Better Grpahics Through Config Modification

Ashaman_Joe

<div class="IPBDescription">Looking for it</div> A while back, there had been a post that contained several modifications to the config.cfg that both improved graphics quaility and speed. Unfortunately, I lost the modifications when I had to reinstall Steam. If anyone could drop me a link to it, or post them here, I would appreciate it.

I seem to remember there being more to it.

But its a start (and better than nothing). Thanks!

gl_spriteblend 1
gl_picmip 0
gl_dither 0 (default is 1, hits performance a lot)
gl_max_size 512

Incidentally, I'm more interested in the "looks better" than the "goes faster". I'm not sure if any of the previous commands are "goes faster", so I'll have to try them out. Thanks for the help! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Does the trilinear code look like this?

gl_texturemode "GL_TRILINEAR_MIPMAP_TRILINEAR"

Apparently, these are all high quality config settings:

gl_cull 1
gl_clear 1
gl_keeptjunctions 1
gl_texsort 1
gl_overbright 1
gl_wateramp 1
gl_ztrick 0
gl_dither 0
gl_smoothmodels 1
gl_spriteblend 1
gl_lightholes 1
gl_monolights 0
gl_round_down 0
gl_picmip 0
gl_playermip 0
gl_texturemode GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR
gl_max_size 1024

Put them in your userconfig.cfg file and it will load every time.

No, the one he posted was trilinear.

Thanks for the help! Now, I can enjoy good looking NS goodness. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
