CVar issues? 2 questions.

Bedrock · Post by **Bedrock** » Wed May 12, 2004 2:46 am

Question 1:
I was interested in what cvar causes the crosshair to go from sharp/crisp to blurry. I know changing your resolutions will do this.. but eh.. check these:

Old config:

Old config2:

New config:

New config2:

I was wondering, why did the "res" quality of my crosshair change, when I didn't change the resolution? I know its because I changed a mass amount of graphic settings, I just don't know which one. My crosshair acts like I changed my resolution to 640x. =/

I like the old crosshair, but I like the new config. :O

Question 2:

Why the hell does my ET load twice on map change, or when I connect to a server? It seems like a vid_Restart. -.-;

Thanks for reading through my 6am confusion moment.

even..graphic adapter settings in windows
(@ controlpanel>display>advanced>openGL>texturequality) can indeed affect this..

Didn't touch any of that, keep in mind.. I need to know why the crosshair quality gets lower as my in-game graphic settings get higher.

blured..

r_texturemode "GL_NEAREST" // this produces pixelation and makes the crosshair more crisp as a result

your crosshair is a texture. Thus texture settings affect it.

I thought it'd be something along those lines, thanks.

this may not help you, but when i first started playing ET, i played with my rtcw config, 1024x768, but my frames were craptastic, so i dropped to 800x600, then again to 640x480, and my crosshair was a mess. so all i did was just up the size a little bit, and i could see it crisp and clear.
