Gah, my system config keeps resetting

[I cant spell u]

Every time I go into system and set the texture detail to the maximum it either goes back to what it was or itll stay and then when I restart the game itll go back to where it was. How do I keep it from resetting its self? I doubt this has to do with my problem but im just using the demo.

You can try making your q3config read only after putting the commands in manually. Right click it > properties and check read only. or maybe its already read only, and thats why it resets.

It saves everything else except for the texture thing.

i've had a similar problem with ra3, even when i set q3config to read only.. my solution was to copy my entire config into my autoexec.cfg and set that to read only.

Could someone just post the console command variable that sets the texture detail to the maximum and filter trilinear? Thanks.

r_picmip "0"

and

r_textureMode "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR" (doesnt need to be uppercase).

I put it in my autoexec and my shortcut and it still resets..

Must be video driver settings (texture quality preference).

are you loading a mod from that shortcut?
if you are it will exec your baseq3 cfg first, or any autoexec you have in your baseq3 dir. best thing to do is copy the cfg you want to use from whatever mod into your baseq3 dir.

also check for multiple instances of r_texturedepth or whatever in both configs.

If you want the video settings to stay at whatever you have them at, you have to make sure to load the mod from a .bat file that you've created to load the mod with.....otherwise it reads the baseq3 q3config.

If the mod is loaded from a .bat it reads the autoexec, and the last settings that were made the last time you played that particular mod. When loading a mod for the first time, it's always going to read what ever settings are in the baseq3 folder's q3config


How to make a .bat:

Cut -n- paste:

@cd..
@quake3.exe +set fs_game osp

to a notepad, replacing "osp" with whatever the mod's folder name is, and name the notepad "modname.bat"

Than put the .bat file that you've just created within the mod's folder that you just made it for. Make a shortcut from it to your desktop (or wherever).

Double click it.....hence always use that and keep settings


Hope that works for you.....it works for me =)
