Counter Strike Source Mouse Optimization
I present to your attention today about the mouse settings for playing Counter-Strike. From this article you'll learn about everything that relates to the mouse in CS 1.6. I will describe the subtleties and give advice on those or other settings, but remember for every person settings may vary. That is convenient one - not necessarily good for another. The matter of habit. So the main thing - to make it convenient to you. Management is not something that for Dummies or lamer, and help those who can play for a long time by default and wants something to change that or just find out what major change in their config files for the players of Counter Strike : Source. So, consider the basic network parameters that must be mastered for successful game settings.

The First is So-called Rates. Setting for the same are:
- rate 25000
- cl_updaterate 101
- cl_cmdrate 101
However, data variables sometimes have to change. Entering into the console and then type net_graph 3, you can see the bottom of the resulting tablets meaning loss (packet loss) and choke. Ideally, neither the one nor the other should not. However, if a loss or choke have values different from zero - it makes sense to reduce (start rate 15000; cl_updaterate 1980; cl_cmdrate 80) and lower, until the loss and choke are not wasted. Contrary to popular opinion, the advantage of the changes ex_interp in version 1.6 cannot be obtained. Regarding the values 0.01 used to LANe, and when playing on the internet sometimes makes sense to switch to 0.1. I must say this parameter not change much better to stay by default, since the championships change this setting is prohibited.
Mouse Optimization in Counter Strike Source:
When you run Counter-Strike, go to the menu Options. Next, click the tab Mouse. Now I will explain what each of the options on this tab, and that it would be better to include and what not.
Reverse Mouse: This option reverses the direction of the mouse in the game vertically: when moving the mouse up your sight begins to fall down, and vice verse.
- Recommended value: Disabled.
Mouse Look: This option is responsible for the opportunity to look around in the game using your mouse.
Mouse Filter: This option is responsible for the smooth movement of the mouse in the game. And although its inclusion may indeed smooth movement of the sight, better to leave this option off. Here's why: If the Mouse Filter is enabled, the CS will take the arithmetic mean of the last two frames to get a result, a more gradual effect of moving the mouse, whereas in the disabled state is estimated the last frame and given a precise value of displacement. In other words, disconnected Mouse Filter gives a more dramatic, but more precise movement of the sight, and also adds a little FPS.
- Recommended value: Disabled.
Joystick: The option that is responsible for the use of the joystick instead of a mouse. In Counter-Strike is not appropriate.
- Recommended value: Disabled.
Joystick Look: Same as Mouse Look, just for the joystick.
- Recommended value: Disabled.
Auto-Aim: Automatically brings sight on the enemy. This option selected by default. Auto-Aim is prohibited on most servers and all the championships. In addition, Auto-Aim is very inconvenient.
- Recommended value: Disabled.

Re: Counter Strike Source Mouse Optimization
Open console (~) and write:
- m_pitch 0.022 - sets the sensitivity factor when moving the mouse up and down
- m_side 0.8 - sets the speed strafe mouse
- m_yaw 0.022 - sets the sensitivity factor when moving your mouse left, right.

Mouse Acceleration
The mouse acceleration. The mouse acceleration is an invention that makes it possible even in the smallest space, i.e. mouse pad to travel a long distance on the monitor. In response, the acceleration as follows: we move the mouse slowly over the pad as we are only a short Put on the monitor cover. But if we are the mouse only for a short distance, but lightning tear on the pad, so we will see that the cursor is an enormous distance.
Now if you have very low mouse sensitivity, then such a function can be quite useful. Player with a high sensitivity in turn has the problem that the mouse is virtually uncontrollable fast. The Mousefix, at least known as such, is a simple one. Reg file that removes the mouse acceleration in Windows. Acceleration is probably the most important factor in setting up the mouse. While all this - a matter of habit, a key advantage in disabling mouse acceleration is the stability of displacement. Enabled mouse acceleration you will notice that the cursor in the beginning of his movement is moving slowly, then - rapidly and by the end of the movement - again slows down. Therefore it is strongly recommended to disable the mouse acceleration. However, even after to uncheck "Enable greater accuracy the pointer in the mouse settings in Windows, acceleration can still be recorded in the registry system.
The acceleration of the mouse is the standard for Windows 2000/XP and occurs when an abrupt movement of the mouse sensitivity is increased. Accordingly, slow moving rat sensitivity does not change. The vast majority of professional players in Counter-Strike prefer not to use the acceleration, by resorting to several ways:
- The easiest way to download the Mouse Fix (also known as XP Mouse Fix) (link), run the attachment in a file and restart. I had provided the attachment for the same below. Click on the same to download it.
- The second way - through the prescription of certain options when you start the game. In order for them to enter, go in the parameters of Counter-Strike via Steam menu and the first tab, click on the button «set launch options».
Next, we consider, in fact, these parameters and what they do:
- Noforcemaccel means the use of in-game mouse acceleration settings are identical to those which exist in the operating system itself
- Noforcemparms means using the game of the same settings, the mouse buttons, as in Windows.
- Noforcemspd means that the game under any circumstances, sensitivity will be the same as in Windows (use this command is not recommended, since it is impossible to change the sensitivity in the game)
Introducing these variables should be with the addition of a dash in front of each. If you enter multiple, separated by spaces.
- Classic Windows: Start -> Control Panel -> Mouse.
- Select a category in Windows: Start -> Control Panel -> Printers and Other Hardware -> Mouse.
Another option is the mouse, which should be set a speed indicator. Choosing tab Pointer Options "in the properties of the mouse, look at the panel with the slider directly under the word" Movement ". This panel determines how high the velocity of your mouse. This directly affects the speed of the mouse in the game. If you have a very low speed of the mouse in Windows, you may need to put high-speed mouse in the game and vice versa. Customize the way you prefer and do not forget that any changes will affect the speed of moving the mouse in the game (depending on what noforce command you use).

Mouse DPI setting :
Start -> Programs -> Your Mouse Software (if available).
DPI mouse stands for «Dots Per Inch» (which means "dots per inch"; inch - a measure of length equal to 2.54santimetra). Most optical mice have a 400-800 DPI. That means that the cursor is moved to 400-800 pixels per inch of movement on the screen. In these mice, as mx518 DPI can reach a value of 1,600. The greater the DPI of a mouse, so it will be faster, more accurate and sensitive. Just because your mouse, for example, has 800 DPI, does not mean that it is configured in such a way as to give those same 800 DPI. The value may be lower. However, downloading the appropriate drivers and software from the manufacturer of your mouse, you can increase the DPI at times.
Mouse Frequency :
One important aspect in setting up the mouse is its frequency. What is the frequency of the mouse? As is known, the frequency measured in hertz. (Hz). The frequency of the mouse - is the amount of information that the optical mouse sends the system per second. Arguing as in the case of FPS, you can come to a logical conclusion the more - the better. There are two important factors that affect the frequency of the mouse. First - this is, of course, itself a mouse. And the second - is the port that you use to connect your mouse.
Generally, if you use a USB port, you can reach frequencies of about 125Hz. The frequency of the mouse when connected to PS/2port will be in the range from 40Hz to 97Hz. Also, the frequency of mouse may affect such factors as whether it is a (mouse) wired or wireless (Hint: wired mouse-better). There are several tools to increase the frequency of the mouse when connected to PS / 2 port, but it is better to buy an adapter PS/2-to-USB, as even after tweak PS / 2 port, USB will issue all the same high frequency of the mouse.

Sensitivity:
This option allows you to display the mouse speed in the game that is velocity sight. While the generally accepted value of the speed the mouse is in the range from 1 to 5, your choice depends entirely on your mouse and the surface on which you play.
Settings sensitivity each defines for himself, but there are some factors that directly affect this variable. First of all, the operation has been directly dependent on the refresh rate monitor. For example, if you are using a sensitivity two to 60 Hz, then going to 120 Hz operation has been to be two times slower, since the image is updated twice as fast. Consequently, the operation has been to be changed to 4.
Zoom_sensitivity_ratio a factor depending on the zoom when the operation has been normal. The standard is 1.2, i.e. when zooms operation has been increased by 0.2 per cent. Parameter 1 indicates the same operation has been for all modes. Most professional players do not change this variable.
Mouse driver: Install the driver in most cases relevant for laser mice. For optical mouse drivers installation is voluntary.
Re: Counter Strike Source Mouse Optimization
Overclocking the USB ports :
The settings continue with the overclock of the USB ports on the mouse. Ahead was told that there are programs such as, Mouse Rate Switcher '. It is an easy to use tool and also fulfills iSts purpose. However, this program overclocked all USB ports on the computer. Problem is that some USB devices like mobile phones, digital cameras or external hard drives make you a problem with a overclocked USB port. For example, the connection is lost to the equipment. However, there is a program that creates remedial: the USB Mouse Rate Adjuster 'and known as "Polling Rate'. With this small program, only the USB port overclocked, which also is connected to your mouse. This eliminates the problems described.
Some older mice do not tolerate such rates of 1000Hz. Tests so from what rate your mouse - create a rule but it should at least 500Hz join.
A simple tool for that is Polling Rate. Unzip the program into a folder and start the 'Setup.exe'. Do not worry - it will not install anything. The program will start and your mouse should normally be displayed immediately. Marks this makes a catch under, Filter On Device , select your desired Hertz rate and makes a catch in, Mouse Only. After you click the button, Install Service, and after her a little charging awaiting her clicks 'Restart'. After the restart you should have your desired mouse rate.
Unzip the file and executes it. Just the mouse in the big field to move a little back and forth. Laws, you should then approximate values are shown. So if you 'only' you are definitely 450Hz 500Hz. As I said, the program displays it in part to only approximately.
As a small refinement, there is a setting in Windows to improve the mouse acceleration normally. This should, if desired, also be exhibited. Click on Start / Control Panel / mouse. There on the grid, Pointer Options 'and then remove the check in improving pointer precision.

Console Commands for Mouse Settings:
These commands can be used before and during the game, using the console (~ key).
1. m_filter [0 | 1] - the equivalent option Mouse Filter. 0 = Off., 1 = On.
2. m_forward - Sets the speed of moving the mouse forward and backward.
- Recommended value: Default.
3. m_pitch - Sets the speed of moving the mouse up and down.
- Recommended value: Default.
4. m_side - Sets the speed of moving the mouse in hand.
- Recommended value: Default.
5. m_yaw - Sets the speed of mouse movement when turning left and right.
- Recommended value: Default.
6. sensitivity - Equivalent option Mouse Sensitivity. It is possible to display decimal values.
7. zoom_sensitivity_ratio - Setting the time-velocity mouse during the inclusion of an optical sight in the game depending on the value of this command. Meaning - it is not speed itself mice, and the ratio of normal speed to the speed with the included zoom. For example, if your mouse speed is equal to 4, and the value zoom_sensitivity_ratio is 0.5, then the inclusion of an optical sight, this rate will be divided in half (0.5) and is equal to 2.
Re: Counter Strike Source Mouse Optimization
More Settings:
Right click on the label Counter-Strike, and then select Properties from the popup menu. Right click on the label Counter-Strike, and then select Properties from the popup menu. The following three commands most frequently used.
http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3750/...ikesource4.jpg
Here they are:
- noforcemaccel - a team that prohibits the game include the mouse acceleration, if it is prohibited in Windows. Use noforcemaccel, when you want to play without mouse acceleration.
- noforcemparms - allows you to use the system mouse button assignments, and not playing. Use this command if you are having difficulties with the appointment of the mouse buttons in the game.
- noforcemspd - allows you to use the system configuration speed of the mouse, rather than playing. Use noforcemspd, if you want the mouse speed in the game was the same as in Windows.
If you use one of these teams (or all the teams together), then the list the following in the shortcut properties for CS (example):
D: \ Games \ Counter-Strike \ hl.exe-game cstrike-noforcemparms-noforcemaccel-noforcemspd
Video Settings :
Resolution: The most common screen resolutions are 640x480; 800x600; 1024x768. For me personally, 640x480:). The choice of resolution is completely subjective. Sometimes it is due to your monitor's capabilities, as not all monitors support 100 Hz at high resolutions. The differences between the permissions are reduced to the number of pixels enclosed in each object on the screen. The size of models is identical for all permits.
Display Optimization:
At the moment the market there is a great set of monitor models from various companies, but ultimately all monitors can be divided into TFT (LCD, LCD) and CRT (cathode-ray tube). Traditionally, CRT monitors are optimally suited for games, though TFT and overtake them every year. As you know, one of the main disadvantages of TFT monitors is their inability to work in the mode of 100 Hz. Direct impact on FPS. If your monitor is working in a mode of less than 100 Hz, hence, the maximum number of frames per second (FPS) in the game will be equal to the established number of cycles per second. For example, at 60 hertz, the maximum number of FPS is equal to 60. To circumvent this problem, turn off vertical sync (Vertical Synchronization-Sync) driver settings of your graphics card.
FPS (frames per second):
http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8...ikesource6.jpg
The maximum number of FPS when deselected developer is 100. Naturally, not all of the game goes smoothly, and the question of performance is one of the most urgent. If you have low FPS, above all, read the previous section (if you have not already done so). Since there are a great many factors that affect performance in the game (from the old iron and heat, to the problems with the software) to cover them all the author did not take the risk.
Others useful Configuration :
Parameters of sight:
- cl_crosshair_size value (Small Medium Large or 1 2 3) - size
- cl_crosshair_color x x x"- X's represent the values of RGB: first X is responsible for the red, the second was yellow and the third - for the blue. To make it easier, a good example can be found here.
- cl_crosshair_translucent "value" - "transparency" sight; 1 means transparent and, consequently, 0 - opaque.
Since version 1.4, was introduced variable cl_dynamiccrosshair, which at a value of 1 automatically resize depending on the sight of actions performed by a player (for example, a jump precision weapons is reduced, and accordingly, the sight in proportion varies). When setting the parameter 0 size sight does not change under any circumstances. Parameters of sight, as well as screen resolution, are absolutely subjective and "ideal" option does not exist. It should be noted is that a large number of professional players use either small or large size of the sight and dynamiccrosshair 0. Again, one finds an ideal option for himself.

Most of the older mice / USB ports are not able to provide permanent 1000Hz, and since fluctuations negatively affect the feel, are used 500Hz, which are usually stable and one has a constant feeling mouse.
There are many positive points in using Intelli mouse series and which are not really possible to 1000Hz. I believe with all current models can be used Razer meanwhile 1000Hz, as this is only a difference of 1ms response time, it really is worth little.
So change your settings under him and enjoy the game.
