we all have different minotors

about calibrated monitor, wtf?

Calibrating your monitor should be the first thing you do the first time you use your monitor. Calibrate it and remember it's calibration settings. All monitors are different but calibrating them to a standard makes them display colors and brightness similar to one another.

 Personally, I prefer viewing games, watching videos and listening to music as it was recorded/edited/created by the person (professional) with properly calibrated electronics. If you call that absurd then you lose the argument.

You can see the red and green coronas from the objective appearing. Not sure why that happens.....

They're the cameras. The monitor/security desk is being rendered which is rendering the scripted textures which is rendering that part of the map behind the wall. You'll notice that I put a cull distance on the security desk so when you're outside, you're not rendering the inside parts of the map. I think this only happens on single player because the cameratextureclient scripted texture doesn't replicate properly in multiplayer thus raising fps and eliminating rendering issues like those lights. Basically, the screens on the monitors won't update (you can still view them by pressing E) but I still leave them in there since the image is rendered and not feeding off of an old image in a package.

Also this is the first time I've noticed this on the security cams, but there's some nice video grain going on. Does this mean we can apply full screen shaders/textures to modify the way the game looks? Id love to have a trigger-able bloom effect based on a volume your inside of

Yea, Crunk made that video grain. It is pretty nice. You'll have to poke around but I think an overlay could be coded in.

Fair 'nuff. I wouldn't take PBall too seriously anyway since it's purely a silly kill map LOL @ Ice though.

I was just starting my server on Ice and it wasn't showing up in the list. I think we should work on this map as it seems to have a lot of problems.

Haha, yea, I think so

Done. Added my files to it. I might go find v6 and put the other files in or do you just want to only have the files we're working on?

Shall we start a shared folder on Dropbox to collaborate on mAAp v7?

Bugs to fix:
Square - Z-fighting on building near Defense spawn
Bridge Construction - 2nd floor BSP tearing
Ice - Finish the map lol

Good excuse. I guess since hacks are public, it's fair to use them since everybody has access to them. Makes sense. Nevermind the level designers that have properly calibrated monitors and design levels with a standardized gamma, brightness and contrast yet here comes a 15 year old gamer that thinks they know better.

Point is, with a properly calibrated monitor, you shouldn't have to touch those settings in-game. They're for people who are lazy/ignorant with crappy TN monitors.
