for removing the stats u simply have to wait a bit and then take the screen, what makes no sense, so why there were no stats

I'm human, I make mistakes. I just simply forgot my empty xp_OnExit var and the stats were gone when I took the shot.

Still, I don't care if I'm not on the list. If I would care I'd get in the same fight as always.

Yeah it's not like anyone's getting anything from being on a botfragging list (except major botbasher madskill propz of course!1) but still, it would be interesting to see a demo if you'd try again, even if it's not exactly the same score but like, "just" over 400 or so.

Like I wrote in the previous post. If it's real (as in played legit, I don't think anybody doubts the actual screen is unedited), it would be a cool improvement from the Faceless Wrath I 1v1'ed who without cheating would struggle with 300 frags in this competition. No offence, and if you're this much better now it's a major compliment plus a chance to show off some real skills. Exactly like last time I "called you out" but hopefully with a different result Happy

Believe me I'm not hoping to set up a trap or anything so I can wank over myself if there's more cheating going on, you already have enough shit going on over you at this forum without me adding to it. This is genuinely the opposite deal; not going to change the "once a thief always a thief" people or neccessarily anyone at all but it's a chance to show a huge skill improvement in a short amount of time. Like I said, the old Faceless Wrath would struggle to enter top10 here, but if the new The Death can do this good it's something I want to see, just because I like to recognize skill regardless of circumstances and cliché sayings.

If you (and everyone else) do record though, remember sv_fps 125 x) It's so depressing to have a demo of a really nice run recorded with the default unwatchable value.

Whatever blah blah. I might try this out again and record a demo. But I'm really not interested in a re-try as it took a few tries to get that high score.

Now I don't know if you're serious about that FPS value. Human eye can capture 74 frames per second. So tbh fps value should be always 74. I admit I use maxfps 100 but that's not as stupid as using 125. Your eyes won't capture all frames and it might affect your game.

The FPS deal is about other stuff. If you play locally and record a demo on the default value it comes out absolutely horrible and I am not exaggerating in the slightest. Anyone can try it and see for themselves. At 125, it is even perfectly smooth to watch in the lowest timescale values. And again, do take note I said sv_fps, not com_maxfps. You can have whatever com_maxfps you want, I don't really care but afaik above 125 is generally not allowed and less is "stupid" as you called it; both for the reason that the in-game physics are FPS dependant and with a roof of 125, that is the optimal value.

As for what the eye can register, I honestly don't give a crap about how many studies state this and that when I can tell the differece a hundred times out of a hundred between 74 and 125 fps. (Can't remember failing to know the difference between 125 and 333 fps in Soldier of Fortune 2 either, on a sidenote. Yes, tried.) And I definitely don't say it to brag, because 1. I am not alone - far from, and 2. I envy the people who DON'T see the difference, because they could probably play games like Quake 4 when it was capped at 60 fps without getting frustrated about how utterly shit it was. Just saying it because it's not as simple as saying "the eye has 74 fps, the end" when it can notice anything happening between those frames aswell, such as the tests where pilots could spot and even identify an image of an object flashing by at less than 1/1000 of a second if I remember correctly.

So if people can't see a positive difference with 125 fps compared to e.g 74, I'm not going to argue, not going to doubt them and not going to try to convince them they're wrong. But if anyone says to my face that I can't see a positive difference above 74, I'm not going to talk to that person until he/she grows a bit mentally.

Funny thing is I love fps 100 and I see no other reason to use 125 than brag about it or blindly believing what everyone else says. It might be different for everyone but I can't play properly without >100<40 fps.

I also see this thread getting a new turn which is totally my fault. I apolygize.

No no, my fault too but the thread is still on track if we drop the FPS talk which neither of us intend to continue. Everyone just needs to remember sv_fps 125 if they intend to record demos, that's why people include it in their special configs for competitions like these that have a bit more of a twist to them (like rail only). I believe some one in KO did f.e (Trance or HQ, don't remember who actually made the config).

Waiting for more people to join the fun Happy Aaand I wrote some more here to w0nk0 but it would be more offtopicness and flame. Just please, think of funnier "jokes" Tongue

Been busy but will maybe try again in the weekend... Need to get back to the anticamp railonly thing too since HQ has been idling that for a while now Big grin
