Zero Ronan Condon Absolute Fucking Champion clan : n8z posts : 816 site administrator some of you might have seen stony's article about quake3 fps tweaks, he lists a number of commands and what he would recommend. some of them are quite obvious, e.g. setting your lagometer to 0 obviously gains you a few fps but some of them are a bit obscure, the most significant one being s_mixahead 0.1 and s_mixprestep 0.08, which i tested on my own (piece of shit) work computer here and got a timedemo improvement of over 40fps. here they are anyway in cfg format, i recommend you try a few, if you are on a crappy pc like mine: r_mode 3 r_colorbits 32 r_texturebits 32 r_ext_compressed_textures 0 r_texturemode gl_nearest cg_noprojectiletrail 1 cg_showplayerlean 0 cg_lagometer 0 cg_drawfps 0 cg_scoreplums 0 m_filter 0 cg_notaunt 1 s_doppler 0 cl_packetdup 0 cg_smoothclients 0 cg_predictitems 0 s_mixahead 0.1 s_mixprestep 0.08

28/03/2002 #2 Illkillya James Galvin Entering a world of pain clan : fish heads posts : 892 site administrator ive donated to quake.ie! you have to extract four.dm_66 from the 1.30 pk3 file, and rename it to four.dm_67 then use that as your timedemo. There was no timedemo demo that came with 1.31 patch

28/03/2002 #3 saik mr.nobody posts : 242 i would suggest gl_texturemode "gl_linear_mipmap_nearest" because it is faster than "gl_nearest" cos of mip mapping. r_colorbits, r_texturebits, and r_depthbits should all be at 16, it's 2ce as fast on some systems as 32 (if uglier). r_lodbias at 2 and r_subdivisions 80 cut the numbers of polygons on screen substatially, big fps to be had there too. s_khz 11 and s_loadas8bit 1 cut down memory usage. that's all i can think of atm.
