cl_footsteps "0"

I thought footsteps was footsteps -will that turn off only mine?

[UUD-40]

It will turn off all footstep sounds. 

I just tried it in the railz server... I didn't hear any footsteps. 

[haunted]

I deleted 8 GB of demos on my old computer last summer hahaha

can we retitle this thread

Four things

haha I know right! Maybe 5 things! Everyone has been really helpful, I realy appreciate it! I tried the gl settings and it's working perfect on dark maps. Now I know why seemingly everyone wasn't just getting lucky shots into the dark hehe.

So I guess when people talk about listening for footsteps to hear where their opponent is, they must be standing still and listening, since your own footsteps kinda drowns out everything else.

You can also bind a key (I use SHIFT) to +speed, so that you 'walk' instead of 'run' while the key is held down.  So you can still move, but don't produce footstep sounds for the most part.  Good for listening while sneaking around.

that would be nice wouldn't it, but I don't think it's really possible.. not straight .dm2 demos anyway, I suppose if you converted a demo to a .avi and compressed it, uploaded and embedded it'd work like that, but lots of hassle :\

Ok, I'll make this 6 things:
Why does cl_run not work with r1q2 anymore?  I'm using the newest version. 


EDIT:
The only way I can move in silence is by running against the wall.

Then again you have to go through the whole hassle of making sure all viewers of a demo have the actual map. Also they have to be on their home system with quake actually installed. I think it'd be cool to watch demo's when elsewhere, maybe school, work( hehe yes the person shoudl just focus on their homework or their job hehe)

Maybe play around with this mod I just found. http://prox.rulecity.com/

DEMO TO AVI/MPG - Convert any .dm2 to a movie clip!
AUTO DEMO RECORD - No more 'I wish I was recording a demo!' moments.

I've gotten the autorecord to work, very cool. Auto splits the maps to. HAven't gotten the converter to work tho. JUST downloaded it like 6min ago

I converted a short demo with aprq2,  but MAN OH MAN does it make them HUGE!
takes some messing around with,  and a good pc to do it.

30 frames per sec = a 4gig avi!

bullz has had alot of success with it though,  maybe drop him a line.

but for viewing demos online,  demoplay is the best.  Just click on it, and open.
That doesnt help for school or anything though

is there a way to turn my footsteps off so I can't hear them, only others? Maybe a way to make opponents footsteps sound louder? It's been so long i can't remember

the footsteps are a generic sound, you can only switch them on and off.. ( 0/1 )  cause your footsteps are the same sound as your opponents.

[[BTF]Gator]

If you are having trouble with footstep sounds, i could only imagine you are using speakers instead of headphones.  Headphones are a must for q2 as speakers just dont give any location, just the sounds.  Or atleast that is how my head reacts to what is produced out of both.
