Quake 2 too dark.

[roc19]

Does anyone out there no how to turn up the gamma on Quake 2? I've got the brightness turned all the way up but the game is still too dark to play. If I turn up the gamma using the xgamma command and then run the game everything is cool but I really don't like to have to turn the gamma up and down everytime I go to play. I'm pretty sure there is a command line option to adjust the gamma but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Why don't you write a shell script?

I thought about doing that but there are 2 things:

 

1. I believe I've seen the command switch somewhere where I can change the gamma when I enter the command to start the game. It is just I cannot seem to find that switch anywhere.

 

2. If I write a script, how can I tell the system in the script to change the gamm back to it's normal settings once I exit the game. I don't want to have to do 2 scripts, 1 for starting the game and one for after I exit the game. That's too much of a pain in the butt.

Try making an autoexec.cfg in your quake2/baseq2 folder

put:

set gl_modulate "3.0"

set intensity "2.0"
