Anyone know what cpi lexer was using It was probably a ball mouse at the time.

2001 and sens 4 on ballmouse, does not sound plausible. most likely 400dpi and double sens from OS forcing, thats why sens 2 = 4 on 400dpi on modern OS

in 2001 a lot of guys were using the razor boomslang, so ballmouse is possible.
i still have one myself (ballmice suck as fuck!).

what i mean was that low sens like 2 on a ballmouse would be impossible, as you cant flick a ballmouse for long, dno about the boomslang, never tried it.

having cl_mouseaccel 2 kinda explains a lot though..

ah ok! sure that's right.
boomslang was still just a ballmouse (sure "1000dpi", but when the ball stucks, it stucks!), so here flicks with sens 2 aren't possible as well.
you were right, didn't understand.

Great find!!

Omfg ball mouses

Dats hardcore, I can't imagine how hard it would be to play with a ball mouse!

plug one in and try

I wanted to try it, but realised, i don't have a ps/2 port on my PC :<

There's USB ball mice. Get a Logi Wingman or an old Boomslang.

i still don't get why they remove em from newer mobo's. Yes its cost cutting, and most wont ever use em, but we kept serial and parallel for such a long time after they died too. ps2 keyboard are still being used.

It's playable.

they suck when it comes to prescision and trackingspeed, but the feedback is actually nice.

dno why, but played abit with my microsoft ballmouse, and somehow i feel more connected to the game, that would be the feedback from the ball i guess. Tracking is only possible a low speed, so highsens is a necessity. precision is fine when you set sample rate to 200hz

ye the ball gives nice feedback.
with prescision i meant more the limitation of the mechanical motion detection.
there was this problem that you couldn't move slowly diagonally, and then the dirt changes the feel constantly.

dirt is a problem, but diagonal seems to be no problem. anyway, optical is better than ball, no doubt there :)

M19*LeXeR was good back the dayz.. loved his matches.

from Socrates CFG

//Movement
sensitivity 2.45
cl_mouseaccel 0
bind mouse2 "+forward"
bind c "+back"
bind SPACE "+moveup"
bind n "+movedown"
bind v "+moveleft"
bind b "+moveright"
bind MOUSE1 "+attack"
bind MOUSE3 "+speed"


so weird :D

check Lexer's, he had some weird setting too as I remember correctly

only ertf instead of rdfg/wasd. I don't think he had any other unusual settings =)

Yeah not to "weird" as socrates.

Try Toxic for the lulz. Worked though.

the fuck

masochist.
srsly why would you learn to play like this?

Yep,weird right ;) But when tox and his brother gopher started to play they didnt have anyone to copy binds from etc so they got used to this :) Nowdays edsf and mouse1 2 for jump/shoot is standard but on their time there wasnt much of a standard :P We played on LAN with the old ice-climbers abit in the beginning because my friend was tox and gophers cousin :) At that time Gopher was a monster in tdm :D He is top3 on my list of best tdmers of all time :D I got abit of topic but im drunk ,its OK :P
Quoting Gl00my from another thread

plused cuz you gave an insight of the old times and cuz you were drunk :D
don't really know gophers play anymore but ic-TOXIC made me fall in love with quake back then.

e: oh you were quoting .. anyways! :)

That is odd. I think asd m2 works regardless of where it is and what the keys are though. Just some are less natural than others, and there are nearby key considerations.

Blokey though had the weirdest config ever.

I still can't figure it out.

bind a +forward
bind z +back
bind alt +moveleft
bind space +moveright
bind ctrl +movedown
bind s +moveup
bind shift +speed

I thought maybe he had an alternate keyboard layout, but in photos I saw his hand on that side of the keyboard and the kb tilted slightly.

this is really sick!
and even sicker when he comes from europe.

best quake movie ever made )))
toxic was so wobbly but his shaft was already superb

Can you point me to where in the movie he uses LG? :p

dm6 where they fight the quad
e: oh that's awkward .. somehow toxic's name changed into Polosat1y :DDD
my fault, but still a nice vid :p

Hah, yeah, the nostalgic level in the video is extreme. :)

Just tried lexer.cfg. That is some seriously weird shizz.

Apparently his mouse settings are from back when he used a ball mouse. I don't know what his setup was when he switched to optical (he did switch to optical in Q3, right?).
