)
- Fix flashlight
- Less harsh and digestible flashlight
Bump OpenSpades+ revision level in OpenSpadesPlus.cpp and in README.md, also in PackageInfo.json
