Macro creation, cod ghosts sweetspots
Macro
Hey fellas!
I'm working on a little project lately, running into some problems, maybe some of the wiser contributors could help me finish.
Basically I'm attempting to find the sweet spot for the most popular guns. I have several macros and have probably tried over 50, all work well- but they're not perfect.
I switched to my g9x Logitech mouse I had on my PC with setpoint software to create the test macros- they allow me to enter precise DELAYs in milliseconds (ms) so I can be exact as possible while dialing these in.
I'm using the data from two sites.
Symthic.com - every stat you possibly need for every gun in ghosts.
http://megamodzplanet.com/rapid-fire.html- lists max shots per second of each gun
Example:
AK12 : 789 RPM (rounds per minute) / 60 = 13.15 shots per second
1000ms (or 1 second) / 13.15 = 1 shot every 76.05 ms
Should give me around 13 shots per second.
Sample macro:
Leftbuttondown
10 ms delay
LeftbuttonUP
76 ms delay
Repeat while pressed
This works, but it's much slower than firing full auto. Theoretically having the macro fire as close to the full RPM should be almost indistinguishable from firing full auto, just a touch slower. Also having the macro fire single shots, rather than full auto- increases bullet accuracy and lessens recoil. I believe this really increases your long range firefights. That's my goal.
QUESTION : If I'm going for a full 76 ms delay between shots, should I add both delays together? Or is my above macro actually 86 ms delay? In which case this would be closer?
Sample macro AK12:
Leftbuttondown
10 ms delay
LeftbuttonUP
66ms delay
Repeat while pressed
QUESTION: using the 2nd website: megamodz planet, about halfway down the page, It lists the maximum shots per second of the ak12 at 19.8 max sps. Anyone know why there is a difference between the two sites? Is one the listed guns specs (Symthic) and the 2nd (megamodz) the games actual CAP. Meaning guns can be fired faster than listed using rapidfire?? (That's actually a pretty interesting discovery I just had typing this)
If I use say 19 shots per second as a target in my next macro.
1000 ms / 19 = 52.63 ms
So 1 shot every 52.63 ms = 19 shots per second.
Sample ak12 macro at 19 sps:
Leftbuttondown
10 ms delay
LeftbuttonUP
52 ms delay
Repeat while pressed
Using this macro, the ak12 fires slightly faster than the original macro at 13 sps. But it is still not even close to the full auto firing with no macro.
So what else could be contributing to the slowness of these macros. Theoretically I should be able to use either of these macros and the gun should be indistinguishable from full auto. Yet they are noticeable slower.
Are my calculations wrong? Is there lag between my mouse and the game? Should I increase the leftbuttondown delay to maybe 20ms? Should I add both delays together to equal my target MS delay? 20 ms and 32 ms = target 52 delay? Or would I just use the delay after the leftbuttonUP for my target sps.
I also tried this:
Sample ak12 macro
Leftbuttondown
10 ms delay
LeftbuttonUP
10 ms delay
Repeat while pressed
Now, this is clearly not anywhere near any of the target sps. Theoretically it is 100 shots per second. It fires pretty **** fast, as close to full auto as I can tell, but it jams up, stops firing sometimes, so clearly it is hitting the cap.
Is anyone able to make sense of all this? I know it's a lengthy post, but I'm pretty detailed when it comes to these things! I really appreciate all the help.
