Setting up a dismember server

What do I need in my server.cfg to best enable dismemberment on my dedicated server?

In the dismemberment (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51350) thread, I read to use g_dismember 200. That's what I use, but is that correct? What's the range of numbers used on g_dismember? Most Q3 type commands just use a 0 or 1 (off or on), but is this one a range between 0 and, say, 200?

Also, is it necessary to load the maps using "devmap <mapname>"?

Third question, do cheats have to be enabled?

I'm running my server with cheats enabled, using devmap to load the map, and with g_dismember set to 200. Dismemberment occurs (and the server doesn't get errors like it did when using dismemberment pre-1.03...hallelujah!), but dismemberment doesn't occur often--I want it to be as often as in single player, when you use the "saberRealistic 1" command.

And why would dismemberment need to require cheat mode, specially loading a map, and having dismemberment enabled on the server? Isn't it just a graphical effect? I mean, why didn't Raven allow each client to determine whether they see dismemberment or not, as some games do with blood and gore settings?

WEll I have it set to 100 and everytime someone dies a limb gets cut off...

What have you got cg_dismember set to? try setting it to 3 and see if that helps...

[edit] Cheats do not need to be enabled for dismember and I suggest you disable them asap... :o

I put "g_dismember 999" just incase the number means more slices.

ANd then the clients have to put "cg_dismember 1".

Also I think it's just me, but the amount of time the saber will hit decreases when you turn on dismember. I was playing on my own server (0 ping), with dismember enabled.

At first I noticed it during a duel, so I asked 1 of my friends to put the saber away and stand still for a minute.

I strafed around in with Yellow stance swiping horizontally.

3 times in a row the saber literally (Literally) went right through his stomach. No damage was dealt any of the 3 times.

Eventually, though, I did get lucky and it finally hit him.

I disabled Dismember and I could actually hit people again.

I don't know what caused it.... But it WAS happening.

Thanks, Mr_Sharky and JediGhost. I will do some more experimenting...especially to see if I can recreate the non-damaging saber glitch. Was that with the current version of the server executable?
