hi2u ET,
About a year and a half ago Madscientist explained the aimspreadbug in ET. He basicly showed that people playing very high fps, benefitted from less spread when aiming.
So how do you achieve better accuracies in ET? Buy a good (dualcore) pc. Use the default USB mousespeed = 125hz and raise your FPS as high as you can. Once your FPS > mouserate your accuracy will start increasing without you actualy aiming better. Much like a cheat you get better while still being the same shit player. Use cg_drawspreadscale 2 to see your aimspread, and watch it getting smaller and smaller as you increase the FPS.
So here's the good news. CB once again doesnt care. Neither does Frop (soz pal, to me it looks like you were responsible for global config) So I invite all you people to start playing 166fps or higher, and abuse the spreadrate.
SHG could do it. Ofc kris whined about him having the same spread as everybody else, but who cares. Do we really need RTCW2 or another Quakecon before we get an updated config with com_maxfps IN 43 125? I actually remember seeing crumbs RTCW movie and wondering if it was pure aim or aimspread hax?
Well, CB nor Frop care, so I suggest we just all abuse it till it becomes a plague the size proning was, maybe then in a few years they will actually update the config. I reallize adding com_maxfps IN 40 125 is very much to ask, the feature would take thousand of manhours to investigate and implement, but it is the only choice of somehow 'fixing' a bug in RTCW/ET that can't be fixed without totaly changing the way the aiming/shooting feels.

And does it work on every q3 engine based games?
how come you know that?
:) good point btw!
Its only a few. Who cares about a fair game anyway?
(00:05:57) ([CB]Adacore) next CB config and CPC2
(00:06:06) ([CB]Adacore) don't know when they'll be released, but I guess we need one for qualis :S
(00:06:13) ([CB]Adacore) unless we're going to use an old one :D
I know this is a private log, but well :)

something should be done about it...
And I wont play with random 125 because on my HW and monitor, the game is choppy when turning + mousefeeling is different (like with prerender images 3-5 and it feels like the movement was filtered like hell)... And 100/76 is even much worse:X
I'm not against forcing fps to lower values, but since with 166 fps theres almost no difference I dont see a reason to force it IN 43 125... just force it IN 43 166 :).
But there is a bug in ET and the only practical way to fix it is to force maxfps in 40 125. The only other solution would be reya1p, the only active ETpro coder, changing way spread works, basicly changing the way ET / RTCW feel. Afaik it would need a patch, which is the last thing you will ever see in ET.
With 125fps abusing would still be possible, but a lot more difficult. Besides, with dualcores performance anyone could easily get to 166fps even 200fps.
Don't know if it's ET engine related and that it would be the same on every hardware managing those fps of if it's feeling that way only at specific hardware setup...
Well... I could play at 125 fps, but as I've said it's kinda choppy and mousemovement is fucked up and together, it makes the game hell of a harder to play when you can't aim properly and when it's not smooth.
So when talking about those couples of fps - 333/166, 200/100, 125/76 there might be a chance that 83 fps would feel like 166... gonna tst it:D
so you get like max 70hz with that tft? then how come you feel any difference between 125 and 166 fps
sorry if im a n00b
meaning you are cheating 41/125 = 32,8 %
btw. brb adjusting mouse to ps/2
what am i doing wrong :d

but im not sure if i should mess around with these kind of settings
i mean, you cant really gain THAT much fps with cfg tweaking can you?
rtcw has had forced fps 43-125 since another bug in the engine.
-> Pure aim :X.
no wonder why it started to feel weird after i bought my laptop . my old PC was little bit better in ET than my laptop right now (radar timedemo 190 vs 150) and i cant get very stable 125 or up . and with laptop aim seems to be less accurate ...
