FPS FOR LIVE2003

[WalleO]

Someone please remind me how to enable and see the frames per second from within live. I remember it had to do with adding "`" to the xstartup in the cscripts folder but i don't know where to put it. and when the console finally shows up in the game, i dont know what to type in to get the fps. thanks

first of all, browse to "YourLive2003Directory/main/cscripts/". in there, you should see a file named xstartup.cfg. open it with notepad and replace everything in it with this:

Code: Select all

// This script file is executed automatically on startup.
//

// Building internal game function table...
exec xgamefnc.cfg

// Load device default-file table.
exec xdevcfgs.cfg

// Default render configuration
exec render.cfg

// Binding generic global keyboard bindings.
// The "global" user is for global keyboard bindings, like tilde, escape, etc
setbinduser GLOBAL

// Keyboard front-end key mappings

bind +K_TILDE CONSOLE

bind +K_ESC      GPAUSE
bind +K_ENTER   GCONTINUE

bindalias SCREENSHOT "ren_screengrab"
bind +K_F12 SCREENSHOT

// Debug bindings...
bindalias BREAK "break"
bind +K_F11 BREAK

print "Autoexec Complete!"

now, while in the game, press the tilde key (~) to bring up the console. once the console is up, type "r_showfps 1" to display the fps. to turn off the fps display, type "r_showfps 0" in the console menu.

its usually around 40-45 in a 5-on-5 game

thanks a lot hotshot. I usually get around 60-75 fps frames per second on a 5 on 5 game

That's pretty good.
What computer and graphics card do you have?
What settings in Live 2003?

Impressive spec. Pretty expensive too i might add!
I think you could easily go 4XAA and 16XAF with very little performance loss.
Just out of curiosity what kind of framerates do you get once you turn reflection to high? On my rig (xp1800+, radeon 9500pro) it brings my framerate down on average 15fps or so. Killer.

I tried it and i was surprised. I get about 55-60fps with the reflection set to high, everything else maximum and the FSAA set to 4x. it makes the game look like a whole diffferent game.
