r_fullbright "1"

thanks, that did solve the problem in hand, but now it looks like this instead.

r_vertexlight "0"

and aaaa plus for you.

Dunno why people don't use fullbright :(

b/c it looks like shit?

Yeah, like those shitty shadows look so good, especially if you use picmip!

better than all the textures blending together and raping the shit out of depth perception

If you've no depth perception in QL without those shadows you should probably give up life already.

r_picmip 5/6 should give you enough depth perception if you really need it.

Yes, I should definitely kill myself b/c some idiot on the internet disagrees with me.

There's a reason why no one good uses those settings. They're detrimental to your ability.

And why the fuck would I want to use picmip 5 + fullbright 1, when picmip 16 + fullbright 0 looks way better.

Yeah, deffo detrimental when that's more or less what vertexlight looked like for years and years...

Nobody good ever won with that though right?

People also won tourneys using ridiculously high accel and ball mice. That doesnt make those things good. Nowadays, mostly everyone has wised up and stopped using silly settings/setups.

Hah, go on then, please describe the essentials of a perfect setup for us since you're so wise.

Easily visible bright models (not r_ovebrightbits 0) and depth perception are a good start.

Also I didnt read your previous posts carefully before, but now that I have I should point out that vertexlighting in q3 never made the game look like that. Not even close. It simply removed the self-shadowing but kept the rest of the lighting intact. Fullbright 1 + brightbits 0 + vertex 0 on the other hand completely removes all the lighting and shading from the map. And I'm pretty sure that no one good has ever used that retarded combination.

Now that id has finally fixed vertexlighting in ql so that it works the same as it did in q3 you can remove the shadows w/o making your game look like a sea of shit.

It's only on certain maps at the moment though, when it's on "all" maps, I'll use that obviously.

The models are bright enough with brightbits 0 and fullbright and it doesn't remove depth perception at all. I've certainly seen configs for many top players that had fullbright "1" (That's how I "discovered" it in the first place, but until cnq3 it would reset and vertexlight worked properly anyway!).

silly? x(

Is it also possible to have this effect without random things being lit up?

Picture please, quite a few commands fuck up the fullbright look.

r_mapoverbrightbits "0"
r_overbrightbits "0'
r_lightmap "0"

Try those!

pretty sweet, the problem was r_overbrightbits. It resulted in item spawns and random wall sections being lit up. The only side effect of setting r_overbrightbits to 0 is that the crosshair darkens as well. But I'll see if that really matters

Doesn't on mine, did you use mapoverbirghtbits "0" at the same time?

Yes (it's in my cfg).

it goes from:

Where in the first pick you see a bright crosshair, enemies and the lit up quad area. In the second screenshot this lit up area's are fixed, but everything lost some brightness.

Ah right yeah, that's the only problem, but I don't mind it :(

how does it look pls ?

Like that but with solid colours and no shadows.

final result like this

considering an higher picmip but it felt way too brown that way :p

what do you have against brown?

let's not go there

He hates UPS.

Could you please post all your visual cvars? I really like how that looks.

wow youve pushed ugliness to its limits :P

just to show how it looks like :P
I use low picmip http://i46.tinypic.com/2hpnib9.jpg

it's called banding dumbass!! now stop aliasing!

curse you. Now I applied all those changes and my aim is like 0 ;(

success :D!

Can I get a link to that UI you are using ?

it's fox's hud with some minor modifications, http://www.fojji.se for the original foxhud

alright gonna try it out.

Quake lego. :| High res picmip 0 with all gfx candy on ftw!

There is gfx candy in a game based on the q3 engine? :X

You... i... i mean... but...

Touché, villain.

:D
