Well, i do not want to start anything like q3 vs ql or RA3 vs CA, but i miss the atmosphere of RA3, multiarena and the scene it gave back then.

I would love to see some old RA3 demos from the golden years of 2000-2005, some Demos from Evil killers or XE or X3, especially the german guys like onfire, eoe, smr.

Anyone has still demos? Share!

yo,

what do you think about the new accel custom options, a.k.a. fixed style 1?

do you use it? do you think you benefit from it vs the age old only cl_mouseaccel x ?

i am trying to use offset because my accel fucks up a bit very precise shaft tracking of people doing small dodges. dunno if i can get accustomed to it. needed ages for accel only.


will be interesting to see pro configs after dreamhack...

i remember that fox got invited to a lan in iceland and got sponsored his participation, really don't know when this was mid 2000 perhaps. i only remember that he lost in the final vs. some iceland star player (at that time).
from that player existed a pov demo from dm6 vs fox.

anyone knows about that event and has that demo?

i would like to fire up q3 and simply shoot some bots from time to time. but when i start q3 without a mod or for example with cpma, start up a local multiplayer game, and set some bots to add, i always get spawned alone in the map. the add bot field, baseq3 or cpma is greyed out.

someone knows what could be the reason?

hi,
i would like to play a bit q3 tdm again, perhaps even duell.
back in the days i used ase as server browser, which is dead.
i am now using gamepy 3d instead. it also has a q3 serverlist, but on these servers only on some is a bit activity?

are there still servers /countries with lot of activity in vq3 cpma ?
is a list or a webbrowser site avaible somewhere?

so i made a related topic a while ago, a newer topic is someone who asks about ql on high ping, so i thought i would like to get opinions on my experience with ql and hitscan weapons like shaft and mg, not rail on different pings.

ql is definelty playable with higher pings, my personal taste feels -80 ok. i am refering to ingame ping display.
on different pings in a range from 20 -50 (homecountry, germany, to sweden or poland at the 50 range.) i often inxperience different behaviours of the shaft and mg hits. as if ql is supposed to have sth like unlagged you should register a lot of hits if you are tracking dead on target. i dont mean shaft strafe battles
simply strafing with or using a bit mouse movement. sometimes dead on target is a low hitrate then around 30 and sometimes it works as it is expectable and its above 40.

but it is a really unrealiable thing. sometimes great on ping 20 sometimes not. sometimes on 50 sometimes not and inbetween values as well.


do other people also experience this, for me really notable, effect with ql netcode and shaft/mg in special?

and no enemydodgement skill has really less impact on my findings. i am refering just to easy movement or air patterns.

well, when playing in my own country's servers, i.e. germany where i ping lowest to, ql ping of 20, dos ping 16ms, the unlagged netcode really seems to be off. shaft direct on target tracking doesnt give a full damage. while playing on pings between 30-60 something rail/shaft really works like playin in lan, direct on target. above it gets less accurate, more leading neccesary again.

can that be, that the netcode fucks low ping up? :)
do others experience similar when playin on low ping?

that's more of a rant than anything else. I'm in love with the pilot form factor since many years, used the last two years a pilot optical with 400 dpi, precision was ok, used to flip when i did very fast movements. so i thought when i saw there was a 1000dpi version avaible i could give it a try for 16€.

what pisses me off, is that this version can't go beyond 125hz polling rate, while my old 400 dpi went to 500 no problem.

i first thought i had a problem with the usbport.sys in combination with XP SP3, but i worked this out and with sp3 the old usbtwkr.exe works and aswell the HIDUSBF.

i can go to 62 or 31 hz :)


any thoughts? i can't think that a new, even if only entry level mouse, can not do, what its predecessor could.
perhaps logitech restricted it hardware-side, so you dont use it as a cheap gaming mouse ;)
