Hello, I'm fairly new to Smokin' Guns (1.1b4) but I have expirience in ioQ3 engine based games, so I wanted to give the game a shot, and then I notice that the game is very dark and I actually can't do nothing inside game to change its brightness. Sliders didn't work and commands such as r_gamma and r_ignorehwgamma (which was usual workaround for such situations also not fix things. After some testing involving few hints on your irc channel #smokinguns on freenode, chatting with friendly lads Pardner, Tequilla I have notice that in window mode the gamma seems to work fine so one of the guys pointed me to try override SDL color mode by using export SDL_VIDEO_X11_NODIRECTCOLOR=1 command as I use Linux system. But that actually worked for me only once, then stopped. After more hour of searching and testing I found answer and possible ultimate solution for not working gamma setting in latest beta of Smokin' Guns. The solution is one command inside the game:
- Code: Select all
r_overBrightBits 0
I found the solution in SDL library
bugzilla, it works even that I use Xorg 1.9 and probably it should work on other systems aswell, as I heard one guy on IRC had this problem with vista. I hope this will help newcomers like me to fix this flaw.
