Title: bots too difficult Post by: fufinha on July 05, 2008, 02:15:36 AM I always have a problem trying to shoot my bot in lightmap mode.
http://q3eu.com/flash/wtf10/ (this was the darkest map out them all, any other would have blown up my monitor :D - shadows are set at 3) Title: Re: bots too difficult Post by: fromhell on July 05, 2008, 02:55:32 AM Is this even a real technical issue? Or is it subliminal pro-vertex propaganda?
Title: Re: bots too difficult Post by: fufinha on July 05, 2008, 03:51:26 AM I havent used vertex, maybe contact lenses would help
r_stencilbits 8 cg_shadows 2 (cant remember if its the right syntax) .. then up the gamma and it woks quite nice for people who like brightlight! erm.. technical issues... well, not really, but some people are getting confused between delag correction because they haven't figured out that other people get better... they remain the same if they have superior network. The correction issue is with the models. Compare against the default team model and the difference is very noticable. People will probably start assuming it's related to delag and maxpackets so hopefully that will end their attempts at changing config settings in vain :D That is assuming they dont have any other problem such as ridiculous graphics settings. Maybe they dont realise the difference between performance and optimum detail. Worth noting as quite often assumptions will just end up in pointless discussion.

Title: Re: bots too difficult Post by: fufinha on July 05, 2008, 05:00:17 AM Thats what I thought too.. but on windows the game will chew up all the cpu anyway. I'm sure I seen shadows that are more realistic rather than the normal dark area below the player.
aah. i just found this which seems to explain it.. http://groups.obliter8.com/node/695 I guess the shadows are still there but the stencil bits hide it, has a strange effect on some maps. I didnt have any issues with performance but my graphic settings are usually low. Title: Re: bots too difficult Post by: fromhell on July 05, 2008, 10:18:37 AM don't even use stencilbits 8, if it's used it'll make the shadows look crappy. if anything use 32
