try r_aspectratio 1

I play at 16:9 and prefer cg_fov 120. Feels more natural to me in widescreen.

That's just me, though, and I'm terrible. So take that for whatever its worth.

What's yaw and pitch? And how does it impact the game?

Coming from a guy who mods mice, I'd have expected more knowledge on that subject :P

m_yaw and m_pitch are cvars that let you adjust vertical and horizontal sens. Both are at 0.022 default, meaning the sensitivity is equal vertically and horizontally. But if you set m_pitch (vertical) to a higher value, say 0.025, then the vertical sens will be 0.025/0.022 times higher than the horizontal.

trolled i think ...

Yeah right, that wasn't a straightforward question, just a dude fishing for nice guys to answer him and "troll them". Retard.

Also, definitely the thread to troll people on!

OK, thanks.
And I wasn't trolling btw.

I just don't play Quake engine games, really.

No problem mate, french people are morons.

Does this mean that changing these values works like changing sens, as long you keep the values the same?

And why are the default 0.022 instead of just 1?

Yep it does.

For example if you have sens 5 at 0.022 it would be equal to 10 at 0.011, not sure about accel though, might be different for accel. No idea about why it is the default though.

A friend of mine set his sensitivity to 1.337 and adjusts m_pitch and m_yaw =)

Haha that's funny :). Thanks for the insight.

yeah they're multipliers for both sens and accel.
Mouse->whatever thing ingame-> yaw/pitch ( or the other way around but you get the idea ).

iirc it's 0.022 because with what was the standard value back when id was working on quake, the sensitivity values looked incredibly low and didn't make much sense. Dunno what yaw/pitch were or what parts of the code they might have tweaked on their way to the released game though.

Ah that makes sense. I didnt really get the idea of that order tho :(.

Your vertical sens / horizontal sens didn't change at all, it's in your head, no need to change anything.

Also ql does recalculate the fov according to your aspectratio so 100 = roughly 115
7.5 on the side + 100 on the 4/3 part + 7.5 on the side basically.

this

unless he got 4:3 resolution streched on his 16:9 monitor

would be fucked up and pretty easy to figure out on your own after the second minute.

but it's not like the feeling he wrote about would have appeared if he had used proper resolution so that's most likely the case

well I hate widescreen for that very reason actually ( proper 1920*1080 )

edit : well actually, rather the feeling that the world is turning around fast as fuck which can be easily confused with different vert/hori sens.

whoring out for more [+] :

16/9 = roughly +15/+16
16/10 = roughly +10
