Best cfg for me?

WhiteZero

I can usually average around 200FPS uncapped and my connection is Cable 12Mbit/3Mbit.
After reading around, I think these settings should work best in my userconfig.cfg:


developer 1
cl_rate 9999
fps_max 100
cl_cmdrate 100
cl_updaterate 100
rate 30000
ex_interp .05

Would this be best?

cl_cmdrate should be your FPS + 5, turn net_graph on 2 and make sure the you're not getting red dots on the bottom of your graph.
Online, the maximum rate for HL is 20000. cl_rate is supposed to be locked, although I remember reading something about it isn't really. 9999 should be fine though.
Optimal cl_updaterate depends on server settings, but I guess setting it higher than it can support doesn't have too many negative effects.
ex_interp also varies, adjust it until it feels right. Personally, I find the minimum setting that doesn't end up extrapolating stuff (yellow/orange dots on the net_graph), then work my way up.
There's no real point to developer 1 unless you're going to raise your fps_max above 100.

Awesome, thanks!

Ok, so I've tweaked my fps_max down to 95, in order to have cl_cmdrate +5, sense 105 isn't allowed, it seems.
I've also been messing with ex_interp... here are the net_graph results of different settings for me (on most servers):

(these are just sitting in the RR with no one else around, if that makes a difference)
<u>ex_interp 0</u>

<u>ex_interp 0.05</u>

<u>ex_interp 0.1</u> (max setting)

I'm going to guess the result of 0.1 would be the most desirable?

cl_cmdrate should go above 100.
Blue and purple is fine, that's just interpolation. It's the yellow and red that's extrapolation, which you want to avoid if possible. Like I said, it's personal preference. It's pretty much a trade off between reaction time and smoothness/accuracy.
