QuakeLive-like mouse acceleration

[Squid]

In competitive-level Quake, usage of mouse acceleration is very common due to Quake Live's implementation of mouse acceleration being very high-quality, very consistent and very customizable. The povohat driver recreates this at a windows-level, although I believe this is not as perfect as an in-game implementation as it has OS compatibility issues along with difficulty of setup. An ingame implementation would allow competitive players to have the benefits of lower sensitivity while being able to flick like a high-sensitivity player.

This video should document the different settings provided in Povohat's driver fairly well.
I do not believe this feature should be remotely priority over anything else, although I do believe it would be something very nice to be added for those Quake players comfortable with mouse acceleration.

Interesting. So QL has this sort of thing built in? Has anyone tested the povohat driver with AoT yet?

I'm open to adding something like this, though you're right it probably wouldn't be a high priority right now (though we'll see how many likes this thread gets).

Yeah, a bunch of console commands control it.
Exact information can be viewed here. I believe there's more precise information on the formulas somewhere on ESR, if you look around. I'll attempt to dig it up later. If I find anything, I'll edit this post.

edit:

* 12:14a ** (injx) if B is your base sens, then your accelerated sens is B + (A(v-c))^(P-1), where A is mouseAccel, c is the offset and P is the power
* 12:14a ** (injx) (v-c) is bounded from below at 0, and the whole thing is bounded from above at the sensCap
* 12:15a ** (injx) v is the mouse speed obviously
