MW2 tweaks

[taliban]

This is just to help you guys get a better experience with the game...

everyone knows about the config_mp.cfg file from cod4 and cod2, same goes here but with mw2 you cant add or remove anything from the file else the game wont start, you only can modify some of the values...so here goes...

your config file can be found (depends one where you install steam) :

for 64bit:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\players\

for 32bit:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\players\




// Shows an indicator when there a flash/stun grenade is thrown near you
seta cg_hudGrenadeIconEnabledFlash "1" (default value is 0)

// Amount of packets sent per second
seta cl_maxpackets "100" (default value is 30) highest value 100 (removed since game update)

// This will connect you to a server with maximum X amount of ping
seta cl_maxPing "110" (default value is 800)

// Max frames per second shown
seta com_maxfps "250" (default value is 85) (removed since game update)

// Disable/enable lagometer
seta drawLagometer "1" (default value is 0)

// Enable/disable dynamic environment, ie objects will move when shot at etc
seta dynEnt_active "0" (default value is 1)

// Enable/disable your HUD
seta hud_enable "1" (default value is 1)

// Enable/disable in-game console (this seems to work with english keyboards only?)
seta monkeytoy "1" (default value is 0) doesnt work for me!!!

// Set the amount of anti-aliasing
seta r_aaSamples "16" (default value is 2)

// Enable/disable distortion from weapons, explosions etc
seta r_distortion "0" (default value is 1) heat/haze from weapons when firing

// Number of dynamic lights
seta r_dlightLimit "0" (default value is 4)

// Enable/disable depth of field
seta r_dof_enable "0" (default value is 1) I like mine disabled, hard to see when aiming from grass and bushes...

// Amount of ping bars shown, the more ping bars, the more precise ping will be shown
seta cg_ScoresPing_MaxBars "10" (default value is 4)

// Ping interval
seta cg_ScoresPing_Interval "20" (default is 100)
Explanation: If you have ping interval on 100 it means you have a 100 ping when you have full bars. If you have your ping interval on 20 it means you have 20 ping if you have full bars, and 20 extra ping for each bar that is gone, so if you have 6/10 bars you have a 100 ping.



You can disable the music in-game by renaming the file "mssmp3.asi" in miles folder located in the same directory as your config.




BTW snake the tweak to change your ping to numbers instead of bars doesnt work, when you close the game its gone...

I think if we all have the same cl_maxping then when we play as a group we should get better pings, not sure, should try it

[SnakeDoctor]

Also Some may not need it but i find if i open task manger and then go to processes then in the list find steam.exe and right click on it go to set priority's and change it to below normal it will cut down on the processing steam uses when in game. Do not turn it down lower then that because you will start to be kicked with map rotates.

[SnakeDoctor]

To answer yes you will Hybrid and I tested it out and we get great pings in servers when together.

[taliban]

lol i went in a server, we were getting lag and this clan said i hack cause i told them i edited my config to see more ping bars, so I could tell who was hosting, they said i'm a retard, i told them to go research it!

[mr_m]

// This will connect you to a server with maximum X amount of ping
seta cl_maxPing "110" (default value is 800)

omg. then they say "IWnet" is here to enhance the gameplay, that's fucking bullshit!!!

thx tali, but what do you mean

BTW snake the ping numbers tweak doesnt work, when you close the game its gone...

are u saying "seta cl_maxPing "110" (default value is 800) " wont work if you turn of the game, so you have to type it in all the time?

[SnakeDoctor]

there is a way to change the bars to numbers so you ping reads like 100 instead of green bars


see taliban I was not the only one you got with that question
