there are 3 levels of them i think that can be set, static, a middle one, and full dynamic.

RE: Quake 4.

Yeah it's pretty cool game, I can't really say why, but it's addictive. But just when I think to myself, "right I'll save it and come off now" I always find myself going through one more door and blasting some more Strogg away. Lol.

Anyways,

Just had a scout round and found it on the "Best Of" series and it was just 7.99, should be here wednesday Can you do custom res on it, I had a few problems with the Doom3 demo to get it to run the res of my 26inch Samsung TV. (1360x768)

Bargain at 7.99. Well worth it.

You can do custom res, there is a .cfg file under Quake4\q4base directory. So I'd assume you can just alter the 1280x1024 or what have you listed for whatever you wanted.

Firegod. what mods are you using with quake 4. im tempted to reinstall (for about the 5th time) never got past about the 5 checkpoint! oh, does it use duel core by default?

I think with the latest patch, there is an option under the Advanced part of the menu for Dual Core "Yes/No". Mine iirc is greyed out. So I think the possibility is there, yeah.

Like Sunlitsix has said, the GTX mod is cool. I've decided to use (this time round)...

- CorpsStay & Self-Shadow MOD
- Parallex Mapping MOD

Unforunately, I like two other mods, one being the "Brilliant Highlights MOD" and the other the "Relief Mapping MOD". However, if I want to use the "Parallex MOD" I can't use the other two shader MOD's listed before (Can use CorpsStay however).

But what the Parallex MOD does (similar to the GTX MOD)

(Parallex Mapping - Taken from the Readme)

Parallax Mapping Engine 2.0 is a mod that implements
parallax mapping technology into Quake 4. For those
who do not know, parallax mapping is an advanced
graphical technology used in next-generation titles
such as Unreal Tournament 2007 and Perfect Dark Zero.
It is also known as "virtual displacement mapping"
or "offset mapping."

This technology adapts to the player's angle of view
and offsets surfaces, thus simulating physical
displacements on the ground, wall, etc. This results
in a fuller 3D experience.

Here is where I got them all from:-

Cheers.

Its cos your graphics card doesn't have enough memory. Ultra setting is a huge hog.

does ultra look any better than high anyway. I tried it in doom 3 and it worked fine but i found 4xAA looked better and kept a higher fps aswell

silversurfer · 28 Mar 2007 at 01:05

I think its just a question of compression used on the textures, ultra is none at all I think

My favourite screenshot yet

Full size

Very nice.

TechnoCorruption · 28 Mar 2007 at 21:05

Quake 4 came today, I can set the res to 1280x768 which cuts off just about 80pixels on the right hand side, I have looked in the directory and have found the cfg.file, what program do you use to modify the file?

Notepad

TechnoCorruption · 28 Mar 2007 at 21:54

Thanks for the help, I opened it with notepad, found the custom height and custom width, changed them to 1360x768, then saved it and loaded up but its still 1280x768 :confused:

geeza · 28 Mar 2007 at 22:56

the new patch should fixes widescreen and other resolutions on mine

Macabre · 28 Mar 2007 at 23:38

Is TDU worth getting?

I like racing games 'n all but I get bored if its the same thing and a short story etc, like NFS Carbon didn't last long at all even though I quite liked it. I like super cars that Ferrari looks good yeh.

titaniumx3 · 29 Mar 2007 at 01:54

Some Stalker. They're not very varied since I've only started the game but I thought I'd get some in before my exams start, lol.
