Don’t run with a scissors.Turn off the “Tips of the Day” in MS Word.- Use “pushlatency -150″ if your ping is over 150 in QuakeWorld.
- Use “crosshair 2″ in QuakeWorld or get the Newbie Targetting System Pro for Quake from the Quake Marines home page. Taking this a step further, open your c:\quake\qw\skins\base.pcx up in Paint Shop Pro and paint a big red square on the guy’s chest - makes targetting that little bit easier (who, me, cheat?!). If you really want to cheat, extract the wizard.mdl from your id1pak0.pak and save it as eyes.mdl in id1pak2.pak using QuArK or something similar (picked this one up from the boyz in UL). I don’t use this “protection against invisibility” myself.
- Try turning up both fov and sensitivity as high as you can comfortably. I have “fov 110″ and “sensitivity 20″, Trinity use “fov 130″ which feels like flying.
- Bind common messages to keys - don’t waste time typing them in and dying (e.g. bind f4 “say gurgle”).
- Type “noskins 1″ if you don’t want to dl or see all those crappy skins in QuakeWorld. Type “noskins 2″ if you want to see the skins you already have, but don’t want to dl any more new ones.
- Try and use QView to connect to Quake/QuakeWorld/Quake 2 servers, not GameSpy - it’s free, and once you get the hang of it, pretty cool too.
- Tired of waiting through those boring Quake demos? Stick this in your config and press f9 to fly through them.
alias +fastforward "host_framerate 0.8; echo Fast forwarding..."
alias -fastforward "host_framerate 0.0"
bind f9 +fastforward
