Iam wondering were are all the useful Console Commands gone, like r_showtris, r_showtricounts and so on. And were is the useful Cinematic Colorcorrection Tool for Posteffect Colorgraining? IW shows the community a video "Lighting in Call of Duty 4" or something like that. That shows us the Dynamic Shadow stuff and the Colorgrading tool. How its possible to get access to it? In my point of view as a artist this is really important to make the mood on a map perfect!

Thx for help and finding out...

Yeah! I was thinkking about that to!, they show a cool video with realtime adjusting. I thought sweeetttt, now thats easy to set a mood in a map. Well errhhhh... where it is? Thought we would get 'the tools'?

...Well i see Valve made it easy again:

In my opinion its a little shame. IW tries to make the community work better. But the last changes in the IW Wiki are really long time ago. And many other important stuff is missing. Many problems with the maptools, the custommap folder, missing textures after patch 1.5 and so on are all signs for rush work and not carefully tested.

In my opinion, Valve is the one and only company that understand how powerful a community and there wiki page is....

I just hope that IW will learn as much as possible from them...

We never get DevGUI in CoD games, get used to it.
Someone can create a GUI if they wanted, it's just changing DVARs around.
And you CAN change the real-time lighting, heck, I even did it with the demo and told people how to at the IW forum.

It's a shame mdS can't try things on his own. Hopefully you learn as much as possible from the IW devs, they didn't have any help from developers back when they were modding and trying to get jobs, and look where they're at.

Oh i see, someone is pissed off. Maybe for u its normal to try the stuff out over hours/days/weeks/month.

And just for your information, iam not that kind of person that dont try stuff out. Look my postings.. its really impossible that iam a noob that dont know how the world is rotating. if so, my posting will be much higher. but thanks for your comment about a person u dont know.

And if u post it allready in the IW Forum, give me an answer in the IW Forum where i can find it or do it here. Or go and let me alone if u dont want to help.

U can find the same Topic like this in the IW Forum. THX!!

That's part of modding and developing... trial and error, tweaking, testing testing, practicing.
Surprised you just don't ask IW to develop the map for you.

Couldn't take your own medicine. I may not know you personally, but I can sense you're quite ignorant and lazy by the content of the post you wrote in reply to me.

And here's that thread where I posted the sun stuff, there's other cool stuff in the thread too:

@Sparks
Forget it! Get older. I dont wanna fight against u coz i just ask a simple question. And yes u are again right.. Iam ignorant and lazy. U have a really good human knowledge. Respect!!

@Intosia
Yep they are Dvars for it. I found them. And it will be really nice if u can script a gui for it. I cant script, if i can i will do it on my own and will share it.
