From ed42482fd448578e29a8d6610c3c8f0874479b81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Timothy C. McGrath" Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2001 07:35:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Updated cfgs to show the new cl_max_particles cvar - it REALLY HELPS. Also removed gl_smooth from the glspeed.cfg - no idea why it was there, since I had already replaced it. Whoops.
