Revision of Team IPX ETQW Configs from Thu, 17/09/2009 - 10:14

This will try rendering another frame whenever it estimates it has enough time left for rendering before the next game frame is done. This will give you the highest possible framerate, however it can lead to frame “bunching”. To many (including myself) this feels really jerky – 200fps in the best case is no good if its regularly dropping to 60fps.
SUGGESTED CONFIGS
| CONFIG | variables/defult | How its used | Whats it Achieve | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| seta com_unlockFPS 1 | 0=off, 1=on | seta com_unlockFPS 1 | Shows your current Frames Per Second in the top right corner | |||||
| seta com_unlock_timingMethod 1 | 0=max fps highest jerkyness, 1=lower max fps, less jerkyness, 2= lowest max fps, least jerky | seta com_unlock_timingMethod 1 | In short, 0= highest FPS, but it will feel jerky. 1= lower fps than 0, higher fps than 2, less jerky than 1, more jerky than 2. 2= lowest max fps, least jerky. Suggest 1, with a sensible com_unlock_maxFPS (see below) | |||||
| seta com_unlock_maxFPS 120 | defult = 30 | seta com_unlock_maxFPS 120 | increases your FPS to a max of 120 | |||||
| seta g_fov 120 | Defult =95, but can range from 95-120 | seta g_fov 120, or seta g_fov 95 etc | gives more angle on your field of vision. ie you can see more of whats going on around you | |||||
| seta net_clientLagOMeter 1 | 0=off, 1=on | seta net_clientLagOMeter 1 | Shows when you’re lagging and dropping packets. Technical explanation: Set this to 1 to monitor your connection, a small graph will appear in the lower left hand side of your HUD.The first line is related to your graphics card updating displayed frames in time with received gameworld updates from the server. It will be green if frames are being rendered in time with the world updates. If it has a lot of yellow then gameworld updates are not being displayed and are being dropped. In this case you may wish to tweak your visual settings to raise your average framerate. Another option is to adjust net_clientPrediction by very small values until the line is mostly green. Note that if you are using a value below 1 for net_clientPrediction the first line of the graph may be mostly yellow. | |||||
HarassmentPandas Suggested Vehicle Settings
Turn off cockpit
Allow the camera angle to change
Remember Camera Views – This is a huge freaking difference. No cockpit means greater view angle.

path to autoexec.cfg
\My Documents\id Software\Enemy Territory – QUAKE Wars\sdnet\robag\base\autoexec.cfg
File:autoexec.cfg
set logtimestamps “1”
set logfile “2”
set logFileName “console_$Y-$M-$D_$h.$m.$s.log”
set developer “1”
pb_logtofile 1
this creates a handy log file of a full dump of the console during the start up of the game
Replace robag with your ETQW Profile name
The placement of the file is very important.
Otherwise the “profile.cfg” and “bindings.cfg” will reapply the default keybinds.
if you remove “profile.cfg” and “bindings.cfg” files ETQW will replace them the next time you run the game
Ltmon’s Zombie Bot Config
This is a good config to run against bots (won’t work in a pub) in order to set up the Strogg as weaponless zombies and yourself as god. I use this to practice aiming. You should save this in your profile base or pro dir as “zombie.cfg”, then in the console type “exec zombie”.
Next, stand at the top of a hill with a supply crate and fire at any passing strogg. They’ll come towards you, and you can practice aiming and see if you can get them all before the top of the hill. Turning on jumping and strafe jumping will make it harder, and you can also tweak this to do the same thing as a Strogg yourself.

Chuck’s Key Binds
Just the fancy ones… most of these are ideas i’ve stolen from others, so i take very little credit.
The first one is self explanitory:
bind "del" "kill" "" "default" //suicide
Stroy Up & Down Keys… StroyUp is same as GDF Reload, which feels very natural… I use z for stroy down, but what ever button you choose to use should be easily accessible!
bind "r" "_reload" "" "default" bind "r" "_stroyUp" "" "aggressor" // has to be set individually for each strogg class, bind "r" "_stroyUp" "" "technician" // so as not to screw up some other class specific binds bind "r" "_stroyUp" "" "constructor" bind "r" "_stroyUp" "" "oppressor" bind "r" "_stroyUp" "" "infiltrator" bind "z" "_stroyDown" "" "default"
Flyer Controls: the following script makes flyers behave more like a flyer drone, or free fly while spectating. Personally i find this easier… but i still suck at flying. Note: CTRL is usually my crouch key… substitute C if this is what you use to crouch.
seta g_bind_context_anansi "flyer" // create a generic flyer context seta g_bind_context_bumblebee "flyer" seta g_bind_context_hornet "flyer" bind "w" "_sprint" "" "flyer" // Forwards bind "s" "_speed" "" "flyer" // Airbrake bind "SPACE" "_forward" "" "flyer" // Up (Ascend) bind "CTRL" "_back" "" "flyer" // Down (Descend)
Fire decoys with Mouse2… that pesky 1 key is just to hard to reach quickly. Uses the Vehicle and Flyer contexts, so doesnt affect ironsights when on foot.
bind "MOUSE2" "_weapon0" "" "vehicle" // Fire decoy bind "MOUSE2" "_weapon0" "" "flyer"
Changing the view in vehicles:
bind "HOME" "_vehicleCamera" "" "default" // Toggle 3rd Person View bind "END" "toggle g_showVehicleCockpits" "" "default" // Toggle Cockpit
Class and Weapon Selection Binds, save you going to the limbo menu. This last one is a big one, and comes in four parts.
Its big because it needs to be set individually for each class, if you try to consolidate them all to a GDF and Strogg context (similar to how i did the flyer context above) you lose the ability make class specific binds (the weapons selection relies on this).
How it works: pressing alt-1 selects soldier, alt-2 selects medic, alt-3 engineer… etc… if you are Strogg the the Strogg equivalent is selected.
pressing shift-1 selects the first weapon for your current class (eg Assault Rifle), shift-2 the second (eg Shotgun)… etc. Changes take effect on next respawn. oh, and you get a happy green message telling you what you have just chosen.
Part 1: Class Selection for GDF
bind "1" "clientClass soldier 0; addchatline '^2Class = Soldier'" "alt" "soldier" bind "1" "clientClass soldier 0; addchatline '^2Class = Soldier'" "alt" "medic" bind "1" "clientClass soldier 0; addchatline '^2Class = Soldier'" "alt" "engineer" bind "1" "clientClass soldier 0; addchatline '^2Class = Soldier'" "alt" "fieldops" bind "1" "clientClass soldier 0; addchatline '^2Class = Soldier'" "alt" "covertops" bind "2" "clientClass medic 0; addchatline '^2Class = Medic'" "alt" "soldier" bind "2" "clientClass medic 0; addchatline '^2Class = Medic'" "alt" "medic" bind "2" "clientClass medic 0; addchatline '^2Class = Medic'" "alt" "engineer" bind "2" "clientClass medic 0; addchatline '^2Class = Medic'" "alt" "fieldops" bind "2" "clientClass medic 0; addchatline '^2Class = Medic'" "alt" "covertops" bind "3" "clientClass engineer 0; addchatline '^2Class = Engineer'" "alt" "soldier" bind "3" "clientClass engineer 0; addchatline '^2Class = Engineer'" "alt" "medic" bind "3" "clientClass engineer 0; addchatline '^2Class = Engineer'" "alt" "engineer" bind "3" "clientClass engineer 0; addchatline '^2Class = Engineer'" "alt" "fieldops" bind "3" "clientClass engineer 0; addchatline '^2Class = Engineer'" "alt" "covertops" bind "4" "clientClass fieldops 0; addchatline '^2Class = Field Ops'" "alt" "soldier" bind "4" "clientClass fieldops 0; addchatline '^2Class = Field Ops'" "alt" "medic" bind "4" "clientClass fieldops 0; addchatline '^2Class = Field Ops'" "alt" "engineer" bind "4" "clientClass fieldops 0; addchatline '^2Class = Field Ops'" "alt" "fieldops" bind "4" "clientClass fieldops 0; addchatline '^2Class = Field Ops'" "alt" "covertops" bind "5" "clientClass covertops 0; addchatline '^2Class = Covert Ops'" "alt" "soldier" bind "5" "clientClass covertops 0; addchatline '^2Class = Covert Ops'" "alt" "medic" bind "5" "clientClass covertops 0; addchatline '^2Class = Covert Ops'" "alt" "engineer" bind "5" "clientClass covertops 0; addchatline '^2Class = Covert Ops'" "alt" "fieldops" bind "5" "clientClass covertops 0; addchatline '^2Class = Covert Ops'" "alt" "covertops"

Thanks for those key binds Chuck
I’ll check them out when I get hoe. I hate pressing one for the decoys and the right mouse button feels so unused when I fly.
