Rend2: _flareshader doesn't work
_flareshader
Try setting r_flares 1. The flare code looks a little different in rend2 so it might not act exactly the same.
r_flares was already on, so I guess it just doesn't work.
Flares in rend2 function like q3, not like JA.
I don't think _flareshader is used by JKA at all? I can't find any reference to it in the source code.
JKA uses the local objects shader compared to Q3 I think?
Tbh I think just close/delete this. It's not a big enough issue and I'm probably just doing it wrong. :P
