POLL: Allow disabling of textures in multiplayer? (wld_bRenderTextures)

[Scratch]

Should disabling of textures be allowed in multiplayer using wld_bRenderTextures?

Side by side comparison:

[BoyZyatoR]

Yes because in other games it's just an option which you can use, all pro players in quake for example use that. Someone who has bad comp, can use this to make game run very good, and increase FPS.

[AmcoTraD]

it should be everyones own decision, i personally consider people who play old games like this without details ( ) very dumb, because if u hate textures why dont u simply play tetris?

some guys are still using old and crappy notebooks and they shouldnt be forced to play with 10 fps only

[BlacK SpiRiT]

no, this is a cheat!

[Barktooth]

Don't care about this [it's not gonna improve FPS.. maybe 1 or 2 more but what difference does that make?] but speaking of this, I think you should simply make the fog in Lost Tomb a LITTLE bit less opaque

[ProvoCation]

no...this is quite a texture hack from my point of view

So whole quake community which is bigger than this is a cheat?

[BoyZyatoR]

It's not a cheat imo, look at shadows, don't you consider them as a cheat? I think there will be poll about shadows too. In many other pro games all pro gamers use simple settings.

It's not about the graphics, it's about the gameplay.

I dont think ppl who play games like ss classic should care about graphic quality.

[BlacK SpiRiT]

I think we are talking about Serious Sam not Quake, fuck Quake, we want the same game if u pretend it to work well. I mean white walls are always been considered cheat, why should we allow it now? I remember it was years ago when all attacked zeb for sharing this "white walls" cheat, and now Croteam itself wants to allow it? This sounds so brainless you put anticheat VAC, but allow cheats like hacked textures. I will say you more, this will give a huge difference between who uses the white walls, and who for example doesnt want to use this crappy texture like me, and game will be extremly unbalanced, cos white walls make u see things easier; and it's not like shadows, because shadows are visible only in certain points of Shotty map, in other maps are almost useless, so they should stay.
Who doesnt like Serious Sam must go out and play Quake, but i personally want the same game; making useless changes will just avoid people to play it.

And btw, gratz to the thread maker, you make not public poll so it can be cheated easy

Go watch some quake tournaments and if you see one player not playing with low settings you would really surprise me..

[freigeist]

always watch q3 tourneys and some movies. And never seen this shit.
Btw u said "all pro players use that"
For example me never used this

[HanG]

Yes. Boyz is right. As I remember on tourneys in quake its forced to use white textures so its a rule there. Believe me that there are a lot of players that cant play this game normal. I know the guy who has 250 ms and pwns everything because he has good computer with lot of fps. Another dude has the same ping but he has hardware lags and very big lags after everyfrag which make you free target for even 20 seconds. Its like this just because he cant buy enough good hardware.
