sv_skillrating is an average of the players power ratings in the server. the tiers are just superficial classifications of the underlying power ratings, they're not used for anything except the up arrow/down arrow/tick on the server browser.

The player's eye is located in the centre of the bbox at a height of 50 units above the base. For crouching this is 30 units.

However, the view is projected onto a rectangle located 4 units infront (i.e. along the line of sight) of the eye position. This is known as the near plane - for further reading start here: http://www.lighthouse3d.com/opengl/viewfrustum/

This question is badly written, but what i think you're asking is how large an object appears on your screen.

This can be more complicated when you have arbitrarily shaped objects off-centre at the sides of the screen, and so since i've got infinitely more important things to be doing, i'm going to work with the assumption that you are looking directly towards the object in question - i.e. it's at the centre of your screen.

In this case, both the width and height of the object can be multiplied by the following factor, which will convert their sizes in world units to sizes in pixels on your screen. the factor is:

k = H / ( 2 z tan[ F / 2 ] )

where,
H = screen resolution (horizontal)
z = distance from observer to object
F = fov (horizontal)
k = conversion factor

As i already said, this factor is the same for both horizontal and vertical displacements.

Example: for H = 1280, F = 110 deg, and z = 100 units, the factor is k = 4.5. This means a player's bbox (measuring 56x30 units) appears as 251x134 pixels on your screen.

WHAT THE HELL MAN

maybe you know the answer to this or not, but does sv_skillrating differ for duel servers?

erm, isnt that the whole point?
