 Visit the Color Control submenu of Options, it's near the top, fiddle with
 gamma (or grey level if using the color levels mode) until the grey box
 surrounding the white/black dither pattern matches up with the grey you see

 Note: Different resolutions may be different intensities depending on monitor.
 Note2: ATI Radeon Catalyst 3.10 drivers seem to have a weird gamma limiting
 'feature' which rejects gamma settings it doesn't like, feel free to complain

+Networking tips:
+Visit the Player Setup submenu of the Multiplayer menu to configure your
+network speed (as well as the usual settings from quake like name and colors).
+
+To host a server behind a router/firewall, simply set up a port forward on the
+UDP port you are running the server on (default is 26000), to forward incoming
+UDP packets on that port to the server, then people can connect.
+
+To make your server show up on the server browser (in the Join Game menu),
+either set sv_public 1 in the console, or use the multiplayer new game menu
+and check the Public server checkbox.

+Thanks to:
+Tomaz for adding the Geforce3 water shader, bugtesting and many suggestions.
+Andreas 'Black' Kirsch for much work on the QuakeC VM (menu.dat, someday clprogs.dat) and other contributions.
+Mathieu 'Elric' Olivier for much work on the sound engine (especially the Ogg vorbis support)
+Joseph Caporale for adding 5 mouse button support.
+KGB|romi for his contributions to the Quake community, including his rtlights project and many suggestions.
+Zombie for making great levels and general DarkPlaces publicity.
+FrikaC for FrikQCC and FrikBot and general community support.
+Transfusion Project for recreating Blood in the world of Quake.

 No 8bit texture uploads (fixes 'green' walls in the distance).
 Fixed view blends (glquake was quite broken).
 
+Sound features:
+Ogg and wav file overrides for cd tracks (example: sound/cdtracks/track01.ogg or .wav)
+Streaming ogg sounds to save memory (Ogg sounds over a certain size are streamed automatically)
+Ogg Vorbis sound support (all .wav sounds look for .ogg if the .wav is missing, useful for making mods smaller, particularly for ambientsound() music)
+Stereo wav support (useful for music as ambientsound() calls)
