r_ignorehwgamma

What does it do? Use to have it on 0, but since I have a new pc I have to turn it on 1 because I get a very very dark screen. And with my other pc it made the screen very light :(

it just ignores the gamma and choose one itself
1. Makes models glow when they are further away from you ( http://www.revo-online.nl/downloads/screenshots/1503_1_1253441108_1.jpeg )
2. Makes ET use it's own gamma values (so your Windows gamma doesn't affect it)
3. Removes the nasty bug of crosshair's brightness changing
why is it turning black now for me? would like to have it again

1. Your r_gamma is low
2. Your screen brightness is low
Parent
doesn't matter which r_gamma I use, it still stays the same
sup with screen brightsness, how to change?
Parent
You need a vid_restart after you change your gamma with r_ignorehwgamma 1
In the screen there should be a menu button near the power on-button (or change in vidcard driver)
Parent
ye I know, but what to get these graphic settings again

If you are using exact same settings from his config, can you show me what it looks like?
Parent
I putted my screen brightness on 100 and still it isn't working.
I guess it's my vidcard or smth
Parent
r_mapoverbrightbits 1
r_ignorehwgamma 1
r_gamma 3
r_intensity 1.5

vid_restart

should fix it.

if not go into drivers and check your color settings for screen, maybe gamma, brightness is way too low there!

don't forget u can make custom profiles for ET so check if u got a profile for ET because if ur normal settings are ok but the ET profile settings are gamma imba low, that's normal:p
Parent
I believe that is made with ignorehwgamma 0 ;-)

a moderate r_gamma 2

r_intensity 1.5

r_mapoverbrightbits 2/3

and some higher digi vibrance + gamma/brightness in drivers :-)
Parent
ye that is with 0, use to have it like that. But now I have to put it on 1 but I get a different graphics with it
Parent
k first of all it's matias config so why don't you pm him for some info on it?

Secondly ofcourse your graphics change :)

r_ignorehwgamma has quite a big influence on how it's made + why don't u use your old config settings then?

edit: what were ur old settings btw to get it to look like that?
Parent
not possible
Parent
Why isn't that possible?

r_ignorehwgamma 0
r_mapoverbrightbits 3
r_intensity 1.5
r_gamma 2.3

Results in something like that? :p
Parent
well ok gamma was a bit wrong, but rest was correct :-D
Parent
yep, but too bad r_ignorehwgamma 0 aint working for
screen just stays black as it is
doesn't matter what r_gamma I use
Parent
with hwgamma "1" maybe?
Parent
oh yeah agree it ain't possible to achieve on r_ignorehwgamma "1" :-p
Parent
r_ignorehwgamma 0
r_overbrightbits 1
r_intensity 1.5
r_gamma 1.5-3
r_mapoverbrightbits 3
Parent
je brightness.
Parent
wats the name of the cfg?

or just send me the settings about gamma intensity over mapover and stuff

pls :)

Winghaven's
Parent
it just ignores the windows gamma and choose one with r_gamma
1 sucks ass.
ati video card?
u could try changing gamma in catalyst control center - color .at least that worked for me,eventho the situation was kind the other way around
Parent
was more the contrast I needed to change, but now I have to make a profile for et
