cl_locknetfps 0
cl_maxfps 0
gl_swapinterval 0

I know that these help to raise your fps.

I think Spook's are for better network speeds, idk for sure though.

Impule was origionally used to execute certain commands, like impulse 0 switched from the shotgun to the axe. They call certain commands based on the number. But some cheaters used impulse commands in wallhacks and aimbots and such, so, seeing as it wasn't used in any other circumstances, jitspoe crippled it so cheaters would get pissed.

Impulse isn't used for anything in Quake2/Paintball2. It was used in Quake1, but Quake2 introduced specific commands for things like switching weapons. Some cheats used the impulse command to activate features, but the impulse command by itself does nothing (aside from messing with your view). I should probably take that little "feature" out.

As for the ins and outs of the game -- the key thing is to learn how to lead your opponent and predict where they will go. You also need to have a good understanding of each map -- where you can position yourself to guard different entrances and where you can attack from that isn't easily guarded.

FTW. Dam those one path maps!

wow jits that sounds like an elite level skill (but i'd expect no less)!

seems like it'd be a cool idea for someone to host a tutorial server for all us noobs out there

although its easy to feel that way after getting pwned badly tonight on a few maps! but hey, getting pwned badly is what noobs do, right?

nightryder · « **Reply #27 on:** May 15, 2007, 03:48:03 PM »

maybe not a server but a tutorial demo that answers all the questions new players ask like "how do you jump so far and fast" or "how do i pick up a gun"

webhead · « **Reply #28 on:** May 15, 2007, 04:29:27 PM »

ya sure, that would be great too.

Isn't a lot of that stuff answered on the FAQ Page.

webhead · « **Reply #30 on:** May 16, 2007, 10:59:15 AM »

kinda, but an actual playable tutorial would be better. plus it could cover additional stuff that's not on the FAQ list.

Check out that link, it may help some.

webhead · « **Reply #32 on:** May 16, 2007, 11:14:35 AM »

cool! how'd you get to that?

edit: i might also mention this link i found. it's really geared toward quake 2, but i'm sure most of it generally applies to this game too.

Well this one is a bit more geared for DP.

It is just a list of commands, but there are numerous pages that could be found useful in the Wiki

Yeah just experiment with strafing and shooting techniques...

some console commands that I've used
bind mwheelup hand1
bind mwheeldown hand3
bind mouse3 hand2
umm
maxfps stuff..

That's pretty much it...

Some help may be to download a hi-res texture pack... it makes the textures easier to make out and what not (good for visual distance calculating) also turn on reflective water... that can be a benefit on maps like battle2.bsp

what do those things do?

bind mwheelup hand1 - When I scroll up my gun goes into my left hand
bind mwheeldown hand3 - When I scroll down it goes to my right
bind mouse3 hand2 - when I click the middle mouse button, it centers it.

haha y00tz, if you want you can just take my whole config

webhead · « **Reply #38 on:** May 16, 2007, 11:05:28 PM »

ok so i guess what i'm really looking for is some sort of listing of all the commands i see in my config file and what they do. is there any such thing?
cuz the quake commands site i found doesn't mention all of them. in fact, quite a lot of them aren't mentioned.

I'm not sure if all of them are in there, but see where Zorchenhimer wrote "this one"? Well thats a link to most of the documented commands.

Here's the link again: this one
