Hey, I have a silly question, but where is the OA.cfg file - I just wanna back it up after I put in all my owl settings. Linux and the like: ~/.openarena/ Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/OpenArena/ Windows: %APPDATA%\OpenArena\ (eg. Documents/<user>/Application Data/OpenArena) But the q3config.cfg will be overwritten every time you launch the game (commands get in alphabetical order, comments are removed etc.), so you may want to create an autoexec.cfg file, which will be executed on launch and overwrite the commands which you define in it and it is not touched by the game at all. |

Thanks.
Actually it does retain them, things such as my mouse settings, gamma, volume, keys, fov.. etc; maybe you're talking about something else (?).
Thanks.

It happens though. Many times I make that .cfg READ-ONLY because some mods will override your custom setting and revert it back to original .cfg which can be a pain in the ass. It doesnt happen often though.

Yes, I was talking about the order of the commands, and the comments you may want to make. Here's an example, put this on the top of your q3config.cfg file: // this will be my name
seta name "MyName"
After you launch the game you won't find the name command on the top anymore, and your comment is also lost, but of course the setting is there. It's a minor thing, but if you want to put your commands in a logical order, and maybe label them with comments, than autoexec.cfg is your friend. Or as HITMAN said, you can make q3config.cfg read-only, but then your single player tier info will also be locked. |

Right. But I don't tinker with it too much. I'll deff. make it read-only and back it up (like previous Quakes) if I install mods for it. (And do the other stuff you said.) What mods do exist for this game anyway? |

What mods do exist for this game anyway? There are server's that run defrag, the freezetag mod, corkscrew mod, x-battle mod. Can't remeber any others at the moment. If i remember correctly. OA will run just about any Quake III mod. Not sure though. |

I have another sem-nub question, hehe..
Before I mess around in config, is the framerate frozen at 90? Because I took some of the detail out - which was maxed out - and it's still the same.
-Thanks.

I believe whatever you set cg_maxfps it will be it..I set mines to 125 and i think 90 is default. 125 is the most optimal setting. |

Mm.. I think I need some help to up my framerate.
It was pretty low on a big wide-open arena today - dipping in the 50s.
Does anyone know specifically some good settings to make it faster.. [what I turned off in the menus didn't seem to work too much] or is it the same thing from Q3 - should I import my cfg from there?
-Thanks.

Take a look at my config http://6r-clan.org/configs/miow.cfg especially pay attention to graphics part. is it the same thing from Q3 - should I import my cfg from there?
It's almost the same, though some cvars from Q3 don't exist in OA, also some cvars were replaced and some new introduced. |

Alright - thanks a lot. In Q3 btw I had something like 300 fps.. maybe I can get the same here. That'd be great.. -Baba. |

It's not like the more FPS you have the better. The best value for you is 125 http://dash9.ro/q/jumpheightcalculator/ |

.. before it was just very choppy and stuff, couldn't aim very well. Now it's more fluid and faster.. That's a very neat utility - I'll poke around with it, I never knew such a thing existed lol |

Some more questions n stuff.. hehe.
How do you spec on servers - what command(s)?
And can you plug in any .bsp maps to play with OA - any additional maps and resources to download? Will Q3 maps work?
-Thanks.

Yes Q3 maps will work. They may be missing textures though. There are various servers on OA that have Q3 and other custom maps. |
