What all should be in my AUTOEXEC.CFG? post suggestions plz

[sir_frags]

Alrightie, usually when I get a game I read and study it myself to figure things out, but this game has got to be an exception because it's like 7 years old and the vets are clearly changing it alot So I'm trying to get a crash course in some things that I know are important in my fps games. Here's what I got in my autoexec.cfg so far. What else should I put in it? Thank you for any help.

That looks pretty good. You got the most important thing down, which is the connection settings. The other popular thing amongst a lot of people is using low-quality gfx settings for the "pro gamer" type of play. But if you can run this game at a good frame rate as it is I wouldn't worry about it. Let me tell you, having played this game since 2000 no amount of console tweaking will make you a better player, you either gain that from experience or you never reach that plateau. But no matter what, just have fun with it.

1v1?

[D'Artagnan]

Maybe you could try
seta cg_fov 115

Truth. I've never reached that plateau but I have fun each and every time I play. Win or lose.

[Scourge]

Maybe you could try
seta cg_fov 115

Or maybe /cg_fov 110

[§ìgñå]

seta sv_master1 "master3.idsoftware.com"
seta sv_master2 "master0.gamespy.com"
seta sv_master3 "master.kali.net"
seta sv_master4 "clanservers.net"

those settings are only for dedicated servers, not clients. you dont need them.

any SV_ commands are server only.

seta cg_fov 115

Or maybe /cg_fov 110

or perhaps cg_fov 107

[Scourge]

109. Final offer.

[123kid]

isnt the field of view monitor specific , i have a 15'' monitor and play with 130 fov

[JB]

if the monitor is curved, sure.

[JB]

the only thing monitor dependant is the resolution. Which, for a 15" should probably be 1024x768 or maybe 1440x900 if its really new and high quality.
