30:04 Was there some mathematical formula to spawns?

49:40 Mouse Accel Makes you move faster?

Anyone know what he means at these points?

Any ideas?

So I'm no quake master like I'm sure everyone that still plays this game is, but I used to play about 4 years ago, and myself and some friends have decided to reinstall to give it a go.

I was wondering if anyone could maybe list a few of the commands that you are expected to use in this game for client and server side. I don't think I need any that are in the settings for q4max, but I don't think all are.

I can remember net_clientmaxrate and I think the value was 25600

I can't remember any special server commands, if there is anything I'm likely to miss that'd be great, if there are empty UK Duel servers then I guess I could use them.


Another question that I'm asking purely out of curiosity is how good are the best players now? I started playing back round about the time of i32, where toxjq was the best, followed by avek, cooler and stermy. I was wondering how good are the best players now in comparison.

Has anyone here actually bought lessons from stermy, and does anyone have any idea how much money he has made from this?

If someone could please inform me on as many of these as possible I would be most appreciative.

What team gametypes are played?
What maps are used in these gametypes?
What should I change in my config to make things easier (like reducing bloom and such)?
What should I change in my config to help with lag issues (like client prediction from quake)?

I am fairly new to the quake scene, and even though I suck, I usually enjoy quake 4 duels. I have watched all the duels i can from websites like multiplay i32 and stuff and I understand how each weapon is for a different situation.

However, when playing online (I get about 35 ping to my own countries server) I can't seem to find any better way to play than just to use rockets.

I tried my hardest to use rockets as much as I could because it seems to be the only way to play against him, but he still seems to just drop on me with rockets in every possible situation. Also, he will only play me on his map which makes it even more boring.

I understand that with client pred on 0 i have to lead slighty on the players to get the hits in, but still a player with rockets seems to almost always outdamage a player with lg, simply cos you can almost always manouvre your way through to him.

The way I play against people who try to use more than 1 gun is different, I try to actually use all the weps the way they were meant to be:

Apart from rockets vs rockets being mostly skilless, it is also incredibly boring, is there anything I can do to make my LG hit more (my net_clientmaxrate is 25600) or anything to make it so rockets aren't so dominant?

In my opinion using rockets in every situation is basically exploiting the lag, since I have played on LAN and there is no such problem.

I would like to know how if there is a way to individually change each of the weapon crosshairs in quake 4. For example, if I could change the image used the the lg crosshair without it affecting other crosshairs.

Finally got an active group of new quake gamers together in my clan and I was wondering what maps exactly we should practice.

I already have the duel maps that are used commonly, but the only CTF maps we have played are heartless, mind the gap and Death before Dishonour.

No idea where to start on TDM.

If one of you 8 years of quake experienced type guys would help me out that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I own a server from multiplay.co.uk and have recently added some comp maps to the server. in order to get these maps on I need to add the "custom content" addon. When I do this however the physics of the game changes completely, and I can bunnyhop as if it was Quake. How do I fix this?

Thanks.
