Disabling Player and Item Outline Glows?

[Cipher Pasta]

I want to know if there is a way to disable the Outline that shows on items and players completely (By console, mods, config, anyway) without playing on Realism mode. I've looked in alot of places and only found how to change the colors of them, I just want to completely remove them in my normal gamemode.

I too would like that.

Do these here works?

sv_disable_glow_survivors 1
sv_disable_glow_faritems 1

But somehow I think it only works when put directly into an server.

[Munkee]

Anyway to do it without needing cheats?

I will mess with some commands and look.

I saw those in another post and they didn't work for me in singleplayer, I found alot of cl_glow commands, but some required Cheats to be Enabled, I still want to be able to earn achievements

[Munkee]

Ok for no item glow.. idk if it works 100%

But cl_glow_item_g 0 (replace G with b and r also to 0)

cl_glow_item_far_g 0 (same as above)

This removed my item glows like realism. I will post when I learn survivor glows if possible. But it changes the outline color to black, and doesn't show on my screen anymore.

No cheating involved.

[Munkee]

oh ok. then just cl_glow_survivor_g 0 (same as the outlines for items but names still show.)

[Munkee]

nevermind. it doesn't save when you reload the game

[Cipher Pasta]

Do this,
--------
bind n "cl_glow_item_b 0; cl_glow_item_r 0; cl_glow_item_g 0; cl_glow_item_far_b 0; cl_glow_item_far_r 0; cl_glow_item_far_g 0; cl_glow_survivor_b 0; cl_glow_survivor_r 0; cl_glow_survivor_g 0"
--------
Copy and paste all of that into your console, and replace "n" with any key you want to use then in game, just press it and it'll work, the bind will work when the game also reloads, so this is near perfect, just need to get rid of player names

To do it without cheats, you’d need a mutation to change the glow values. Would allow you to get achievements still.

[Munkee]

Ah, thank you. :)

If you want this to run all the time, and you don't mind not being able to undo it in-game, I can spare you the effort of pressing n every time you play.

Go to your autoexec.cfg (it will be in your l4d2 folder's cfg subfolder). Add all of the cl_glow_xyz's there. autoexec.cfg is run every time the game loads.

I don't think cl_glow_xyz are cheat protected. They are client-side "cvars".

Gosh, I can't remember if there's a way to disable the name floating above the survivor's head. There might be with sourcemod. There may also be cvars that control things like "how far above the survivor's head is the name written", and you could just make that value so unreasonably large that it is rendered offscreen.

Awesome, I'll give that a try
