XDWC - how to read the meter? - BuddyFriendGuy - 10-19-2020 Xonoticians, I haven't done defrag for a while and I noticed there's this new color meter when I join XDWC servers. It has color bars and a needle bar that expand to the left and right. How do I read it? (Maybe it was answered somewhere already but I don't know how to search for it.) RE: XDWC - how to read the meter? - Halogene - 10-26-2020 The implementation of that bar is new to me as well. I would expect that you get the best acceleration if you manage to keep it as close as possible to the bright green line but on the green side of the meter. Would be helpful if someone would explain it in a bit more detail just to make sure :o) RE: XDWC - how to read the meter? - BuddyFriendGuy - 10-26-2020 (10-26-2020, 03:43 AM)Halogene Wrote: The implementation of that bar is new to me as well.

I'm attaching two screenshots -- hopefully it shows all available marks to help with the discussion. These are the marks I've seen (I think):

RE: XDWC - how to read the meter? - _para - 11-01-2020 Or put simply: You have to keep the moving green bar centered by strafing in either direction. The rest is more or less eyecandy. The yellow is just the mirrored to the side you'ge not using because the dev loves symmetry. As long as you're inside the green area you're making speed. If you're in the purple you're losing speed. And the green bar marks the spot where you gain the most speed/have highest acceleration. And the drop in accel. from the sweet spot to the sides is quite significant. An optimal run thus means: Green bar is centered the whole time and you switch strafing sides precise in no time. RE: XDWC - how to read the meter? - BuddyFriendGuy - 11-03-2020 Thank you, @_para. This is super helpful. |
