ezQuake Manual: Network Settings Variables

cl_c2sImpulseBackup 

Description

Used with cl_c2spps, it controls how many backup copies of packets with non-zero impulses are to be sent to the server. The recommended value is 3, but you can try 2 or even 1 to reduce traffic if you don't have any packet loss.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 3

Variable is float.

cl_c2spps 

Description

Packet filtering (a la Qizmo's .c2spps command). Use this to reduce network traffic if you're playing on a 28800 (or worse) connection and can't set cl_maxfps 72 because it causes lag. Also consider use of FPS independent physics in conjunction with cl_physfps.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0

Variable is float.

cl_chunksperframe 

Description

Affects the download speed when using chunked downloads, more chunks per frame results in higher download speed

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 2

Variable is integer.

Servers can limit the amount of chunks sent per frame

cl_crypt_rcon 

Description

Encrypts rcon messages sent to server.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 1

Variable is float.

cl_delay_packet 

Description

Client will delay incoming and outgoing packets allowing user to increase his ping in the game.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0

Variable is integer.
milliseconds to delay packets

Players can use this to get equivalent pings on server. If you enter delay of 20 miliseconds, incoming packets will be delayed by 10 miliseconds, outgoing packets too. It's preferred to use the least value that gives you your desired ping.

cl_earlypackets 

Description

Read network data independently on physical frames. When using independent physics, network data will be read as early as possible, compared to the old way when it was read only on every physframe (77 times per second).

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 1

Values

cl_fix_mvd 

Description

A fix for buggy MVD demos, making the client to parse them properly

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0

Values

valuedescription
1
0

Was caused by a flaw in MVDSV server

cl_nodelta 

Description

Control the network packet delta compression. When you get blue lines in your netgraph, you should set 'cl_nodelta 1'.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0

Values

valuedescription
1Disable delta compression.
0Enable delta compression.

cl_nopred 

Description

For debugging, disables movement prediction for your character; other players are still predicted.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0

Values

valuedescription
1Don't predict movement
0Predict movement

cl_pext_256packetentities 

Description

Allow protocol extension for allowing more packet entities.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 1

Values

0

cl_pext_chunkeddownloads 

Description

Enables protocol extension called \"Chunked downloads\". Allows you to download maps and demos from servers faster.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 1

Values

0

cl_pext_other 

Description

Allows other protocol extensions other than Chunked downloads

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0

0

cl_predict_half 

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0

Values

valuedescription
1Predicting half the move (QW 2.30 default)
0Full prediction of players' movement (ezQuake default)

The new default eliminates player models' jittering when independent physics is enabled; a possible downside is larger prediction errors of modem players' movement, hence the option to revert to old behavior.

cl_predict_players 

Description

This toggles the prediction for other players' movement. Unless you are having problems this variable should be left at "1".

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 1

Values

0

cl_proxyaddr 

Description

IP address of the proxy server to use while connecting to servers.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default:

Variable is string.

This will override the /connect and /reconnect commands so that the connection is established via given proxy server.

cl_solid_players 

This variable has been updated

Description

Whether the movement prediction engine should treat other players as solid.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 1

Values

0

Default is 1 and there's no reason to change it.

cl_timeout 

Description

This variable defines the timeout value in seconds until the client considers himself to be disconnected from the server.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 60

Variable is float.

cl_useproxy 

Description

This toggles whether Qizmo should be used (if detected) to a server. When enabled the server browser will use an existing connection to a Qizmo when connecting another server by using the ezQuake Server Browser.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0

Values

valuedescription
1use Qizmo to connect a server chosen in the Server Browser
0do not use Qizmo to connect a server chosen in the Server Browser

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: -999

Variable is integer.
