I'm new to Quake
i was looking at some youtube video of competitive matches and saw that some of the video settings are different from the default. like the textures were bland. Is that what everyone uses in quake competitive?
If so, how do i change it to that bland texture?

There's a 'pro' default setting.

there is a sticky somewhere in this section with links to a page with configs

Thx Bilbin, im downloading it now

I read that sticky and i didn't see a link to configs.

from the "Custom huds and configs thread"

oh and ..

www.cybergamer.com.au/forums/thread/211946/QL-config-help/

can try mine out if you want.

Oh in the Sticky it just said HUD not HUD/config with that same link, and i was looking for a config only. Thanks for both links ill have a look.

the specific console command you're after is picmip, it ranges from 1-15 with 15 being the lowest detail.

the reason i use the lowest possible picmip is because i find it a lot easier to aim because the map textures don't overpower the crosshairs and the enemy model stands out more.

on the downside though, it looks very very bad

just bring down the console and go /r_picmip xx then do a /vid_restart

All good now i got it the way i wanted. Thx for the help anyway.
