Options for R_shadows 0 R_fog 0

NecropsY

<div class="IPBDescription">=o</div>Well iv been asking and some other people have also

it cant be much work to let us disable a couple options under the OPTIONS menu , i know ns devs are busy and theres only like 1 dev to every 100 problems

but could we have our "disable shadows disable fog options"

its really all i want, and i find it a hastle and pain to fiddle with 3rd party mods to just get what i want :e

on a side note ...

I think you can disable shadows by using r_shadows false. Not sure about fog. At v1.0 the options menu will likely be much more fleshed out.

Allowing these to be disabled via the in-game options (or via an options file) are likely going to be implemented eventually, though it could still be a while. In the meantime, your options are:
1. Typing the commands manually into the console:
These commands need to be reentered every map change/new server joined
r_atmospherics 0
r_shadows 0
r_bloom 0
r_instancing 0
This command needs to be reentered after every death
r_fog 0

2. Use <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=113246" target="_blank">fsfod's menumod</a> with the commands that <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=116889&view=findpost&p=1910894" target="_blank">eh? has specified</a>:

./menumod/autoexec/

You can put scripts there to be autoexec on connection to server,

for instance i have the file lowres_connected.lua which contains:

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>Shared.ConsoleCommand("r_bloom false")
Shared.ConsoleCommand("r_aa false")
Shared.ConsoleCommand("r_atmospherics false")
Shared.ConsoleCommand("r_shadows false")
Shared.ConsoleCommand("r_fog false")
Shared.ConsoleCommand("r_shadowsfade false")
Shared.ConsoleCommand("r_instancing false")
Shared.ConsoleCommand("r_flash false")</div>


and it gets executed on every server connect for me, i just have to optionally do r_fog 0 on each death.

Also nice that there are examples there that will autoopen server browser too for you.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
