Since im having a crappy 3dcard, i was wondering if i could disable or enable 32bit textures in nocheat. I mean, on certain maps my fps are reduced by 30-50%, but on other maps i dont get fps drops. So is there a command for?

play with vid_ref "gl" for the old textures

play with vid_ref "ncgl" for 32bit textures.

i think :)

I'm no expert either, but you could just try removing the .tga texture files from your action folder? :)

Well, what i actually meant was.. that crimson (the map by vermin) overwrote some urban2 textures, which i didnt want ;)

and.. in deepcanyon some textures make me drop fps but those are the same as in tj (some of them), cause if i would remove them, i get 8bit threes in tj for example, in tj they dont lag.. cause its a small area, just the threes.. but in deepcanyon its a bigger area.

So on certain maps i would like to disable them.

The textures that really affect your FPS are the see through high resolution textures. i.e. water, fences and fancy smoke.

tbh the tga textures on tj are a bit to strong, if you just want the tga trees, keep the tree textures and remove the rest? :D
