I've just read Andy's post where he explained his thoughts on the disabling of r_fullbright and r_ambientscale cvars (cheat cvars). He thought players were leaving the game because they were unable to see their enemies in certain maps. I have a solution and I am able to set cheat cvars with the mod. I propose that the community makes a list of cvars they would like to have enabled, I would also like to hear objections against the allowance of the cvars mentioned.

If many people object against some cvars, the server can send a list of cvars that clients cannot use, this way server owners can still choose to disable some cvars.

Here's the list for now:

r_fullbright
r_ambientscale

I think r_lightmap is too powerful to enable, making your map all white when using certain video settings.

Discuss!

Mousetrap is fine like this, I hope you won't enable these commands.

It's nice to hear your replies. I was already doubting that players were leaving the game because these commands were disabled. Can anybody confirm this anyway?

I'm against enabling these commands. The game is just fine now without them. You can use r_gamma 3 for light. The players can be seen well enough even without these helping commands such as r_ambientscale & r_fullbright.

If you can't see them , there's probably something wrong with your eyes. Atleast I can see others with these original commands which are enabled at the moment.

[Slizer]

I object. Nobody's leaving, perhaps only himself.

Lies. Why would you leave because of mousetrap? But it's just a game tho, I payed for it, so I want to use those commands.

The disabled cvars (like r_fullbright) have always been cheat cvars. The fact that you can set them using the hash command does not mean that Ravensoft intended you to change the values of them. You paid for the game so you want to use r_fullbright. That's not a valid reason in my opinion. "I bought the game because I want to wallhack so I want to use developer". The point was that people were leaving the game because they could not spot their enemies.

[XILLAX]

nobody left the game, and nobody said they would.

all they said was they would stop using mousetrap.

Quite strange that "they" do not post their thoughts here.

[Luigiz]

One reason why they're not posting their thoughts here is that they don't know about this site or then they just ignore it. If they're not using / not gonna use mousetrap , why should they look mousetrap's forum?

There are other ways to make players easier to spot. If your brightness overall is too low, which is probably the problem, you can use "r_gamma 3" and you could try to put your monitor brightness to the maximum.
