2 basic questions...
1.How does raising gamma constitute a cheat?
2. On the screen where you change your name select handicaps and choose your model, what does the color bar do?

1) To put it simply... it's one way to defeat the purpose of shadows and lighting.  It makes it easier to see things that other people can't (or shouldn't) see under normal circumstances.

There's much, much more to it, but, uh... I'll leave it at that for now. y'know what I mean?  Example, see next post.


2) Currently, the color bar only changes the color of the railgun trail.


[At least sometimes there's] no harm in asking, so feel free...

it isn't. Raising intensity, or turning off lightmap is. We are not Challenge Quake3.

asking when OA3 will be done won't get OA3 done.
Progress of OA3 currently occurs behind closed doors alone

I do not provide technical support either.

For the colors, it's fun to set it to change the color to something when you push the aswd keys, sniping people gets more colorful.

Also, a very high cg_railTrailTime on, oh, Never Ending Yard.  It's really, really cool, but then eventually with 4+ players, you can't see anything. Tongue

You can use the console, like \name ^3Bartholemew becomes Bartholemew.

Missing '^' key is one of the issue I have since 0.7.6. Same for console key which changed, and went back at 0.8.0. (already noticed on bug thread).
