Calamity CSS Performance & Function Config

[Calamity Gundam]

I have created a neat little autoexec config file. It allows added functions such as:


Changing crosshair color + size on the fly
Buy binds and configured weapons packs (purchase multiple items with a single keystroke)
Tweaked video settings - most machines should get an FPS boost
Network setting customized to work better with the NR server than default settings


Download the config (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VSYOJ7YL)

The file contains the config, a Word 2003 guide, a PDF guide (same as the Word 2003 Guide), and easy to follow instructions.

I would appreciate any and all feedback. Feel free to give the config a try. You may just like it.


NOTE: If the config makes use of a key that you normally use, you will need to change the key to another key that the config is not using.
Current Version: 1.1 Sept 7, 2007

w/ regards to the autoexec
r_ and cl_ commands should be separated and defined by purpose,
props commands are zBlocked last time I tried to edit them and have very little to do with the CPU,
CPU commands are ss2 and mmx and 3dnow,
key placement for buy binds seems awkward, but that's probably just because I'm so used to using my numpad for everything except nightvision and scouts,
the most important thing I noticed was that you had multiple crosshair presets on multiple buttons,
if you are changing one set of related values, always put them on one button and have them cycle through the pre-sets.
alias command option1
alias option1 "setting; alias command option2"
alias option2 "setting; alias command option3"
alias option3 "setting; alias command option1"

: ) a good first shot though.

I actually made my own autoexec back in the day, it had optimizations from casey's config and I bound pretty much every key to something useful, I might go find it on my old clan forums where I posted it. Or maybe give this a try idk, sounds like most of the stuff I already had !

I had alot of free time you see

The only question I have is how would you change the crosshair color in console, for instance, I know you have the red, yellow blue and green crosshairs, but they arent dark enough in certain areas...
Im not to sure on how to make configs or what not, but how would I beable to make one where I can change my crosshair color to and from a dark blue, to or from a white, or lighter blue, I would really appreciate it.

You can just make an alias script for crosshair color toggle. :p

If I have time later tonight I'll post it up for you, or you can just google that "crosshair toggle" for CSS and you should find some hits.

OMG a necro from last year, ftl!

Heres a question, I used to get about 15-25 fps on NR, and now its at about 25, and same with all my other servers I used to play on, I was wondering how I could lower them fps, and possibly if your config would help bring it down to atleast 30, and I went by your config and didnt see where to download it... suggestions?

(Yes, yes I do have Down syndrome)

[WiseGuy]

lol what ? are you trying to lower your ping ... ?

if i was used to 15-25 fps and now im getting a solid 25 id be happy.

[mac10]

I meant a solid 50 lol...all my pings doubled...
I dont know if it was graphic card settings I changed, but Im pretty sure that deals with fps.
