item and character brightness

[MUSICPOWA]

yeah just wondering if anyone knew any commands that would increase the brightness of items and character skins

I think its gl_modulate.
then hit "vid_restart" to see the changes.

When I use it, gl_modulate would increase the brightness of items and skins immediately, then vid_restart would increase the brightness of the entire level.

On my system (with r1gl) these values seemed to yield a reasonable balance between map brightness and entity brightness:

set gl_texture_lighting_mode 1
set gl_contrast 0.8
set gl_saturation 1 
set gl_modulate 4
set intensity 1
set vid_gamma 0.6 

set gl_coloredlightmaps 1
set gl_doublelight_entities 1

// texture quality
set gl_ext_texture_filter_anisotropic "1"
set gl_ext_max_anisotropy "16"           
set gl_ext_multisample "1"
set gl_ext_samples "8"
set gl_ext_nv_multisample_filter_hint "nicest"

 I'm liking Quadz suggestion makes q2 look far nicer then, the way I had it setup previous.
