There's a thread on it in the main Valve Games section (somewhere), also speaking of mat_picmip -10, during a 6 hour TF2 session today I accidentally ended it by typoing mat_picmip -109
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry
I looked but only saw the picmip
mat_picmip -10
r_lod 1
mp_usehwmmodels 1
mp_usehwmvcds 1
cl_new_impact_effects 1
cl_burninggibs 1
mat_motion_blur_forward_enabled 1
mat_specular 1
mat_parallaxmap 1
That's pretty much all you need.
[b]r_lod -1[/b] is the correct command. That way everything stays the highest possible quality.
[b]cl_new_impact_effects 1[/b] actually looks worse. Better off having it set to 0.
[b]mat_motion_blur_forward_enabled 1[/b] has a poor transition which is why Valve left it on 0. Because it doesn't look that good.

You're wrong about r_lod; it's supposed to be 0. -1 is marked as a cheat, so 0 is the best you can do.
You thinking the impact effects look worse is a matter of your own opinion. The new impact effects use a dedicated particle system which changes the direction the particles fly from and the amount of particles created based on the trajectory of the impact. The particles also dynamically collide with the world. It's a lot better-looking if you're really looking for it, trust me. A lot more debris exploding out of the walls does not mean it's better.
I do agree about motion_blur_forward_enabled, though. It's pretty buggy, so it's best to just keep it off.
Here's what I use, commented by yours truely:

Where do i put it? :downs:
In your cfg folder. Make sure you call it autoexec and save it as file type .cfg.
Also, ignore the stuff about requiring an ATI graphics card for the HWM stuff. It's bullshit.
Stick it at the bottom of skill_episodic.cfg, that's what I did.
Uhm, Neko, I have an ATI card :geno:
All those are missing the best of the game to max out

I used this and now my games, [b]ALL[/b] of them look like ass now. Seriously, I maxed out TF2 and it's got the lowest textures you can give it.
Why won't anyone use cl_ragdoll_fadetime. Am I the only one? It looks so much better, otherwise the corpses fade out almost instantly, I have it at like 300 or so.
[editline]11:56PM[/editline]
Oh wait it is in the config, oh it's at 999999999-, lol it won't help to have it that high.
Try setting it to anything lower than a second.
It's funny seeing what ragdolls look like the split second when they die/stop moving.
Like if they hit a wall.
Wait, setting it to -1 will make the ragdolls permanent?
[QUOTE=BulletofHell;16252387]Wait, setting it to -1 will make the ragdolls permanent?[/QUOTE]
Think about 'em instant respawn servers. The ground is littered with ragdolls!
I think I'll go play around with this.
I was thinking of a different command when I posted that.
Apparently you can't have infinite ragdolls. Even setting the fade time to hours, one million max ragdolls, they still just dissapear when the same player of a ragdoll dies. So if I die, then die again, my last ragdoll dissapears. :(:(:(
Valve takes preventive measures to make sure that you won't lag.
Good job.
cl_ragdoll_physics_enable 0 = lol
I've tested that command before.
It's not cool.
They just disappear as soon as they die.
I can't wait to try these commands once I get my new graphics card. Hopefully I will be able to handle them.
Software AA sucks
Thanks for this, have been looking to make my TF2 look as good as possible :buddy:
