Increase r_overbright (and decrase r_mapoverbrightbits if map is too light). It doesn't work for me on linux though.

I tried messing with these values, yet everything goes from one extreme to the other. For instance if I set r_overbrightbits to 2, then models are very bright, but so is the map. If i then set r_mapoverbrightbits 1, the map is pitch black and I can only see the bright glowing items. What am I missing here guys? What other variables can I play with?

edit

r_intensity, r_gamma, r_enablepostprocess

Also make sure you have the brighter models, not the default bright ones

seta cg_enemyUpperColor "0x00FF00FF"
seta cg_enemyLowerColor "0x00FF00FF"
seta cg_enemyHeadColor "0x00FF00FF"

Ahah! changing the enemycolors did it. I now remember reading this before, but for the life of me couldn't figure out what was going on.

I should have mentioned I am on an old crt, and the colors aren't the best. With the default brightskin colors the green was VERY dull. With 0x00FF00FF they are so bright its nearly blinding.

Thanks me, that was perfect.

if i increase the overbright, lets say to 2 , all became darker, like lowering the gamma; also, for some reasons if i set the gamma over "1" it all becames darker

Are you on linux? Intel graphics? Because this is exactly what happens to me on linux and I don't have any solution (I have a win xp partition only to play ql because of this and other issues :/ ). You should write a topic in ql's bugs forum.

Windovs Vista .... :-((((( Nvidia geforce graphics.....
this is not even the worst thing, i also has fps drops, which is ridicolous considering my extra-low graphic settings and the powerness of my system (dual core, 4 gb ram, 512 mb vga, mozilla firefox);
Due to this i feel some sort of lag, which i don't have in osp; i'm seriously considering to unistall ql, i'm losing interest.... but wolfcam will stay for sure :-/

get w7

give me moneys

torrentz? >_<

Apart the objective complications of downloading and installing an os by torrent, having w7 wouldn't change a fuck, not whit my hardware

post your cfg

use bloom

use bloom

Bloom is too distracting IMO.

postprocessing makes characters....bloom

THIS looks perfect. I like all your settings and your model is so BRIGHT. What are your enemymodel colors set to?

Jason

r_vertexlight "0"
r_picmip "5"
r_ignorehwgamma "0"
r_intensity "1.55"
r_overBrightBits "1"
r_mapOverBrightBits "1"
r_enablePostProcess "0"
r_enableColorCorrect "0"
r_enableBloom "0"
r_gamma "1"

enemy is set to 0xFFFFFFFF

Perfect. I like these white models, thank you.

no problem!

There was a post long time ago after introducing r_mapoverbrightcap. Idea was to set r_mapoverbrightbits to 10 and lower r_mapoverbrightcap (150-180 were recommended values) at same time increasing r_contrast a bit and increasing/lowering r_gamma until you satisfied with result. At the end you should end up with bright/dark map with no shadows and pretty bright enemy models.

And 0x00FF00FF isn't brightest green, it is pure green of green. I find myself in happiness with 0x2aFF00FF but, well, that differs from monitor to monitor.

Exactly, must be the monitor I'm using. An old CRT with fading colors :( Default green was very DULL and dark. Setting 0x00FF00FF made them MUCH brighter.

Thanks for your help,

r_mapoverbrightbits "1" and r_overbrightbits "1" is the most common way to get bright enemy models.

I played with this a lot in many different combinations. I was happiest with both of these at 2, or medium in the menu. I guess all of these settings are really display dependent. Set to 1 everything is very dark.

Cvarlist *ambientscale*

This cvar seems to have no effect. r_ambientscale set to 1 or 10 have no visual difference for me.

r_ambientscale will only effect the 'non-bright' portions of the bright skins (like Keel's biomechanical wiring/cabling).

Beyond that it makes a huge impact on non-bright skins.

1 = very little ambient light, making the model appear dark when it stands in a dark corner
10 = default, enough ambient to make them visible in dark corners
100 = full bright ambient, map shadows won't dim the model at all.

ahh thanks for the clarification syncerror.
