I don't know this one, but I THINK you have to code it. Not sure tho. I mean other than +set map blah > 2. What affect does -level 4 on vis and -extra on qrad have? -level 4 increases the amount of calculations done on a map so it will run THAT MUCH FASTER.

Intel improved the chip as the tech got newer, so my 166 and the 200s are fine. They have the extra memory, etc. BTW - Might wanna upgrade the memory too. I know it's expensive, but it pays off all over the place. > 4. Can I see coloured lights with just plain Quake2? Hehehe. Not yet. I talked to John Cash about this, and he said Zoid MIGHT hack in something like this in order for us uncool software people to see colored lights, but remember: the colors chosen would ONLY be from a 256 color palette. So the lights are basically guaranteed to look like shit, unless of course he hacks in 16-bit color. Wouldn't that be nice. =D Later. Edge -- "Why gentlemen we stand here idle?
