Can you tell me where I can get them? All I know to do is to set my windows mouse to FAST and to up the speed in the basic q2 game for the mouse.
 I know about sensitivity but is there a way to control how fast you "turn" and to "smoooth out" the movement.
 Thank you so much.

Yowza.. As far as helping to smooth the mouse :

If you are using a PS/2 mouse you can change the PS/2 Rate in the "motion" part of the mouse control center in control panel. (default is 100, you can change it to 200)
If you're using a usb mouse, I don't think the PS/2 rate helps.

To help smooth the mouse in Q2 you can try set m_filter "1" in console. This really helps but you might have to up your sensitivity by .5+ as it seems to make movement a tiny bit slower along with smoothing it out.

Neither of the above changes are permanent so you have nothing to lose but time. If you decide to keep using the m_filter command you will need to add set m_filter "1" to your autoexec.
m_filter "0" turns it off if you want to try it in game and decide you do not like it.

PS. if this was the smack section I would tell you that I use the m_filter and own everyone here with a 95% rail efficiency. But it's not, so I won't.

I've killed you before?

I think my bro is giving me his mouse, but thanks yowza <3

I know this sounds pretty basic, but I thought I remember you saying you had a G5 yowza? (best mouse ever, what i use!)

If so, did you play with the acceleration slide in the logitech mouseware utility?

You might also wanna adjust your m_pitch and m_yaw in game or in your config.

[nirvana]

+does that mfilter thing really help?

[yowza]

Majin - thank you. Yes I play with the G5 {scary good mouse once you get use to it} but I never installed the software. i will and will start messing with the settings.
 And thx alka - i am slow with my keyboard so the mouse is almost everything to my game so I will start tweekin.

+does that mfilter thing really help?

 I think I'm in need of coffee.. I read that as +MILFter. No wonder the FEMALE model doesn't return my phonecalls..

hah nice one Draig...

and yes Cake, m_filter helps get rid of some of the "stuttering" that happens when you +mlook around.
damn it's early.

There are also these setting to play with in r1q2: m_directinput

0 (Disabled)
1 (Enabled (buffered))
2 (Enabled (immediate))

Enable DirectInput for mouse movement. DirectInput provides smoother mouse response and removes any mouse acceleration. If enabled, buffered mode ensures every single mouse event is reported to R1Q2. Immediate mode takes a 'snapshot' at the moment input is required and thus may miss very quick button clicks or other fast actions, but may be more responsive on slower PCs.

and: m_fixaccel

0 (Disabled)
1 (Enabled)

Enable a 'fix' for the mouse acceleration changes that Microsoft made on Windows 2000 and higher. By default, mouse acceleration is enabled on Windows 2000 or higher which is the opposite of what happens on earlier OSes. Enabling this fix attempts to remove the acceleration. The default value is enabled if the OS is detected to be Windows 2000 or higher, disabled otherwise. Use of DirectInput is recommended over this setting.

[WORM]

Note that if you use m_directinput any normal mouse cvars, like m_filter & m_fixaccel, will be ignored.

i found this quake guy revilla's website way back when and have used alot of his configs settings

set bob_pitch "0" // These five commands really make a difference. They stop you
set bob_roll "0" // bobbing and weaving as you walk which makes aiming easier.
set bob_up "0"
set run_pitch "0"
set run_roll "0"

not sure how significant this really is

other good settings he posts are

set gl_polyblend "0" // Makes water clearer and stops you seeing red when being hit.

set gl_modulate "5" // Brighter surroundings. Easier to see in dark.
set gl_flashblend "0" // Makes water clearer and stops you seeing red when being hit.


does windows acceleration affect the mouse in q2?..im pretty sure ive turned it off on my system

Yes it does, and that's why all the newer engines have some cvar to turn off mouse acceleration.  Read my post, right above WORM's

is this for real...wish i knew about it a long time ago, wonder what else i'm missing out on, damnit.

Those bob* and run* settings are for singleplayer only, IIRC. The other settings are legit
