And if you have read that and answered im impressed and THANK YOU

r_gamma at 1.4 will make everything seem brighter. It does wash out the colors a bit and personally I think it looks ugly.

r_intensity is the “overbright” effect that q3 engines use. Its like gamma, but its scaled to make bright things seem brighter whereas dark things stay the same. Having this at 1.4 will make things seem brighter as well.

Both of these values default to 1. You can change these in console, but you will have to do a vid_restart command to see the difference.

r_vertexLight shades worldpolys by varing the shading between vertices in brushes. Its much easier on your video card to draw these instead of layering lightmaps, so you do get a small performance increase. But it gets rid of some shadow detail and makes the lighting seemed washed out. I didn’t think you could use this option with ET anymore, but I could be wrong.

hmmm Thanks it sorted some of it out but Not the bits i wanted… I tried taking a screen shot but it looked FINE on that :’(

So i go bed now downloading my Brand new ET That should sort it

I have deleted most the script off my Autoexec.cfg now so it looks like this, theres nothing bad in there is there???

//
// Stats & Topshots Script
//
bind “p” “vstr statisticsall”
set statisticsall “vstr statistics”
set statistics “+topshots;+stats;set statisticsall vstr statistics2”
set statistics2 “-topshots;-stats;set statisticsall vstr statistics”
//

//Zoom mini map

bind - “mapzoomin” //zooms compass map in
bind = “mapzoomout” //zooms compass map out
//

//
// Suicide-Script
//
bind “del” “kill”

The lesson here is to check out these settings to make sure you know what they do before you drop them into your autoexec.cfg . Ifurita’s website has a nice article talking about the different r_ options and what they do. Check it out and you can write your own autoexec to make the graphics look just like you want them. It also has some excellent articles about various scripting commands.

About tweaking…

I must warn… i have done a lot of tweaking in my past… but with ET u have to watch out…some settings might make the game EVEN slower…even u think it will make it faster… ( thats my experience anyway)

allthough intensity and gamma is offcourse standard tweeks…

[colic]

If you ever have probvlems with graphics and want to go back to the original graphics you had delete the autoexec and your ETconfig files then load up wolf again.

Alot easier then reinstalling/re-downloading

Here is an RTCW-centric article on tweaking:

Here are the graphical tweaks I use in ET for lighting
