Not sure if this is okay with the userbase. The qw community uses it and Quake 4 has them. Is it okay to use them in Quake 2 because it is kinda dark after all...

even though bright skins are used by alot of people, they arnt as widly accepted like they are in the qw community and are considered cheats

only the newbs consider them cheats

Its still debated whether its acceptable or not. Some view them as cheats since it isnt brought about by a command from the console. Which seems to be the "loose" rule on whether something is a cheat or not. i use them, i feel they reduce fatigue as the biggest factor. i'd also suggest modifying the light as most have done also. Play with "gl_modulate", and "intensity".

i'll include my config for some command examples.

I've never used them.. can someone hook me up with some good ones? i've been using Elysiums DM Skins he made a while back, not brightskins but better than the default q2 ones..

I use them also , not for trying to gain a advantage , but it's horrible on the eyes trying to see the defult q2 skins in open gl . I dunt really care what people say about em unless they want to pay for my vision insurance

Moding skins is basicly harmless , moding models , sounds , dlls etc... = cheats . imho

Nothing wrong with being able to see you opponent. I don't consider brightskins a cheat.

One other thing. I don't know too much about the Quake 2 mp scene but is there like a pro port kind of like FuhQuake only for Quake 2 that lets me force skins and has fullbright features and such?
