Hey all, i was wondering, is there a pak file that make your aq2 look like its in software mode, but then in the OpenGL mode? because i like the software skings / textures, but i really dont like the overflowing with software...
If yes, can someone give me an URL or a way to make them (cus im not really the type of wizzkid)?

Thanx in advance

P.S. This is not very maps related, but i didnt know where to put tis elsewhere.

made you look

sorry cant help... you could take all the files out and run them through photoshop. reduce resolutions. that will make it look nice and shit

It's not software mode, but an OpenGL mode with gl_colorlightmaps set to "0".

hmm, does that work with AprQ2 aswell? because i did in config: set gl_colorlightmaps 0 , but it doesnt work... it still looks "nice". i use these settings: Defualt OpenGL 800x600, 8bit textures, brightness full and the texture quality all to the left... then i try my game, no shitty looking aq2! :-(

gl_coloredlightmaps? i dunno. anyway, gl_picmip 2 and hmm.. smaller resolution :D

hey, thanks all ;-) im pretty new to the AQ2 scene so i have alot to learn when it comes to AQ2!

I think I talk for all now but the way you ask and post are nice. I would be glad to help if I were faster than imeiz or the rest, hehe.
Hope you the best bluish ice.

Okay, i tried the gl_picmip 2, no effect :-( maybe i have a too old aq2 version: AprQ2 1.161. And i think im using kinda weird settings:
Default OpenGL
800x600 resolution
8bit textures
the texture quality all to the left
fullscreen
And some other stuff wich a forgot... All to improve FPS on my flatscreen... The highest i got is 60 but thats kinda offtopic. [/offtopic]

Do i need a newer AprQ2? Or do i need to install NoCheat wich gives an error calling Couldnt fall back to software refesh... Please help me, because i want to play with the software txtures without crashing my AQ2 all the time!

And thanx Caracol :-)

You want FPS? Then try this:

Ingame write in your console, timerefresh - see what fps it gives

Now try gl_swapinterval 0 then timerefresh again...

...for me that's a 400+ fps at least, hope it works for you too.

im using apr 1.161 aswell, i cant jump with 1.17.. so that shouldnt be it. Remember that you have to do a vid_restart after typing gl_picmip 2 in the console, else try 3.. 4.. 5.

okay, thanx minchiano and juan! i hope that will work! im not on my own computer right now so i cant test it :-( i will when im on my own computer

[offtopic]whats so different from 1.17 and 1.161 then? and why is it harder to jump with it =-\[/offtopic]

d0h Juan. If you have frefreshrate 85khz and cl_maxfps 150 ingame thats the problem, well, it was for me tbh. Try to set cl_maxpackets same as refreshrate( I think its vid_displayfrequency in APR 1.17) and maxfps as much as you want. BTW! PICMIP IS A CHEAT! nubs

Uuuu... everyone who uses picmip 10000 raise their hands...

I settle with 20... so only the heil-hand up then! \o_

I have picmip uhh, lower then 20 or 10000 so: /o\
