OK, You CFG Experts!

HKJM is my Jaymod CFG,

HK3 is my ETPro CFG

 

Thank you, in advance!!!

I'm no config expert, but I guess the first question will be - what are you trying to achieve that you need help with?

The correct settings for this setup. FPS, video, etc...

[MosesIsComingLookBusy]

well there is different ways you can go. do you want it to look good with snow, rain and all that stuff OR do you want to make it easier to see enemies, getting kills ?

 

with ET, you can strip the game naked to make it easier to see where enemies are (get rid of weather, sun, some grass, smoke from tanks and arty, explosions) - this will also give you better fps, just remember to have r_primitives set to 2

 

with what you got, you will easily get stead 125 fps at any time, any place.

I get constant 125 FPS. I also play on the highest settings, it looks very good.

That stuff I already have set, it's fairly stripped down. Mostly I'm looking for using the 16Gb of Ram, processing power, FPS - although I get 125 steady now, etc

Not with Nvidia. You want /r_primitives set to 0.

Make sure "Threaded Optimization" is turned off in the "ET.exe" profile in the Nvidia control panel as well.

 

Basic run down on /r_primitives setting (generally speaking):

nvidia - primitives set to 0 (automatic) (There have been cases of driver issues past version 347.25 that requires value set to 2)

intel - primitives set to 1

AMD - primitives set to 2

r_primitives values:

-1 = skips drawing
0 = uses glDrawelements if compiled vertex arrays are present, or strips of glArrayElement if not.
1 = force strips
2 = force drawElements

• b_ cvars are useless in jaymod, so you could remove those from HKJM
• b_fireTeamLatchedClass "1" in the ETPro config - it'll show in fireteam when your teammates are switching class, that way you don't have multiple people switching to covert ops for example.
• remove r_lastValidRenderer "GeForce 9800 GS/PCI/SSE2", that doesn't do anything and isn't accurate anymore

• r_customWidth "1920"
  r_customHeight "1080"
  r_displayRefresh "0"

 

other than that, there are a lot of useless cvars that are cluttering things up and probably aren't ideal, but I guess you don't want to go through them one by one. if you care to, http://antman.info/wolf/cvar/ is a great resource for that.

I never knew that about b_cvars in JM, thanks! I used Antman to make most of my CFg, but haven't looked back on it in years, and just made manual tweaks since then. Actually, I do want to know the useless ones, so I can scale down my CFG more. 17.7KB is almost to the max I'd ever want

/exec default.cfg  

[Mufasa]

I'm no expert, but off the top of my head...

• Break up your config into multiple files: a separate config for each script, a separate config for binds, a separate config with ETPro settings, and a separate config with your main settings. Then create an autoexec.cfg that execs all of those.
• Remove the "com_maxFPS 125; m_pitch 0.017" from all the places you have it - from what I can tell, none of your other scripts change it, so there's no need to set it each time you change weapons
• Since you have a powerful computer with plenty of space, you could get rid of your demo script and instead use cg_autoAction "7"

I went through quickly and looked at the Jaymod config, but I'm sure there's more that I'm just not knowledgeable enough to tell you are bullshit. If you care to go through them all, Google is your best resource.

seta pb_sv_guidauth 0 // this belongs in a server config
bind p "" // this doesn't do anything
bind F5 "vstr autoaction" // there is no autoaction script for it to change
seta s_khz "60" // I believe 44 is the max
seta s_doppler "0" // why wouldn't you want 1?
seta r_picmip2 "3" // doesn't exist in ET
seta r_lastValidRenderer "GeForce 9800 GS/PCI/SSE2" // as previously mentioned
seta r_dynamiclights "0" // is written twice, right next to each other
seta statistics1 "+topshots;+stats" // nothing bound to toggle this
seta statistics2 "-stats;-topshots" // nothing bound to toggle this
seta timelimit "8" // is a server command
seta sex "male" // doesn't do anything afaik
seta refereePassword "none" // unnecessary
seta mv_sensitivity "20" // multiview is etpro only & is disabled everywhere anyway

seta map "vstr mapout" // nothing bound to toggle it
seta mapin "-mapexpand; seta map vstr mapout" // nothing bound to toggle it
seta mapout "+mapexpand; seta map vstr mapin" // nothing bound to toggle it
seta model "multi" // nothing bound to toggle it

seta joy_threshold "0.15" // do you use a joystick?
seta head "default" // is nothing
seta fraglimit "0" // is a server command
seta handicap "100" // is a quake command
seta dmflags "0" // is a quake server command
seta developer "0" // is a CoD command I think
unbind F12	// uhhh
seta com_watchdog "60" // belongs in server config
seta com_watchdog_cmd "" // belongs in server config
seta com_blindlyLoadDLLS "1" // doesn't exist in ET
seta cl_125hz "0" // I think this is quakelive
seta cl_packetdup "0" // I'd recommend 1 or 2

Good stuff! THAT'S what I been looking for someone to do for a long time

hippy cat how the hell u get all that junk in ur cfg..

 

and if u have a 1070 it should recognize that.. an change ur 9800 to 1070..

 

turntle did good job there.. i went thru first one wow what a mess.lol no offense... 

 

i also do believe u cant change damagekick to 0[on jaymod in fa anyhow.. ] . i would throw that  away start fresh....my eyes are bleeding.lol 

 

i think this will help u with ram.. et is old mind u...wont use 16 gigs a ram no matter what u try.

 

 

if u look on side of this youtube link it has advanced cfg  help too maybe  watch them also.

 

 

ps nice fricken rig ..also pss  dont for get to go in to ur graphics card options and change to correct values for et to work best. if u need help im sure we can accommodate!

I took the original CFG I got from someone 10 years ago and made edits here and there but I never knew what all those entries meant
