Maybe "seta"?

expert only works for the upcoming map, so I doubt that this would do anything in a config (which is loaded just once and not on mapchange). Probably something you have to put in the feature vote thread.

The command can only be executed through the game when someone is logged in.  It is not a cvar that you can issue through rcon, server console or using a sv cmd.  Your best bet is to go suggest it in the feature vote thread and maybe some day jitspoe will implement it.

That's because you did 'seta expert #' which you were foolishly advised to do.  Now whenever you type it your client is changing the value of a client cvar, instead of sending the command to the server.

Use 'cmd expert 8' or just 'unset expert' and then 'expert 8' will work again normally.

Someone should make a quick program that takes the bsps, makes an ent and strips the weapon entities out of every ent. ;)
