I have the problem that r_decals is getting changed to 0 after each map change, any idea why?

I'm not using a speed config, but the community hud.
I've looked into every *.cfg file in my /tf/ folder, but the only one with r_decals in it is autoexec.cfg where I added r_decals 2048 - with no success

Oh, and I've tried searching through the file contents via windows search, but that didn't even yield the autoexec.cfg, since it filters per file extension IIRC.

you could put it in every class config so it changes when you change class?
that'll fix it for now I guess

Check if mp_decals is a valid command - and try changing that instead. It could be that mp_decals overrides or forces a change of r_decals.

Or try setting it on launch with -r_decals 2048

@Chaos: I guess that would be a decent workaround, but I'd still be unable to see sprays that got sprayed before I selected a class.

@Deadly:

Is there a difference between setting it via launch options and autexec.cfg?

Code:

] mp_decals
"mp_decals" = "0.000000" ( def. "200" )
 archive
] mp_decals 200
] mp_decals
"mp_decals" = "200"
 archive
] r_decals
"r_decals" = "2048"

Thanks, that seems to have worked.

Care explain the difference between r-vars and mp-vars?

As far as I know r_decals sets how many decals (not just player sprays, but also bullet holes, explosion marks, blood splatter and so on) can be displayed at once and mp_decals sets how many player sprays you want to be visible at once.
