QUOTE(GoochTyke @ Apr 3 2008, 02:32 PM)  i just tried some setting changes ,had a game and im still shit:( If you make changes to the latency compensator etc., it will adjust where the hitboxes are. This in itself may take some getting used to

shame on you! portal is probably the best thing in the box of orangeness!
If you've got a logical or mathematical mind then you'll probably like it. If you're more creative you'll probably find it boring. I'm a nerd... I loved it

yo gooch, heres what i have:
SettingsManager.boolSet GSClPunkBuster 1 SettingsManager.floatSet GSDefaultLatencyCompensation 0.030000 // was going to change this to 25 as my ping usually is fairly low, but a i gree with monkey that 30's a good medium SettingsManager.boolSet GSExtrapolateFrame 0 SettingsManager.U32Set GSExtrapolationTime 550 // just got a new quadcore/8gb ram, and my net connections pretty good so i think this is safe SettingsManager.U32Set GSInterpolationTime 40 // 40 seemed like a good start for me, and has been fine, will probs drop this to 35 to see if theres any difference, which i doubt SettingsManager.U32Set GSPerfLogAtPlayerCount 30 SettingsManager.stringSet GSPlayerName "=SM= Magik5" SettingsManager.boolSet GSShowNetGraph 0 SettingsManager.boolSet GSUseObjectCache 1 overall though, i have noticed im more accurate @ moving targets over distances, and ive yet to be shot without seeing someone appear first... /awaits monkey to come on server to test theory -------------------- |

QUOTE I'm saying changing the latency compensation is straightforward: set the figure to the ping you get on average. This started to sound so good for me as I live in England and my clan is based in the USA. Our server is based in Chicago which gives me an average ping of approx 125-135. Does this mean altering the settings won't make any difference for me? |

yeah, it should help a bit. The default setting is 100ms so the improvement of 25-35ms isn't too great but it may be worth it.
Since you'll probably play a mix of UK (20-40ms?) and US (125-135ms?) servers rather than changing the config files each time you can do this as a console command. In game, bring up the console (usually the ~ or ` key) and type in: "SettingsManager.floatSet GSDefaultLatencyCompensation 0.130" (without the " , the 0.130 part is 130ms ping, can change this to 0.040 for 40 ms ping)That way you can adjust it each time you go on a server with different pings. Also bear in mind changes can take a while getting used to.. cheers, Monkey -------------------- |

 EDIT: Just put spaces in relevant places and it then showed the number 1 after my prompt. Does this mean it has worked? How will I know? |

well that was just an option since you probably vary between two different pings (130ms and 30ms) - you can set whatever you usuall play at in the settings file mentioned above. e.g. set it to 130ms if you mainly play on US servers, then if you decide to play a couple of rounds on a UK server you can set the thing in-game using the command console.

so where exactly do the hitboxes change to? if you were to lower the latency say from 100 to 50? i know there are other factors, but as a generality is there a particular place to point and click, instead of were you usually would?

Well I played a few rounds last night after altering the settings to 0.140 and I think it made a slight difference, either that or I just had three lucky rounds taking top spot each time...
