Gamma setting and SubGuru's toned down stars

Palindromeria · 10-07-06, 01:24 PM

I wish i had known about the gamma setting in dangerouswaters.ini sooner

having set it to "0.8" i now see much more in narrowband.

This also causes the already ridiculously bright starlight reflections off the water surface ( in daylight !! ) to become absolutely ludicrous.

The subguru "toned down stars" just became an ESSENTIAL
component to my setup. THANKS Bill !

Just open with notepad the dangerouswaters.ini file.
You'll find a line .Gamma "" under the [Graphics] section of the file if no value has been entered.
Choose for instance 0.8 as your value so the line becomes .Gamma "0.8"
Thats it.
If the DW.ini file does not contain the .Gamma entry just add it by hand.

No, it was a new feature for DW... You can change the setting in your video card drivers for SC though (nVidia and ATI both have controls for Gamma in their various driver suites).
