Kvak III

hi,

to all the newbies trying out quake atm here's some nice stuff i found out:

use ioquake: http://ioquake3.org/
ioquake is a quake3 client that doesn't have any pb support and never will. bb pb lag! Keep your old quake in case you have to play on punkbuster servers. I renamed the quake3.x86.exe to quake3.exe. Not sure if its needed, but i thought it would make it easier to get ASE working. Also, if you get a complain about default config missing: pak0.pk3 file is not in the baseQ3.

if you plan on learning to duel here are timings of the items:
armors 25 secs
health / ammo bubbles 30 secs
megahealth: 20 secs after it expired = player back to 100hp
weapons: 15 secs on 3a, 15 secs on aero, 5 secs on phrantic (usualy changed to 10 secs)

get the following commands into your config:
s_occfactor 0 (allows you to hear more)
cg_truelightning 0.75 (makes it much easier to aim with the shaft)
cg_altlightning 2 (better shaft beam)
cg_xerpclient 1 smoother, but hitboxes are a little behind
cg_xerpclient 0 hitboxes are always correct but everything feels a bit shaky

get a decent hud:
This is the one I am using atm: http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=user&mode=downloadcfg&id=451
Place hud file in quake3\cpma\hud
type the following into console:
ch_file ic
reloadHUD
You could use the same commands to try out the various huds that came with cpma.
