well, i tweak (no that much before but becuase it came in the lights at tournament i did a bit more)

tweaks is just the same as your graphic/gaming/view settings in your rtcw menu... but then a bit more advanced... by commands in your console or, more easy, in your autoexec or another exec file...
the things you can change are called Cvar's... but you can't change them to whateve... on each server there's a Cvar list with the minimum's and maximum's of the Cvar OR 0 or 1 (no and yes)
and punkbuster checks that list to see if each player is in/out the limits...

but what commadns etc. i don't gonna start, too much work ;) but you can find a lot of them on the internet... @ RtCWfiles.com there's a forum about tweaking i thought...

hope i could help you ;)

hmmm ill give ya my tweak;) you can easy ajust it;):

- Shoot the bastard in the darkroom
Lightning is, for a part, done by these lines:
seta r_mapoverBrightBits "0"
seta r_gamma "x.xxxxxx"
Change this to:
r_mapoverbrightbits "2"
seta r_gamma "4.000000"
You can crank the first one way up to 5, but servers with Punkbuster running
might kick you.

if you wonna know if standard punkbuster cvar list would kick you type in console: /pb_cvarlist (if you're in a game then you see if you have cvar vioaltions for that server...)

and mapoverbrightbits usually are limited to 4...

and about ya r_gamma beast just put 4... you don't need the ".000000" it stays just 4 :P

u can set r_intensity to 2 or 3 i think (more than that and its blinding)
also, u can turn cg_shadows to "0"

i know on certain OSP servers you could change the color of your aim graphic thingy. Not sure of the code for it exactly but its a nice features that comes in handy, make it pink to really attract your eyes lol.

mine is 5 :D (used to be 10 but new punkbuster doesn't accept it...)

but indeed in snow maps it is a bit too light...

I dont know why people bitch about tweaks on RTCW as long as it is still good with osp or pb.

Thu Apr 17, 2003 2:35 pm

all you need is r_uifullscreen 2 and r_picmips 5

Thu Apr 17, 2003 3:28 pm

lol, well Ironmike that is NOT accepted my pb or osp ;)

r_uifullscreen can only be 1 or 0 and r_picmip 0-4 :P

(but i guess you're joking? ;))
