Need help, cant jump like I used to
« on: January 09, 2010, 12:30:31 AM »
OK, I changed a few settings and changed to the R1gl, and now i can not hit some of my jumps. I attached a pik with numbers on it to help explain what I am talking about. I freaking did not get the name of the map but I am sure yall will know what one it is. OK The arrow #1 is where I am trying to go, up on top there,,, it's just a double jump off that little square,,,, to explain map, the arrow marked #2 goes down the steps and straight across in front of you, you have to duck to get Armor or back pack is there sometimes. Arrow #3 takes you to screen where there is an elevator  don't use to go down a level, you just fall down a level, there is 2 grenade fill ups at the right side of elevator, ride elevator up go right and there is a portal, also an entry portal from another screen. Man I hope I am making sense. Finally, I cant jump up there no more, I thought it was just me, but I have noticed on other maps where I used to jump, I cant get the jump no more. I switched back to the quake2.exe but I am afraid that I have changed my autoexec.cfg file to compensate for my video settings that I do not know what changed. Any help needed please!

you can back up your cfg or making it read only as not to mess them up while trying to experiment at things..

Like FuckingSheep ( :ohlord:) said, make sure you have a high frame rate when you play, it makes jump tricks easier to pull off...

Changed video card or monitor lately?

What do you get when you do a timerefresh?

I have to set   gl_swapinterval 0    to do some jumps

Is this the cl_maxfps That Fu**in*sheep was talking about, or something else. Yes I had two vidio cards SLI and one went out, and I am back two one for a bit. I have tried different senarios with the maxfps, swapinterval, and several others, I have change so much, I might never get it back :bigcry:. But I have taken precautions or the next go around of geekin and tweekin,,, "READ ONLY FILE" :bravo:
I will try your tips yall and see whats up,,, Thanks again!

set cl_maxfps 100
set cl_async 0 (only if you run r1q2)

(anyway it's best to do any specific tweaking in an autoexec.cfg instead of your config.cfg, as the config can be reset by acident and it also won't keep settings that aren't in there originally.) Oh by the way, that map is jail5 :)

NEVER change your config.cfg....

Not sure that anything bad can happen,  but it says not to change it.


Forgot about async, another crucial setting

OK, Last question then I am done tweaking and take what I get,,,, When we install Quake 2, there is no "Autoexec.cfg" only a "Config.cfg" file right? So if I wanted to start all over, I would just need my back up of the "Config.cfg" put it in the "Baseq2" folder and remove the "Autoexec.cfg" file and start over??? Am I right? Some one said that the "config.cfg" file would not keep any changes rendered by the "Autoexec.cfg" file.  I think this is right. :frustration: I use joystick and my "Joy.cfg" has most of my binds for weapons and such, it never changes, unless I change one of my smart mouth binds or something! :bananaw00t:
Mainly, it is just the video and appearance, we all want more speed!!! I just want it to be smooth! :bigshades:
Well I will wait before destroying anything else lololol,,, till I hear from someone on this. Again, sorry for being a thousand questions! :sorry:

If you delete the config.cfg,  q2 will generate a new one with everything default.

If you eventually get the settings you want, make your config file "read-only". Nothing will change it afterwards unless you go into your directory, remove the read-only, modify the file, and then put the R-O back on to lock it. You don't have to do this to your autoconfig. It remains the same and is not modified in-game.

Jumps aren't easier on higher FPS, some just cant be done without FPS changes. This however is not an issue here, when jumps are hard/not sticking, set cl_maxfps 90 and make sure that sync every frame is forced off in your graphics card options, and that the setting for sync every frame is 0 in q2 config. other than that, I have no idea.
