Please show us your lightning beam and if you can also include its settings :-)

Here is mine

gl_lightning 1
gl_lightning_size 1 (I don't think 1 is any different than 3 which is default)
gl_particle_trail_detail 10
gl_particle_trail_width 10

It looks MUCH better in the game tho.

EDIT: I didn't really like thin shaft so I'm back to normal shaft again.

looks better ingame aswell.



im not using the generated lightning tho, i made my own zing1.tga.
gl_lightning 1
gl_particle_trail_detail 1
gl_particle_trail_width 1

you guys should post the settings and the files so people can try them

Interesting, looks cool

Well if you have ezquake you should be able to just type these commands and it should look like those screens :_) Its just a standard particle beam but slightly modified. You can play with gl_lightning command, higher values are possible as well.

gl_lightning 1
gl_lightning_size 1
gl_particle_trail_detail 10
gl_particle_trail_width 10

gl_lightning "1"
gl_particle_trail_width "6"
gl_particle_trail_detail "6"

Nice and thin is good :]

Sorry to bring this dead post to life again. But I was wondering if anyone could make a zing1.png like the one in the screenshot or if anyone already has it. I noticed however that this one is flawed. The beam isn't continous.

Thanks for any answer.

gl_lightning 0
gl_shaftlight 0.1

This is very old. I am using normal shaft now. Will edit pics.

-simple shaft, color matched to wall and floor.
-particle blood effect reduced in size about 75% (edited qw/textures/particles/particlefont.png)

Can you up your skin player :p ?

The skin is the included 2_green. The black outline is from ...

gl_outline 1
gl_outline_width 3
