Excessive Plus has several new client cvars and commands, as well as some modifications to existing ones, which accounts for its many server side features. In this document you will find them all.

Variable list

com_maxfps

- Sets a cap of FPS that you Q3 client will not exceed. Maximum FPS is 125.

com_hunkmegs

- Sets a number of Megabytes (mb's) that your Quake 3 Client can use to load maps. Some maps need more memory. Maximum number is 128. Default is 56mb

r_displayrefresh

- Sets your Display Refresh rate in Quake III. Do not exceed the Display refresh rate your monitor can handle. If you do not know what Display refresh rate your monitor can handle, do not use this command.

cl_timeNudge

- This affects how your client processes the snapshots it receives.Normally the client compares one snapshot with the next and interpolates between the two.If you set this to a negative value, you can adjust the interpolation of snapshots to compensate for lag.The more negative timenudge you use, the more unsmooth other players will appear, but the less latency you will have.The hardcoded limit is between -30 and +30.You can use positive values of timenudge to affect snapshot interpolation with an opposite effect, making the game much smoother, although deliberately delayed.Timenudge only directly affects the latency of the incoming data and does not directly affect the data that you send to the server.
- A tip for using timenudge. If you are losing packets try adjusting timenudge until you get a thin blue line on your ping graph, at this setting it should give the feeling of a more smooth connection but just at the point where anymore nudge would be creating undesired prediction side effects and less timenudge, packetloss. Try to think of timenudge as a command which allows you to better sync yourself (when your connection is constantly bad) to a sever.

cg_cmdTimeNudge

cg_drawBBox

- Draws the enemy hitboxes on demos

cg_shadows

- Changes type of shadows: 0 - disable shadows; 1 - simple round shadows; 2 - figured shadows

cg_gibs

cg_drawrewards

cg_marks

- Removes marks, bullet holes, scratches and weapon fire effects from all terrains. Increases FPS

cg_drawfps

- Enables and Disables a HUD text that shows you how much FPS your Q3 Client has

cg_projectileNudge

- set to your average ping (this means also that you may need to change this value after you change server, to maintain the best experience). Default value is 0.

cg_projectilenudge is the new method of reducing lag and is compatible with delagged gameplay. When set correctly it enables you to assess when incoming projectiles are going to hit you in spite of your lag, enabling you to dodge them. It should be set to your average ping time (not half your ping like cl_timenudge). This enables a client prediction algorithm also, but for projectiles only and not for targets so you can hit them with delagged hitscan weapons.
Note that it is possible to use cl_timenudge together with cg_projectilenudge, but calculating to which values you should set them together is not intuitive and therefor not very practical, and aiming and firing hitscan weapons becomes more difficult too because you have to take the cl_timenudge value into account and lead (or even trail) your targets.
