DB 1.8 Dynamic Lighting Bug

DiStUrbeD · Post by **DiStUrbeD** » 08-09-2003 19:30

I didnt see this until i turned dynamic lighting on (for the shit of it).

The ones i remember seeing them on are DB-SmallEnclousure and DB-CTCR-Geeball

note: if you dont know whats wrong with that, the roof isn't supposed to look like that. The roof only did that as the ball went up next to it, so im very sure it's caused by dynamic lighting

i lost the screen i had of DB-SmallEnclosure, but it's located in the middle square (where the ball is), the square turns dark black if the ball is on top of it.

I know these aren't official maps, so dont say "i dont care because they aren't official" cuz i dont know if it's a DB problem, or a map problem.

This also happens on DB-Chill. I'm not entirely sure whether this is a video card glitch, or a bug in the UT2003 engine. I've only encountered this when I've used a gf2 video card, every other card I've used, I never got this graphical glitch.

huh, why would this be related to deathball?
its all about the engine

Too many texture passes for the videocard's liking me thinks.

Correction, it only has happened to you on Deathball maps. What video card do you have?

I havent noticed it in any other mods/games. Only deathball on DB-SmallEnclousure and on Geeball

I'm with f1end and the_one on this, possibly it is your graphics card not being able to process all the information. As these are custom maps the creators may have used a different technique.

If you get this bug, the only thing that can really be done is to turn off dynamic lights.

It's not really a bug though.

I used to get it on every map in DB and BR with my Voodoo3 3000.
