i've been using these settings for many years now

cl_backspeed "200"
cl_forwardspeed "200"
cl_sidespeed "350"


and altough i've got a real good speedjumping action.. i feel like that values might be the answer to why i've been trying to do some tricks without sucess.. found it real hard to do shaft > tele on dm4 from the middle and really did it for the first time ( some two other times later ) yesterday, when i changed my forwadingspeed value up to a high generic value like 999 . . i know these settings are limited to 320 , right ? ... but well ... if i do use "200" or "320" i can't really notice any difference on speed.. are those relative commands or , i'll be actually slower if i do use a lower value ?

i just would like to know .. from you guys... specially those that can do a nice job in maps like Ztricks, way2ez, way2ez2.. wich is the best settings in order to get best / faster moviments ..

cya

what's the max on forwardspeed anyway?

as far as i know its normally limited to 320 on online servers

fateful, do you use +speed? if so, all your movementspeedvalues are doubled. maybe that's why you sense no difference

this comes up everytime the board dies and gets resurrected good thing i have it archived


NB: I believe Vic later proved that 508 wasn't the highest value as the rounding wasn't done until after the calculation had taken place so it still played a part in the ratio - i don't have the code to hand atm

i do use +speed... shouldn't I ?



thanx dude... gonna make some tests on those two values ... and see how it works out for me..

would like to see JSS config's though....

well i just set cl_forwardspeed 320 and cl_sidespeed 999 .... but still using +speed.. my cl_backspeed still 200... and if I do set -speed... i'll will never reach a higher value than than by pressing "+back" aside from that .... do + or - speed affect anything else ? is it slower for me to reach 320 by pressing forward when i'm -speed ? really can't notice that...

how many of you don't use it ?

i changed a while ago to side 508 / forward and back 320 and it felt quite better to bunnyhop, it seems that i came out with a smoother bunnyhop with those values, never used ultrahigh values like 99999 (and as tonik said, it doesnt matter, all sidespeed > 508 its = to 508)

about +speed or -speed settings: doesnt change anything for me... both settings came out with the same result

omg! just tried those settings and now i can do the rl > quad on dm2 easy and the lg > gl ledge on dm4! omg.

thanks for the nfo

"would like to see JSS config's though...."

doesnt JSS uses 72fps? and afaik one floats in the air more with less fps? incidently ive been using physfps 72 in ezquake for this reason ;p

"NB: I believe Vic later proved that 508 wasn't the highest value as the rounding wasn't done until after the calculation had taken place so it still played a part in the ratio - i don't have the code to hand atm"

reeeally? id love to see this proof ;D

my values are:
cl_forwardspeed 350
cl_backspeed 350
cl_sidespeed 508

id keep trying 320 for forward/backspeed but kept finding 350 more to my liking... *shrug* probably just personal preference..

on the contrary, less fps, less floating

Vic showed that there's a "feature" in cl_input.c where it will use half the *speed value for one frame after a movement button is pressed. The effect is very small at 72 fps; I don't think you'll ever notice the difference. You can try for yourself with a "blind test" using the $rand macro.

But it won't matter in a couple of weeks as today I committed a patch to ezQuake cvs that removes this 'feature', so starting from the next ezQ build there will actually be absolutely no difference 508 or > 508.

if you use side 320 and back/forward 508 without +speed then strafe running drops by ~50 speed units from 400~420 to 360~380
also i cant see a change in direction with +forward and +moveright going simultaneously, whatever values i try. so i think it may be something more subtle.
incidentally cl_forwardspeed 9999999 (or something) makes you go backward, what in the code causes this?
