set cg_placebo to 1

bind MOUSE2 "+moveup"
bind space "+zoom"
seta cg_trueShotgun "1" <---- just looks so much better
seta cg_predictItems "0" <--- actually important, be sure to turn that off.
seta cg_drawgun "3" <--- especially with these gunX, gunY,gunZ values
seta cg_drawFullWeaponBar "1" <---- less distracting
seta cg_waterWarp "0" <--- hardly relevant


not sure if relevant, but r_textureBits is 32 by default.

seta model "anarki"

<------- bad ! no pro uses this.

I don't think that makes it bad necessarily.

It's a pretty quiet model and the sounds are not distracting.

cg_forceenemymodel bones

remove bind ` "toggleconsole"
remove bind ESCAPE "togglemenu"
remove bind ~ "toggleconsole"

These are hard-coded so aren't needed.

Remove unaliasall

..it used to be buggy. Might be fixed now, but I still don't trust it.

cg_trueShotgun "0" // I also recommend 1 like m1zzu did.

seta cg_gunZ "0"
seta cg_gunY "0"
seta cg_gunX "0" // Could consider -8, 2.7, and -10 respectively for thin LG if you like that effect.

seta cg_drawTeamOverlayOpacity "0.75 // Could consider 0 to remove its background. Effect is not for everyone.

seta cg_hudFiles "ui/hud.txt" // Default is fine, but there is also hud3 (big hud), and there are many fun/cool huds out there, like at qlhud.net. Something to play with if you're bored.

seta com_maxfps "125" // Could try 250, see if you like it.

seta cg_zoomScaling "1" // Try 0 for instant zoom.

seta cg_forceEnemyWeaponColor "0" // If you play a lot of CA, could consider 1 so that enemy grenades are more easily identified. There's also a team one (that uses teamuppercolor for the color), and for your own grenade color (cg_weaponcolor_grenade).

seta cg_shadows "0" // I recommend leaving this at 1 as it gives you information to predict with.

seta cg_zoomToggle "1" // I'd have to recommend 0, as it is slightly faster holding the button and releasing it, as opposed to pressing it, and then pressing it again. I think k1llsen uses zoomtoggle 1, and obviously he does not suck so it's clearly not any great hindrance.

seta cg_lagometer "2" // Can turn off unless you're diagnosing connection problems.

seta cg_drawGun "2" // Could try 3 and see if you like it

seta cg_drawFullWeaponBar "0" // Some people like this. I prefer leaving it at 1 so that the weaponbar has a more consistent appearance.

seta cg_crosshairHitStyle "2" // Perfectly fine. You could try 0 and see if you like it, and just go by the hitsounds.

seta con_height "1" // Seems a bit weird to have the console cover the screen like that. Default is half way (0.5)

seta cg_screenDamage "0x404040ff" // I recommend 0 as the colored flashes can be very distracting. The information you get about the direction of the shot is really vague.

seta cg_autoAction "0" // Use 1 to auto-record your games if you like.

seta r_textureBits "16" // This might not change anything. I would leave at 32.

seta r_gamma "1" // Seems a bit dark. Could try increasing a bit, with numbers like 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5. See if you like the effect. Another strategy is to increase r_mapOverBrightBits by increments of 1. You can also dampen the effect of mapoverBrightBits with r_mapOverBrightCap.

seta r_dynamiclight "0" // I'd still recommend 0, but you should know that there are cases when you will miss out on potentially valuable information because dynamiclights can go through walls, and those with powerups or flag carriers give off a bright glow that can sometimes be seen through the wall.
