g_unlagged is the option. Activate it on the server with g_unlagged 1. In order to get it in Tremulous, you need a recent game QVM like Lakitu7's.

Unlagged is a special technique that makes it possible to give every player a fair chance to hit the enemy, even with higher pings. It makes hitting with instant hit weapons (like machinegun, lightning, railgun) as easy as on LAN.

actually that part is completely server side too. in some qvms (notably anything based on recent code from lakitu7) you can disable backward reconcillation for your own hittests with

setu cg_unlagged 0 however things like cg_projectilenudge and cg_optimizeprediction are extremely helpful.
