Random problem
Tue Jan 25, 2005 12:26 pm
I have a random problem which you may or may not be able to help me with:
When I play wolf in a window rather than in full screen everything is normal: The trenches look normal and I can read the console. This also means that I can turn up r_intensity and r_gamma so that I can play on a nice bright map.
By contrast when I play in fullscreen mode setting r_intensity and r_gamma to just 2 means that the trenches go bright white and glow so that I can't see the crosshair if I aim in them and can barely see players running through. More annoyingly though the console also goes white and the text there is completely illegible. In the past I dealt with this by binding r_gamma 1 to a key allowing me to turn the brightness down too dark to play but dark enough to read the console. Now I wonder whether they may not be a beter solution.
So basically does anyone have any idea what is happening in fullscreen that messes up the brightness but which doesn't happen when playing in a window?

No way!!!!!!!!!! Parrot has told me that a Mac rules and with this said Mac he never has any problems so obviously it's someone posing as Parrot writing about a problem. Isn't that right Parrot....tell me it aint you....I was just on my way out the door to purchase said Mac but now I'm reconsidering....
Sorry you're having problems Parrot...I'm a computer genius...not a Mac genius....lol......

It can't be the config because it works fine in a window. It must be something else

The graphic card, that is if a Mac has one or does it have a monkey in box drawing pictures on the screen?

I'm gonna go with the monkey option.

its because you have your monitor adjusted for regular use.. try turning your brightness down on your monitor then run the game full screen. i use a mac also.. but i always run it full screen just because it disables normal hot keys except command-Q ..so when i suddenly log off. its because i sprinted and leaned left at the same time.. haha

Didn't work evything was dimmer but the trenches were still bright white even if they were as proportionally dimmer as the rest...
