Setting cl_burninggibs to '1' will cause the gibs from players who are killed while on fire to display fire effects. Instead, the game always loads non-hwm models now (as of 3/15/14). Note: as of testing these cvars and using "developer 2" to print loaded models to the console, these cvars appear not to work anymore. It does not work for the Pyro, and none of the models will have their heads colored when covered in Jarate (doesn't count for Pyro). This makes player models more detailed and gives them more realistic facial expressions. Setting mp_usehwmmodels and mp_usehwmvcds to '1' enables the hard ware morphs versions of the player models, as seen in the Meet the Team videos. Mp_usehwmmodels and mp_usehwmvcds (defunct) This means that an offset can be induced at the baseline quality level (mat_picmip 0 is the highest), and mat_picmip -1 ("very high") will make textures go one mip level up if they are set to be using a lower mip level in the VTF - which is the case for some of TF2's world textures, and most of its very small props, for video memory optimization purposes. The reason why some textures could see vast improvements in quality is because with the initial release of the Orange Box, Valve added a resource data system to the Valve Texture Format, which could be used to set the "default" quality of a texture to a lower mipmap level. This was done to address "significant performance and instability issues" for some users. See the comparison image above.Īs of the JPatch, mat_picmip is locked between -1 and 4, corresponding to the settings which have always been available in the game's menu under the "Texture detail" dropdown. This setting used numbers ranging from -10 to 4, -10 being the best quality and 4 being the worst. Mat_picmip was the most well-known settings and had one of the biggest visual "gains". This mainly affects skinned weapons, and the Engineer's blueprints that appear when using the build tool. A side effect of Texture Streaming is that certain textures will appear "blurry" or "low quality" for the first few seconds of them being in view. It also helps load the game faster as it loads or "streams" textures on the fly as they appear. Its purpose was to maintain support and performance of older systems. Texture Streaming was added in the Tough Break Update. This makes skinned weapons appear sharp and clean the second they appear. Disabling Texture Streaming forces the game to load high quality textures of an object.
Setting no_texture_stream in the autoexec.cfg file or in Steam launch options disables Texture Streaming.
