whhat settings do you use

1. inverted or non inverted mouse?
2. What jump button?
3. view swing on/off(see below for view bob off)
seta cg_bobroll "0.0"
seta cg_bobpitch "0.0"
seta cg_bobup "0.0"
seta cg_runroll "0.0"
seta cg_runpitch "0.0“
4. seta com_hunkMegs "xx“ ? someone explain to me what this does.

1)Non inverted mouse.

2)Space bar.

3)View swing on.

4) I have no idea, most of the commands on there do something that you can't see.

1-Inverted
2-space bar
3-hell if I know.
4-it's memory allocation. there are a few maps out there (that one ctf palace map) that require an assload of memory to load/run and you have to raise the default hunkmeg settings to even load them.


set the amount of memory you want quake3.exe to reserve for game play dedicated server memory optimizations. Tips: com_hunkMegs 4 sv_maxclients 3 bot_enable 0 "John Carmack"

all the crap in my autoexec.cfg ^

I have like 20+ separate configs in my base folder for different game types/Light/Dark/Team/Duel and so on.

My config seems weird to a lot of people because my forward/back are both on my mouse as opposed to using some type of WASD keyboard movement system but I've used it for ages and am used to it.

I also jack my sensitivity up to 50 which most people find unplayable but again, it's something I do in all games.

go here:

http://www.gameadmins.com/modules.php?name=Keen_Guide&op=tweaking)

then here if you want to understand each setting in full.

http://www.gameadmins.com/modules.php?name=Keen_Guide&op=variables)

btw there are a lot of things non-video realted that can give you a fps boost.

like setting s_khz "11" instead of "22".

you will have lower quality sound but the lack of strain on your card/cpu gives you a performance increase.

also seta com_maxFPS "300" is just plain dumb.


#1 you eyes could never tell 100 from 300.

#2 you are forcing your rig to draw the same crap that you would see at 100 fps at a faster speed and thus eating resources.

quake 3 engine dev's cap the fps rate for a reason.

I stopped using inverted mouse after jk1, not sure why I ever used it, I guess because it was default, but no other game I can think of has inverted mouse as normal.

I use spacebar for jump, never really considered a different button for it, and it works fine for me.

Scanning that config you posted, Kynes, I use a pretty similar setup, a few differences here and there, but, I find it good for giving framerate stability, and I can notice other players easier as they stand out more against the reduced texture quality.

It's not much to look at though, you don't get to enjoy the game graphics with them set so low, but it makes some people play better, I think it improved me when I did it for all the quake3 based games I play, seeing as they all have the exact or very similar commands, was basically just a matter of copy/pasting it into the relevant games.

Oh yeah, maxFPS 300, wouldn't that be constantly spiking up and down? Not sure spikes would be all that noticeable though at that sort of framerate, but it does seem excessive.

1. I use an inverted mouse. I'm just used to it now and most games give you the option to invert so...

2. Right-Click for Jump. Cos I jump more than I use Alt-Fire so...

3. Eh?

4. Eh?

I don't mess with my configs that much. I don't like to meddle with things I don't understand...

Its not my config, its buffeh-dsbr's. About inversion, I used to use in in jk1 and UT. But in about 99 or so I switched to normal because I noticed that I had trouble aiming fast enough with inversion. THough I will say UJ, gk's seem better with inversion.

2 kinds of expert players I see most of the time.

1. Low sensitivity non inversion
2. High sensitivity inversion

What I use is high sensitivity non inversion which doesn't go along with it. So I am planning to return to inversion because the high sens setting seems to work with it better.

how the hell could you script that and still be able to control your direction?

I mean a "strafe jump in a straight direction" script would be easy to make but you would lose the ability to maneuver around/over objects.


If he can't strafe jump ask spec for that jump training map we used to have on our server.

It's a conversion of a quake 3 trick jump map and it is a good way to work on his technique.

Its not that I cant strafe jump, its that my keyboard dosent allow me to hit forward, left, and jump at same time... but it works when I hit forward right and jump at same time. Besides, the script dosent even work.

#1 you eyes could never tell 100 from 300.

#2 you are forcing your rig to draw the same crap that you would see at 100 fps at a faster speed and thus eating resources.

quake 3 engine dev's cap the fps rate for a reason.

1. Humans do not see the world in frames, rather streams of information. It has been proven that we can "percieve" over 200 frames per second. Will you notice this in a game, however? Probably not.

2. No, you are not forcing it to do anything. If you turn off vsync, and uncap the framerate with com_maxfps -1, then the game will redraw the scene as many times as it can per second. Normally, FPS is limited to the monitor refresh rate (vsync) to prevent screen tearing. It isn't usually pretty when your video card starts sending more frames to your monitor faster than it can display them. Uncapping this won't eat system resources. It simply allows the game to render the scene as many times per second as possible, which is a good thing. Keeping vsync on, in my experience, has slowed some games down, but I keep it on anyways since it's fugly without it.

Since my monitor is set to 60 hz refresh, beyond 60 fps I won't see it especially with vsync on. However, many ppl add fps greater for other reasons. The mouse movement I actually notice is smoother, don't know why its related to fps. Furthermore, many people say you can strafe jump faster with 115 cap fps than a lower 80 or 90 fps cap.

But massassi boy (edit: name reserved to det), I don't know why, but I have never experienced problems without vsync on to match up frames with refresh rates.
