1/9

One of the interesting things about the CoD4 competitive mod Promodlive (NA or EU versions) and itspredecessor Promod, is that you can modify (that is, tweak) many more in-game settings than you can inthe stock game.The additional tweakage options were coded in to enhance aspects of CoD4 to benefit the competitiveplayers who value visibility and frame-rate above eye-candy and realism.Most of these tweaks can be done within the Promodlive menu itself.

Two of the more useful options deal with lighting and color. These can be selected using thePromod menu system bind (should be the "B" key) which replaces the Quick Message options inCoD4. Look for Option 5: Promod Graphics. Then, Click Promod Lighting and/or Enhanced Colors.

Promod LightingPromod lighting makes it much better to spot players, especially on sun-lit (and evenovercast) maps. Here is Overgrown. The light on the ground really shows up and any player caught in thelight will be spotted easily.


3/9

Enhanced ColorPromodlive's menu system allows you to select either a "stock" or "enhanced" coloroption. Frankly, neither are suited well for all maps.Here are some screens taken with constant gammason all. The first is the bluish stock colors.

This uses the enhanced color scheme in Promod. The shift towards yellow increases your chance

seeing the dark-hued tones of the opposing players.

Fortunately, we are not tied to just these two variations.


4/9

Competitive player Smithie at Tek9, has suggested binding various color combinations and tints into yourconfig_mp.cfg and selecting them for each specific map you are on.

Much of these binds related to the dvar family r_filmtweak. These have been known about for some time(see [url=http://www.bashandslash.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=19&p=2059#p2054 ]here[/url]); however,Promodlive removes cheat protection on these in the mod. These binds d not work outside of Promodlive.As well you have to have the enhanced color mode selected.For example, here are his binds. Note thatthe screenshots don't do these justice and they should be viewed on your own screen andassessed. As well, the screens below were all taken with constant gamma.

NOTE: You must have selected "Enhanced Colors" for these binds to work.

Keeping with graphics-related tweaks, another interestingpost, this one from Jan "paradox-" Duchon(who borrowed this from a post at Insidiae), suggests the following additional visual-related binds:

Graphics related

bind F5 "openscriptmenu quickpromodgfx 1" - sunlight ON/OFF

bind F6 "openscriptmenu quickpromodgfx 2" - STOCK/ENHANCED colorsbind F7 "openscriptmenu quickpromodgfx 4" - normalmap ON/OFF

9/9

::team colors/names::

The game resets those commands after few seconds so you have to bind them.

seta g_teamcolor_myteam "R G B A"seta g_teamcolor_enemyteam "R G B A"seta g_ScoresColor_Allies "R G B A"seta g_ScoresColor_Axis "R G B A"seta g_TeamColor_Allies "R G B A"seta g_TeamColor_Axis "R G B A"seta g_ScoresColor_Spectator "R G B A"seta g_TeamName_Axis "Defence"seta g_TeamName_Allies "Attack"

The bind for it looks for example like this one:

bind TAB "+scores; g_scorescolor_allies 0 0 0 0; g_scorescolor_axis 0 0 0 0;g_teamname_allies ^8Marines; g_teamname_axis ^9Opfor"

or "W" like this:

bind W "+forward; g_teamcolor_myteam 0 1 1 0; g_Teamcolor_allies 0 0.9 0.6 1;g_Teamcolor_axis 1 0.5 0.5 1"
