Quake Live

it's too fast because zoomsensitivity is bugged at aspect ratios other than 4:3.

Thanks stereo i'll give it a try 

EDIT: After testing its very very close. Would say its a tiny bit slow, but that could be human error.

i know what you mean. give match 100 % a chance: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1.804999%3D2.031552*x*arctan%5B3%2F4*tan%5B72.93degrees%2F2%5D%5D%2Farctan%5B9%2F16*tan%5B83.93degrees%2F2%5D%5D

Will that be in the near future? or could you post a wolfram alpha with the equation, y'know maybe if Kandi donates 20 dollars to the website? LOL. I feel like using ADS on quake is stalling my muscle memory cause its not perfect for viewspeed. Just wanna have it correct

It will probably take a few days at least, but I can do it manually for you in the meantime. If you tell me the numbers I'll do the math!

Input: Game, aim, sensitivity, dpi, resolution, fov.

Output for Quake: base sens, main fov and zoom fov.

Input: Windows, 4/11, 400 DPI, 1920x1080 (Aim, sensitivity, and FOV not applicable)

Output for quake: Base sens: 1.354368, main fov: 83.93, zoom fov: 72.74 (4:3 base), 1920x1080 in game res.

Thanks in advance wizard!

Ok, will look at it tomorrow.

Im so excited for this, love quake for aim training, gonna be so nice for training quick peaking when I can ADS and know its accurate

cg_zoomsensitivity 0.799424

cg_zoomsensitivity 0.830876

Converting from Windows or Quake Live hipfire with your settings (both of you) yield the same result, so it's viewspeed all the way!

Pogchamp! Thanks Wizard  take my one year subscription hehe 

FYI: This is the same result that stereo's first equation above got me. So his was correct and can be used to find viewspeed for cg_zoomsensitivity: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1.754752%3D%3D2.031552+x+arctan%5B3%2F4*tan%5B72.93degrees%2F2%5D%5D+%2F+arctan%5B9%2F16*tan%5B83.93degrees%2F2%5D%5D

Just correct the 2 sensitivities and the 2 FOV's and you're good to go!

Just published this update now

Tried it, but doesnt seem to be working 

So which FOVs do we put where? The note doesn't say anything about the zoom fov so I assume you put zoom fov in the normal fov field but put your hipfire fov in the Sensitivity 2 field - is this correct?

thanks wizard

I tried to convert my normal QL sens to QL zoom sens and results were complitely wrong.. So here are the steps ive done:

1) Im using 800x600 res, 800 dpi, 2.5 ingame sens and 90 fov in QL

2) Wanted a flat convertion from 90fov 2.5sens to 45fov and 2x times slower sens when zoomed

3) Used match monitor distance by 100% to get those results , so according to calculator if i want my 20,7818cm per 360 (which is sens 2.5 and 800 dpi) become 41,5636cm per 360 when using zoom_fov 45 my cg_zoomsensitivity should be 0.850558

4) Tried that ingame and instead of 41,5cm per 360 when zoomed i end up with 50+cm..

Is there a mistake in your zoom formula? Mb it somehow has to deal that im using 4x3 aspect instead of 16x9, but thats just a guess

I'm trying to run this on a 21:9 screen and something just doesn't seem right about the FOV values I'm getting from the calculator (103 doesn't feel like 132 HFOV)

Am I doing something wrong here?

Cheers

This game had the wrong FOV type, updated it now.

I always wondered why my tracking felt so different in this game despite using the same FOV as Overwatch. Thanks for everything!

Hey again,

Has it reverted to a different FOV type? I'm getting some values that don't feel right...

Cheers!
