Hehe quilty something getting at you jb

Was gonna ask you how to bind certain keys to increase brightness and contrast in cs is it possible because on certain maps ie train there are many black spots and you need a little more light....

Does any1 know the easier way to mute some1 one either then pressing esc etc?

You can't change either 'brightness' or 'gamma' while in game as they require you to restart or reconnect to the server(i forget which)

No to the second one either, it may be possible if there was a console command to ban someone's voice as this could be combined with a 'messagemode', but afaik there isn't a console commands so your stuck.

To Alter gamma ingame without restarting you need a programme called POWERSTRIP.

Just a 3 finger stab on the keyboard lets you alter it. CTRL ALT + or - takes the gamma up or down. Just a simple adjustment at the start of each map depending on the darkness it.

Now you know how people see you lurking in the shadows.

Is that in the spirit of the game? If there is a dark hidey hole to sit in shouldn't it be just that, a dark hidey hole? Why bother having maps at all, lets all stand in a big open field and blast away at each other! The more I think about it the more distasteful it becomes. Someone on Italy last night suggested quietening the radio by mean of 'sound_somebloody_thing 0 instead of shooting it!
Jeez!

The question was can u bind a key to gamma in CS well the answer is no.

But POWERSTRIP is a programme that u run at the same time as CS or any other application and it alters the gamma level of the monitor I believe.

I have to be honest and say that I used to use this tool but it does spoil the effects created on a lot of maps.
It was something that was recomended along with a patch called idgamma 1 or something similar in the past when some graphics cards showed a really dark screen no matter how much you turned up the brightness.

Since my brief fling with map making I ditched it realising that some dude had gone to a lot of effort in creating the scenery.

As to the spirit of the game ............I dunno.
But one thing I do know is that it isnt detected by a damn thing.
