I hate this because it limits us gl users just because other software using people dont have fast enough computers  

Why should we have to be limited just for wanting to see doom even better than software users?

Meh, bumping gamma up does increase view somewhat in dark area's, so it can be effective. Maps dont always have to be dark anyway. If anything, being able to spot your opponent first is quite critical, but who doesnt use OpenGL these days if they can.
Hmm... In any case i would be against using this command when it comes to gameplay. If its just for the fancy visuals, meh.

It's not even about that, it's playing the map the way the author intended it.

This is probably one of the biggest problems with ZDoom/GZDoom/Skulltag/Etc. They are way to user friendly and map makers either have to go through needless ACS just to enforce the users to play their maps right, or leave the player to his/her honor.

Every game I play I configure for optimal gameplay/advantages rather than graphics.It's really frustrating when all of a sudden your cfg is blocked and has totally changed. I rather not play than playing with those different settings.

Darn communists

Can't do that in software. Also not all software users has shit computers. Some just like that it feels like DooM. Such as myself.

It's your choice and preference to play with 5 pixels on your screen. You have the ability to do otherwise but you won't.
So don't go complaining.

[TERRORsphere]

WTF are you talking about? 5 pixels? I actually have less pixels on the screen in OGL to get a good FPS rate rather than in software where I can have it 1600 x 900 70fps.

i meant it looks ugly

[TERRORsphere]

i meant it looks ugly

only if you have your gamma way up.

[Frits]

The point of this command was to force the settings required/recommended by the maps without intruding on their configuration. Before, Hide and Seek used this stupid ass brute-force tactic that actually forced your GL settings to default, and kept it that way until you changed it in an environment that didn't have Hide and Seek's scripts present.

For singleplayer, yes I totally agree.For Multiplayer, no.
