[rev]

gl_flashblend 0 should stop that ^^^

[:fvamp]

Thanks for replyin guys. it's funny because when i first started qw, I thought it was weird that people said it was ok to modify enemy skins, but not ok to modify the lightning graphic. So now, between qw, cpm, pk, warsow, and whatever else game i play that has fullbrights, its hard for me to play w/o it. :f

Is it considered cheating to take out the damage flashes when you get hit? Is that even possible in qrack?

Powerup glow is done by the mod that runs on the server; RemakeQuake for example does it. You need an engine that supports it - Qrack, Darkplaces.

Original netquake didn't have this; it was added to Quakeworld. Netquake mods have to backport it.

I think you can have client side skin etc. replacements. I'm not sure if there is something like f_modified in Netquake.

Do any of the nq clients support fullbright enemy skins?

Fullbright skins are considered a cheat in NQ.

Qrack has the blue Quad glow on certain CTF servers, but generally that is not an original NetQuake feature (but was an original feature in QW) and most servers don't support it.
