/cg_shadows 0

/cg_shadows 0 doesnt make my shadows go away from buildings and trees in ET.
Maybe this command only works for RTCW? if so… how can i make the shadows go away? :disgust:

that’s something different, you want to remove the lightmap r_lightmap <1/0> I think, but ET works different, some textures will be removed also I think

Hmm i tried that one but it says: r_lightmap is cheat protected :eek:
The shadows are making my screen dark i hope i can still remove them… somebody knows how? :notworthy:

I think the “shadows” you are talking about are just darker textures. To brighten up the maps try -

r_intensity 1.5
r_mapoverbrightbits 3

and if its still not bright enough try increasing r_gamma a bit

cg_shadows only affects dynamic shadows (i.e. player shadows). It won’t remove the precompiled shadows on world geometry as these are baked into the lightmap data.

Thanks for letting me know Wils :drink:

removing building shows would be cheating… and lame

OMG …theres a shadow on the terrain, walls, and floor…i can’t see …i can’t see. How can i remove the shadows because i get owned with them and it seems to much like real life. Players hide in them and scare me when they jump out. At home i have a light in every corner and carry a flashlight with me everywhere i go. I’m lame and need everything overbright so i can get at least one kill and see into every corner…please noooo shadows. :frowning: :weird:

try turning up the brightness on your monitor also.

r_lightmap 1 shows you ONLY the lightmaps. It doesn’t remove shadows, it removes all the other textures. r_lightmap 0 (the default) is normal rendering. And yes, it is cheat protected.

LOL. BTW, Rivrstyx, are you are you working on a map for ET?
:lol:

(RivrStyx) #12

yeah i think so. Prob a Resurrection trilogy for campaign. Port the existing map over with some changes for ET and do 2 others. I was gonna do it for RTCW… got lazy though. :disgust:

AH, Sehr Gut!

That would be excellent. Your maps are some of the best, esp Lions Den.
Cant tell you how many hours I’ve spent on that map!

Godspeed!
