r_singlelight gets massive fps gain?

[Scourge]

I can't wait to try this as I have an older card atm. FX 5500 OC. Don't have the game yet, but this sounds like a godsend as I don't imagine I'll get more than 20 or so fps. I hope it's allowed otherwise not much MP for me untill I upgrade next month.

odds, someone on esreality reported the same thing. As soon as he got fragged ( or fragged someone) the screen went black. Seems to be an unstable command at the moment.

I think someone said that you could play in Warmup mode with no problem, try that maybe?

[alright]

Wouldn't this knacker the shadows in game?

Play a Tom Clancy game if you want shadows...this is Quake.

[Foo]

Oh yeah, that's a flawless argument you have there, 'alright'. :icon22:

How about: Play Quake 3 if you want low graphics detail. This is Quake 4.

hmm didn't quake3 lay the smackdown on then current cpu/gpu's when it first came out?

[Foo]

Yep

The shadows tell you where the person is before you see them dumb ass. Which makes it a perfectly legal cheat.

[Dusted]

What? no r_picmip 7!?

[corpse]

Granted, Ive just starting playing, but I cant see how to change those commands. The tilde key does nothing, unlike Q3.

Do you have to edit the config file each time?

[worf]

CTRL+ALT+~ == Console.

[corpse]

Thanks. Guess I should read the F*%King booklet that came with it one of these days.

Yep

One of the few reasons I haven't given up on the game after feeling such immediate disappointment.

[bikkeldesnikkel]

when i first got quake,i remember i played it on a 133mhz w/ 32mb ram. i had between 0-20 fps and a constant 999 ping. but i also remember loving it even tho the problems. ive played well over half a year on that setup, plenty too hehe.

[xchaser]

This is the most contrasting show of what the command does I could find:


1600x1200, Ultra, Bumpmapping, specular, shadows, particle effects, 8xAA

512 DDR, AthlonXP 2600+, Geforce4 MX 440 (AGPx4)






Oh, and the pictures were on Q4DM1 in the area that gives me the least FPS.

hey postal where can I get the program to do the image like with the size under it.

Those thumbnails get automatically generated when you upload the images to imageshack.us

Tried this, just makes everything pitch black apart from the lights. I played with r_singlelight (trying everything from -1, 0, 1, 10, 75), r_useSimpleInteraction, and r_lightDetailLevel 0/6/9. None of them resulted in anything I could actually use for playing, other than r_singlelight -1, the default.

helo guys
i have all black walls but only on server dedicated internet. If i create local serv its all okay, but why on internet it's dosnt work ? =/

[sch1]

Theres a "quick fix" by a person called dr4ch, he made a map pack of all the maps that come with the game and edited them to only have the singlelight mode, these will work online and there is no need for commands.
Remember though, just a quick fix, really do hope Raven/Random Modder can put forward a solution which is more convenient to us players

[dzjepp]

Yeah and that means you have to download custom maps, and autodownloading is fux0red right now. It would be best if Raven 'fixed' this officially in a patch. And you would avoid confusion with having 10 different maps of same kind.

[R00k]

Yea, I think that's a bad idea.

[dave:p]

this is only way to enable one light on internet server? i dont known why its work on local and isnt on internet...
so, thanks for a lot i think we must waiting for first patch like Point Relase or smth :>
