Quake3 Tips

Coloured Names

Have you ever been playing Q3 online and wondered how those guys get their names to be different colours? Or how they get each letter a different colour? You don't need to waste your time downloading those name generators. All you need to do is enter the following into the Q3 console:

^1=Red
^2=Green
^3=Yellow
^4=Blue
^5=Light Blue(Cyan)
^6=Purple
^7=White

So if my name was Cypher I would enter:
^1C^2y^3p^4h^5e^6r
Or if I wanted the whole word to be a single colour I would enter:
^1Cypher

 

FPS Increase

If you are using a Voodoo2 or Voodoo3 graphics card I recommend going to Wicked3D and downloading the Wicked GL Drivers. Some gamers get a frame increase from 3 to 10 fps. If you are a more experienced user you can take a look at my console page.

 

For all Dial-Uppers!

If you are'nt fortunute enough to have a cable, lan or T1 connection and you play Quake3 using your 56K modem then you probably know how lag can affect your game. So if you want to improve your game without playing online then there is a command that you can enter in the console to simulate lag.
Bring the console down and type cl_timenudge xxx, where xxx is the time in milliseconds. To simulate 100 ping, use cl_timenudge 100.
So set the cl_timenudge to the ping that you usually get on your favourite server and practice, practice , practice!
