A BIG thank you to the person who helped me solve the gamma problem! (you know who you are) <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
As for those of you who know how to do nothing except scream about cheating, I got news for ya: "gamma cheating" is a phrase that does not exist. It's laughable! You are the probably the same group of guys that scream at everyone who jumps in the Comm chair besides you.
The lockout of gamma controls with the introduction of Steam / NS was unintentional. It was never intended to prevent "cheating". It's in the official NS bug list, bug #483.

So just to spread the help around here is the solution using Powerstrip, since the solution is not easily found:
<span style='color:orange'>How to make powestrip work with steam NS?
Go to application profile configuration in powerstrip (right click ps icon and you will see it), select "hl.exe" as an appliction shortcut to monitor, then select "monitor keyboard controller for hotkeys" from list on the right..
When you save this, you will be able to change gamma using powerstrip as usually :-) </span>
Without this, I can't even see the splash screen!
Nemisis, you might as well lock this topic out before the cheating whiners start in.

Yeah.. he was.
But it's always nice to have more people back in the community.
yes same guy.
And as for giving up on NS, well, if you can't SEE the game, you can't PLAY the game. Not much choice in the matter. But now that I can SEE it, I can PLAY it again for the first time since the begining of the year. Happy Day!
Anyone else having the same sorta thing?
The only thing i have changed from the default Beta 5 Install is the jetpack fuel guage sprite.
it seems like only lambert or other things [which can't be done in the engine by the way] through hooks make them show up better <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
It's the same in terms of difficulty unless you adjust your gamma so dark that you can't see them anyways
If im actively thinkin about cloakers and pay attention, I can spot them.
But damn, that cloaking is freaky. ive had them cloak right in front of me and had i not seen it, ida never known they were there.
Anyways, I need to look into gamma settings for my bro.
his comp is so dark, you cant even watch mpgs and what not.
er...
uh... Welcome back!
I think maybe you might want to <b><a href='http://entechtaiwan.net/util/ps.shtm' target='_blank'>read about what PowerStrip is</a></b>. It's a display tuner and overclocker. Unless there's some sort of bug with PS that I don't know of.
... rofl.
another 3rd party gamma prog you can use it iPlaygamma albeit its hard to find <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
