That would be pretty cool. I think I would set my r_mapoverbrightcap about 25% lower on maps like Asylum.

i dunno r_mapoverbrightbits 8 with r_mapoverbrightcap 145 seems to work for me, on any map
. Ofc some maps are brighter/darker than others but it's still pretty consistent visual for all the maps.

When I played my brightness settings etc were fine for every map.

However when it came to cure the map was so bright and unplayable and I would have to change the overbrightbitscap each time I went from cure to another map vice-versa

Just bind 3-4 overbright cap value presets to some spare keys somewhere. Just some extra utility binds that would make your life a bit easier.

bind 1 "cvaradd r_mapoverbrightcap +50 ; vid_restart"
bind 2 "cvaradd r_mapoverbrightcap -50 ; vid_restart"

Yeah i've already got like 3 binds, but having to remember the correct binds for each map plus having to vid_restart each time it's indeed annoying as hell.

Cant you have them rolling on a toggle with an echo to tell you which map setting is currently selected then just vid_restart?

Haven't scripted in QL so not sure if this is correct but something like this:

bind f4 "vstr maplist"
set maplist "vstr dm6"
set dm6 "r_mapoverbrightcap ?; echo dm6; set maplist vstr ztn"
set ztn "r_mapoverbrightcap ?; echo ztn; set maplist vstr dm13"
set dm13 "r_mapoverbrightcap ?; echo dm13; set maplst vstr dm6"

bind f5 "vid_restart"

Yeah I saw some people using something like this on their configs before, seems like all we can do for now.

looks legit'!

instead of echo use print, so its comes as chat - echo goes in console

I had the same problem and solved with this configuration ,

r_enablepostprocces 1
r_gamma 2.7
r_contrast 1.5
r_overbrightbits 0
r_mapoverbrightbits 0
r_mapoverbrightcap 255
r_enablebloom 2
r_enablebloomthreshold 1.000
t_bloomsaturation 2.000
r_boomintensity 4.000
r_bloomscenesaturation 1.000
r_bloomsceneintensity 1.000

i see no more bright maps

The problem with this is, with dm6 you get those sort of shadows, it looks too dark and loses the nice plain and simple look. These colors are music to my ears:

Now with the other maps, you get some sort of dead look, it looks like you are playing on a cloudy day or something, or as if you didn't wash your eyes that morning. I think this must be due to the combination of enabled bloom and increased contrast. Unfortuantely there is not an universal value that one could use to get it just right on each map. Hopefully syncerror reads this and gives us the posibility to change cvars automatically per map.

lol

who are these wankers?

this isnt a problem in reflex

ROFLMAO

Actually the problem in Reflex is the maps are too dark, you can't never make them look nice and bright but not too bright.
