BL1P 35 Posted May 9, 2013 ARMA 2: OA beta build 93825 (1.60 MP compatible build, post 1.60 release) [93812] Fixed: Restrict gamma value set by profile [93809] Fixed: Restrict brightness value set by profile At one point we could lock the gamma and brightness on a server. But it seems it was removed any ideas why ? Or if its still possible to do in some other way now ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted May 9, 2013 can anyone else confirm ? what build is affected ? 104648 ? which build was last when it was working fine ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BL1P 35 Posted May 9, 2013 The version of beta on the server we are running is "Beta patch 102591" And gamma and brightness can be turned upto 2.0 and 1.5 How would we go about doing any tests to see if this function/restriction is working correctly or not ?

Dwarden 1125 Posted May 9, 2013 set it e.g. to 5.0 in client's profile file (while game isn't running) and then start it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted May 10, 2013 so I tested 1.62.104648 and i'm unable to set the value beyond maximum in GUI ... value of 10 is ignored from profile file, so all works as it should so where is the bug? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BL1P 35 Posted May 10, 2013 Maybe im missing the point of the addition to the beta. I was thinking it was so that servers can restrict the amount players can turn up gamma and brightness. as in the servers profile has the gamma and brightness settings of :- gamma=1; brightness=1; but even with them set at =1 you can still turn up your gamma to 2.0 and brightness to 1.5. Sorry if im being dumb just trying to figure this out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted May 10, 2013 no it's just clientside limit so you can't set values over GUI max, there is no server side control on this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O I think I get what its doing now. It just stops people going above GUI settings of 2.0 for gamma and 1.5 for brightness ok sorry to bother you Ill go see if I can find a way to restrict it to defaults of 1.0 and 1.0 somehow So we can play nights knowing none are using high gama. Thank you very much for your help sorry I misunderstood the purpose of the feature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted May 10, 2013 just use image tone mapping :) e.g. in mission's init.sqf "filmic" setToneMappingParams[0.153,0.357,0.231,0.1573,0.011,3.750,6,4]; setToneMapping"Filmic"; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BL1P 35 Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) just use image tone mapping :) e.g. in mission's init.sqf"filmic" setToneMappingParams[0.153,0.357,0.231,0.1573,0.011,3.750,6,4]; setToneMapping"Filmic"; Thanks again but ... Actually this is already in the init.sqf Copied from init.sqf :- "filmic" setToneMappingParams [0.153, 0.357, 0.231, 0.1573, 0.011, 3.750, 6, 4]; setToneMapping "Filmic"; Should that stop it ? Because if so it isnt :) Edited May 10, 2013 by BL1P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted May 10, 2013 yet why you think it's solveable (more than limitations we imposed and use of filmic) anyone can increase gamma / brightness via injectors like sweetFX post process , via AMD/NVIDIA drivers and via monitor settings ...

All true. was just looking for a way to play night without people just turning up gamma ingame. If it cant be done.. it cant be done. no worries perm day is cool aswell.
