Title: Any specific compiler switches required?
Post by: Amphetamine on February 16, 2007, 11:33:01 AM
Hi, I know some of the other engine mods have added features like light bloom, realtime shadows, etc and I noticed that some of your screenshots have flare/bloom on lights. Are there any compiler switches I need in order to enable them? I think I read on some other forums about using -keeplights and -advancedmapping on the bsp stage, but I can't find the posts now, are these required to achieve those effects in OA?

We only have the features that ioquake3 vanilla has, no bloom, no realtime shadows, just flares and a lot exploding bots. 

To enable flares in your map with q3map2 you have to use the bsp stage flag -flares. 

To enable flares in game you have to set the cvar r_flares "1"
