My Q3: Arena is too dark!!!! Help

[sammy g]

when I start up quake3 the game gets very dark. I was wondering what the ingame tweak is to raise the brightness. I tried using the ingame slider but that does dick. oh btw I have a prophet ddr-dvi, p3 900, and msi6309.
thanks,

I would recommend use make an autoexec foe Q3.
I made 1 for Q2 and it works great for fixing brightness and other things as well.

Here is the link if your interested.

There finally got it to work right!

The new HTML functions are harder to use than i thought!

You can also try just typing:

/r_overbrightbits x
/r_intensity 1.4
/r_ignorehwgamma 1

in the console, and then follow it up with a:

/vid_restart

In your config file there is a line seta r_gamma "x". Just change the "x" number to something like 1.5 to 2.0, save the file and start up Q3. You can also type it in the console after you have started the game.
