gl_fb_bmodels 

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 1

Values

valuedescription
1Enable "fullbright" colors on bsp models (World, health boxes, etc).
0Might give you a couple more fps.

gl_fb_models 

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 1

Values

valuedescription
1Enable "fullbright" colors on alias models (grenades, player models, etc).
0Might also give you more fps.

gl_flashblend 

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 0

Values

valuedescription
1Just draw a shaded ball of the color of the light.
0Use proper lighting for light sources (powerups etc.).

gl_lighting_colour 

Description

Alias models are effected by coloured lights around them.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 0

Variable is float.

gl_lighting_vertex 

Description

Alias models no longer have the same level of light on all sides. This may not work correctly if coloured lighting is disabled.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 0

Variable is float.

gl_lightmode 

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 2

Values

valuedescription
0Makes the map lighter, but fulbrights don't look as good.
2Makes the map darker, but makes fullbrights stand out more (looks better).

gl_loadlitfiles 

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 1

Values

valuedescription
1Load lit files.
0Disable lit files.

gl_shaftlight 

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 1

Values

valuedescription
1Light shaft.
0Dark shaft.

r_ambient 

Description

This variable controls the amount of ambient lighting on the map. When this variable is increased the map will become brighter and all walls and objects will be rendered in a lighter color. It was removed in QWCL and has been re-introduced in this client, however it can only be used when the server is running with cheats enabled (for example "qwsv -cheats"), because it could be used as a cheat by making it easier to see players in dark corners when no fullbright skins are used.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 0

Variable is float.

r_dynamic 

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 1

Values

valuedescription
1Display dynamic lighting.
0Do not display dynamic lighting.

r_fullbright 

Description

This variable toggles the use of lights at full brightness on the map. This allows map authors to remove all of the lighting effects from the map.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 0

Values

valuedescription
1The renderer system will render all textures on the map at full brightness.
0Do not fullbright the map.

This variable was removed in QWCL and has been re-introduced in this client, however it can only be used when the server is running with cheats enabled (for example "qwsv -cheats"), because it could be used as a cheat by making it easier to see players in dark corners when no fullbright skins are used. You also mustn't use any ruleset and use "-noshadows" as command-line option.

r_lightmap 

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X

Default: 0

Values

valuedescription
1Enable light sources on the map.
0Disable light sources on the map.
