staticwarp Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Hi guys, i'm hoping for a little help with my cfg. I've read and searched through the forums and can't figure out how to change it to a custom cfg. I saved the cfg from this thread: http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/45855-lag-freehelp-cfg/ and did this: open textfile editor , copy paste it in it then save the file in wolfenstein enemy territory/etmain as name.cfgThen in any ET mod (jaymod,silent) do /exec name.cfg in console. the console then says "couldn't exec name.cfg". here are some details on my setup: CPU: pentium r dual core e5800@ 3.20ghz RAM: 6 gb Graphic Card: none (integrated graphics) Monitor: 24" widescreen, usually running at 1920/1080 Internet connexion and speed: xdsl Game graphics: don't mind ugly. What resolution you play with: 1280/1024 What Sensitivity: 4 What Crosshair: default crosshair style, small size What FOV you want: 110 my ping is usually <100 and fps between 30 and 50. if you can also suggest some cvar changes that will eliminate lag that would be great, but i mostly just need to know how to implement them as mentioned above. I've been playing for a little over a month now and have started to figure out that i'm having some serious lag issues. i'd like to clear them up so i can start to get a little better and stop getting killed before i even get a round fired. I also have a problem with the fullscreen display. the game is displayed about 1/2" too low, resulting in a black bar at the top of the screen and the bottom of the hud/chat area being cut off. thanks!

Ultra...?! Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 1.Run ET as administrator 2./exec etconfig (or any other name) 3.Problem with the fullscreen ? ---> http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/53588-resolution-problems-1-more/ emember at the end of.../vid_restart 4.Ping---> http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/53933-lagging/ maybe something will help you 1 Quote
Mr.Mohapatra Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 As for the couldn't exec: Make sure you are saving the file as a ".cfg" file and not of other types. Some text editors will save in plain text format even if you specify a name including ".cfg". For such cases, while saving, there should an option to save the file as a certain type. For example, in Notepad for Windows, in the save dialogue, right beneath the "File name" text box, there is a "Save as type" option. If you are using notepad, then you must select "All Files" as the desired option. This way, the file is saved as a ".cfg" file. As for the display, what are the screen resolution values in your cfg? Based on the information you provided, you might want to try these: /r_mode -1/r_fullscreen 1/r_customwidth 1280/r_customheight 1024 /vid_restart 1 Quote
S3ti Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 As for the resolution keep the original aspect ratio (16:9) and set the highest possible refresh rate your monitor supports in that mode. Try 1280x720 @ 60/75/120 hz Cvar for refresh rate is /r_displayrefresh xxx Check lag issues if it's really network lag with /cg_lagometer 1 Cvars to deal with are /rate (25000-50000) /cl_maxpackets (60-100) If you play with 30-50 fps I assume your "lags" are fps drops. 2 Quote
luventaz Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 mAyur and seti are right but if u still cant exec it maybe its already a cfg file but the name itself is "name.cfg" then to exec it u hav to typ /exec name.cfg.cfg (iv had that kinda issue...) and to hav more display refresh if basicaly u cant go over 60/75 hz, try duplicate displays if possible (i went from 60hz to 125hz) Quote
staticwarp Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) thanks for the tips guys, i got the new cfg to load (had to run notepad as admin and save as>all files instead of .txt). didn't know the game could be that ugly! XDI'll try some different settings to find out the best balance between graphics and framedrops/lag./vid_restart fixed the position issue.I tried the default.cfg from here:http://antman.info/wolf/cvar/#.UnrNrfmURGNand it's actually working really well, i'm not dying as much and getting a ton of headshots. the popups are huge at the resolution i'm using (1280x720). is there a way to make them smaller? you can see in this image that they actually cover my crosshair. Edited November 7, 2013 by staticwarp Quote
Notajedi Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I Take it that is a jaymod server. join server, press esc then the jaymod button, I think it's in display you can make various changes to pop ups there. Quote
S3ti Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 the popups are huge at the resolution i'm using (1280x720). is there a way to make them smaller? you can see in this image that they actually cover my crosshair. You can make them smaller with cg_drawsmallPopupicons 1 And you can limit the number of popups with cg_numPopups X Also open the console, type cg_pop and then hit tab, you will see some more cvars for the popups then... 2 Quote
Mr.Mohapatra Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) As evident from your screenshot, you are running at 29 FPS, not sure if that was a particular instant, or that is a common thing for you. I would recommend trying lower graphic settings to get better FPS, unless you've decided to cap it at that for some reason. Plus, from your lag-o-meter, you do seem to have an unstable ping. Edited November 7, 2013 by mAyur Quote
staticwarp Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 @seti: thanks, cg_drawsmallPopupicons 1 helped a lot. I changed cg_numPopups to 3 but it didn't change anything. the small icons make the game playable again and i've gotten used to it. @mayur: my fps varies wildy, from 24-85, usually I'll look at it when playing and it is about 60. I definitely need to find lower graphic settings that i'm comfortable with and figure out why my ping is all over the place. thanks for the help guys! Quote
S3ti Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 There are so many things in ET which are fps dependant, you really need to get them stable at least, not fluctuating. I would say at least 76 fps stable are needed to make it really playable... Maybe you find some settings here: http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/49238-fps-increase/ 1 Quote
staticwarp Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) here is the config i'm using now. my fps is a bit more stable, but chat sounds aren't playing, even though i've enabled them as far as i can tell. the game just isn't the same without the chatsounds, how can i get them to play? I'd also like to see explosions in the game, they seem to be turned off. //-------------------[ CVAR SETTINGS ]------------------// //---[ etpro ]------------------------------------------// seta

Mr.Mohapatra Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 The chat sounds work perfectly fine for me. Can you hear other sounds in-game, such as hit-sounds / headshot 'ting' / menu music? For explosions, you have to have : cg_wolfparticles 1 Quote
Notajedi Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 If you've no voice chat or voice chat text it's probs these needed to be changed to 1 from 0 seta cg_noVoiceChats 0 seta cg_noVoiceText 0 Quote
staticwarp Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) I was able to fix this by changing cg_noVoiceChats and cg_noVoiceText to 0 in the console. wierd, they're set to 0 in my cfg, but at least it's working! I discovered the hard way that cvars are case sensitive. I'll turn on cg_wolfparticles and see how if it makes my fps drop too much. I've noticed that the game will start recording demos seemingly at random. the only bind i have for this is f12 which i never press. are there any cvars i should check to try and keep this from happening? what can I press to stop the recording? Thanks guys! Edited November 12, 2013 by staticwarp Quote
