Lightgamma locked?

HiVeFisH · November 2006

<div class="IPBDescription">3.2beta1</div>hm i played a bit 3.1.3 and saw that 3.2beta is darker even with same gamma brightness ... configs.
So i checked my lightgamma in 3.2 and it was 2, my userconfig says lightgamma 0.

Is there a way to get it to 0 like 3.1.3?
Is there some kind of lock? or its serverside?
And please check your lightgamma!

lightgamma 0
texgamma 0

Might want to manually exec whatever config those commands are in before you join a server.

Wasn't lightgamma locked at "2" long ago?
Although "-1" worked on some servers, afaik,

Yeah I experience this as well, and with lightgamma at 2 the game is freaking dark for me.

Please help.

Anyone?

make sure you go to options > multiplayer > advanced > and then check "Enable gamma ramp" I had the same problem and that fixed it. For some reason its disabled by default in 3.2

The problem isn't that gamma ramp is off, it isn't, the problem is that lightgamma is now locked at 2 when I in 3.1 was able to change it to 0.

Idk why its locked at 2 in 3.2 but i could only get it as low as 1 in 3.1. And how bright do u really need it O_o isnt it like super bright already if u have:
lightgamma 0
texgamma 0
brightness 3
gamma 3
and the gamma ramp enabled
If I did that it would be bright as hell, is your monitor really dark or something?

Are you even reading this thread? The problem is that lightgamma can't be changed from 2. So how do you figure I should change it to 0 when it can't be changed to 0?

Man, less crap please.

lol sry <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> i just copied that from AnAkIn's post and forgot to change it to 2

I believe lightgamma is locked at 2. You'll have to live with it.

Not a clue if Radeon cards have it but as I'm on Nvidia I often use the tools that come with the drivers to up the gamma to around 1.8-2.0 and just reset it when I come out of game and go to use the desktop.

It's by no means a fix but it's a way of playing with the brigthness you want.
