graphics quality

[seeyuen]

Im probably being ignorant or something

but I see in all the screenshots the players cast shadows on the floor and the graphics are much better than when i play

ive fiddled with the options but cant seem to get a shadow down

my comp is a 1.5 gig cpu and has a nvidia tnt2 32 megs graphics card

so whats the problem?

Perhaps your TNT2 can't handle it, it's not the latest card. But there are several things you can try. Make sure "Detailed Shaders" is enabled in the video options . Now start a single- or multiplayer game. Open the console ( shift + key left to 1 ) and enter r_stencilbits 8 ( it should already be set to 8 by default) then type cg_shadows x .

x = 0 -> no shadow

x = 1 -> circular shadow

x = 2 -> silhouette shadow

x = 3 -> silhouette shadow ( use it if 2 doesn't work)

 

EDIT: I forgot to mention that shadows will reduce your framerate.
