i did some reading today and i understand this is a precaution for cheats or something... when i'm playing in corkscrew i can use vertex but main game not permitting it. i tried devmap and the result doesn't changed. my fps rate loses it's head & shoulders without it. is there any solution that i don't know ? console commands or something ? (i'm not playing online)

OA 0.8.5 intruduced "videoflags" server-side variable, to prevent users from changing some graphic options to impractical or unfair values, and this includes vertex lighting. If you are playing locally, you can change your videoflags value and then set vertex lighting.
Vertex mode always works in CorkScrew because videoflags did not exist at the time of Q3, and CorkScrew is based upon Q3 game logic.

I never want to be aggressive, offensive or ironic with my posts. If you find something offending in my posts, read them again searching for a different mood there. If you still see something bad with them, please ask me infos. I can be wrong at times, but I never want to upset anyone.

wow thank you very much. i read dmflags section 3 times but didn't saw it. this thing doubles the fps rate on very weak computers. i think the game should give a warning about this
