I recently downloaded Qrack and have a few issues that I'm unable to resolve along with some other questions. For some reason the quake skin colors are the same for everyone , so I can not differentiate between players on my team, or on another team. I have downloaded the 24-bit paks off "http://www.quakeone.com/ctfre/" and used the cl_teamskin 1 command. Secondly I'm having the same issue as a previous poster had, which is the text is very grainy and unreadable in the console, I've tried a clean installation of qrack without messing with the config and it still has this problem. I used the suggestions that rook replied with "gl_smoothfonts 1, gl_loadits 0, and r_dynamic 0." The only one command that is recognized is "r_dynamic 0" and it did not help.
Lastly I have been messing around with all of the commands to try and figure out a config that I am comfortable with, unfortunately I'm not very patient and got sick of messing around with everything, so I came to this forum to see if there were any configs posted. In a thread I found a config posted by papasmurf, the description of the config seemed to fit what I was looking for, so I just deleted my autoexec.cfg and replaced it with his completely. To my surprise my ping was lowered by 10 on every server. It's always been the same whether I'm using glproquake, or qrack, until I used his suggestions for my autoexec.cfg. I was wondering if someone could offer an explanation as to why my ping was lowered so dramatically.
Thanks
