This is the support topic for the tutorial Tweaking for RTCW : ET Brightness and Eliminate shadows.

 

Please post here if you have any questions or feedback.

For my old/dark monitor I have gamma 2, intensity 1.5, mapoverbrightbits 3, all at max, overbrightbits 0(cept Braund I set 1, map is very dark), and game says vertexlight is unknown cmd

[-=Medic=-]

It's rtcw setting Tonka not w-et ... viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1049

 

also try guys to remove cvars that don't exist on W-ET

 

rtcw= return to castle wolfenstein

wet = Wolfenstein enemy territory It was originally planned to be released as a commercial expansion pack to the popular FPS Return to Castle Wolfenstein and later as a standalone game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfenstei ... _Territory

oh, my bad lol, but the others are same

[hobbit]

Most cvars are the same as in RtCW just like the new Wolfs are pretty much the same as ETQW cvars.

Here is the config I use in RtCW. It's a detail_low cfg to maximize FPS but due to PB I had to change maxFPS to 76 from 400 :/.

 

P.S. Anyone know why i get kicked from PB servers on RtCW for maxFPS=400 after I manually changed in console and then in cfg to 76?
