[HL1/CS][Feature Request] Vsync toggle ingame option

[dagla]

I'd like to see an option in the video tab for the new gl_vsync command, there are already quite a few threads in forums about "how to disable the fps limit" in the games since this was introduced, I think it could help out a few people.

I guess it would be a good idea to remove the 16/32bit option as the game only runs in 32bit now, and replace it with a vsync tickbox maybe.

Good idea @AnAkin1, as you always are 32-bit in OGL I'll flip that UI to include a vsync checkbox.

yea, i just recently downloaded the beta for this game has anyone found a way to break the cap or any workaround for this im capped at sixty and i know i can reach 100fps, but unfortunately on a mac u cant tweak or mess around with the graphics card setting and in my poweradapter menu i dont have the "Advanced performance"/"highperfromance option" help.... i also have been running this game threw wine, and im capped at sixty there, since im using wine is there any other way to get around the 60 fps cap?

[alfred-valve]

open the console (hit "~") gl_vsync 0 fps_max 101 cl_updaterate 101 rate 30000

... profit!

@alfred-valve is there a way you could include a toggle for hud_fastswitch 1. This would be usefull too. You could include this under Advanced Settings in the Multiplayer tab.

thanks alfred ill try as soon as get home but is this only for the beta or does it work with my wine version of 1.6? ive been playing 1.6 and CZ for months now , (been playing for ten plus years actually, but bought a mac) so i figured out months ago on how to run it threw winetricks, so do these commands work in the wine version or just the beta and will it work for CZ as well or just 1.6 and remember im on a mac?

Only beta version for now, gl_vsync doesn't exist in the .gcf version of goldsrc.

[bfergus1]

so is there anyway for my wine version to break the fps barrier???? i mean the beta runs great dont get me wrong but there is no servers and i cant CZ which i like better than cs so do u have any ideas

[bfergus1]

cant play****

@alfred-valve, the HL1 engine doesn't allow a rate over 20000, just saying :P

[bfergus1]

i dont care about the rate, i use the rate 99999 and it works perfect i jsut wanted to know the vsync thing hopefully that gives me 99 fps has anyone tested this im not at home :( at work lol

[alfred-valve]

max rate will allow up to 100k in the next update, w00t.

Excuse the ignorance, what does rate do?
