im palying fleshstorm, and on the first mission and mosdt liklely all subsequent missions i turn the weather ON in the ESC menu and it comes on
however i play the game for about 1 minute and it stops showing the weather effects, even though the ESC menu setting is still on.
whats wrong with it?
Perhaps the 1.3 "don't let your framerate get killed" code is activating? I believe that High Shadow Detail, weather, local fog and reflections are the first few to die by default.
I thought that settind defaults to false for single player but can't be disabled for multiplayer.
That may be true, but for all I know he has it turned on.
Just throwing it out here, but maybe rain.onperiod (<-- I think that's what it is...) is forcing the rain to only be on for a minute? Does it ever turn back on? Maybe it has a long offperiod and a short onperiod.
is it doing anything else...erm, wierd?
like stretching the sky, screwing with cockpit textures, etc..?
That sounds like a weather cycle...
if rain.offperiod = 0 then rain never stops
well, it starts and stops, but hm maybe you guys are right. just anoying more than anything, spoils the mission
Really? I always believed that the weather cycles made games seem more real. They give "life" to the map.
well not liek this, it just suddenyl stops raining, the wind dissapears and the sky goes brighter
not very liflike or realistic, the weather would be amazing if it didnt keep doign that
that means that the maps rain.tranPeriod = 0
is embm bump mapping off in ur graphics options?
nope tis on
Turn it off
yea,...that sounds like what might be causing it.
That feature is erm....broken on some graphics cards (like....MINE :-()
what does it do exactly? doesnt that make the texutres more "3D"
im using a GeForce LE 7600 (LE? Lite Edition :S???) on a dual core processor. affinity is setr to both processors i believe as well but after taking like 5 seconds to "warm up" its smooth as...
damn annoying.
Its not how good your card is, its how lucky you are. The percentage of cards that can do BZ2's Bump Mapping without issues is gradually reducing as more cards come out.
I had the same problem with the sky turning bright and weather stopping when I played those first few missions. I'm almost sure it was being caused by the automatic graphics reducing code. Check to see if its turned on in gameprefs.
Bump maps seem to work on my GeForce 4 but, only in 1.3.
wel im playing 1.3.
right what am i looking for in gameprefs.ini?
Just a note for you, when pb4 comes out, don't edit gameprefs, edit localprefs to override gameprefs settings (it gets asset checked now). So, note your changes for things, although many shouldn't be needed in pb4.
