Playing on an LG vampiric server
Joining
You need Quake Live (Steam). Open the console with the ~ key and type:
/connect <server address>:27960
Your server admin gives you the address. If the server is listed, it also shows up in the in-game server browser; search for "lg" or "vampiric".
How it works
- You spawn with the lightning gun (and gauntlet), infinite ammo and 200 HP (100 HP on
lgvamp100servers). - Vampiric: every point of damage you deal heals you by the same amount. Health above 100 slowly decays (~1 HP per second).
- No knockback, no items, no fall or self damage.
- The server stays in warmup on purpose. There's no match to ready up for (F3 does nothing) and no scoreboard reset. Pair up with someone and duel, and switch partners whenever you like.
- Antilag (most servers): your hits register where you saw the enemy, up to about 240 ms ping. On
lgvamp_nolagservers you have to lead your shots by your ping.
Client settings people use for LG
These are client-side; type them in the console, or put them in baseq3/autoexec.cfg so they stick (Quake Live rewrites qzconfig.cfg). Ranges are from the x76 config guide; the values are preferences, not rules.
| Cvar | What it does |
|---|---|
cg_lightningStyle 1–5 |
beam look (Settings → Weapons → Lightning Style) |
cg_lightningImpact 0 / 1 |
sparks where the beam hits |
cg_impactSparks 0 / 1 |
hit sparks on players |
cg_drawGun 0–2, cg_gunX/Y/Z |
gun model visibility/position (less of the screen covered) |
cg_fov |
field of view |
cg_drawInputCmds 1 |
shows your key presses, useful for checking your strafing |
cg_enemyHeadColor etc. |
bright enemy colors, e.g. 0xFF0000FF |
r_fullbright 1 |
flat bright walls (easier to track the enemy) |
No-beam LG: some players use a "No LG Beam" workshop add-on with cg_lightningStyle 3. That Steam workshop item has been removed, and servers here run sv_pure 1, so don't count on it working.
Practice tips
- The x76 strafe-aim guide covers the technique LG duels are about: keep the mouse steady, track by strafing with the keyboard and correct small amounts with the mouse.
- Practice alone: ask an admin for a bot (
addbot hunter 5). Bots jump around a lot, which makes them a fair tracking target, but they don't fight well in this mode.
