I'm not sure. Maybe a silly TV station video or something?

different maps different settings

No. If a section of map is too dark then it's because of 1 of 2 reasons;
1. The map is supposed to be like that which means it looks like that for everybody else and you're trying to get an advantage over other players to compensate for skill.
2. Your monitor isn't calibrated.

I'll admit that I have a crappy monitor that I bought 5 years ago. It has washed out colors and backlight streaks. But, it's calibrated. Even crappy low-end monitors can be calibrated to show colors and brightness *decently*. I never EVER have to touch in-game brightness, gamma or contrast.

"Different maps different settings" isn't a valid excuse because level designers typically have better computers and monitors that require less calibration and show colors accurately out of the box. Not to mention that there's plenty of beta testers for AA that gave averaged feedback for the maps. If everybody complained that one was too dark or too bright, the devs would change it. I've seen this kind of feedback on the AA beta forums.

I'm coming at this subject with common sense and trust in the designers (you know, the ones that do this for a living) that knew what they were doing when they created the specific environment. Now someone comes along with their bargain-bin Walmart monitor and thinks they know what the map should look like. I like to experience digital content (games, music, movies) the way the professional created it. If that makes you lol then I suggest you keep enjoying your low quality products and leave the quality products for those of us that enjoy them.

Just a note, the OP fixed their issue so I don't mind going off-topic.

This guy on the EpicGames forums is going to help out with this mod:

I got him setup with compiling and sent him various versions of the scripts. I told him too that I'd buy him a beer over Paypal for helping out.

i have binds to change brihtness gamma and contrass. everytime its too dark i press a button to get a better view and the other way around.

That makes me lol.

I have no idea I think it would be easier to just swap the corresponding .u file. Where's the FOV located in the .u's?

Yeah I have played some trippy maps on there. Not many people yet but hopefully that will improve.
Does it just cycle the mAAp maps or does it do the original maps as well?

It only cycles through mAAp right now but admins have the ability to change it to normal maps. But, when mAAp 7 comes out, I'm removing regular maps except for insurgent camp, I think that's the default fallback map and if it can't find it, the server just loops a restart.

Heh

But again, if the OP goes with a larger value FOV, the scope effect will just be worse.
