#!/bin/shRead the rest of the article for a sample Quake3 config file that may help further increase your framerates...
cd /path/to/Quake3.app/Contents/MacOS
./Quake3&
ps -ax | grep Quake3 | grep -v grep
sudo renice -20 -p `ps -ax | grep Quake3 | grep -v grep | cut -c1-5`
The last thing I did was to create an autoexec.cfg in my baseq3 folder and add the following commands:
seta r_picmip "2" // default:1 // Mipmap level of game textures, the higher the number, the blurrier things get, the faster the FPSUsing these settings, I get much better performance in Quake III on my TiBook than I would otherwise, although since I'm running on a Rage 128, performance still sucks! And yes I know that I can put all the autoexec parameters onto the ./quake3 line of the shell script, but I like things to be modular. In reality, I have an autoexec.cfg that executes five OTHER .cfg files! :D
s_chunksize 2048
seta com_hunkMegs "180" // default:56 // 56 is if you only have 64 MB, more needs extra memory!
seta com_soundMegs "18" // default:8 // see above with sound
seta com_blood "0" // default:1 // Show blood, when 0 no blood, better performance
seta cg_gibs "0" // default:1 // Renders gibs (heads, arms, legs...), when 0 no gibs, better performance
// because i run off a TiBook, i want Quake III to fill the screen!
seta cg_fov "110" // default:90 // Regular field of vision (not zoomed in)
set r_customaspect "1"
set r_customwidth "720" // default:? // or you can use 896, or 1152
set r_customheight "480" // default:? // or you can use 600, or 768
set r_fullscreen "1"
set r_mode "-1" // Default: 3 // Resolution, -1 means use settings above
BTW, The shell script is also customizable so that you can go straight into your mods! I don't recall how that is done though.
