Please help, mouse and fire not working to my tastes

[R-66Y]

Well if it's not obvious yet, I'm a quake noob. Anyways on quake 3 when I fire the gun whatever it may be, rocket, machine, lightning, continues to fire even once I let off the mouse button. And it keeps firing until I retap the mouse button........what gives? is there a way to turn off this auto-fire? I'd rather fire when I press the button, not be constantly shooting. This especially sucks when using a rocket, because it will fire at a wall 2 feet in front of me and then I suicide. Very annoying.

I don't think it's yer game, I think it's yer mouse. Same thing happened to me once, and everyone thought I was a terrible player. It hurt, ya know? Try a different one.

You probably have a 500 or 1000 Hz mouse, basic Quake 3 can't handle that sample rate so misses commands like -attack. Either use 250 Hz or less or use this alternative Quake3.exe that can handle up to 1000 Hz (works with the CPMA mod only).
