crap shaking :)

Postby BOWDOWN » Fri Oct 01, 2010 16:08

Well, i reisntalled my ET few days ago (first time since 4 years) and now i have this crap problem : my screen shake when i m hit or when there is explosions around (arty , nades etc ...)

I ve already changed all i know as settings on my cfg :

seta cg_rtcw "0.0"

all "bob" related settings even if they don t have a real impact on shaking problems :

seta cg_bobyaw "0.0"
seta cg_bobroll "0"
seta cg_bobpitch "0"
seta cg_bobup "0"
seta cg_runroll "0"
seta cg_runpitch "0"
seta cg_recoilPitch "0"

All settings related to "blood effects" :

seta cg_bloodFlash "0"
seta cg_showblood "0.0"
seta cg_bloodtime "0"
seta cg_bloodDamageBlend "0"

seta cg_impactvibration "0" (to disable screen shakes when there is explosions)

seta cg_drawdamage "0"
seta cg_damagekick "0.0" (settings from ETpub which allow you to enable/disable screen shakew when hit)
seta cg_fallkick "0.0"
seta cg_drawdamagekick "0.0"
seta cg_drawfallkick "0.0"
seta cg_brassTime "2500"

Also , did all updates for my video cards etc ...

But , the problem is still there, even with others mates' config cfg. Anyway, i post here to see if one of you already had this problem, if somebdoy knows about and how to fix it .

:wink:

So then you do a bit of searching, googling etc.
And you come to the conclusion that there's no other explanation then Bowdown being a cheater for many years :P :evil:

--> http://www.prime-squadron.com/modules.p ... pic&t=6389

This topic indicates that indeed the cg_rtcwShake 0 should fix the problem.
however the next topic says the problem is server based and can't be controlled individually. maybe because you control the server you can addapt this? dno.
its called sv_screenshake

http://www.prime-squadron.com/modules.p ... pic&t=9490

http://www.prime-squadron.com/modules.p ... pic&t=9638

and in last topic is talked about the spread values but i dont tink thats what you mean.

Imo:
Either you have been cheating for 4 years xD
or
Somehow server settings have changed (kickback settings, sv_screenshake, cg_smoothClients) causing everyone to have this "extra" shaking but i think that more people should have noticed it then....

anyway after a bit of googling i found out that unless you are cheating there is no "legal" way to stop the shaking for YOU only.
so it should be server based and therefore Bowdown should be able to change values, but then everone will have the advantage.

Those cvars don't exist in No Quarter.
There isn't a server side cvar that controls client-side screen shaking on impact hits.

The 3rd topic you posted has to do with the recoil while firing a gun and is only related to NQ 1.2.7.

Not sure where you got these from, but they don't exist in NQ either :) Are you sure cg_rtcwShake is set to 0 while 'noquarter' is loaded?

Sigh...
there goes 2 hours of research :(
anyway i half read past it that it was about ETmain/Etpro so my bad then, thought it might help anyway.

still, reading the topics about it and then also about other mods.
Me, i dont know in how far NoQuarter is personally adjustable or in how far it is legal. so i think what what bow does actually mean is a cheat (not accusing anyone) but if there is a solutino i'd be glad to know :)

How would having extra screen shake qualify as a cheat? :D

What Bow described is exactly what cg_rtcwShake 1 does.

Read the rest of the thread ;) Even if it would exist, sv_ vars are server related.

yeah but Bow doesnt want his screen to shake at all.
when i spoke him he told me he was trying cfgs from different people to get the shaking off, not to get extra shake :D

Might be me being dumb now .. xD :oops:

@Apy : well , as i ve alreay notice it on my post above, ithis settings are from ETpub/ETpro, i put them manually on my cfg as a try to fix the problem even if i did n t realy had a great a hope about the issue.
The first thing i ve checked and changed was indeed cg_rtcw that you can directly changed on NQ menu. The value is changed on my cfg and normaly have to be loaded when i run the game , but well maybe there is a problem and the game don t take the value ...

To be clear, i m playing ET since ages and never had this kind of "shakes" befor. All explosions , make my screen/cross move up and down and same goes for hits from enemies, which make the game pretty unplayable.As i know, no one you have to normaly this shakes.

And , the problem is clearly not server side as Apy pointed out, if not it would affect all of you :wink: .

Anyway , i m still searching for a solution :)

Bow, you have written me a PM loooong time ago.
I have told you to make a demo and send it to me (you didn't replay >_<).
So up one here.

Else we can only guess here and you will get the right answer very delay'd. Imo.
And if you give us the Demo we know if we can somehow help you.. or not.

But it really seems sth what none had before :p

So you get these shakes when you're hit by light weapons (thompson, mp40, sten etc.) as well? That changes things, cause cg_rtcwShake only kicks in when you're hit by heavy explosions (nades etc.).

Do you have the same problem on PS2, PS3 and PS5 (specifically PS2 vs. PS3/PS5)?

Have you tried removing your etmain + nq profiles and let ET generate new ones again?

Yah, if he records his gameplay with something like Fraps, or creates an avi out of his demo.

Seb is right in some way, i m damn buzy at the moment with my job and also a house moving i ve just finished two days ago (that s also why you did n t recieved a demo Element ), so indeed i ve lost a bit my gaming habits but what s sure is that i never had this kind of shakes befor.

@Apy : sorry for typo mistakes :wink: . The major problem is shakes when i m hit by light weapons which make the aiming pretty impossible (for me). Well, i did n tried connecting other servers till now, will do it and tell ya about.

I will install Fraps and make an .avi , the problem is that the files created by Fraps are pretty huge so have to see how i can make them smaller. I will post a demo as soon as possible.

Anyway , thx for all your replies guys :).

Anyone has an idea in what part off settings the problem should be? Client graphics, computer memory settings, etc...

Than you could compare your cfg to that one off anyone else, and try some different values at settings where the configs differ.

henksmadje please read topic more carefully and other topics too where u reply, then u get the point and dont have to make stupid posts.
