COD4 Need help with saving data

[kung foo man]

I never worked much with CoD4, but in CoD2 it's just setcvar("foo", "test") and getcvar("foo")

My apologies if I made myself unclear. I have no reason to use files, it just seemed the best solution to me so hence my focus on those. Any other possible methods are welcome (such as seta as kung foo man says).
Also, it was not meant as a request but as a question/seeking advice on what to do.

I do have a question about the seta function. I cannot find the function to read a cvar, is this even possible? Because that I was what I need to check if the map is in a cvar.

My apologies and thanks!

I am getting a bit tired of having to repeat myself - you CANNOT - that means no, not, never - store strings in dvars once the server rotates.

I'll say it again - what you are attempting to do cannot be done in COD4 - once the server roates, all dvar strings are emptied of their values.

So, asking about reading a dvar is pointless given what you are attempting.

You will have to go back to storing stuff on players using the setStat()/getStat() functions, and checking to make sure they've been with the server through X number of rotations. And then get the stored values off them.

[kung foo man]

I just tested it fast, made link to iw3mp.exe and added +set dedicated 2

map mp_bog
set foo 123
map_rotate
foo ------> will print 123, as expected from CoD2

So cvar is clearly there, right? Or GSC cannot access them?

Edit: I just recalled the functions are named setdvar(key, value) and getdvar(key) in CoD4.

Just tested on my dedicated COD4 box - didn't work.

Next!
