svösh Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Is it just me or has some one else noticed a wierd flickering in the single player simple shadow ? is this a known bug and if so is there a fix? if it's a shader thing i don't know how to build shaders but if its a simple .tga file or .jpg file where can i find it (ex.. in the directory structure of jk2) Please any one help Thanks !!!!

razorace Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 It's probably due to the shadow clipping thru the ground it is sitting on. It happens in a lot of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svösh Posted March 18, 2003 Author Share Posted March 18, 2003 thanks for the reply razorace so you have not incountered this problem. i figured out a better setting for my shadows with some help. cg_shadows 3 (gives a nice drop shadow) and does not slow me down at all it's like no shadows or simple shadows. Thanks Again svösh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Dravis Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 freespace 2 was great. a tie fighter equal certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorace Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 It's a engine issue. You can't fit it. Either turn it off or not worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Erm, cg_shadows 3 is definatly slower than cg_shadows 1 (simple/blob), not sure what you're talking about. Volumetric, cg_shadows 2, isn't supposed to be used, it's not in most other Q3 engine games, because it was never completed or meant to be completed, but Raven put it in the menu anyways.

Well I don't know why it's not on my computer unless my 512 mb of ram bus, on my 1.5 ghz intel chip and 64 mb radeon 7200 video card. Has some thing to do with it. cg_shadows 3 run just as smooth as no shadows for me. They are to dark to look real and clip near walls but "you can't always get what you want" Thanks everyone.

Neø Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 From what I was getting from that svosh your trying to say your comp is amazingly good? 512 MB Ram AMD Athlon 2Ghz GeForce 4 Ti4600 Ya? Also, I don't seem to have any problems with shadows or stuff and all of my setting are put up to the MAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svösh Posted March 24, 2003 Author Share Posted March 24, 2003 I didn't mean to brag, my system is all right but it's almost 2 years old so it's nothing special. But it can handle my 2D, 3D Graphics programs very well that’s what I got it for. And games with max textures, colors, highest polys. It gets the job done. I was just trying to tell Emon that might be the reason for no slow down when playing with cg_shadows 3. that’s all. Before i got this computer i had a p166 mmx w/ 32 mb ram running old Photoshop 5 and 3ds max 3 at the same time was painful. Any ways I got the 1.03 patch for jk2 then installed the 1.04 and now I have no more glitch in the simple shadows. thanks again everyone. svösh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
