quake 2 screen effect

[hl_backdoor]

Hello, I want to know something.. if you ever played quake 1 or 2, you can remember some functions that resize the screen. I think you had to press + or - to size up or down the screen. well in CS 1.6 I cannot do that at the moment, I did a search in google and found that some commands are disabled for the game now. I tried the commands sizeup and sizedown but they have no effect. anybody knows a way to get this functionality, programatically or by a working cvar or command? thank you

I remember Doom I and II had that effect.
But I think counter-strike disabled that so you would have to choose which resolution to pick rather than using sizeup or sizedown.

I did a quick search and found that the screen resizement is handled by some internal variables (cvars) ... I was looking into the quake2 source code since it is the basesrc for hl1 src code. I am 100% sure that this can be done in CS1.6 apart of those disabled commands (sizeup and down). so I still ask if anyone knows how this can be done.
