what do you mean by cool? i have a good config file, but i don't know if it has any settings for ADSL, which i do have, but i never made any changes in it just because of the connection, from when I had a highspeed access (un-ADSL or DSL) type. what would one change? maybe i AM going to learn something here after all!:twak: :twak:

/seta rate 10000
/seta snaps 20
/seta cl_maxpackets 60

cl_maxpackets and com_maxfps have a relationship worth reading about in the UCGuide, which will pretty much explain all the q3 settings for adsl, or otherwise.

UCGuide

Went to UCGuide what a great site Tx m8 very helpful.
Tried the timedemo. Avg., ping befor tweaking 62.4 now avg 87.6 not a bad increase. The demo they include is very intence so is 87.6 good or should it be better.

It really depends on your system tbh mate.
Most people really serious about q3 (ya know, play in the leagues, spend far too long playing it, kinda thing) try to tweak their graphics to at least reach the magic '125' average frames per second. Getting about 140 for example means you could cap your fps at 'com_maxfps 125', a level at which the feel of the game, particularly in terms of 'ease of jumping', should be a lot better. There's some quite technical stuff on this in this section of the guide.
The bottom line of it all really is the last part .......

So, when testing values for com_maxfps, these are the only numbers it really makes sense to try:

200
166
142
125
111
100
90
83
76
71
66
62
58
55
52
50
47
45
43
40-41
37-38
20-35


At 87.6 average fps, you might like to do

/seta com_maxfps 76

/seta cl_maxpackets 38

or

/seta cl_maxpackets 76

Obviously you could tweak some more and try and reach an average 95-100 and then try

/seta com_maxfps 83

/seta cl_maxpackets 42

or

/seta cl_maxpackets 83

It all gets a bit 'anorachy' at this point though ..... and I think most people get on fine with 'ball park' values without noticing any problems.

those UC demos are awesome arnt they? on the regular demo (67?or whatever its called now:) ) i get 115 fps avarage with most stuff on and at 1024-768.(you know what a effects tart i am).
but in them uc demos i can avarage like 60 fps.omg!i suppose if i was super-serious i'd dumb it down a bit,but the good thing about q3 for me is the way it looks so ill put up with it :)

Yer, I get something like 192fps @ 1024*768 with gfx on extra high quality (32bit, lightmap, trilinear filtering, picmip 0 etc etc...)
