Sorry, but I think the command you are searching for doesn’t exist. Because how should the command know how differentiate between indoor and outdoor? Just an example, would be the 2nd forward spawn on Sewer be classified as indoor or outdoor? If there was one, all pro players also would have used it and you could find it a config somewhere. Never heard of it so far. I even remember one player having a lighting toggle therefor as kind of workaround.

QW has always had the problem of unbalanced lighting, so you have to make a choice either way. Personally I would go for the best view indoors as it can be very dark. On the other hand you have a small disadvantage of outdoor being too bright sometimes. I had my game so bright that I could barely see the deploy model of my turret on Salvage. :smiley: But well, you have to get used to it.

By the way in this forum you can use [ CODE ] [ /CODE ] tags to post your config so it’s better readable. :wink:

You can still assign different lights to different keys and select the light you want to use or tie different values to a number of keystroke for one only key. 2 or 3 values should perfectly do.

What i have in my binds cfg:
bind “.” “r_brightness 1.80” “” “default”
bind “,” “r_brightness 1.60” “” “default”
bind “-” “r_brightness 1.20” “” “default”

Anyway the lighting is somehow strange for me, will maybe post screenshot later. For me certain objects seems to “glow” like the ground when someone is using the Lighting gun but in an extreme way

The game can differentiate between indoor and outdoor areas to a certain extent as these areas are defined by the mapper but there aren’t any cvars relating to them.

Unsure what you mean, but you could check the r_Brightness and r_Gamma (I know I changed them both)

(Kl3ppy) #7

I would suggest to create a cycle so you can easily switch the brightness/gamma with just 1 button.

(Snotling) #8

Yeah, that’s the best way imo.

That would work. E.g:


bind "<key1>" "toggle r_Brightness 1 1.1"
bind "<key2>" "toggle r_gamma 1 1.7"

ye i guess that could work, or i could just get an ips display, lol, ive got crappy hardware.
