game profile: Starwars Battlefront 1
Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2010 3:18 pm
Hi all,
Here's my info from the iZ3D forum:
warning: this profile uses pop-out to make the in-game reticle usable. I think advanced users can tolerate/enjoy this but I'm unsure about 3D newbies.
If you're a big fan of "jetpack games" then I think this is the game for you because this is the best jetpack game I know of. IMHO, the Jet-Trooper is the star of the game but don't install the game update patch because it makes him reload slower and recharge his jetpack slower. It's a game balancing issue. I guess they thought he was too powerful but I disagree. More patch details here:

I think this game is an absolute blast and I'll put game tips in a separate post.
So anyway, I've been working on figuring out a good profile lately and I think I've got a good one now. It uses manual auto-focus meaning that a single keystroke changes your game-view at the same time that your 3d settings get changed. This is done by setting the 3d preset hotkeys to be the same as the game's view-changing keys. It's a little tricky but you'll get the hang of it. The trick is to know when to use the keys as toggles and when to not use them as toggles. In order to set this up properly, you need to change some of the game's key-bindings. Go to the game's control options screen and make these changes...
under infantry:
set View to "Q"
set Enter to "E"
under vehicle and starfighter:
set View to "E" and "C"
set Exit to "Q"
These 3 keys (Q, E, and C) are also your 3d preset hotkeys so that when you (E)nter a vehicle it will automatically have reduced settings that look good with the internal vehicle view although sometimes entering a vehicle will give you the external view instead. I don't know how to fix that but you can just hit E again and things will be good then. Just try to remember that your index finger controls interior/exterior vehicle views via E and C, and that Q is for your normal guy view although sometimes you can use E and C to help with sniping and 1st-person views. You have to decide that for yourself according to your own taste/tolerance. Also remember that while in an aircraft, you can bail-out while in-flight by double-tapping your exit key (Q), then ignite your jetpack and if your aircraft can hover, you can even re-enter it. Cool, huh? You can even enter a different friendly aircraft that's in-flight nearby. It's an in-flight aircraft-to-aircraft transfer and it's really cool although normally never useful/needed.
hmmm, this is getting long so I think I'll put the actual profile in a second post since it's also long, but before that, here's some more recommended control changes:
under infantry, set prone to "X"
under infantry, vehicle, and starfighter:
set "primary weapon next" to "mouse wheel down"
set "secondary weapon next" to "mouse wheel up"
set map to "tab"
Game Video Settings:
Shadows: Low or Off. Otherwise you get some weirdness.
All other video options seem fine on max.
Shutterglass mode works fine on modern systems ( >= 3GHz, 2GB ram, 8800GTS).
OK, that's it for this post, on to the profile info...
