#781 otto: can I try your hud config? me likes. you can find me in #druidz.qw on irc

Just made this recently, just trying to be minimal.

Otto - pls post your HUD cfg. It looks nice
Are there special icons for your weapon names (RL, LG etc), ort is it just proper configuration ?

Where did you get that shaft beam? Is it part of nQuake? I'm still stuck with the old one, looks horrible.

gl_lightning "1" ?

Doesn't work for me. Still same old beam. Just recently installed nQuake and things seem a bit funny. At first my shaft beam was different randomly. Maybe I was fiddling with the eyecandy settings, not sure anymore. And my custom .pk3 files won't load at all for some reason so I have to extract them instead. Kind of weird. Tried different folders and removing the default ones. Sorry to be off topic like this.

Anyway, gl_lightning 1 was already set and still same old one was used.

With "same old one", do you mean the bolt model?

To get the good looking particle shaft, after setting gl_lightning 1, you need to play around with these settings gl_particle_trail_*

Especially gl_particle_trail_detail, set it to 100 or something.

Also gl_particle_trail_width is good to look at too, but try different settings of all gl_particle_trail_*
-This will however have no effect if you are still using the bolt model.

I take it that bolt model is the actual beam? Yes, then I mean the bolt model. I'm seeing the old beam for the shaft.

Noticed that I had the new beam when I executed bot_4on4. But sometimes when I do, I would still have the old one. Not sure if I had the new this time because I was trying out those variables you said. None of them worked anyway, and I set everything back to normal. I did however manually execute the eyecandy.cfg and higheyecandy.cfg. I think that's what caused it. Also, the skins for all bots would be the base.pcx with default colors when executing those cfgs even if they join red team or whatever. Really bugs me.

-----------------

*Edit*

I solved the beam issue. It was the smackdown ruleset causing the beam to not work. The gl_lightning_sparks 1 doesn't work in ezQuake normal ruleset though right? Oh, and the models for the lightning beam between the two small pins on the shaft. Is that the bolt2.mdl? Any setting to change that one?

Oh, and I should maybe post pics of my setup. Nothing special, just some models from DP and hud from Ruohis. I think the models in DP are Ruohis too? He rules anyway! =)

lol time, more changes now

btw somebody know why i have the 'weird pixels' in my sshots? for example around the lightning beam in my last sshot?

Time: Probably due to jpeg compression.
