    Lightbulb Undocumented "CFS2.cfg" Entries

    I was recently poking around in my CFS.cfg file, and found a few things of interest. Googling came up empty, so I'm thinking that these may have previously been unknown.

    Under the "[Quick Combat]" section:

    EnemyWaveDelay=0

    ...the delay (in seconds) before your enemies respawn in Quick Combat.

    Damned shame that "UserAlt=#####" doesn't function though for Quick Combat (good old Mickey$oft, brain dead when it comes to BASIC and HANDY features!).

    Under the "[MULTIPLAYER]" section:

    SP_PROTOCOL_ADDRESS=##.###.##.###

    I've been wishing for an "address book" of sorts for TCP/IP multiplayer games (again, refer to the "Mickey$oft" blurb above!).

    Anyhow, enter in a valid IP, and it will always be displayed there in the "IP Address" box when joining a TCP/IP multiplayer game OF COURSE, if you edit that field when joining a multiplayer game, the next time that you go to that screen it will be cleared out (and yet again, refer to the "Mickey$oft" blurb above!).

    It's also a damned shame that "START_IN_AIR=0" doesn't function... although you can use the "CFO Weather" addon module for CFS2 to plant yourself on the ground.

    Lastly, I'm sure that most folks are aware of this one under the "[MULTIPLAYER]" section:

    SP_Player_Name=Yer Name

    ...but I figured I'd mention it here anyway

    Anyhooo, does anyone else know of any more?

    I think these are all of the keys from the multiplayer.dll that I think are for the [MULTIPLAYER] section. Some of these keys are already in the MULTIPLAYER] section . It seem that many of the SP_** do work when added.

    "SP_PLAYER_COLOR_INDEX" looks to be quite handy, thanks for the heads-up!

    "MAX_OBSERVERS" (as well as "MP_GO_OBSERVER" in the "Controls.dll" file): We could only wish
