What is the best q3config.cfg for a G5 ?

Post by **Kali** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 9:05 pm

I just got a new G5 Dual 2.0 GHz with ATI X850XT video card. I have a fast connection to the internet, and I want to play Quake3 in the best, very high quality mode, with all "bells and whistles". The monitor is Apple's 20" LCD. I want Quake to play at the highest resolution for this monitor (1680 X 1050). Can you post the best q3config.cfg file which could do the job ?

Thanks.

Start Q3, go to the settings, max them all out, and you're set. Custom configuration should be increasing com_hunkmegs to 256 or so to allot more memory to Q3 and do the custom aspect ratio thing to suit your monitor's resolution.

Keep in mine.. custom aspect ratio also changes your X / Y mouse tracking. So you'll get the wide screen, but also a good chance of getting a weird tracking mouse.

In your q3config.cfg change seta r_mode to seta r_mode "-1"
then you can have whatever resolution you want by changing
seta r_customheight ""
seta r_customwidth ""
EDIT:oh I see this has already been answered.

If you want, give these configs a go:

http://www.planetquake3.net/tweak/tweaked_configs.html

http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Quake3/FPS_visuals.html

Both of these pages offer you 'high quality configs'. Those 2 pages should have the same (or at least near same) in terms of quality.

Put one of them in baseq3, and if you like it, then go into the menu and alter the sensitivity and controls to your tastes.

Also, in your graphics cards control panel, turn everything on high, such as anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering.

And voila!
