Quoted from KOVACS

Personally I never really understood the advantages of low detail textures/graphics in any FPS. I’ve attempted playing Quake 3 with high picmip and found it detrimental to my game rather than beneficial.

It depends, really low quality textures can help you see enemies and quickly pick out targets easier, but I play with higher quality textures as well because I get a better feel for distances and things like that where as everything looks very samey with low texture settings.

Note that this Cvar doesn’t give any FPS gain.

you think that mat_showlowresimage doesn’t give any fps gain on low-end computers?

bahahaha get out of here

Anakin being retarded on etf2l since ’08. See the r_aspectratio thread for reference.

Got a link, by any chance? Don’t feel like digging through 2 dozen pages to find it.

Marked mat_showlowresimage as a cheat command.

Shit.

I was so happy about that command and it’s already blocked. :(

So those saying this should be banned… consider this..
Should we bann all widescreen users because they can see more than crt users?
Or maybe we should bann those who doesnt use motion blur because some else maybe uses it? Its a stupid argument, dont bann it ffs..

It’s baffling that you’d consider that screenshot to be better than the normal TF2 settings. The whole point of messing around with picmip in Quake 3 was to make the game look like this – http://snowie.bad-words.com/legoq3.jpg – where every wall is pretty much just one colour and pipes (stickies) are clearly visible (see the yellow blobs).

What you’ve there is a cross between TF2 and a knitted woolly jumper :)

Should look like this yea. My QL looks like that (Im still shit though :D).

It’s just flat out stupid to ban this.
The only advantage is that it gives more FPS.
What the fuck?
