Title: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: JiGSaW on August 17, 2007, 07:05:16 PM
Alright, I was playing Blitz today, and I can't tell the different between the clear walls themselves and the windows in them, they're both really clear, is there any way I can make the bunkers themselves less clear than the windows?


Like, this is hellhounds game.

And on mine, the bunkers are way clearer.   Is their a way to make them more like his?

It sounds like you just need to adjust your brightness/gamma/monitor settings.

I have my gamma up the whole way. Do you think if I turned that down, you think it'd change?

I'm not accusing anyone of anything here but there was a "texture pak" that made the translucent walls really clear like that.....

I only have 4thX's high res pack.

Chef-Killer has the same problem - some maps are virtually unplayable with this setting

FourthX's high-res pack doesn't change the glass texture. Try turning it off, and see if that helps. You might have the highres pack and a little something extra. :P

Eiii, i'll try turning it off and see what that does.


EDIT: Oops, I had apply to screenshots checked, that's why it's so bright.


EDIT EDIT:  Eiii, I disabled the high res, and it still looks exactly the same.


EDIT EDIT EDIT:  The grass is different in the 2 screenshots because I replaced the grass with the CTP grass.

Nothing out of the ordinary, but there's no way to tell if one of those files has a bit tacked onto it. I can't help any more. :P

You can't even tell that there are walls.  :[

Back up your configs and maps, then un-install and re-instsall BSP. If that doesn't take care of the problem, then it's actually a problem.

BSP or DP?
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: Eiii on August 18, 2007, 12:45:38 AM
Uh... DP. Don't know where BSP came from.
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: JiGSaW on August 18, 2007, 12:50:18 AM
Well, I did that, and it didn't change it.

Buy a real computer.
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: JiGSaW on August 18, 2007, 04:24:29 PM
It's obviously not my computer, it's something messed up with my scripts in DP.
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: Eiii on August 18, 2007, 06:40:13 PM
It obviously is your computer, as reinstalling everything didn't help any.
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: KnacK on August 18, 2007, 06:41:22 PM
When you reinstalled, did you DELETE your pb2 folder?
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: JiGSaW on August 18, 2007, 11:01:44 PM
I deleted everything except for my maps. 

I went to add/remove programs and uninstalled it, then I went to my paintball2 folder and just deleted it.

But, when I reinstalled the game, I still had commands like, cl_cmdrate at 100 and whatnot even though I didn't save any configs, I don't understand it.
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: KnacK on August 19, 2007, 09:41:24 AM
THen you didn't delete everything.

Do this:

Rename your paintball folder to something else, then reinstall and see what happens.

Post by: JiGSaW on August 19, 2007, 02:10:06 PM
Well, I just talked to DaRkNeSS on mirc, and he told me to put gl_overbright 0 in the console then do a vid_restart.  I can see the bunkers now, but my game is hella dark.


KnacK, i'll try that.

Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: jitspoe on August 23, 2007, 03:04:58 PM
The solution is obvious: Don't play biltz.  Why is that map even up on servers, anyway?  I mean, look at it.  It's a big box with transparent bunkers.  The textures aren't aligned.  There are floating cubes with flag textures on them.  There's a big wall made out of barrel.  The flag capture is worth 30 points.  It's a mess.

That said, your video card must not support multitexturing or something.

The flag capture is worth 30 points.

Not if you have the right .ent file.

Yeah I haven't played it that way for a lonnnnng time

Post by: Herron on September 27, 2007, 10:23:21 AM
hades has this same problem with the bunkers being almost completely transparent

was there ever a solution discovered?
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: James on September 27, 2007, 01:57:31 PM
The solution is to delete that map from existence.
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: DaRkNeSS on September 27, 2007, 07:01:14 PM
Why would you do that?  It's obviously one of the best maps ever to grace a DP server with its presence.
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: jitspoe on October 01, 2007, 09:07:52 PM
What video card do you have?  Hades has an ATi card, and they are notorious for crappy drivers, which is probably what the problem is.
Title: Re: Clear Bunkers / Window Help.
Post by: JiGSaW on October 01, 2007, 09:28:44 PM
Yeah it's an ATI Radeon 9250.

I only have the integrated video card on my com and it blows big time.
I've been trying to get a new vid card for somewhile now,... its not that I'm poor, its that my parents wont share their money with me.
Good thing I didn't bye that ATI a few weeks ago. ;D
