Xonotic Forums

Ok, this is going to be long story.

I have been playing Xonotic some time on Arch Linux, 0.6 version, stable. And this is rocket launcher I have been using:

PIC A



Big, bright, light sphere as a projectile, very slow.

Recently I have moved to Ubuntu 12.04, installed game from playdeb repo, 0.6 version.

I go to DCC CTF, and my RL is different:

PIC B



Missile is fast, less bright, more smoked.

I have spent a lot of time with MrBougo on IRC trying to debug problem. Nothing helped. Removing profile or reinstalling game. I have downloaded ZIP from Xonotic website and RL is like on PIC B. Okay. MrBougo explained me, that this is RL, period.
I go back to DCC CTF and RL was like on PIC B.

Okay, I have played yesterday on DCC TDM, and RL is again like on PIC A.

What the heck?

Same goes with electro weapon. It varies. From huge, blue balls to this:

Uncheck "Fake corona lighting" in effects menu, that's what it looks like to me.

I have no idea why it would be different from server to server tho, that is indeed odd.

Yep, first pic is definitely fake corona lighting. When I first started playing the game, I played on low settings, which uses fake corona lighting. I actually thought that was how the rockets were supposed to look. It really made me disappointed in the game.

I don't know why it would change from server to server. Try turning on dynamic lighting. That will disable fake corona lighting automatically, and it's very easy to tell when your dynamic lighting is on and off.

I honestly doubt the missile speed is changed.

Maybe the type of lighting is different for the two maps in your example screenshots. Try testing on the same map in the same position, you may have already done this and eliminated this cause.

I vaguely recall a cl_cmd that lists server changes. Try it on several servers and compare them.

I made him do that already. It wasn't a cl_cmd, it was a cmd.
cmd cvar_changes

It was fake corona lights. Thanks guys, marking solved.
