What is the command do I need to type to get the fps result in Q2 and Q3?

[nEoTeChMaN]

I haven't play it in a while.

I forgot the command to use in Q2 and Q3 to get the fps?

Thanks in advanced.

write 'cg_drawfps 1' in the console. (default is 0).

 

[garrison]

(at least in q3arena)

 

[nEoTeChMaN]

No, I'm talking about the Timedemo.

How do you do the timedemo in Q3?

Don't worry about Q2 because I just figured that out.

[JERR]

should be

timedemo 1

and then you run your demo such as

demo demo001

 

[ApacheXMD]

and for q2:

timedemo 1
map demo1.dm2 (or demo2.dm2)

-patchy

 

[ApacheXMD]

doh.
didn't see that you figured it out

-patchy

 

[nEoTeChMaN]

That is ok, patchy.

I tried the demoloop patch for Q3 and when I typed: demoloop it kept saying it can't find the file. What gives, Patchy?

Did you get lost to the chatroom?
Haven't see you in a while.

[ApacheXMD]

ah, you're referring to the demoloop thingy from that other thread?
you have to type: exec demoloop
not just demoloop

-patchy

 

[nEoTeChMaN]

I did, patchy..still doesn't work.

[ApacheXMD]

you sure you named the demoloop.cfg file right?
it might be "demoloop.cfg.txt" if you didn't name it with quotation marks in notepad

-patchy

I typed in 'cg_drawfps 1' but it didn't show me anything. How can I get it to show fps while im playing? I just barely bought this game today. I've always played UT but decided to give Q3 a try.

 

[ApacheXMD]

did you include the slash ( \ ) ?
you need the slash if you type in commands in the console when you're in a game.
if you're in the menus, you don't need the slash but you should get used to it anyway...

\cg_drawfps 1

-patchy

Remember, you pull down the console at the main menu screen,
then type in timedemo 1 enter then demo demo001 enter then hit the ~
key to see the FPS. I get 91.5 on my 800 athalon and 58.4 on my PIII
450 both have DDRs in them. as Tom says nothing like RAW POWER!!!

 

[nEoTeChMaN]

That was it! When I unhide the file .exe..I found "Loop.cfg.txt"

So, I just removed the .txt part.
