How I can disable all flashes in ET

Postby Plastic_Jesus » Wed Mar 24, 2010 20:01

I got really annoyed that my eyes hurt every time I play ET. It's because of the flashes which come when you shoot. I have muzzleflash off, but there is still side flash which reflect on wall. That really kills my eyebaLLs. Does anybody know how to disable all the flashes which come when you shoot ? Because I'm hopeless, I really can't find it. I already asked help with it but nobody knows how to disable it.

Spanks and thanks.

Some stuff is hardcoded in new nq-versions. You cant disable them (reason is fairness).

I'd say put sunglasses on. 8)
Or turn also /cg_bloodflash off and /cg_wolfparticles; might help a bit.. Dunno for the rest.. /r_shadows 0 ?

I have all blood realated stuff off because it annoyed me. But I try tomorrow that dynamiclights, by the way I just put it 1 week ago on. And about shadows... it doesn't matter if it is 0-3, it just change shadows nothing else.

turn on a good light facing your keyboard and screen :D . But disabling everything that just makes the game looks (even more) terrible :p

there are 2 kind of muzzleflashes

b_muzzleflash 0 (disables flash what comes out of gun when you fire)
cg_muzzleflash 0 (this one you probably have and doesnt help)

let me know if it worked.

You dont want to use /cg_wolfparticles 0. You really dont want :wink:

If you want to disable light flashes at your gun, i recommend u to disable the weapon: /cg_drawGun 0.

I tried \cg_drawgun 0.
1st of all it looks bad and 2nd it doesn't take off lights from other player's flashes becaues I see them even I did \cg_drawgun 0

But those other plauers flashes aren't that bad because I don't see them that well.
But I will try those commands later today and I will tell then did they work or not.

Hmmm i would not want to play with enemys without flashes at shots. sometimes it shows u where a enemy is -> aim on the flashing->shoot->kill.
cg_drawgun dont look "bad". your weapon in your own sigth disappear. it can be VERY useful, for example when you carry a MG. SOme ppl are used to play with cg_drawgun on 0 and they say it helps much,b ecause the weapon not "steal" field of view anymore :D

`disabling the flash of the gun is just esc-nq-display-muzzleflash off ;)

But, disabling the flash on the walls when you shoot, do you mean that?

Solution found! It was \r_dynamiclight 0 which switched off those lights on wall. Thanks Diamond, you saved my eyebaLLs.

Can be locked!!!
