Title: Player shadows
Post by: Fred187 on October 03, 2006, 02:09:12 PM: Will there be any chance of getting projected/stenciled player shadows in future builds? Maybe even self-shading models?

You're probably using the old md2 models.

Post by: blaa on June 20, 2007, 04:16:46 AM: And harder to see. Lets take shazam22 for example. That slope what goes from base to high, there is a barricade/a wall with a small window in it so you can shoot. You can see old models crouching there (behind the wall), but you cant see new models.

I tried to play with new models after I reinstalled the game, but new models were much harder to see (especially when they were crouching).

1 more thing, out of topic though, when I reinstalled the game i didnt get new high res textures, which I think is a big mistake, hr4 should come with the download file. Plus, the maps what game with the game, well you should reconsider the maplist there. And I had to delete most of the sound folder too (dunno, maybe someone even likes those sounds).
