#Quake 3 fov mods

Firstly settings that can only help or you won't notice: Okay, net settings all depend on yoru connection, and a bunch of other settings are subjective. The links are quake 3 in nature, but apply just the same to open arena and just about all other quake 3 based games. the base page that has the above and much more explains in detail why 125fps is awesome more detailed connection settings guide here are a few links i suggest anyone who wants to change settings in open arena should read: These settings are based on a few quake 3 tweak/settings sites i have found and personal experience. com_maxfps 125 - use 76 or 43 if your computer cannot handle 125, they are almost as good physics-wise com_soundmegs 16 - probably helps if your sound stutters from time to time com_zonemegs 32 - helps for larger maps it seems com_hunkmegs 128 - only change if you have more than 512MB of ram or so

cg_fov 100 - i leave mine at 90, 110 gives a strange fisheye effect cg_truelightning 1 - straightens out the lightning trail significantly, making it easier to aim cg_smoothClients 0 - only change to 1 if you are going to record demos cl_packetdup 1 - if you get lots of red on the lagometer try setting this to 2

cl_maxpackets 30 - only defrag and cpma mods need 125 here, otherwise you are artificially raising your ping

snaps 20 30 or 40 depending on the server (do a /sv_fps to see what to use) rate 25000 - the single most important setting IMO, a good 75% of high ping people you see on OA have this set to the default of 3000, the rest are just REALLY far away from the server. cg_drawtimer - shows a timer that tells you how long the map has been running cg_showfps - shows your fps onscreen, useful for checking com_maxfps cg_lagometer - turns on the lagometer if its not already on I know this thread is kinda old but ill share what i suggest and my reasoning behind them. Posting whole configs is senseless but here are some cvars I advice to each novice players to adjust from the beginning: I need config for better rail and other :-)Д¬an somebody write me it or send by e-mail? If sure, I will write my e-mail by pm. I often play tournaments and I very need good config.
