Make input more reactive in singleplayer
- Since the game's built-in server runs at 20 Hz by default, it may exhibit a noticeable delay when pressing keys. This is especially noticeable on high refresh rate displays. To solve this, the server tick rate can be modified to be similar to the client FPS (
com_maxfps
). For example, if you usecom_maxfps 120
:
Edit configuration files[citation needed] |
---|
snaps 120 # Client packet fetch rate. Default value is 20. Should match sv_fps for optimal gameplay. sv_fps 120 # Server tick rate. Default value is 20. cl_maxpackets 120 # Client tick rate. Default value is 30. 125 is the highest allowed value. This value can be safely increased even without touching the server FPS. Notes

Controller support | Reads Joystick axes as buttons. Handy for mapping the Right and Left triggers for different button, but not good for using the right analog stick for looking and aiming due to the engine it uses (Quake 3 engine). Controls for the left analog stick is governed by what is mapped to the arrow keys on the keyboard. | |
Full controller support | For XInput support, users will need both the Jedi Academy - Outcast mod for Jedi Academy and the OpenJK source port. Note: OpenJK is in an incomplete state, but is updated regularly. |

- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/6030/
. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (6030) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
- ↑ Setting a cap higher than 85 FPS has a minor effect on physics calculations, e.g. characters jump slightly higher.

- IdTech 3's automatic texture compression uses the GPU's S3TC texture compressor to convert the 24/32-bit textures to a compressed format (usually DXT5, although some source ports can do BC7). Other IdTech 3 games have the option to disable this in the menu, but JO and JA have no such menu option, but the feature still exists.
