Brightskin is a special setting in AfterShock, which turns enemy and team models bright. This makes them easier to notice and thus makes it faster to react in a right way. It's also helpful to see enemies on really dark maps. Thanks to brightskins, you don't need to change your brightness settings to make effective kills.
To set the commands below, use console.
How to enable brightskins?[]
To make a use of this setting, you just have to set cg_forcemodel 1 (it should be set to 1 by default). Now you're ready to customize brightskins for your own preferences and aesthetic feel.
Customizing brightskins[]
First thing to set is enemy and team player models. You can force enemy model with cg_enemymodel and team model with cg_teammodel to a specified one. You can also set models per team (for red and blue team) when you're spectating a match with cg_blueteammodel and adequately cg_redteammodel. Allowed values for these cvars are: sarge/pm, skelebot/pm, smarine/pm and major/pm.
After this, you're able to set colors for 3 body parts: head, torso and legs.Use these commands to set your colors for each part of body:
cg_enemyHeadColor, cg_enemyTorsoColor, cg_enemyLegsColor for enemy player models
cg_teamHeadColor, cg_teamTorsoColor, cg_teamLegsColor for team player models.
Same goes to red/blue team player colors while spectating a match:
cg_redHeadColor, cg_redTorsoColor, cg_redLegsColor for red team and cg_blueHeadColor, cg_blueTorsoColor, cg_blueLegsColor for blue team.
How to fill cg_*Color cvars?[]
There are 3 ways to fill them. One is color name (yellow, etc.), second color token (^ plus digit/letter) and last is hexadecimal color. Read [insert "Colors" article link here] for detailed informations.
