ok well i was noticing how in crash, when you are in top back blue looking into a house, there is a lot of sun glare. even with everything off, including the r_drawsun 0 there is still a lot of glare..

does anyone know how to eliminate this ?
i was looking at the r_sun commands but havent really messed with them yet. I didnt want to mess anything up with out hearing advice first

fiddle with things while your config is on read only

if you screw it all up, you can /quit and reload and it will be fine, just remember what command works :)

yes you can get rid of it, but you'll have 2 let bulletworm or punkbuster or whatever who allow some commands, or the community should allow it imo

r_lighttweaksunlight 0.55 is the command, try it out in devmap, its much better imo..

and i really cant understand why it should be disallowed, its so annoying looking at the glow

i use r_glow "0", r_drawsun "0" with PAM4.01 with the codqcup ruleset and i have no "flare" or "glow"?

Try fiddling around with Digital Vibrance if you cant get rid of it ingame ;)

#8 you think that you use r_glow 0, but the command is cheat protected, by iw so atm its impossible 2 have glow at 0, and digital vibrance is only like color adjustments, dosent remove the effect at all

now here is some screens, with different values with the lighttweak thingy

It might not remove it all, but will make it easier to see player models in the "flare"

well it shouldnt be like that, unreal/quake etc why do you think that they use colored models, its because its all about who has the best movement and aim, its not who has the best config tweaks/or which resolution you play in, its all aim based because if you aint gonna see a blue glowing model, then you proberly are blind anyway..

but in cod4 its all about resolution/monitor type ,1337 tweaked configs and so on...

simply stupid..

and with tweaks like the one i posted above, the game would be much more fair and playable, no matter what resolution you play with....

Im with bronson, it provides no use apart from graphic dolangies and annoyance.

On crossfire if you are in op4 shops look down the street, you cant see shiz. I say get rid of it. We all have are settings on low for a reason, whats the point of having something that we cant change but hinders us.

Get rid of it; it is unnecessary, frame hogging and down right annoying.

nah dude if you dont wanna strip everything out of the game go play singleplayer, mp aint suppose to look nice its supposed to be fair, and the way it is now it aint fair.. i play most things maxed out, etc texture settings and resolution at 1680x1050 it looks nice, but then peoble who are playing with resolution at 640x480 or so, and textures and all other stuff on low see things alot better..

an m8 i dont wanna change resolution to 640x480 with my monitor, nah rather allow a few commands so those who wanna play with lets say HIGH settings still can see peoble just as good as those who have LOW settings...and tbh if you are so blind that you cant see its the best overall thing for the game, then you should stick to singleplayer imo

I'm with juszn on that.

CoD4 isn't really about cfg tweaking either but ok.

Shut up juzn you incompetent prick.

SHIP MAN HES IN REASON ALL LISTEN TO HIM. Fo.

You opinion is as valid as anyones, and in mine yours is utter shit. Why have something there that is unnecessary, irritating and fps hogging.

What makes this any less worse than:
-Sway bug
-Sniper BS
-P90
-Skorpian
-Stun grenades
-Heavy gunner
-Acog
-Reddot

Especially the latter few, whats makes them be changed? Other than the fact that they annoyed people, no real reason. This glow however effects us all weather we want it or not. There is no argument what so ever for keeping it in,. Please less of that because 'its in the game' bullshart, never stopped anyone or anything before.

Doctor one: Hes got a tumor on his heart.
Parent: Can you get rid of it?
Doctor One: Yes fine, it not serious.
DOcotr two: Well there's no point, it was there when he was born. Live with it.

That example is a bit extreme, but it the same basic argument, there is no reason for it. It just hinders.

Bind your r_gamma to certain settings. example, /bind 8 r_gamma 0.8 /bind 9 r_gamma 1.2
this works when you get into blue room you can hit ''8'' and get a low brightness. or you could get a sharpie and draw on the areas with glare =D.
