Hello. I enjoy playing Tremulous, but ever since I've been playing it on my new Computer, the screen goes to it's normal brightness, then gets to a very dark grey color. This makes it difficult to play Tremulous.
How can I remedy this problem?
My system specs are:
Windows 7 64 Bit
HP Pavillion
4 GB
Quad Core
Intel Integrated Graphics
Thank you for your time.
/r_gamma 2. You can play with that number. I think it maxes at either 3 or 5. 2 should be plenty.

i have to do 3.5, but i must do it from xserver, the trem console command does not work for me.
i'm not on win7 anymore.
If you have flux (the screen filter) installed, you may have issues with trem brightness.
r_gamma is capped at 3 (2 in GUI). Though IMO starting from 1.6 it makes trem look like crap.
I remember using something like r_mapoverbrightbits it adds brightness(not the correct term probably) to map
but I don't remember its range

r_mapOverBrightBits is defaulted at 2, I use 3, some people I know got to use 5. No idea of the upper limit.
OMFG Qrntz, I love you. I had no idea about that, and I would play on gamma 3 . Now I play on gamma 1 and mapoverbrightbits 9.

No problem, lol.
15 as the upper limit seems reasonable anything higher may cause overflow
( worst case (2^8-1)*(2^15)*(2^8-1)<2^31=int_max on most systems ; R_ColorShiftLightingBytes )
edit:
probably you won't see any difference after 8

I have this problem too with my Intel HD 3000 graphics on my HP Pavilion dv6tqe. The brightness bar doesn't do anything and neither does using the gamma command. But I don't care because I have a jacked up model with an AMD 6770, so I just use that. Here's what happens with the 6770: Starts up trem. Desktop gets really really bright. (normal) then it suddenly dims again and trem starts, extremely dark. r_gamma command doesn't work. I have to go into options every time I play and tweak the brightness bar before my gamma works. Not too big of a deal but seems interesting that only HP dv6t laptops do this...
