Your monitor doesn't seem to support the gamma adjustment NS tries to make. How that causes the problems with sprites and commander HUD looking b0rked I don't know but I do think it is the cause.

Any ideas because i just installed xp server
i was using win2k and i had no probs then.

Well, considering the image doesn't work.. I'm going to make a stab and assume you're getting a green scoreboard, "black" sprites, etc?

If so, this problem is common and is being worked on. Some report success (myself included) in turning their OpenGL custom settings back to defaults in the Advanced tab of your video card.

Set all video card options to defaults, don't overclock, etc. See if it helps any.

I have a temprorary solution to this problem as I have explained in
<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=60219&st=30' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/in...pic=60219&st=30</a>

A trainer like program may help you to play with the corrected colors, first <a href='http://eniac.redirectme.net/ns/eniac_ns_gamma.zip' target='_blank'>download this file</a>. Unzip it, whenever you join to a server or a map is changed, alt+tab back to windows, run the program in the zip file, press "set ns gamma" button on the program, and return back to the game, the colors has to be corrected if nothing goes wrong. This solution runs in my computer perfectly, however nobody replied that it works or not, it is not guaranteed. And it may not work with cheating death (haven't tried it yet)

I have prepared this file for only 3.0 Beta 3 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> sorry I didn't mention it. It will not work with 2.0 Since this file directly changes the memory the anti-cheat programs may prevent it from working correctly, and yes you may be kicked because of this, thats right. Also this program may not work if an update or patch comes to hl, but I will keep updating the program. As I have told you, I can play with this perfectly on 3.0 beta 3 servers, I have prepared this for myself, I'm distributing it because it may help you too.

you tried re-installing the drivers for your gfx card? that sprite from the shotgun looks like its running in RGB mode (software) hence all the pixelation. not sure about the scoreboard, although i know ive had a similar problem (but the scoreboard colors just mess up from server **** ups).

panda_de_malheureux · March 2004

i had this too (panda of doom), updating the video drivers fixed it if i remember correctly.

RustyNail · March 2004

tried my origional drivers
newest ones
and some old ones i'v kept
but still the same but, on custom map servers some of the maps give me the colors
