vid prob

[*NastyJR*]

ok sometimes when i load q3 through ase it loads up and everything is too dark to play and i usually hit esc goto setup display an click on the same exact spot that the brightness slider is on and voila everything gets brighter an slider wasnt even moved, i assume its a vid prob but anyway i found a work around for now if in game i bring up console an type /r_gamma 2 and then /r_gamma 1 to return it back it has been working actually q3 hasnt looked this good on my pc ina very long time lol, i usually play with it being at 1.625 but since my prob an switching to 2 then back to 1 , while at 1 it is darker but colors are oh so right crisp and clear and i can see a whole lot better, i added a line in my autoexec.cfg that sets this at 1 and i have made a bind to my autoexec.cfg, ase loads it anyway but if i ever feel something didnt load i can just hit a key an load my autoexec again, anyway now what i am trying to do is make a bind to set r_gamma 2 so if when i get in game its dark an unplayable i can hit my bind for gamma at 2 then hit my bind to run my autoexec an set it back to 1 and clearing out the vid prob but i cant seem to get the line right, normally in a cfg it would be
seta r_gamma "2" i have tried numerous ways to bind this to the letter g with an without seta with set an other ways if anyone knows what i am missing or if it simply can't be done pls jump in an hit me over the head with a line that will work

my autoexec.cfg looks like this for those that are lost at what i am even talking about

bind MOUSE3 "vstr DisplayZoom"

//duck and cover
set duck "+movedown; set crouchswitch vstr stand; echo Crouching..."

bind mwheelup "weapon 7"

Happens to me from time to time (the dark screen thing). My logitech keyboards caps and num locks also screw up the vid if i press them ingame.

I usually just use /vid_restart to reset it.

ok i will try that and see if it helps, changing gamma is quick though esp if i could get one of them bound to a key or maybe put both in my cfg and it would change between the 2 with one keystroke by running my exec hmm will try vid rs first thx

[*NastyJR*]

ack i tried it when it was fine lol and it went to bad then tried again bad an stayed bad plus took longer then typing in /r_gamma 2 an then running autoexec gotta be way to get it i put seta r_gamma "2" first in my cfg an seta r_gamma "1" is farther down will see if it helps although sometimes i can be fraggin with vid ok then it changes and still will have to stop an type it in as running cfg will not fix it inless i type in /r_gamma 2 first in console
