1st?

OH NOES!

i know answer for all your questions but i cant see any reason why i should help to you

Yes

1. Bigger resolution.
2. No
3. Yes
4. No (maybe?)
5. people use what they want
6. cg_drawCrosshairNames "1"
7. Depends on the player
8. Up to you

Hi.

Q1-4 is something I knew a long time ago but I would definitely need to look it up now because I only use a simple black cross, so there are others here who know that better and from head. There is a loadhud command which loads the HUD from a file set by cg_hudFiles, but I never actually combined that with weaponconfigs. And that thin cross might be a high res pic of crosshair 21, but I cba to check, sorry.

Q5 3D items bob up and down, so they might pop up from behind cover and could become visible from certain angles while a stationary simple item would remain in cover from the same spot. (I personally think they look ugly, so I use cg_simpleitems 1)

Q6 IIRC you can only do that while spectating with cg_drawCrosshairNames 1, there is a yellow triangle there while ingame (cg_drawFriend 1)

Q7 I use 1 all the times.

Q8 0 for me

ps.: HF at QuakeCon

3D items bob up and down, so they might pop up from behind cover and could become visible from certain angles while a stationary simple item would remain in cover from the same spot.

cg_simpleItemsBob <0-2>

ty

you can adjust item size with cg_simpleitemsradius (8-22), default is 15
edit: also, cg_simpleitemsheightoffset

def is 15.

fixed, thx

3D armors are bigger than simple which allows you to see RA on ZTN for example. you could jack up the simple item size/height, but then you have giant weapon/ammo packs obscuring shots.

3D weapons are harder to see when they're dropped, which isn't really a problem for duel, but it makes simple items helpful for FFA.

You can see RA with cg_simpleitems 1 from below on ztn,if you set up a good size and >bob<.

yes then you have giant ammo packs in MH hall you can't see through

No?

1. You have to play around with monitor resolution, crosshair size, and maybe r_textureMode.

5. Personal preference, I think. Unless you tinker with the simple items settings, I think using 3D is better for visibility.

7. I don't think anybody changes their trueLightning between online and LAN. They use the same value at all times, but they don't all use the same value. For example, kgb uses 0.75, but Stermy and Hal use 0.99. YZ50 used 0.95. Be aware that the visual effect of a truelightning <1 might change depending on your ping, so with a lan ping, the lg might look different and throw you off.

8. Personal preference. kgb and yz50 use 0. Stermy and Hal use 1 and default impact cap. I use 0 because I don't like how it blocks my view of the target, and I don't think it gives good feedback anyway because it also goes off when you hit walls.

strenx uses 0.8, k1llsen 0.9

strenx played with 1 sometime ago and didn't even know it till he called up console to check for an interested spec, he might have left it at 1 cause he said lg felt good. goes to show it's all cg_placebo 0.0100 ))

You should always use truelightning 1 but try what works best for you. Lower values only affect the clientside draw of the beam, while servers use antilag for hit detection nowadays. Players with lower values are probably just used to it from q3 and/or believe it helps their aim.

Edit: I think it's disabled on lan servers, hence forced to 1. Similar to nudge settings. Not sure tho.

0.98=gg ez 60lg on 3/4 t4

1) r_texturemode GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST.

2) I don't think so.

3) Yes but through personal experience it is not worth the effort.

4) I think this is only possible by keeping a stock crosshair at a smaller size than your custom one using either crosshairhitstyle 2 or one that changes in size on impact.

5) This is entirely preference there is no concrete advantage to either one.

6) cg_drawcrosshairnames 1.

7) I think truelightning value on LAN is the least of your concerns. LAN is an entirely different beast compared to online play.

8) Some crosshairs do not benefit from lightningimpact and some do. Similarly some crosshair sizes benefit from varying ranges of lightningimpactcap. I have always preferred lightningimpact 0 but can appreciate lightningimpactcap sometimes.
