Didnt know your real name was tbone...

Hi, my name is Cenek and I've been sober for four days.

Also haven't changed my config since this Tuesday.

Hi, my name is Vlad and does anyone fancy messing around with some configs while having a couple of cold ones?

cold ones.......you mean.........corpses...?!

hey whatever floats your boat man...

Hi, my name is Skint and I can't config on my xbox.

Hi, my name is megaman3 (lol) and one of the biggest reasons I play console games is there aren't configs and everyone is using the same hardware. Changing settings is gay.

Hi, my name is sharpe, I haven't played Quake in a while, but if I had, I would have changed my config for sure

Hi, my name is potat. My config is neatly organized, I make regular backups of my config, and I keep a shortcut to my config on my desktop.

My god. Quake is you. o________o

ggs!

Boring ,i change sens,accel,fov,res etc a few times a night. Not recommended tho :P

hi my name is palatka and i have 28 different config files in my base q3

hi im hitsu, and this is a great topic!

hi

I think you just killed the thread.

I have 189 cfgs on my Cfg folder. I'm not proud.

Cool story bro

Hi, my name is hydr0, and it's been less than 1 day since I changed my config..

i find i need to make small changes each game to hit consistently though, not sure if it's just a mental thing or if perhaps the small changes really do make a difference... any ideas?

there is no more hope for you, the may the cfg gods have mercy on your soul.

i often alt+tab quakelive / notepad++ between CA rounds, and often fail to execute the cfg before next round starts. makes my team lose game :<<

bind F12 exec config

cmon its not that simple. first u have to switch to notepad, then ctrl+f to search, edit ur stuff, ctrl+s, go back to quakelive, announcer says 3,2,1 fight, exec autoexec, reposition hand, get afk-killed. when this happens 3 times, the match is lost

keep ur cfg organized, u dont need to ctrl f

I would imagine you would just be changing one thing at a time over the course of any given match anyway, like sens or fov

Hi I am Alborz, I quit playing quake. But when I was playing I sticked to 1 config since 2009-10. And used 1 sensitivity setting for almost a year, making me graduatly hit better over time and focus my game on other aspects.

Hi you are boring.

agree

guys, post your cfgs, let me check them

which one you want? the one I'm using today or the one I used last night or the one I used the night before that or the one I used a week ago?

MOST RECENT

man, this is outdated, edit pls

I've not even opened my config file or played the game since this!!!!!!

now you surely did

nope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

I just deleted some cvars that weren't in use... nothing else! I promise!

pls upload the new version without those trash cvars

Cant stop touching my fking sens these days. Have been going lower sens for years but I was never comfortable with it (despite some nice lg/rg accuracy constancy), especially rl is so sluggish.

now I am going for high sens for once because I am tired of watching vods of players who can do 360's mid strafe jump np while I barely could do a 180, and those guys never really have problems aiming with any weapon!

Watching Av3k and his goddamn beautiful 360's midjump makes me hate my stupid hands and the fact that I can never get good aim with anything lower than 26 cm/360. :(

But isnt 26/360 like mid sens?

It is mid, when I said lower I meant lower in terms of cm/360, not lower sens. So let me try again. I can't play with higher sens than 26/360 :p

yea sorry I was nitpicking. I hear ya bro!

I´ve seen you play, you have good moves. Takes me 2 hours to warmup to move like that.

You have? :L

cl_mouseacceloffset
cl_mousesenscap
cl_mouseaccel > 0.15

works well for this I've found :)

For me:
rail: sense 2, accel 0.2, acceloffset 4.5, senscap 5.00
rox: sense 3, accel 0.25;acceloffset 3.75;senscap 5.75
lg: sense 2.4;accel 0.12;acceloffset 0;senscap 5.2

for lg: bind mouse1 +attl

alias +attl "+attack;cl_mouseaccel 0.065"
alias -attl "-attack;cl_mouseaccel 0.12"

for everything else; bind mouse1 +attn

alias +attn "+attack;accel"
alias -attn "-attack;accel"

set the alias "accel" at the end of every weapon bind

And change the sensitivity/accel settings to your preference :)

Unfortunately,
1) I played with accel for some time but could never "master" it.
2) can't use different sens\accel dif weapons at all, even worse then 1)

Meh :)

Try one cl_mouseacceloffset and mousesenscap; set the offset around 0.5 to 0.7 lower than the senscap, so it will only come into effect when you 'swipe' the mouse for a quick 180 or a trendy 360.

Give it a shot, dare you :P

hi my name is uncle spulk (Kappa) and i cant change my cfg a single bit cos the settings have to always be the shittiest lowest-end possible to ensure i dont get fps lags on my intel HD graphics 2000 computer but even then i get lags on recent and big maps

well my sensitivity has always been steady at a high, 14cm/360 will never change it wfm deal with it you can put dat in yo' toast

i can do 360s and i use 40cm/360 ..its a practice thing .. high sens sucks though ..with low sens u can do anything u want ..with high sens u will never be able to track as good as low sens ..

Bullshit. I can track you from any position and run around you while you work on your 40cm :P
Both styles have positive and negativ attributes like everything else :)

I would say that if you have good tracking overall you can do equally good with low or high sens.

its a "comfort" thing.

rubbish u cant move a small distance with 22cm or so .. whats the disadvatige of lower sens ? but maybe ur right anything is possible i guess
look at stermy ..

Ye i dont know man my arm just dies when i try to play with low sens,even if i stick with it for days.Guess im not built for it :P Ofc when i say high i dont mean 5-10 cm because at that sens i think your right.

LOL

i assume you react perfectly to all kind of backrape and traps

no clue doesnt happen too often .. maybe i play the wrong gamemodes

theres only one gamemode that matters in quake, and its duel

ye i play that 1 ... nope dont have troubles with turning then =D

hard to get trapped on eye2eye

indeed it is

ok, cfg geeks.. a question.

is there a way to implement the "on +attack exec cvars" script completely absent the one-frame "hiccup" (e.g. for having different crosshairs/weap settings for different weapons upon fire button press/release)?

i thank you beforehand :)

bind mouse1 "+attrolol"

alias +attrolol "+attack;press"
alias -attrolol "-attack;release"

alias press " cross_press;fov_press;zfov_press;sense_press;accel_press"
alias release " cross_relea;fov_relea;zfov_relea;sense_relea;accel_relea"

-------------------------------------------------------------------


alias cross_press "w/e crosshair you want when you press attack eg cg_drawcrosshair 7;cg_crosshairsize 38
"
alias fov_press "w/e field of view you want when you press attack eg cg_fov 103"

alias zfov_press "w/e zoom field of view you want when you press attack eg cg_zoomfov 65"

alias sense_press "w/e mouse sensitivity settings you want when you press attack eg sensitivity 2.5"

alias accel_press "w/e accel settings you want when you press attack eg cl_mouseaccel 0.08;cl_mousesenscap 4.75"


-------------------------------------------------------------------

alias cross_relea "w/e crosshair you want when you release attack eg cg_drawcrosshair 7;cg_crosshairsize 38"

alias fov_relea "w/e field of view you want when you release attack eg cg_fov 110"

alias zfov_relea "w/e zoom field of view you want when you release attack eg cg_zoomfov 85"

alias sense_relea "w/e mouse sensitivity settings you want when you release attack eg sensitivity 2.9"

alias accel_relea "w/e accel settings you want when you release attack eg cl_mouseaccel 0.2;cl_mousesenscap 5.5"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

From this you can see the 'usage' of +alias and alias

For vstr:

To use 'script: "vstr script"
To define 'script':
set script "print ^1HAI; say ^6HAI"


etc etc hf :)

holyshit has some basic guides, and qlhud.eu is a cool place for custom hud files

I'm Lorfa, config collector and writer of this guide:

www.regurge.at/ql/Lorfa

The usual order is like this

1. Change config
2. Play better
3. play worse then before
4a. change config again ->wrong
4b. keep playing
5. reach new, hingher skill level

I reason it like this: after a change, you need to adapt first. most of the time, this improves awareness and motor skills for a short time. Afterwards, you get used to the setup, movement gets more sloppy and awareness drops, as you got somewhat used, but still lack the needed fine adjustment.

Hi, my name is Nikola and I'm an acoholic.

Hi, my name's dcy and i haven't touched quake this year. I did renew my QL account for no reason though.

edit: Wrong info, i didn't renew it and now i'm a swede.
