CVARs help please

I did a search for CVAR topics and posts and none showed up. If this belongs somewhere else then just yell at me and I will re-post there.
Anyway, I heard some people talking about their CVARs the other night and I think I might have crappy ones.
Is there a place to get the "uber-ultimate" CVAR setup?? Or if someone is generous and has an awesome one and wants to post it that would be awesome too.
Thanks in advance,

Here are some basics:

seta g_advancedHud "1" //draws the advanced hud
seta g_keepFireTeamList "1" // Enable fire team menu

seta m_smooth "1" // No smoothing = Faster gameplay response
seta com_fixedTic "1" // No more laggy mouse in menu.

seta com_allowconsole "1" //Allows ~ for console
seta g_fov "105" //increases field of view from default 90 to 105

Hi....ummm i have no ideal what you wrote senilityiscool2 but i like
seta m_smooth "1" // No smoothing = Faster gameplay response, how do i put this in my computer.

Thanks...

List of every ETQW cvar:

http://www.rtcwmap.de/uploads/etqw/cvars.html

To find them in the game you'll need to open the console (Crtl + Alt + ~ or just ~ if you've enabled it with com_allowconsole 1) and type either of the following below:

Com_, net_, g_, r_, m_, ui_, image_, pm_

So if you want to look up a com_ cvar you'd open the console and type com_ followed by pressing the tab key. That will then bring up every com_ cvar available.

To find the current cvar value just type the cvar in the console. You can then change values how you see fit.

Are you currently using an autoexec file?

It is 1 by default.

To get the full list of cvars, open the console in the game (cntl-alt-~) and type htmlCVars
creates an html file called cvars.html in your C:\Documents and Settings\your home folder\My Documents\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\base

It's the same thing as that website

thanks so much everybody!!
now i just need to play with those.
didn't even know about the htmlcvars.
VERY useful!!

this is most of the meat of my controls. yes, i now the autoexec is there, and if i remove it then my client prediction tweaks go with it. too lazy to sort it out. i'm left handed so "3" is easy to tap to get to the primary weapon. This is not ideal for sniping.

Sorry for the bump but if you guys want/need an autoexec, I can send you mine.

post away, cant say no to diversity.

Post away, always interesting to see how you guys config your game.

Definitely going to have to take a minute to look through that later and see what all you've got going on there.

Had a co-worker friend try H4rdc0re's cvars, he liked it a lot. He could actually hit people and felt useful, though he said it looked like Quake 1. Maybe he will start playing it more now.

I like it to still look pretty

seta net_clientprediction "-28" //Default 20 -> would advise lower for better hit detection

jeepers.. i keep mine at 5..

mike-greene found negative didn't really help, kept mine at zero

I played with hardcore's yesterday. a lot of the finer details are similar to what I already use, but i keep my graphics cranked and not as bright.

The big key was the client prediction. in the -20 area, within 10 minutes i had a "you ran through a wall" remark.

I was there for that. I think it was Volcano?

I found that my life is a lot happier if I leave my client prediction and field of view the hell alone. Tweaking ech of them is supposed to be beneficial but as soon as I do I suddenly can't win a firefight with anyone.

you were alpha. I talked to superdeformed too.

I found that BH has a cap, and I was banned fro a few minutes because I was using -25 at the time. well, that's what the ban reason said.

Over the last 2 days of using -20+, i found a few things
1. no one is looking at me when i kill them
2. I have a 'jump' on people when they dont expect me
3. I have a lot of red on the bottom part of my lagometer
4. I think i'm cheating
5. my kills are not much higher, but I do feel more of a 'zen' when shooting
6. this could all be a plecibo affect
6. I had to make sure no one at all was using any bandwidth within my LAN.

I dont want to digress from the topic of the thread. This is one point that was found, not as an exploit or flaw, but more of an attention to detail. I have comp friends that have triggers to kill wav sounds and adjust brightness on the fly. you're given a blank canvas and 3 colours of paint, do what you must. I'm not bashing anyone.

Lowering your graphics settings probably play just as big of a role too, so you don't get graphical lag. Your mileage may very.

I dont know if you guys go to/check the new community forums (www,splashdamage.com)but there is a thread about how to play like comp players. It was by one of my good Euro buddies(R3fl3x aka Samurai.). The config I am using is his. Here is a vid of his config in the "works". Enjoy
