Combat arms graphic tweaks

nekrael · 06-06-2008, 12:35 PM

While playing combat arms I noticed that the actual in-game graphics are considerably different when compared to what is shown on the trailers, and some settings are locked. Some of the locked settings include bloom amongst a few other things.

After a while of browsing through the combat arms files, I stumbled across player.txt. You can simply modify the options that are locked by changing the settings stored in this .txt document.

Where the file is located: X:\Program Files\Combat Arms\Profiles\
("X" being the letter of the drive Combat Arms is currently installed on)

Before making any changes I suggest you make a copy of player.txt elsewhere as a backup incase the changes cause issues.

Example, say you want to enable bloom. You can't normally turn on this option through the in-game settings menu. So open up player.txt and under [settings] look for:
EnableBloom = 0

Simply change the 0 to a 1 to enable bloom.

There are numerous things that can be enabled that are locked on the in-game settings menu. I dont have the time right now to list all of them, just the example above.

I did NOT test this on any other pc then my laptop. So I can't be sure that some options are intended to be locked or not, even if this is just a bug that some settings are locked it can be useful for those who are looking for a way to enable certain settings without a re-install or whatever would normally be required to fix the bug (Assuming it is a bug. Some of them may just be features not yet finished)

Edit: I didn't feel like making a new post for this, but you can replace the waiting room sound files with any mp3 of your liking. Simply rename it to "WAITINGROOM_LOOP" and toss it in ..\Combat arms\Game\BGM\
