Make Counter-Strike: Source Look More Realistic!

[Elliot B.]

Step-by-step:

1) Run Counter-Strike: Source

2) Click on Options and ensure you're on the Multiplayer tab (first one).

3) Click on the Advanced button and change your 'Multiplayer decal limit' to 4096.000000 (the maximum).

This will make the decals (blood splatters, bullet holes, sprays etc.) remain in the round 4 times longer than the default time. Works awesome in cs_office!

NOTE: Only do this if you're currently running the game at 50+ FPS average else your low FPS will only get worse as the round goes on.

So the fact that a construction crew comes and replaces all the crates, cabinets, and glass after each round doesn't take away from the realism factor for you? :p

Seriously, if my laptop was a little more powerful, I'd try this out. Cool trick!

I wish i could run it satisfactorally atm, without this!

Ah well.

The engine lowers it to 4094, have a look.

Well it's quadrupling the time decals stay on the map, so it will affect some players who's computers are dying on it as it is.

Meh I dont have a high enough FPS for this. Nice though.
