Pub cfg vs pretty cfg - draft contents

AndriyProg · 25 Jul 2026 at 11:00 · permalink

Concrete draft, not theory. What belongs in a "pub" profile vs a "pretty" profile so we stop debating screenshots vs FPS in voice.

Pub: particles down, foliage off option, no silly high shadows. Pretty: defaults for screenshots and media thread.

Checkpoint with high shadows is unplayable for me. Pub cfg is not placebo. I measured it.

I already keep two configs by hand. Shipping them in Downloads saves the argument.

I will test on peak et-1 and report FPS before/after if you drop a zip.

Comp rules still freeze hitbox mods. This is QoL only. If the zip stays clean, ship it.

Disk is fine. Keep it small. Changelog that lists every cvar you touch.

As long as new people can still see enough to learn the map. Do not make pub cfg a black soup.

Agreed. I will draft with Ghostfox this week and post the cvar list here before it goes live.
