This is how you go about removing all the fog and waterfall effects from concquest:

1) Rename cq_xsmoke1.spr to cq_xsmoke1.sp!

2) Rename cq_blank.spr to cq_xsmoke1.spr

All the fog/splashes will be gone. You must restart halflife for this to work, so do it BEFORE you reach the last jump :)

If you want to change it back again, just do:

1) Rename cq_xsmoke1.spr to cq_blank.spr

2) Rename cq_xsmoke1.sp! to cq_xsmoke1.spr

I suggest all software users do this and people on low end GFX cards, or ones that can't handle transparencies very well.
