| − | === Scaling of menu ===
| |
| − | For especially for high resolution mobile devices or 4K displays it is useful to scale up the menu and HUD.
| |
| − | | |
| − | FTEQW has two options for this:
| |
| − | # ''/vid_conautoscale'' with typical values or 1, 1.5 or 2 (3, 4 etc.). This scales everything by the factor/value used.
| |
| − | # ''/vid_conwidth 640'' and ''/vid_conheight 0'' this autoscales a typical menu/HUD designed for a 640x480 screen to the full screen size while retaining the aspect ratio.

| − | === r_renderscale ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This renders the game view at a different resolution than your screen.
| |
| − | * A value of 2 is good for supersampling, giving a smoother appearance even mid-surface (unlike msaa), without needing to resort to blurring (read: fxaa)
| |
| − | * A value of 0.5 can give a small speedup with complex scenes involving many rtlights or reflections
| |
| − | * Values above 1 should not normally be used in conjunction with /r_fxaa. The result is not desirable, while smaller values are positively weird, but awesome with it.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | r_stereo_method 5
| |
| − |
| |
| − | for cross eyed 3D stereo rendering.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Some work was also done on WebVR support, but it is unclear if and what is actually working.

| − | == Download Menu ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The in-engine download menu provides easy access to install/uninstall additional packages, or simply update them more easily.
| |
| − | * Find Quake re-texturing packages and rtlight definitions
| |
| − | * Also the in-game editor (which needs cheats or singleplayer to use)
| |
| − | * A number of additional plugins.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Can be opened from the console with
| |
| − | /menu_download
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Paths ==
| |
| − | Paths can be annoying. Assuming that you don’t want to use “My Documents” folder to keep your game data, confirm that FTE is using the current folder by typing /path in the console.
| |
| − | * If it prints “My documents”, start FTE with the parameter -nohome, and create a shortcut to it
| |
| − | * If you want to see which package a file is inside, you can use “/flocate maps/foo.bsp” for instance. Alternatively you can use “/dir maps/foo.bsp” and it’ll list each occurrence of that file including the package/gamedir that contains it

| − | == Idling ==

| − |
| |
| − | snd_inactive 0;
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * will no longer play sounds while the window is not focused (on some systems anyway). needs a snd_restart though.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Regarding inactive cpu when game is minimized: set cl_idlefps to something low like 10 and the engine will sleep between ticks. You can also set cl_yieldcpu to 1 to reduce cpu usage with vsync off (or with low cl_maxfps).
