Speed / Quality Config Optimizations

by **James S** » Dec 14, 2002 @ 4:54am

Post any autoexec.cfg optimizations you have here. Here is what I used with PocketQuake, makes it run really fast. Comments/description after the double-slash.

r_maxparticles "0" //maximum onscreen explosion particles
d_mipcap "4" //sets a maximum quality for all textures, close or far (0=high, 4=low quality)
set d_mipscale "4" //maximum scaled quality of distant textures (0=high, 4=low quality)precache "1"//loads sounds before map starts to eliminate ingame pauses
r_drawviewmodel "0" //doesn't draw your gun
r_maxsurfs "400" //limits rendered surfaces
r_maxedges "1600" //limits max edges rendered, maxsurfs*4=maxedges

"precache" seems to be a 1/0 setting as when the command is issued it reports back as 1 for me...

Thank you, my post has been modified to reflect this.

precache is 1 by default

my current autoexec(a slightly modified 999 config file)

cl_bob "0"
cl_bobup "0"
d_mipcap "1"
d_mipscale "1"
r_waterwarp "0"
r_maxparticles "0"
crosshair "1"
fov "70"
loadas8bit "1"
m_filter "1"
r_drawviewmodel "0"
r_maxedges "1000"
r_maxsurfs "400"
viewsize "90.000000"

i get 14.7 fps on my asus a600 with it.
to lower the mipcap and mipscale values has almost no effect.

how much fps do you get @moose?
is there a forum how to make the pak file smaller?
there are many possibilities and i think you also can get more fps when you are using a smaller pak file!

by **James S** » Dec 28, 2002 @ 2:22am

PAK file size has nothing to do with the in game frames per second.

by **chrissikurz@web.de** » Dec 28, 2002 @ 4:02am

and how much fps do youget?

I have not had PocketQuake installed on my PPC for a while. I cannot give you benchmark using that config file.

That is for you to run on your own device and to determine how much faster YOUR device is, as framerate is different on every device.

hmmm.. anyone have a config for sh3 processers? I wanna see how well I can get this running on my old jornada. Btw tried mooses config on my jornada and it didnt help much

Don't expect huge increases in speed, like a sudden jump to 15 FPS. It's not gonna happen. I remember gaining less than 1 FPS.

So in short, there aren't any Jornada, iPAQ, Casio specific optimisations.

This is why we created custom maps, to speed up the game a bit.

by **Mike Bannick** » Dec 30, 2002 @ 4:34pm

lol I know the jornada wouldnt perform to great even if it were optimized

Just seeing if anyone tried

For those who did the copy and paste from Mali's setting's, there was something left off. d_mipcap "4", that brought my score up to 14.4 fps. Now it will make the game look ugly, but it does speed it up.

Added set d_mipscale, and I dropped a few fps.. So that is out for me!
