video / net settings

(raibs) #1

  1. i did not find r_vertexlight command anymore. it made a huge difference on weaker systems

  2. default video settings for the game are as follows: color to 24 bit, trinilear filtering etc. no wonder anyone has a performance “lag”. i have a steady creepin 30 fps on my Athlon XP 1600+, GF 3 Ti200 with standard sets. With my rtcw cfg could get some 50 fps when playin on a public server with 6-7 players per team.

  3. the default net settings of a rate 5000 somehow doesnt work in ET any good - u just feel like the game lags. Should set this value to a decent extent if not playing on a modem. like 10 000 - 25 000. (snaps 40 and cl_maxpackets 100 for most of the connections is better as well).

r_vertexlight “1” does work or does seem to be there!. Not sure if it does anything but I have it in my config and the variable seems to appear now. I agree that fps is an issue, but lets face it my PC is nearly 3 years old with a 1ghz cpu Im just waiting for intel to release prescott. I think cl_maxpackets “100” is too much, even for cable/adsl. I think cl_maxpackets “60” is the maximum you should use because otherwise you will end up with ping spikes due to the limited upstream of most cable/adsl providers.

The r_vertexlight cvar does not exist in ET. Setting it will have no effect.
