Please explain the mouse acceleration values
I want to experiment with the mouse settings.
I am playing with low sense to aim more accurately, but I cannot turn 180° with one mouse flick. I wonder if it is possible to be able to increase the mouse speed after a specific angle turned. E.g. after i turned my mouse 90 degrees in one movement i want the sensitivity to be increased/accelerated by amount x.
Could anyone please explain the mouse sensitivity options? There is:
Acceleration
Exponent
Acceleration Offset

How do these values influence the mouse sense? Is there a formula? What does Acceleration Offset with a value of e.g. 4 do?

Given a specific distance you move the mouse, without any accel you will rotate the same amount no matter how faster you move it. With accel (exponent > 1), you will rotate further the faster you move the mouse (still only moving it the same distance).
The Accel Offset basicaly specifies a threshold until which the mouse movement / rotation stays linear (= without accel) and above that speed the accel kicks in.

It's a similar system that Quake 3 / Quake Live has. I'm not sure if the values translate 1:1.

Guess I'll have to try it out and experiment with it.
Is there a console command to change the mouse sense, acc exponent and acc offset?
I don't want to go for a huge amount of setting tries with having to go into options, change, back into game, try, back into options, change, back, try. Using console commands would be much faster.

I assume the following.
Imagine a "sensitivity" [y=f(x)] over "mouse movement speed" [x] diagram.
The set options sensitivity is 1.
If acceleration is off, y is always the set value no matter which mouse movement speed currently is.
If acceleration is on, y=x^e, where e is the exponent you set.
If e is set to 1 y=x^1, the sensitivity will proportionally increase over mouse movement speed
If e is set to 2 y=x^2, the sensitivity will exponentially increase over mouse movement speed.
If e is set to 2 y=x^2 and Offset is 3.6, the sensitivity will be 1 until 3.6 and then jump to the exponentially increased value of x^2.

I don't know if this is correct.
