Ambient adjusts the shadows. Diffuse is between ambient and regular light (to make the shadow edges softer / not jagged). It looks OK now, though. I wouldn't make it darker. I have the feeling your monitor is pretty bright.

Just some things to change from My point of view:

- the "house" - thing (looks like one, maybe shouldnt because it looks so "normal")

- the grey part of the sky should be darker and the light part of the sky maybe more orange or red

overall: good work !

The lack of distinction by the windows doesn't have to do with the brightness or darkness of the shadows, I don't think, but rather the fact that EVERYTHING is in the shadow there, thus making it all the exact same brightness. I think it would be fine to add lights to the castle, too. The shadows don't need to be any darker.

I'm worried about all that water -- it's going to be a framerate killer. Water hurts framerates worse than high r_speeds because it's transparent and tessellated so that it can be wavy, which the r_speeds don't account for. Also, with reflective water, well, the problem is tenfold. Plus you run into the problem of having a square block of water with no boundaries. I think it would look cooler to make it look like it's on some super tall cliff that just disappears down into oblivion.

What framerate do you get when it's reflective?

You should turn on anisotropic filtering so your shots look prettier

gl_anisotropy 8

Random question -- are you still using the old .wal files with WC? You must be... you should grab the ones from the bsp b15 pack.

What does that do? I have yet to see any difference while using that.

Are those lights candles inside the bricks?

For one, the .wal files have been darkend to compensate for the brightening that goes on during compilation (because the original q2 wals were so dark). This prevents reflective light from being super bright and causing ugly splotches all over the map. For two, the default flags for the surfaces have been tweaked. Water no longer emits light by default. Light brightness have been adjusted to work better with the standalone version, etc.

Using gl_anisotropy, sorry.

jitspoe · « **Reply #57 on:** January 19, 2006, 12:11:15 PM »

Oh, it makes the textures sharper at angles. For example, in that screenshot, the floor is blurry. Near the door it just looks like splotches of color -- no texture visible. Anisotropic filtering fixes that.
