Increasing Gamma Settings *MCSG*

[TheInforcerHD]

So why not allow gamma increase so me and all the other players who own a bright monitor don't have an unfair advantage?

Fullbright doesn't give you the same effect as turning up the monitor brightness.

Fullbright doesn't give you the same effect as turning up the monitor brightness.

But, from my experiences, they're really similar. Both allow you to see things in dark lighting conditions perfectly fine.

They aren't similar. At all. They are completely different types of brightness as I stated earlier.

Well my monitor and I'm guessing many others can't accomplish the effect of full bright. If we were to make a rule against increasing your monitor brightness, how would we catch them doing so?

Mods vs Members, this is intense.

How do you catch users with increase gamma/fullbright?

Yes, but the advantage is the same.

Yes, but the advantage is the same.

When they post a video or screenshot of them using it but turning up your monitor brightness can't be caught unless they openly admit to it.

Yes, but the advantage is the same.

The advantage is not the same. As I also stated earlier, increasing gamma/fullbright gives a very unnatural brightness to minecraft. A monitor does not.

As I've also stated before, monitor brightness allows me to see everything, even in dark conditions. This makes everything visible on Moonbase 9, etc. Fullbright/gamma also allows this, just in a different glow.

It's important that a clear definition is given on this kind of thing, so that we understand the reasons why something is allowed and something else isn't. Think of it as two kinds of advantages, basically. We have internal advantages (Mods, hacks) and external advantages (better computers, clearer screens, more accurate mice). It's obviously best that everyone is the most even from the get-go, but that isn't possible with external advantages. For obvious reasons, we cannot moderate external advantages. It's the opposite for internal advantages, as we can monitor these. Some internal advantages (Optifine) replicate an external advantage, thus making the playing field more even. The downside to that is the zoom advantage, which isn't seen as a big enough advantage to give up the benefits of allowing optifine.

The only way fullbright/gamma editing is going to be added, is if it is seen as replicating the external advantage of a brighter screen. At the moment, it isn't seen as a big enough external advantage to need an internal replication, so it is not allowed. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

really I don't see the issue with turning up brightness even if its not an ingame option.. as some people have darker monitors than others so would be at a disadvantage..
