thanks son!

cheers m8

I was hoping to see a closer 3rd map :(

Cooller brain > Toxic aim

i love watching smart players over better aimers anyday =p you can actually pick up some good techniques

let me start by saying that I'm a geek guy.
why not develop your own strategies?

Because winning strategies are better?

LEWLS?

ZOMG?!?

you're making no sense. this isnt wc3. you cant "steal" strategies from players. everything necessary to succeed in q4 is skill. technique would be... positioning, spam locations, any little thing you can pick up from a demo.

its not like one would watch a cooller demo and go "AHA! All I need is a 40% LG and I'd be xX good." How can you "take" something from an FPS player? You can only learn.

meh, im tired and shouldnt be arguing this late at night. =p

..
aim is not strategy. you have no idea what you're talking about.

you just proved my point. aim is not strategy therefore there is nothing to steal from a q4 demo.

uhh, I didn't prove shit except for the fact that you're contradicting yourself.
I say: develop your own strategies
you retort, and I quote: "its not like one would watch a cooller demo and go "AHA! All I need is a 40% LG and I'd be xX good." "

but now, you're telling me aim is _not_ a strategy. which is it?

are you dyslexic by any chance?
read it over a few times.

No. And no. Pay attention what you're saying before you get served.

I think you got served.

Elaborate.

Well, he presented something, then you argued with it for no reason and implied he was unintelligent, then someone countered, then you tried to counter-counter and it didn't make any sense and you are pretending like it does so you don't look stupid and now you are getting called out on it, which means you got served, basically.

I said elaborate. I'm not going to pick through your convoluted attempt at retribution. I guaruntee you you're wrong. Maybe that's why you didn't make the effort. You're afraid of my reply. Present a logical argument in a concise manner, please.

If you aren't going to attempt to understand my answer, then don't ask for one.

Haha wow I just realized im arguing on a forum. NM, you win I dont care gg. :D

Obviously, you do. If you're going to give me an answer you could make it legible. I'll read your post later if I remember.

k

you are welcome!

for what? I always spell guaruntee that way, and on purpose.

you are welcome again!

i am the auto spelling corrector! thank you!

guaruntee. you're welcome.

you are welcome!

Ok, you're way off. I argued with it for a perfectly good reason: he was implying that aim was a strategy.
And I never called him unintelligent. I said he didn't know what he was talking about. Granted, if he had intelligence, he may not be inclined to talk about things he does not know of, but that is a different matter entirely.
Not sure I understand the problem?

;)

ive been a fan of yours for many years

Your blatant misread of sarcasm just got you in a rather bandwidth wasting conversation, so i ask you again, read it over a few times.

I'm going to have to read what you said over first.

has any1 watched the demo?

i love you all people :D

laff @ u

.

somebody plz avi those demos :'(

Avi !

i agree... im too lazy to install q4Max .7 and click on the q4 icon and type some characters.

i dont have q4, it does not run on my machine :<

me neither, but it runs on my friends pc =)

i dont have any friends :<

no way dude, you're a proud member of the esr troll community !!!

me to. so pls someone avi file this =)

According to your bio this is your hardware....

CPU P4 2,4 C
512 MB Corsair RAM , 400 GB, Lite-on 52246S
Radeon 9500 @ 9700 Pro
MS Explorer 3.0 & Old razercplish fatpad

that's more than enough power, and I bet you'll get a constant 60 FPs with hte new q4max.

Pf 2.0
GF4 ti4200
256ram

Runs quite well.

how many fps?

With r_lightdetaillevel 9 = 40-60 (less in heavy fire fight)
With ambient/vertex = 50-60

AMD 700
380 ram
Geforce 256
q3 @ 115 fps

pentium 3 - 600
g-force 4 mx
256 mb sdram

q3 @ 90-100 fps...

not a joke.

via c3 1200, 128 mb ram, windows xp loading time: 5 minuntes

The boy on the bed think that cooller is kinda good. Didnt think he would be this good at Q4 but I bet that sneeky russian proved me wrong.

Grats to 1st place

AVI of the grand final.

thx m8

thx you're the man :D

i dont know if it is my config, but how comes quake4 doesnt seem nearly as fast as quake3 ? i guess as peoples computers get better so will they !

I have Q4 1.05 and the maps,
but can't playback the demos :-(
computer first loads map of the demo, then q4 crashes.
I have also installed Q4Max on my computer,
but I didn't load (don't know how to do that).
Can you help me?

reinstall with 1.0.4

download the maps (links on esr)
download qmax 6mb and cpl files (media and one more)
download seismovision 3 beta

works for me

which cpl files?

got em now from the official q4max site.

You can also start q4max from q4 main-menu: mods -> q4max

then run the demo by entereng playnetdemo <demoname> in the console.

when I try to load up Q4max from the main menu,
quake 4 crashes and returns to windows.
is this because of 1.05?

if I do so,
my quake4 crashes, I get returned to windows and get an errormessage.

q4max suxx, xbattle is functioning without any problems.

lmao @ xbattle functioning without problems!

I am tempted to notify you about his flag (that maybe explains his statement), but then I would probably be called a racist again. :(

well i'm german too and i would have done it! :p

Lucky me I didn't do it then!

i meant the first part not the second. i wouldn't call you a racist ;D

Oh I see, thank you mate!

you can load mods exactly like in Q3, make a shortcut to the quake4.exe and add +set fs_game q4max (or whatever the folder of the mod is named) to the target, e.g.:

"D:\Spiele\Quake 4\Quake4.exe" +set fs_game q4max

make sure the added arguments are outside the " " and have a whitespace in between (hi therogue :p)

I've never seen such poor demo support in my life.
I've got Q4 version 1.0.5
I have q4max 0.7
I have all the maps

Yet when I load up q4max and type in playnetdemo <demoname> I crash to my desktop the second I press enter. This is so frustrating - does anybody have any idea whats going on?

I've tried the q4maxupdater and q4pickupupdater and neither of them solved the problem.

Anyone....?

Disregard this post!

There is more to Q4 than strategy and aim.

It seems people are lumping everything that isn't aim into strategy.

Movement isn't strategy.

Sound recognition isn't strategy.

Cooller lost track of Toxic less often than Toxic lost track of Cooller. Cooller was able to overcome the Toxic aim advantage by being able to fire at spots when he knew Toxic was on his way somewhere but Toxic didn't know where Cooller was, or was going.

first frag of the game is a fgood example of that :))))

Sound recognition on its own isn't strategy, but positional recognition and spatial awareness are a sort of 'tactic' or, uhm, 'skill' which is in the same, broad category as general strategy.

nice contradiction

lol true

"Cooller was able to overcome the Toxic aim advantage by being able to fire at spots when he knew Toxic was on his way somewhere but Toxic didn't know where Cooller was, or was going."

k!

i saw this game already live in dallas and watched the demo now several times and i love it. they way cooller literally destroys toxic here is so perfect. perfect timing, almost perfect move, cooller knew all the time where toxic was and what he was doing next. now i understand why toxic looked so pissed, when he stood up from his chair. at least on blip he had no chance whatsoever.

btw in the demo, like 1 minute to go, when cooller suddenly stops moving etc: cooller stopped playing, took his headphones off, moved the keyboard to the desk and wanted to standup, until a cpl admin told him, that cooller had play to the end :P

That boy needs therapy!

hehehe

Lie down on the couch! what does that mean?

Anyone know what coollers mouse settings/setup were?

Good!

I think that Cooller is using the MS Wheelmouse Optical, based on the PQ4 video of the final (silly me I didn't check at the time). If so this is the same mouse that Fox, Tox and Gopher use and costs a nice £10 or €15.

1.1a!

Are you working on commission from an old warehouse full of ms wheelmouse optical 1.1s? You manage to work it into every toxic/fox/mouse thread :P

why fox said that cpl doesn't allow cfg tweaking? you can see that cooller has bright enemymodel in the .avi

that's in the new q4max menu ;)

oooh, ok =)

5!
