RRPThis crap is awesome, though such a shame LOD tweak + mat_showlowresimage 1 makes rocket trails and explosions so huge and dark. Also seems to make some see-through textures solid.

Looks like that cause you are on a local sv cheats server, NOT gonna look like that on any other normal server. See my screenshots

IrishhhhDoes this actually increase fps?

Nope. Not at all.

QuikCheesyMacgyverhave not tried it yet but I assume it gives better frames? if so I really hope this does not get fixed/banned or anything, I could possibly get consistent frames at mids/teamfights again.Should not be banned cause it was there before and does not give you any advantages, doesnt give better framerate either. Just different look.

so now the question remains, is there a command that creates the effects of showlowresimage without obscuring transparent textures?

What he was saying is that it looks like that if you have sv cheats on. On sv_cheats 0 servers it will look normal.

+mat_showlowresimage 1 is used to make blocky rocket trails/explosions trick. If you set a local server and type mat_showlowresimage 1 and then mat_showlowresimage 0 it will disable the command but you will still have blocky trails and explosions.
So basically +mat_showlowresimage 1 in launch options executes the command on game start and sets it back to 0 on any normal sv_cheats 0 servers.

Quik good idea

fix: doesnt work
tried putting

mat_filterlightmaps 1
exec lightmaps.cfg

into class configs

lightmaps.cfg = mat_filterlightmaps 0

fixed it
you just have to switch around your "1" and "0" and exec lightmaps first.

It's just in the class configs, you don't need to press any bind with his, nor rebind your movement keys.

I must be mistaken in how you have your configs set up, then.
Regardless, the method here works for me:

1. Make a lightmaps.cfg, with entry:
mat_filterlightmaps "1"

2. Make a default.cfg, with entries:
exec lightmaps
mat_filterlightmaps "0"

3. Make sure all class configs have the entry "exec default".

My maxframes.cfg also has mat_filterlightmaps "0", if that makes a difference.

Yes. It's as legit as putting tf2 into windowed mode or making it skip the valve logo screen.

oh man

mat_showlowresimage 1 is for the blocky explosions/rocket trails.
sv_pure 1 servers block the command, but the blocky effects will stay, and that's why we use that command.

If you just load a private server before connecting to an sv_pure 1 server, graphics and menus will look horrible.

Not sv pure, sv cheats.

Here is a better way to toggle it without binding it to your movement

//Minecraft
alias minecraft "mat_filterlightmaps 1;mat_filtertextures 1;bind j craftmine"
alias craftmine "mat_filterlightmaps 0;mat_filtertextures 0;bind j minecraft"
bind j minecraft

just double tap the key to make it work.

first of all you dont need shitty aliases, just use bind j "toggle mat_filterlightmaps"
and yeah good luck toggling it every map LOL

and whats wrong about binding it to your movement?

adding "wait 60; sv_cheats 0" to end of the autoexec clears up mainmenu and local servers before joining a online server.

There is nothing wrong with binding it to movement, you don't have to think about toggling every time.
Stop trying to find new ways to do this when this one already doesn't have any issues and is solid enough to use.
