Q3 colour/lighting settings help

[exxxie]

Huhu. I've recently upgraded by PC and get alot more fps now :O woohooo! But I'm having some config trouble :/

My config is fine for graphical tweaks and stuff and memory allocation etc. The main problem I'm having is with colour and lighting settings. I can't seem to get a decent balance between all the variables.

What do people generally use? I've tried changing gamma brightness lightmaps vertex .... everything. It either looks a bit crap and I can see people oky or it looks stunning and I cant see players till I'm dead

I like playing RA3 on the BW servers but its getting embarassing when I'm being pummelled from behind cos I cant see people!

Perhaps some nice RA3 types could paste up their settings for me? pretty please?

Spec: athlon 1500xp, geforce3, 256 ram, Win98se (until I can steal my brothers copy of XP)

Any help/comments will be gratefully received, thanx

I've got a TBird 1200 with a GF3 Ti 500 so that would be somewhat similar and I use the following:

seta r_overBrightBits "0"
seta r_mapOverBrightBits "3"
seta r_intensity "1.7"
seta r_gamma "1.5" // change me only if its too bright/dark//<<<<<<<<<
seta r_vertexlight "0"

I can see fine with that. But then again, if you're looking for Tschernobyl bright then you probably have to fiddle with it some, or use vertex lighting.

The above settings (along with my detail settings etc of course) look like this for me. Don't know if that is what you're looking for.

Wow! with a tad of minor twidlling Ive got some seriously nice results.

I am forever in your debt Nucleus ...... well lets say untill this time next week



Basically I used your settings and installed powerstrip 3.12 to fine tune my colour scheme for Q3. Much apprecaited, fanx again.
