Of course not you dullard

Try adding some timenudge to balance out the vertexlight.

Yeah thats right. I also heard it kinda aims for you, making you hit atleast equally hard as Z4muZ's little brother in q3, who hit harder than toxjq or something.

I laughed ;D

heard it kinda aims for you

lol'd

use lightbitmap, it will also makes you lighter and you can jump higher!

you might wanna check cg_placebo, it needs resetting after any cvar change

It could make the game smoother if you have low unstable FPS dynamic and vertex light were 2 of the biggest FPS commands back in q3a.

the change in visuals affects how efficiently your mind and fingers deal with movement and gaining speed

Tasty! ;)

vertexLight 1 makes the game motion 'feel' slower, perhaps because there is less detail.

Some people like this (I tend to), others don't. It's personal preference really.

It does not actually affect movement speed, just the way that you respond to it.

It is similar to the way that picmip 0 and high fov feels more 'speedy' than picmip 10 and low fov.

Thanks for the great answer, I figured it was probably a placebo effect.

wait, so you weren't actually measuring this with the speedometer?

I was. I know I am (at the moment) slower with vertexlight 1. I think it's because the game looks differently, which makes my strafe jumps end up a little out of sync.

I simply wanted to make sure there isn't an obscure bug that prevents vertexlight 1 clients from ever being as fast as vertexlight 0 clients. I now know I can use vertexlight 1 and I'll get used to strafejumping with this setting eventually.

I guess "placebo" wasn't the right word, my english is pretty shitty.

Ya it's not really a placebo, it's a perception issue.

It still could be; with vertex 0 he had the expectation of going faster which made him perform better.

change crosshair -> mind blown

Less references, less feeling of estimation of the speed.

the model doom can strafe faster than tankJR

Bones is definitely the fastest, despite his lack of muscles, sinew and blood.

Anarki and Slash have to be the fastest. Hover board/skates=no ground friction. Combine either of those with that frictionless mouse for the ultimate experience.

That's true... using them in Race should be considered cheating.

but how do I do backflips???

You don't. It's just a model animation.

Baited.

Thanks. Do you play q2? How throw red rope???

Grrrrr! ;)

If it was up to me I'd have black and white graphics with hard black lines outlining all the edges. Just the absolute bare necessities to be able to navigate the architecture. Everything else is just useless clutter that the (unconscious) mind has to filter out.

or you could look at it as reference for depth perception.
