Console Command List/M
| Command | Default | Cheat? | Help Text |
|---|---|---|---|
| m_customaccel | 0 | Custom mouse acceleration (0 disable, 1 to enable, 2 enable with separate yaw/pitch rescale).
Formula: mousesensitivity = ( rawmousedelta^m_customaccel_exponent ) * m_customaccel_scale + sensitivity. If mode is 2, then x and y sensitivity are scaled by m_pitch and m_yaw respectively. | |
