Perfect Config?

[Oxo]

hi everyone,

Basicially, im looking to find out how you can make your CS:S config as perfect as possible for your current setup, im not sure how many people are in the same boat as me, but when it comes to rates and cmdrates etc etc, im lost, so does anyone no of a website that explains it, or could someone give me a quick summery of what the most important ones are to get right and how you work them out.

Thankyou in advance

It all really comes down to what kind of connection you've got, your ping on that connection and what server you are playing on.

In my config i have a key assigned to switch between my public rates and my match server rates.

Public

cl_cmdrate = 66

cl_updaterate 66

rate 25000

fps_max 66

Server

cl_cmdrate = 80

cl_updaterate = 80

rate 25000

fps_max 80

The reason why i set my fps to the server rates is that i find it gives much smoother game play (rather than a constantly changing fps), and also gives you a better idea of what the server is seeing.

I don't set all the way up to 100 on match servers, as the difference between playing on 66 tickrate public servers and 100 tickrate match servers is pretty big, so i minimise the effect by only going up to 80.

Also keep cmdrate and update rate the same, as otherwise people get shirty when they see that you are setitng your rates to receive more data from the server than you are sending (effectively making it slightly harder for ppl to register shots on you).

@cobra, 20000 should be fine for your connection. TBH i havn't found much/any difference between 20000 and 25000 but i keep it higher just because i can really :/

@kemp ezpz fella, i'll knock u up a script tonight.

Adding to the above, don't forget that important settings are interp and interpolate.

Firstly I'd add the following lines to your Steam command line (-noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -heapsize 1048576 -freq 100)

Then my cfg is below:

// [Ins] Source Config

// _Set netcode settings_

// _adjusts hitboxes and netcode settings for optimal registration_

name [Ins]

zoom_sensitivity_ratio 0.75

sensitivity 1

cl_cmdbackup 2

cl_cmdrate 80

cl_updaterate 80

cl_interp 0.01

cl_interpolate 1

cl_lagcomp_errorcheck 1

cl_lagcompensation 1

cl_smooth 1

rate 25000

net_maxfragments “1280″

cl_resend “6″

cl_timeout “30″

cl_pred_optimize “2″

fps_max 102

cl_downloadfilter “nosounds”

cl_phys_props_enable “0″

cl_phys_props_max “0″

jpeg_quality 100

showhitlocation 1

cl_c4dynamiclight 1

 

[Oxo]

so would i just copy them to my config, or do i need to search through and swap them.

plus, the parts about hitboxes, how do i install them into the config, just a simple copy and paste?

cheers for the info tho mate

 

[llwyd]

you have smooth on? (ins) i have it off because i was getting bloodsplats and stuff without hits. would any of the stuff in your config need to be adjusted for a slower connection?

 

[Oxo]

me?

 

[[Ins]]

Yep I have smooth on because I've amended my interpolate settings (it’s actually a very important command and when used with the other commands as above, makes your reg very good indeed!!).

Cobra, do you have an autoexec.cfg?

If not, create one in notepad and paste my cfg in. Then in your config.cfg, I'd add this line at the bottom:

Exec autoexec.cfg

When you go into the game, it should have loaded but you can check this by typing exec autoexec.cfg in the console.

If you apply my config changes to your config.cfg, you would lose most of them when logging in and out of servers because by default, it's not read only. It's much easier to create a autoexec.cfg in your cstrike folder and just execute it when you're in the game (or put a line in your config so it does it for you).

Hope this helps!

I'm on a 1mb connection but those cfg settings were used previously on a 512k connection.

As long as you have broadband, those settings will be fine

 

[Oxo]

okies thanks for you help mate, ill paste ur stuf into my cfg and see if it all works......thanks again

 

[llwyd]

aw awesome-o, you mind explaining what -noforcemparms, -noforcemaccel, -noforcemspd and -freq 100 do?

 

[Oxo]

okies ive pasted the config setup into mine, i have my config as read only, and i presumed when cs:s loaded it loaded the config?

but i put in Exec autoexec.cfg so it should load from startup ye?
