What's your mouse box size?

Post by Bambino »

What's your mouse box size? And why?

Are you a tiny mouse size for awesome dodging? Or the box mouse box for precise jumps?

It depends on the map, but I like to have a fairly small mouse box size.

29

I have an opaque radar using half the screen, so to have a reasonable mouse box size, I need to make it extra large.

My mouse box size is -2.
I'm assuming that means it's just slightly smaller then the default size :)

It used to be smaller because I found I turned faster and figured I'd get used to the sensitivity. I never did. :roll:

To find the size of your mousebox, just open your config.cfg file. Find the line that looks like this:

Code: Select all

set mouseboxsize 29
The "29" is your mousebox size. -2 would mean you have a mousebox with negative size, and that's clearly impossible. :)

No. 0 is the standard size. Try a -2 or something.

Mine is -6 right now.

That is where I went to look. :P
Much easier than counting all the dashes in your GU Settings. :)

It's not impossible. It's a perfectly legitimate mousebox size.

Not to mention that dodging skill is pretty independent of mouse box size. Everyone has their own style.

My mouse box is 2. I like it that way because if i turn at my fastest speed its perfect for me for dodging. Also because the more negative i go the more wild i get on my jumps.
