  • new comer to half life (hehe) and G200 questions

    Hi guys .. just installed Half life TFC and the latest patch (1.1.0.1)
    I'm using win98 SE and G200 8 SD with PD 6.14
    1st: the end or home keys doesn't centre my position ! anyone know a solution for this ?
    2nd: i used to use some special autoexec.cfg file in quake 2 to get higher gamma and brightness
    (set intensity "2.0"
    set vid_gamma "2.5"
    set gl_modulate "2.5"
    set gl_saturate "0" )
    .. are there similar settings for half life ?
    3rd: how can i measure my FPS in half life ? they mention a gauge command but they don't mention what are the demo maps names.
    4th: my desktop is set at 1024x768x32, and i noticed the game run in 16 bit colors . is there a 32 bit mode ?

    I play at 1024x768x16@85Hz, i use MGATweek to overclock to 220-225, and MTSTU to set the OGL settings for speed.
    The game performance isn't bad, but not really smooth and i don't really wanna play at 800x600.
    Are there any recommended tweeks or settings?

    my system is a celeron 300A@450 and 192 PC-100 ram on a gigabyte 6BXE mobo.

    The site below has all of the variables for you to tweak your config, and the command line switches as well. I think the 32bit switch is to just tag a -32bpp on your command line, but I would suggest leaving it in 16bit, and setting your desktop to 16bit when you play. A G200 is not going to run well at 32bit with most games.

      And also not very good at 1024x768, either. 800x600 is the optimal balance between image quality and speed in the G200 department.

        Thanx for the link Kruzin.
        I don't really wanna play at 32 bit, I was just wondering coz quake2 run at what's ur current desktop colors are and i had to reduce my desktop to 16 prior to run quake2.
        While in half life it run at 16 even if my desktop is at 32 bit.
        Alec : yeah 800x600 was my sweet spot in quake2. and it was great
        anyway .. thanx for the info guys.
