If you can notice a difference, it works. If not, it doesn't. That's how that cvar works.

I set a different value from 0 to 10, the default 0.0100, changes in the game and wolfcamql have not noticed.

That's really good news! It means you're not hopelessly lost. ;)

lol

This is super science. Wire in you brain. You see strange on the very thing it is not. Test in this please very that from the placebo is some causes, like a placebo that a substance of inert is not that does correctly something cause.

/bind mouse2 say haha yeah haha

huge muscles

Sponge keeps telling me that it actually has an effect, but only at certain values and it depends on some other cvars being set.

Apparently it is used for some internal testing purposes, but he won't tell me anything else.

I've continued to assert that he's just messing with me.

He's right, you have to set r_delusional 1 and cg_retarded > 0.9.

Don't forget to \vid_restart after setting all cvars.

He could be telling the truth. I'm sure if someone was really motivated they could use a debugger or hex-rays or somet to determine if it has any action other than just holding a value.

I actually thought for a minute about attaching a debugger to the process and step through one or two frames and see what changes. Apart from the obvious question of not having the symbols so we can know what each address/pointer represents, there are so many moving parts in the engine that would be almost impossible to get to any definite conclusion. :)

Not necessarily. You might be able to just make a generic cvar with set and then compare its mechanism from one change to the next. If cg_placebo is identical then it likely does nothing.

Man! I just realized how effective and powerful the god damned thing is!

Have you noticed we're actually contemplating debugging QL to check if something that apparently does nothing, actually does some thing?

Its diabolical, I tell you! DIABOLICAL!

Shrug, sometimes you can learn a lot from investigating dumb things.

True. :)

It's a roundabout way to telling you that he has no clue at all.

I was hoping that this feature will make the game more smoothly, regardless of the quality of the Internet connection. And also make a smoother viewing offline demos in wolfcamql. I'm looking for a long time such a cvar that could do it. cg_demosmoothing,errordecay,cl_packetdub,cg_demosmoothingangles, r_swapinterval does not help for smoothing offline demos in wolfcamql. Perhaps such a method does not exist, and if the quality of the demo is bad, then nothing can be done.

AFAIK, the only way to do what you want is by rendering the movie to avi at a higher framerate and then speed it up back to normal on a video editor.

Edit: Try rendering a demo at 600FPS, reduce speed 10x in the video editor you use and see what happens.

I did this and many other more subtle things. But I realized that all the useless programs editing and high FPS, if the demo is not smooth. It is necessary to deal with the smoothness of the demo in the first place.

Then I have absolutely no idea, except maybe this: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1297234

It's for Q3 only, but since it is .NET, you can try to disassemble it and change it to support QL demos. ;)

Thank , but I've tried it, I converting dm73 to 68 in qldt, It does not help, but does physics ridiculous, same cg_demosmoothing 2 or more

Do you actually know what a placebo is?

I'm more surprised that you do.

I want to know is whether this cvar is to improve the smoothness? If yes, then how to use this cvar with any other cvars that make cg_placebo cvar work

placebo - look it up

placebo <3

lol

Gee wonder why....

think it was pretty childish to have him banned

They were banned when I found the profile ,I have to assume either they were like this generally, or Sophia sent the demo in.

LOL, it probably is a joke, but it could actually be a renamed cvar that has an intended purpose, though functionally it's either broken or it's effect is so minimal to be nonexistant in testing.

cg_placebo is placebo effect

cg_placebo 9001
