Hello, I saw on the chris new fps config topic, the command : “mat_showlowresimage 1”. It really make my game looking like quake (i’m a quake player), but impossible to play with cause of the dark crosshair, hud, glasses, etc… So i tried a tips to let this new command in my autoexec.cfg, and put 2 binds on my keyboard to get “mat_showlowresimage 1” and “mat_showlowresimage 0”. When we launch a map with this command setted to 1, the textures are ridiculously tiny. When during the game you change this command to 0, the textures size seems to stay tiny, but you get back the texture looking like m0re fps config. So that is the point, I found a solution to get a better result for myself to “destroy” my tf2 graphics and i’m happy with. I just ask now your opinion to know if this tips is really allowed for competition or not.

Thanks for your answer ;)

Cool :D

No, it’s not a cheat.

Would rather just have picmip 6 work so everything could just be one colour.

If you wanna try it from yourself, you need to put “mat_showlowresimage 1” in your autoexec.cfg. You need to put this command to one all the time before you load the map, to load the tiny texture on the wall of your map. So it’s why I use 2 binds : one to play after the loading map (i put the command to 0), it makes my croshair without the black square around… so playable :) But before change the map you need to reput the command to 1 to enable, when you will load the next map, the tiny texture on the map again. If you don’t, you will stay with normal m0re high fps config, so… no real advantage there :)
I hope you will understand me well :)

it’s the goal mate ;) I love it !

anakin says its cheat

And soon (today?) this should be a sv_cheats 1 Cvar.

why?

This looks pretty good. Although if i do this now, the texture of my rocket’s crater is blood..shotgun shots.. and who knows what. Any idea?
