I'm not as shit at Q3 as i thought

[ShockingAlberto]

This is actually several months old, however found it just now whilst clearing out screenies, and felt proud


(Game is Threewave CaptureStrike)

 

[old.Turath]

Good for you

 

[monster.]

heh I have'nt seen Quake 3 in that much detail for ages.

Hurray for picmip 4

 

[[q3p]Cyrus]

Yer - me too - picmip 5

Cheers
Cyrus

<--Picmip 0 & lightmap.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

What kind of hardware and speeds do you picmappers get?

I think i have picmap 1. I used to play at 960x728 or whatever it is(screenshot's at that), but i switched down to 800x600, and i now get just under 60fps

I do like to have detail though - Might as well play QW if you're gonna have it all ugly

I have a tnt2 btw

Listen to sar he speaks teh truth. ! Make it look as nice as your pc will allow with a reasonable fps.
Mine I run at 125fps with lightmap etc

 

[Sar]

These are my playing gfx:

Capped at 125, which it never wavers from about 95% of the time.

Hardware:

P4-1.9
64Mb GF3 (28.32 Dets)
512Mb RDRam
SBLive! Value
100Gbs hdd

Sar you lucky git .

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Picmip 6, lightmap 1024*.

 

[Sar]

Heh, if I take my FPS cap off my fps counter sits at about 190 in the first pic, and 220 in the second.

Try these too ......

set r_textureMode "GL_NEAREST"

(nearest interpolation filtering)

"GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP"

(nearest interpolation filtering with mipmapping)

"GL_LINEAR"

(linear interpolation filtering)

"GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST"

(linear interpolation filtering with nearest (bilinear) mipmapping)

"GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR"

(linear interpolation filtering with linear (trilinear) mipmapping)

some of these can get u some serious fps

I was shit at Quake3, so I stopped playing it. I played CS for about 10 months, had a go at Quake and killed everything in site.

I find that there is too much in the way with the lightmap on. I react faster with less detail on screen.

Less detail makes it easier to spot enemies especially with bright yellow cpm skins

Only candy I allow is nomip 2, which gives a nice clean lightning gun affect.

With my geforce 3 (which is currently being replaced :/ ) I get a constant 125, which I cap at.

 

[throdgrain]

Mine makes 205 fps avarage in demo whatever its called now, so my 125 is actually quite conservative.
