that explains why i turn and shoot the wrong direction sometimes. not that my skilz don't have something to do with that too

First off all that is a spark not a muzzle flash. Second of all I noticed that when shooting concrete, there are sparks, but when shooting metal, there are no sparks. WTF

It depends on what the mapper has set as a surface afaik.

No I'm not talking about the actual spark or "muzzle flash", I'm talking about the "muzzle flash effect where bullets hit" (because I don't have a better name for it) by which I mean the area around a person shooting a gun lights up (the map lights up), *and* the area around where a bullet hits lights up. Interestingly, if you turn off the sparks and particles (leaving just the smoke puffs) you will still get the flashes.

Turn off dynamic light to not get the flashes

lol. come on man! I know that! But I want flashes where the people shoot their gun, just like I had in every version prior to 4.0.  Anyways, never mind, I've already determined that there is no way to do this.

I posted the solution to this in our forum (coincidentally:P).

sfx_particles 0 should do it.

wouldn't that remove other effects? particle effects is a general category.

Yep, that's the things you see when hitting the walls. It's actually cg_sfxparticles. It's a level above cg_sfxSurfaceImpacts. Both settings are in the menu as well by the way.
