Whats next?, removing the trail from the railgun? removing the flare from the BFG?

ff thats bs.
its possible to remove the trail of the rail and the shotgun with cg_railtrailtime 0, but some people just want the railtrails of the rg and not the of the sg(like its normal in baseq3).
since its already possible to disable this due to some cfg setting in the plus.cfg, this is a voting about it:
Plus.cfg shotgun rail trails - yes or no?
to the bfg flare.
the bfg flare is normal in baseq3 too, there is no settings about it.
so completly different thing, u cant compare this with removing trail of the railgun.

edit:@ topic.
yes +1

omg... guys that can be easy disabled in weapon cfg ''Style: 0''

, but i do like trails, try
use r_railwidth 1 ; r_railcorewidth 1 ; r_railsegmentlenght 1000 //i am playing like that from the begining

i like trails of sg

btw if u talk about yors client settings its so easy to do...

cg_railtrailtime affects BOTH rg's and sg's trails the same way. I want railgun to shoot a beam of sexy, and be able to see it, while at the same time want my shotgun to shoot a spread of highpowered pellets into my enemies crotches. Or something. Whatever, point is, sg + railtrail = gay.

YES! That's how I would've said it too, I want to control this cvar so I can have some railtrail (e.g., optional vstr toggle in cfg for cg_railtrailtime "0", "100", "300" depending on server/lag/packetloss I'm playing with) and have another cvar for the shotgun so I can eliminate it altogether. I've always preferred the baseq3 shotgun style, it'd be great to implement some option for this.
