-noforcemaccel
Reverts to
desktop mouse acceleration settings.For the most part (when it comes to gaming and precision
accuracy)
mouse acceleration is a fickle feature. The noforcemaccel command
will make sure Half-Life does
not try and manage mouse accel when
it is disabled in your windows options.
>> When to use? When mouse
acceleration is disabled on your desktop and you want the same
results for
your in game experience.
-noforcemparms
Reverts to desktop
mouse button settings.
What does that mean? Usually when you start up Half-Life
(or in
this case Counter-Strike) your mouse configuration
will switch to applicationmode, allowing the assignment
of keys
already assigned to your desktop (like mouse3). This variable
turns that feature OFF. There is really
no benefit to this
command, and in actuality it is quite buggy at times.
>>
When to use? When you are experiencing difficulty with
button assignments. A partfrom troubleshooting
this
command has no practical use, despite popular belief.
-noforcemspd / -noforcemspeed
Uses desktop mouse
speed settings. It forces Half-life to use whatever speed settings you
have applied to
your desktop via mouse properties. Whatever the
value, Half-Life will use it as guidance.
>> When to use? When you
want your out of game speed to set the bar for your in game
sensitivity. Think of
sensitivity as a speed (de)amplifier.
