Season 4 so far on Quakenation
|
Review of Season 4 so far from Bigfoot at Quakenation is available. Interesting comment here:
I also spoke to M][B-Jez who had this to say:
"EK always had a huge advantage over everyone else due to the fact they`re all on janet pinging stupidly low, and the division going the way it did when a number of the clans dropped out helped them i think. Nbd, Brother, dV and M][B are all sorta around the same mark, it`s a case of who wins inbetween those clans who takes the 4th place really, and to that extent, who actually practices :) RD are a good clan from what I`ve seen them play, they have more of a basis on skill rather than ping. I know I`m being harsh, but janet players are funny on modems. My bets between Vs and XPD for 3rd, the other clans below them will just fight it out between each other indefinitely, leaving RD and EK to sit jousting at the top."
Hmm. Cable modemmers from Belgium who actually ping better than Surg/Bob and I to Barrysworld and drop less packets? Sure, Janet is nice. But when the router from your LAN is completely saturated and you're dropping 5% of your packets, I'd rather play on cable. Ah well. I'd love to see M][B "we've not played RD yet and are going to be surprised when we are plasma flooded to fuck by 4 20-pingers" Jez play Blowfish on a modem on dm17 :)

Moving and stuff

Oh,
Because I was feeling crappy I slept most of the weekend, feel better for it now.
I also decided on Friday to move desks to give me a bit more room.

Network Tweak
|
Almost forgot about this one...
I have changed my cl_maxpackets from 100 to 30. My ping now drops to sub 10 for most of the time, especially in 1v1. Originally I had thought that the actual ping shown and the responsiveness weren't directly linked. I am not sure now, and I cant see any disadvantage of having maxpackets at 30. Well to tell the truth there is one disadvantage in that lpbs think that since your ping is lower than theirs you have the advantage. Although as has been discussed before, the differences between lpb pings is neglible anyway (within reason - like 20 pinger vs 40 pinger).

Config Stuff
|
Took most of the configs I had and went through them looking for things I liked. bl0key's had a few graphics settings, so I adjusted mine to match some of his settings.
In testing today it works quite well, although I am not sure about the limited number of division of curves... You can step inside walls which can be slightly confusing during the game.
I have noticed that transparent light effects are getting to be too bright now so I will have to limit that slightly.
Once I have settled on something I will upload and you can take a look for yourselves.

BWDML.
|
We have 3 matches left. XPD, VS, and FS.
FS should be a rampage, it has to be. XPD (old rivals) is coming up next week and RD have a default, so i thought we should play them in the hour before bwdml on the maps we would be going at xpd on.
Speaking of maps we are playing CPM4 and DM14. Get on a ffa server and learn dm14 rekun :)

EK defeat dV
|
Tonight in the closing stages of the bwq3dml ek took on french clan dV on mexx1 and dm8.
Mexx1 started well for us, we took solid control of the map although we met persistant resistance at the quad. It was imperative for us to increase our frag difference as much as possible to leave RD behind which led to a furious game. The game didnt all go our way with dV managing to get all 4 of their team into red armour in the later stages of the game causing djuhn to remark '4 enemies at ra..how the fuck' :). Practiced tactics on this pushed us to a comfortable win 176-39. wp dV.
DM8 saw us digging out our rusty clanwars-xpd tactics for this map and improving them slightly. Rekun being unable to communicate with anyone but blowfish led to us pairing : blow+rekun,bob+djuhn.
Good control of the rl and plasma with help actually coming when called for combined with nice quadwerk from djuhn led to a win of 188-38.
We now lead RD by 300 frags in the league.

Hmmmmf

Hrmmm, com_maxfps 114 and 125 both give 125 fps, but 125 has slightly better effects on movement. Still unsure about cg_predictitems :|

More shit
|
Well it comes around to tweaking my config again. The last month or so has seen my sensitivity reduce by a factor of four and several other things have had to change also. I have been making use of http://www.elitekillers.com/configs and taking the best bits from each.
I found a much better rocket jump script. The one I had been using before had problems with centering the view after. Anyway this one is :
seta +rj "set cl_pitchspeed 5000; +lookdown; wait; wait; wait; -lookdown; +moveup; +attack"
seta -rj "-attack; -moveup; cl_pitchspeed 140; centerview"
seta rj "vstr +rj; wait; wait; vstr -rj"
bind q "vstr rj"
This comes from Makaveli's config which is worth a look if you havent seen it. A slightly different way he has of dealing with sensitivity which seems to work for him.
