Basically, a technique to simulate the r_overbrightBits screen color adjusting by having a GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_DST_COLOR white plane overlay on the rendering output entirely (even above the console), using overbrightbits' brightness compensation in effect for it, having the brightness cvar adjust its alpha.

PROS:
- Do it in a window!
- Do it on X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- no combines!

CONS:
- it blends. could be expensive on REALLY OLD hardware or even software GL rasterizers

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.

That'll just make everything whiter (e.g. black becomes #808080).

If GL_DST_COLOR could be used as the source (i.e. as Cs in the C = CsS + CdD equation) then you'd be adding the framebuffer into itself and getting the same effect as overbrightbits=1, however I'm fairly sure (having checked the OpenGL 1.3 specs) that GL_DST_COLOR is not supported there.

I actually got around to doing this as well. It works!
