Returning to Kreedz 10–15 years – need some help getting back into the game
Hey everyone!
I'm coming back to Kreedz after almost 10-15 years away. I just wanted to relive the old days, have some fun and enjoy the game like I used to. However, quite a bit of time has passed, and I've honestly forgotten a lot of things about the game and how everything used to work. I've got a few questions and would really appreciate some help from the community.
1. Game configuration and essential fixes
I remember that back in the day, most players used custom config.cfg / userconfig.cfg files with various tweaks and commands. There was also something called MouseFix, which was supposed to fix certain mouse-related issues - like a codex or something that we change within windows..
Could someone share their current config or point me towards the most important fixes I should apply? Essential commands / in-game and steam launch options / anything that will be helpful.
Basically, what are the must-have tweaks for a proper CS 1.6 setup nowadays.
2. Weird server browser issue
I'm having a strange problem when trying to join servers.
No matter which server I select from the server browser, I always end up connecting to the same Zombie Mod server (some Russian server). What's even stranger is that when I refresh the information for seemingly any server, its IP address changes. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is this a known issue, and how can I fix it?
3. strafe sync issues
This is connected to jumping itself - it used to be my biggest problem.
I remember that even back in the day I struggled with getting good sync on my first strafe. No matter what technique I tried, my first strafe sync was usually around 30%, whereas I believe it should ideally be closer to 15% (or at least significantly lower).
Now that I'm back, I feel like my old muscle memory is actually working against me. I suspect I'm overdoing my first strafe or holding the movement for too long.
Do you have any advice on how to break old habbits and relearn proper technique from scratch? Any specific drills, tutorials or tips that helped you improve your first strafe sync?
I'd really appreciate any help.Thanks in advance, and it's good to be back!

Welcome back!
1. Game configuration and essential fixes
Well, nowadays there's not really any needed CFG or file. I simply go with m_filter 0 and m_rawinput 1 to avoid mouse acceleration.
However, most people play on the Pre-25th Anniversary Beta, especially if you plan to record.
2. Weird server browser issue
I'm not 100% sure if it's the same case, but back then, these kind of "viruses" (which were in reality just binds hidden in your config) was to put the command unbindall in console and then going to Options > Keyboard and selecting Use defaults. You can try if that does the work.
3. Strafe sync issues
This is something people experience a lot, especially when not using the same keyboard. Luckily, I didn't suffer this problem, so I didn't have the need to re adapt, but if I were you, I'd simply play the game, and when practicing longjumps I'd go for a low number of strafes, but I believe I'm not the best to help in this field.
Hope this helps!
After you set up the game like rawe described, make sure to follow these rules without the exceptions:
Community > Rules > Demo - https://kreedz.com/rules#demo
..where you have also a plenty of other information if you are interested about Cups, LJ records, maps, website, discord server (would suggest you to join us there too) etc.

I've been thinking about approaching this the same way you would learn to play the guitar: start at a very slow pace and gradually increase the speed as you become more comfortable and confident.
I think this would be extremely helpful for learning the basics from scratch and, most importantly, developing the correct technique from the beginning.
Does anyone know if there's a way to slow down the game using a plugin or addon while still tracking jump statistics? For example, I could start at 20% speed and gradually increase it until I reach the full, normal speed.
It seems like a pretty effective way to learn and build proper muscle memory. What do you guys think?
Hi BigMikey, I know how it feels. Welcome back : D

Probably there are some Slowmotion hacks but be very careful with it. Don't ask it from the users, sharing cheats might be punishing, even if you find it use it only for personal purposes.
back in the day there was something like KZHack - but it did not allow to see the stats after the jump.
I wouldnt treat it as cheat - for me it seems more like a metronome for longjumps

In my opinion it can create a comfort zone and generate bad habits, but it’s up to you.
Cheers
This question is being asked more and more often. We should implement some legit hack for the players interested into this :D
