Quake3World

Alrightie, usually when I get a game I read and study it myself to figure things out, but this game has got to be an exception because it's like 7 years old and the vets are clearly changing it alot So I'm trying to get a crash course in some things that I know are important in my fps games. Here's what I got in my autoexec.cfg so far. What else should I put in it? Thank you for any help.

That looks pretty good. You got the most important thing down, which is the connection settings. The other popular thing amongst a lot of people is using low-quality gfx settings for the "pro gamer" type of play. But if you can run this game at a good frame rate as it is I wouldn't worry about it. Let me tell you, having played this game since 2000 no amount of console tweaking will make you a better player, you either gain that from experience or you never reach that plateau. But no matter what, just have fun with it.

you z4muz you

1v1?

Maybe you could try
seta cg_fov 115

Truth. I've never reached that plateau but I have fun each and every time I play. Win or lose.

those settings are only for dedicated servers, not clients. you dont need them.

any SV_ commands are server only.

109. Final offer.

isnt the field of view monitor specific , i have a 15'' monitor and play with 130 fov

if the monitor is curved, sure.

the only thing monitor dependant is the resolution. Which, for a 15" should probably be 1024x768 or maybe 1440x900 if its really new and high quality.
