All of the crosshairs are off center.

Thanks for the quick reply! Worked like a charm

@The Wanderer Yes its possible.
Here's a small example: bind "k" "cl_drawViewModel 0; r_fov 100"

You need to add ; between commands. Remember that.

Hi! Is there a way to bind two or more commands to a key? I can bind a command to a key but I don't know how to bind multiple commands, if even possible.

r_renderwaterviewfx does not work for me :(

I've noticed that Quake Enhanced includes a 'nomonsters' console command, set to either 1 or 0, unlike notarget, but when I set it to 1, it doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to function properly?

Now do one for Quake II. The r_fov command doesn't change anything. :'(
