“Intel released the article ‘Quake Wars Gets Ray Traced’ (PDF) http://www.intelsoftwaregraphics.com/?lid=2224&siteid=32
which details the development efforts of the research team that applied a real-time ray tracer to
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars . It describes the benefits and challenges of transparency textures with this rendering technology.
Further insight is given into what special effects are most costly.
Examples of glass and a 3D water implementation are shown. The outlook hints into the area of freely programmable many-core processors, like Intel’s upcoming Larrabee, that might be able to handle such a workload.”

There are a lot of good configs floating around, but here is mine, I need it to run ETQW on my crappy system. You will probably need to change a few binds and crosshair colours etc, but overall, its quite good:

bind “DEL” “kill” “shift”
seta s_decompressionLimit “6”
seta net_clientMaxRate “50000”
seta net_serverMaxClientRate “50000”
seta m_strafeSmooth “1”
seta m_smooth “1”
seta m_strafeScale “6.25”
seta m_yaw “0.022”
seta m_pitch “0.022”
seta in_anglespeedkey “1.5”
seta in_pitchspeed “140”
seta in_yawspeed “140”
seta s_useAdpcmCompression “1”
seta ui_showGun “0”

seta pm_runbob “0”
seta pm_runpitch “0”
seta pm_runroll “0”
seta pm_bobpitch “0”
seta pm_bobroll “0”
seta pm_bobup “0”
seta pm_crouchbob “0”
seta pm_walkbob “0”

seta net_clientPunkbusterEnabled “1”//enables punkbuster client
seta net_clientMaxPrediction “1000” //maximum number of ms a client can predict ahead of server d.
seta net_clientPrediction “20” //additional client side prediction d.

Am looking to make a page of tips/tricks/guides/how to/links for help on how to edit content on the site.
the goal is to give people who are less savy and possibly the new members a brief run down on what they can do with the site and their posts.

If you know of how to do something special on the site, please add it to the list below.
I am giving away 20 Svalbards to each to the adder per item added.

here is an example of some Formatting hints/tips/guides/howto

Bold

Issue: How to make text bold.
Description:To make text BOLD you must add an asterix (*) at the start and finish of the text you wish to bold.
Example: This text is now BOLD would look like: ‘AsterixThis text is now boldAsterix’ (note the no spaces between the * characters and the start and end text)

External Linking

Issue: How to create a neat link such as YouTube rather then having the long messy http://au.youtube.com/ links?
