Quake3World

Hey, I am looking for settings to get back to something a bit easier on the eyes.

I used to run with a high picmip/gamma/vertex ect and would like to get as close as I can to that washed out, even look. I can stay fairly steady in the 50-60fps range right now with everything turned down as low as possible but the server side bob (WTF?!) settings and lingering shadows and such are making me sick.

So can it be done? What needs to be tweaked?

This is my autoexec.cfg. You could try it and see if it helps? Make a txt file, call it autoexec.cfg, paste this in it and save. If you want to see your weapons, change ui_showgun to 1.

seta image_preload "1"
seta image_useCache "1"
seta image_lodbias "0"
seta image_cacheMinK "2048"
seta image_useCompression "1"
seta image_useNormalCompression "2"
seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "0"
seta image_useAllFormats "1"
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "1"
seta image_cacheMegs "256"
seta image_roundDown "1"
seta image_downSizeLimit "8"
seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "8"
seta image_downSizeSpecularLimit "2"
seta image_downSizeBump "1"
seta image_downSizeSpecular "1"
seta image_downSize "1"
seta image_forceDownSize "1"
seta image_anisotropy "0"
seta image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST"
seta r_brightness "1"
seta r_shadows "0"
seta r_gamma "2.0"
seta ui_showGun "0"
seta g_skipItemShadowsMP "1"

Those were the only ones I changed and they made a huge difference, definitly seem to be the picmip equivilents. Thanks. :icon32:

Excellent. There's a couple of shadows commands there too cos you mentioned about lingering shadows.

And those commands with '8', you can mess with the numbers to make it even fuglier. The problem is, the lower the value the worse it looks when you shoot a rocket or use the LG. What we need now is some form of nomip to counter that. 8 is about as low as I can go without it looking too bad but even now the LG shaft is very wide.

Yeah playing with it a bit more I think I may be able to live with 6, have to test it some more against ppl but that can wait till tomorrow. :icon32:

Not sure if the gamma/brightness/lightscale settings will help any but the shadows are fairly limited now anyway on the one dm map I ran around.

Ah soo much easier on the eyes... :icon25:

I am sure the first good mods will nomip plasma/lg/smoke ect for us.
