Sniper/Settings Help

[Outlaw23]

Hi everyone, 

 

I have a question. What are the best cmd "seta" settings when using a sniper? 

 

for example, my sniper-related "setas" are all at the default settings. 

 

/seta cg_zoomstepfg 10

 

/seta cg_zoomstepsnooper 5

 

/seta cg_zoomstepbinoc 3

 

/seta cg_zoomdefaultfg 55

 

/seta cg_zoomdefaultsnooper 40

 

/seta cg_zoondefaultbinoc 22.5

 

/seta cg_zoomfov 22.5

 

/seta cg_zoomdefaultsniper 20

 

/seta cg_zoomstepsniper 2

 

does anyone here know what I should change here? my issue is that, after I scope in and take a shot, my scope flings all the way up. I'd like to fix this. 

 

Any advice & help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks.

There are 2 main things that will effect recoil:  first is your class xp, once you hit level 3 covert (I think it's level 3), your recoil will lessen.  Next is FPS.  71 fps will half the amount of drawn recoil.  You can also change your pitch, this is completely personal, to make fighting recoil easier. 

 

 

 

Here's everything to do w/ sniping I have in my cfg(s).  Let me know if you need more info on how to actual make use of this and fit in to your cfg layout and personal settings.

 

bind F5            "exec binds.cfg"     //To reset my binds after using the sniper cfg since I change them around.  If doing this be sure to have your binds.cfg include all settings in MWHEELUP so you don't get stuck in MWHEELDOWN settings when you're done sniping.

bind F6            "exec Sniper.cfg"    //To execute the sniper settings.

 

 

 

Sniper.cfg:

 

//-----Haruhi Suzumiya sniper CFG-----\\

 

bind MWHEELDOWN    "r_fastsky 0; com_maxfps 71; bind mouse2 weapalt; m_pitch 0.022"

bind MWHEELUP "r_fastsky 1; com_maxfps 125; bind mouse2 +movedown; m_pitch 0.022"

 

 

The rest is up to you to you to time out how fast and far you pull down after firing.

My FPS is 250. Is this bad? I will change my mouse pitch and update you again. 

[Haruhi Suzumiya]

Change to 71 when you snipe.  Just make a toggle between 250 and 71, and if you decide to change pitch as well, juat add that in at the same time. 

 

If you have the sky turned off "r_fastaky 1", you'll want to toggle that to 0 as well so the crosshair doesn't blend in with the black skybox.

Okay, thanks.

How do you crouch while sniping ?

This is the script I use. Everything is under one key. Also, IF you wanted to zoom in/out with your sniper scope you would have to have weapnext and weapprev bind. But I dont use that feature a lot.

 

bind MWHEELDOWN "weapnext"
bind MWHEELUP "weapprev"
set hupo1    "+attack2; sensitivity 2.50; Com_maxfps 71; m_pitch 0.037; set hupox vstr hupo2"        
set hupo2    "-attack2; sensitivity 1.64; Com_maxfps 125; m_pitch 0.0161; set hupox vstr hupo1"           
set hupox    "vstr hupo1" 
bind mouse3    "vstr hupox

C is also crouch, i use mouse 2 for strafe jump crouching

[Outlaw23]

I also crouch when sniping. I'm probably gonna stick to what I have for now, I've gotten the hang of my settings/default script a lot better now. Thanks for the info nonetheless!

so whats the best confg for sniper i use my normal confg to everything 😅 im a bit noob at this so can you help ths

Just toggle your FPS to 71 to reduce recoil.  You can toggle your m_pitch to make fighting the recoil easier but that's personal to you.   I for example snipe better with a lower m_pitch, but I'm a weirdo.

What FPS do you use for fragging?

125

I'm kinda bumping this old thread - delete if necessary - but I thought I'd barge in and give a piece of general advice on sniper settings:

- com_maxfps 71 is a must have. lowers and smoothens your recoil a lot.

- pmove_fixed 1 : also reduces recoil a little - but you can't reach certain heights because you jump slightly less high. So I have a little script to toggle it on and off based on circumstances:

set pmove_fixed vstr pmove_fixed1
set pmove_fixed1 "pmove_fixed 0 ; echo ^1pmove_fixed 1, jump higher; set pmove_fixed vstr pmove_fixed2"  
set pmove_fixed2 "pmove_fixed 1 ; echo ^1pmove_fixed 0 - low recoil; set pmove_fixed vstr pmove_fixed1"
bind kp_del "vstr pmove_fixed"

 

- cg_zoomstepsniper 5   : reduces the number of steps needed for zooming in (and out) from default zoom to max zoom which can be useful to track targets afar. Nobody needs every zoom steps available by default. You need to zoom in as fast as you can as it reduces the chance of you being shot first, duh. Advanced technique: zoom out as soon as you fired your first shot so that you can shoot another one quickly after the first one.

 

- m_pitch : to be fiddled with. Get yourself a higher m_pitch than the base value when you snipe, it helps with the recoil immensly. I do not recommand messing with m_yaw (horizontal sensitivity) as it produces a weird output, very unnatural and unpleasant to deal with.

 

-Finding the right sensi and m_pitch is up to you, get on the server and try different values so you find ones that fit you and your usual gaming habits. Not going to dwell more on this specific sensi m_pitch topic, find out for yourself what a config and a rather simple use of commands, cvars and scripts can help you with even more...

 

Peace,

Sniper scripts aren’t allowed, although messing with m_pitch/yaw and fps isn’t frowned upon i do have a toggle key to change that for sniping

pmove_fixed 1

Isn't that server side? I mean in trickjump servers you can toggle it on or off but in regular servers this command is forced to 0. I might be wrong here.
