Unwanted special effects - how to get rid of them

Post by crunch_time »

Recently, my bzflag install spontaneously changed to have certain special effects that I really don't want. Examples: large bloom when firing laser, brackets around a tank targeted with GM, Red\Green markers following the Red/Green flags. Not sure how these were toggled on. Fancy Effects are turned off in Effects menu. How do I get rid of these special effects?

Perhaps you changed the graphics quality from High to Experimental? That would enable HUD markers for team flags and the GM lock target and also switch to using geometry for some of the shot types.
