DogBreath Report post Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) I noticed that shadows only seem to be working correctly (at least on my pc) if I have shadow mapping enabled as well. Here's what I did: Turned reflections on (worked fine), turn shadows on (all the water in portland went wonky-lines...), then, turn on shadow mapping, everything looks great again. And the summer is hot. Agreed, but summer and hot aren't usually two different options that won't work right unless you select them both EDIT: fixed my bad spelling... 2nd Edit: isn't it a touch counterproductive to make people feel dumb for pointing out problems (not matter how obvious it might seem to you?) I'm just trying to test things as you've requested and telling you what I've found... If it wasn't odd, I certainly wouldn't have wasted your time with it...

Entropy Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Ok, maybe you didn't explain it properly, but the shadows without the shadowmap are always crappy and slightly buggy. Post a screenshot if it's more than the usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DogBreath Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Ok, maybe you didn't explain it properly, but the shadows without the shadowmap are always crappy and slightly buggy.Post a screenshot if it's more than the usual. Here's what I'm seeing: When I turn on shadows and no shadow mapping: And if I rotate the screen, the water flashes and kinda goes in and out of focus. If I turn on shadow mapping, everything seems great, reflections and shadows (and the water...) Until I figured out the correct combination of settings, I didn't know I could even correct this... Sorry if this wasn't really worth reporting I thought it was a bug... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Oh, ok, this is different. As a rule, if you don't have shadow mapping and Frame Buffer, don't bother with the shadows or reflections, it will look bad, and we'll soon remove the code that supports those obsolete methods.

I guess the reason I found these was the thing I reported about it not saving my shadows/reflections settings (and me not clicking them in the right order...) Ty for looking into it.

Jen_Marie38 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Like I said so many times before, if you have the "can't select shit" problem, change the color mode form 16bpp to 32bpp. how did i missed that? ...its working, so far... thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
