How do I turn off Survival Mode?

[mt7]

I know this game was not made for any controllers at all, but my girlfriend just refuses to play on keyboard and mouse, so we play it using Xbox 360 joysticks, and also we both suck at this game.

Basically this game turns out to be extremelly difficult when playing with controllers, so I would like to disable Survival Mode in order to make our playthrough less stressing.

I've already tried to insert "as_command survival_enabled 0" and "mp_survival_mode 0" into server.cfg file (as suggested in many old threads) but it ended up not working at all.

Can someone please help me with this?

"mp_survival_mode" is for older maps. You need command "toggle_survival_mode".

It has to be run server side though, so unless you're hosting a game (via the Create Game menu) you would need to use "rcon" before that.

Thank you! That really did the trick!

I'm wondering though, this command must be set everytime the host starts the session, isn't it? According to an older thread from 2020, editing the map's cfg file would do the trick. I tried inserting "toggle_survival_mode" and "toggle_survival_mode 0" into the campaign ones, however, it didn't work at all.

Sorry to bother you again, but do you know which command I'd need to insert into those cfg files to disable Survival Mode?

For that you might be better off adding this 3rd party plug-in to manage survival mode in a global way:

Thank you for responding! I found this plugin quite similar to the command you provide, since it carries on throughout every map after typing it, so I won't bother using it anymore for now.

I can't speak for 3rd party plug-ins, but this seems to be described that you can use the following command to force survival mode off for all maps:

.survival 0

I suspect this is a command you need to use in text chat, not the console.
