slow weapons change

[b0yce]

for a while now certain weapons are taking half a year to change to. it changes to the gl quick but as for rl ssg ect, its taking way too long to change weapon. any thoughts?

P.S  it is during periods where i am experiencing no lag at all, or PL


Also are there any settings in quake2 i can change to increase its performance, like any gl settings ect?

 Try switching weapons before your done using the one in hand. For example you can use chaingun and switch weapons while still firing chain. Soon as you let go your weapon will change. I dont know of any settings that allow your weapons to switch faster, and I have never heard anything about slow weapon changes other then lagg/ping related.

weapon switch times are all the same

quake2 has very slow weapon switch by default, you might be used to sped up weapon switch times

the only difference in weapon switch times per weapon is that you have to wait for the weapon to reload before the switch time will start... so if you just fired a rail, you have to wait for the weapon to reload before the switch time starts, and that would take longer than if you were just shooting some one with chaingun... but the actual switch time is all the same

Its mod command

 OPENTDM   =  vote switchmode <normal/fast/faster/insane/extreme>

When are we gonna give him his own section of the forums titled "Question of the Day"?

If you are looking for more consistent performance turn off dynamic lighting, damage flash, water haze, and shadows.

If you use the laser(xania) style rail trails in r1q2, you could also turn off particles for some fps savings.

none of them will make your weapon switch/reload any faster tho, they'll just make what you are seeing a good bit smoother.

haha not a bad idea focor

water haze.

[Whirlingdervish]

water haze.

what is the command for that?

the gl_polyblend cvar can be set to 0 or 1

0 for turning the haze effect off.
