Found this on fkmod.com's site, very nicely done. I thought I would share it with you.

. How can I improve my broadband network settings?
First locate your uoconfig_mp.cfg (Typically C:ProgramFiles-Call of Duty-uo-uoconfig_mp.cfg)

Make a backup copy

Open it then find and change the following settings

seta cl_maxpackets "100"
seta cl_packetdup "1"
seta snaps "40"
seta rate "25000"

When finished save file and exit.



. What is the Lag-O-Meter?
Sometimes people get a lot of lag on their computers and don't know if it's their machine or Internet connection. Well here's a little setting that's not well known called the lagometer. Basically you type in the command and it will show if you are having any connection problems with the server.

Hit the ~ key to bring down the console. It's to the left of the 1 key far left side of your keyboard.

Type in /cg_lagometer 1 to turn the lagometer on. To turn it off /cg_lagometer 0 After activating the meter you'll see a graph above your ammo display.

The blue top display is your upload connection to the server and the bottom green is the server's upload connection to you. Under optimum conditions you connection should display solid blue while the server's display should display a solid green.

If you start to show yellow spikes or bars in either display it means there are minor to moderate connection problems on the display owners end.

If it displays red spikes or bars you are having major connection problems on the display owners end.

By display owner I mean if the top display has spikes or bars it's your end, if they are on the bottom display it's on the server's end. If they're on both displays I would assume there is a problem with the connection between you and the server.



· How do I show my fps in the game?
Hit the ~ to bring down the console.

Type /cg_drawfps 1

This will display your frames per second (fps) on the top right of your screen.



· How to adjust refresh rate for game play?
A common misconception is that people think the monitor display refresh rate while in full screen game play is the same as your desktop.

If your eyes get tired or you seem to get a little motion sick while playing the game, maybe it's caused from your monitor running at 60Hz.

WARNING - MAKE SURE YOUR MONITOR SUPPORTS HIGHER REFRESH RATES

Bring down the console window via the ~ key.

Type /r_displayrefresh 75 This will set your monitor refresh rate in the game to 75Hz.

Type /vid_restart and this will restart the graphics/video for the game.



· How can I tweak my Punkbuster settings for best gameplay?
In your Call of Duty/PB folder create a new text file.

In it type these settings.

pb_sleep 500
PB_SsLog 1
PB_SsSave 1
pb_LogToFile 1
pb_logmd5tool 1

Save the file as pbcl.cfg

This will allow Punkbuster to function and give you maximum performance.



· I have a new video card and only get 60 FPS what do I do?
Make sure to set sync every frame to no.
You will find this setting in United Offensive. Under options - performance.



· Unlock you Frame Rate
First locate your uoconfig_mp.cfg (Typically C:ProgramFiles-Call of Duty-uo-uoconfig_mp.cfg)

Make a Backup copy

Open it in wordpad

Find and change the following setting

seta com_maxfps "???"

Change the number in quotes to "0" (if you want to uncap your frames per second)
or
change it to "125" This is supposed to be the optimum setting for the Quake 3 Engine.



· Set your Hunkmegs for maximum performance
First locate your uoconfig_mp.cfg (Typically C:ProgramFiles-Call of Duty-uo-uoconfig_mp.cfg)

Make a Backup copy

Open it in wordpad

Find and change the following setting

seta com_hunkmegs "???"

Change the number in quotes to half of your system memory.
Example:
System memory is 512mb set it to 256
System memory is 1 gigabyte set it to 512
This allows larger maps to load and run more smoothly.



· How do you color your in game name?
Player Name: Enter the name that you wish to use here.
If you want colors in your name, simply type ^# (the number varies) before the letters that you want colored.

The color codes are:
^1 = red
^2 = green
^3 = yellow
^4 = blue
^5 = light blue
^6 = purple
^8 is a color that changes depending what level you are on.
American maps = Dark Green
Russian maps =Dark red/marroon
British maps = Dark Blue
^9 = grey
^0 = black (You must type two ^^0 to type in black, not one carrot)

1.) How do you bind messages, like saying head shot and such?

2.) How do people get the name to change and flash and stuff at the end of a round?

3.) How do you record a demo? you can record and stop record in your console, and i was told i can make a demo using that?


I have googled and google is not my friend.

#3) To record a demo, type:

record demoname

into your console. When you're done, type:

stoprecord

into the console.

how do you play back a demo?

Should be:

demo demoname

thanks frosty!!!

Locate your uoconfig_mp (It's in your C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\uo folder) and edit it with a good text editor, not Notepad.

Add the following to the config file:



That would make your "H" key say Hello to team.



This would make your "H" key say Hello to all.




I am told that the answer to this one can be found HERE but I don't read German ;(



To Start recording a demo, type the following into console:
record silver

This will begin recording a demo named silver.

To Stop recording, type: stoprecord

To play back a demo naed silver, type: demo silver

i posted a message (anyone speak german and wants to help )

thank you eMac (sherlock program )my post...

Damn you Silver! Go edit your post on that forum and fix the link to our site. Way to represent....

i broke something
*edit* now i really did it its lost.

anyone knows what is the max frame rate and refres rate to ati radeon 800xl 256mb?

There used to be a way to setup the Backspace key as an automatic demo recorder. Basically, every time you hit the key it would toggle whether it was recording a demo. Each demo would get a new filename. Ah, found it...



The commands in the demo.cfg file are:



I got this off of the old Confederate Armada site, I'm not sure where they got it from.

I put the demo.cfg file under the "uo\" folder in my Call of Duty folder. Same directory as the uoconfig_mp.cfg file.

I always have to type:

/recoredname

and:

/stoprecord

It wont work on mine if I dont type the backslash

I know that this post was abandoned for some time, but I can do a bit german... I guess I'm the language geek at this forum while no-one knows it

I think this is what you seek:

NICK ANIMATOR
Da viele gefragt haben ob es möglich ist - Ja es ist hier ein Bsp.
Mit diesem Script kann man während des Rundenendes wenn die Punkte der Teams angezeigt werden seinen Namen durch einmaligen Druck der Taste farbig animieren !.
HINWEIS: um das Script verwenden zu können den aufruf mit /bind (TASTE) exec "nickanimator1.cfg" noch in die config_mp packen.
Genau zur Zeit wenn beim Rundenende Die Scores angezeigt werden dann per Tastendruck aktivieren

as it was quite a geeky text the translation might be damn bad...but I tried my best

They give 2 example .CFG's:

Link 1
Link 2

This is maybe a nice link... they had it on their site

There's a better way to make binds. Instead of doing it in your config, simply do it while in the game.

In console (~) type this:

/bind *key* say *message*

Then when you press the key whalah. You can also do a Team Say bind.

/bind *key* say_team *message*

When you press the key whalah, but only to your team.

I have a name changer. If you want it I can email it to you with steps on how to do it.

TO bind words you just go to the console type /Bind p {Or any letter) then you type say right after the letter then you type what you want it ot say. And to put in color is just the same way u put color in ur name.

Is there an echo in here?

Nice thread. I was looking for a way to bind some messages to keys opposed to typing "Need support while planting 1" or my favorite "Need help at 1 now"

You must have skipped over that part.

Pull down the console by typing a tilde (`) and then type:

/bind (key) say "Hello, world"

Type whatever (key) you want to use and from now on that key will send a global message to all players "Hello, world"

So, as an example, if you want to change the plus sign to say the above phrase, you would type into the console:

/bind + say "Hello, world"

From now on, everytime you hit the plus sign during a game, you will send a global message to all players.

To speak only to your team, simply change the word "say" to "say_team"

Is there an echo in here?

To add colour to a bind;

Using Hammas sample.... keys 1 to 9 represent different colours.
So lets say I want to colour the word 'World' red in the message... type the following
bind + say "Hello ^1World"

Basically put ^ in front of a word or a letter you want in colour. ^ is immediately followed by the number [that represents the colour you want. Nope, I don't remember all the colour codes.
