Adjust Gamma

[Floydwick]

Hello!

So I've seen some threads where people suggest adjusting the gamma using the in-game console. ("+" followed by "gamma #")

Here's the thing: When I do this it does nothing to the gamma in-game. It only adjusts the gamma of the title screen. So I won't see any change, but the next time I log in the intro will be either darker or lighter. In game it is always the same. (too dark for me.)

I've posted something similar before. My BF's game is always on the lighter side. Even in the middle of the night it only seems like its dusk for him, he never needs to use light runes. For me, it is still a bit too dark even in day time. I can't see the colors of the walls inside my house during the day without light rune!

Other symptoms: Although I have a sky, I do not have the sun. I am not using the console modifier that removes the rendered sky.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

If your playing with HDR then the gamma command wont work the same as if the server has gamma disabled which is more common on pvp servers, I am unsure if dx9 or any start commands overrides this.
You also just dont type gamma, you type "gamma 4" or 3 or 5, normal gamma is 2.25.

Right, I know the command. It's the same as Ark. I only said "gamma #" because it'll vary.

I'm not playing with HDR, but I'm on an official server. I wonder if you can't do it on official.

GAPA? I might look into it, but I'd rather not have to rely on a secondary program. *sigh*

im on an official server and can adust gamma, i just press + on the Numeric Keypad to bring up the Small Command window, then type gamma 3
it makes it brighter but a bit too much contrast... need to know how to tone that down a bit - else gives me a headache

You can use decimal points, as KarmaComa pointed out above. While 'gamma 2.25' is normal, try different settings between 'gamma 2.75' and 'gamma 2.99' if you think 'gamma 3' is still too bright. I've used 'gamma 4' or 'gamma 5' at night on the volcano/dragon islands as it gets darker at night in those places than anywhere else on the Sacred Path map.

I did just that and the top 8 were cartoons about Odia fairy tales (whatever/whoever Odia is lol). Then the formula for gapA: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase A (gapA), then this Wikipedia[en.wikipedia.org] search page that doesn't mention the program.

There is also (selected copypasta from 2 pages):

Global Advocacy for Physical Activity (GAPA)
GAPA: Grandmothers Against Poverty and AIDS
Global Asphalt Pavement Alliance (GAPA)
Grid and Prefix Award Program aka GAPA
GAPA - Global Arts and Politics Alliance
Gray Academy Parent Association (GAPA)
DJ Enimoney – “Gapa” ft. CDQ, Chinko Ekun & B Banks - free download
Garrick Academy of Performing Arts, or the GAPA as it is now affectionately known

Wow, way to ressurect a year old thread, lol.

I just solved it by uninstalling the game. Too many terrible choices were made and I no longer trush this development team.

i wonder what other commands work... is Gamma the only one available on Public Servers?
