This console variable affects the texture quality of the overall game.
If you 'SET basemip "0"' it will provide better quality set of texture 'mipmaps'. Otherwise if you have a really bad computer, put 'SET basemip "1". Changing this value may not always affect actual frame rate (FPS) as you would expect.
Usage[]
