Clan Friend SunLight Posted July 1, 2013 Clan Friend Share Posted July 1, 2013 Some descriptions added to main list why didn't you put // for comments, and no slash at the beginning, so people could just copy and paste? After a quick glance I found some useless ones, btw: seta r_roundImagesDown 5 // useless value, since roundImagesDown is 0/1 for on/off seta r_smp 0 // *disables* multiprocessor. Useless anyway, because it's not in ET Windows code at all (and broken/disabled in ET Linux code) In my opinion you should change one cvar at a time, then benchmark a demo with /timedemo some cvars don't give any fps increase in some machines, maybe they did in 2003 but not now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shana Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Some cvars don't give any fps increase in some machines, maybe they did in 2003 but not now This guide is especially for old pcs, new ones don't need such things About roundImagesDown 5 in my case it gave me 2 fps with smp i have only one processor so it's not needed to be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan Friend SunLight Posted July 1, 2013 Clan Friend Share Posted July 1, 2013 This guide is especially for old pcs, new ones don't need such things About roundImagesDown 5 in my case it gave me 2 fps with smp i have only one processor so it's not needed to be 1 set roundImagesDown to 1 5 would still work, since it's 0/nonzero aka on/off, but it could be misleading, because people might think 5 does a different thing than 1. It's as if I set /cg_wolfparticles 1337 it would still work, because the game only checks if it's 0 or not, but it would be misleading and it would spread like a virus to other people's cfgs if they just copy-paste without investigating smp is not implemented in Enemy Territory, so 0 or 1 makes no difference For old pcs you mean prehistoric? When I first installed ET my graphics card had already no fps increase from different r_picmip, but as I said the ultimate test is benchmarking with /timedemo 1 and changing few cvars at a time.

Shana Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 For old pcs you mean prehistoric? My previous pc was 1,2Ghz, 768mb ram, 1,4 pixel shader(and some more useless crap) So yes for prechistoric pcs Now I have a temporary one 1,6Ghz, 1gb ram, 2 pixel shader and Et works fine(thanks to those commends) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ti Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 For old pcs you mean prehistoric? When I first installed ET my graphics card had already no fps increase from different r_picmip, but as I said the ultimate test is benchmarking with /timedemo 1 and changing few cvars at a time. Setting r_picmip 3 didn't change the max. fps but the min. fps! If you only had 64mb or less dedicated videoram r_picmip made a difference, else chances were high that stuff was paged into system ram and that produced fps drops. I can remember my Geforce2 MX at that time quite good. If I look on the hardware monitor of used videoram now it says 68mb with picmip 3, with picmip 0 it's 142mb. Today it's just a matter of taste of course and useless regarding fps, but personally I still prefer picmip 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shana Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Cfg for lazy people, just put it in etmain folder of your game and make in game /exec LowGraphics.cfg and then /vid_restart Have fun LowGraphics.cfg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader RedBaird Posted September 1, 2013 Leader Share Posted September 1, 2013 Cfg for lazy people, just put it in etmain folder of your game and make in game /exec LowGraphics.cfg and then /vid_restart Have fun Maybe not so much "lazy", but "ignorant", like me. It would take a lot of time to research all those commands, and each time you fubar one, you become less ignorant I once 'improved' a cfg fragment post in another game and had fun playing with an upside-down screen for a while.

Shana Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Final version, cvars are sorted, more important are at the top. Hope you like it Also change name of this file to shorter one // updated Th3o LowG Final.cfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ti Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Final version, cvars are sorted, more important are at the top. Hope you like it Also change name of this file to shorter one Th3o I like it better alphabetically sorted but maybe better your way if you don't know what you're exactly looking for... But start all irrelevant lines with a double slash // so they get ignored when ET is loading the config. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But start all irrelevant lines with a double slash // so they get ignored when ET is loading the config. Sometimes it's better to have all under r_ ; s_ ; cg_ etc and sometimes it's better to have more important at the top. I'm going to make series of full cfg's for Nq, Silent, and Jaymod if I get into it's commands Th3o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeclimber Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 crappy computer with crappy graphics so I play like this.

Leader RedBaird Posted October 28, 2013 Leader Share Posted October 28, 2013 Pentium 4 Duel core 3.00ghz OFF-TOPIC: Dual-core Pentium 4 made me go "huh", but there was such a beast, around 2005: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_Extreme_Edition#Pentium_Extreme_Edition It was really hot stuff in it's day, much hotter than the P4 (sing[e-core, like all other Pents) 3ghz I started ET on! I now do remember my envy at the specs and flinching at the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
