Strange lighting on player models

color43 · 07-04-2008, 01:26 AM

I'm trying to play with DirectX 9 and the following things turned off:

Code:

mat_bumpmap 0
mat_specular 0

and the lighting on SOME player models looks like this:

I can play in DirectX 8.1 with bumpmap and specular off and it works fine. Has anyone found a trick to get rid of this?

I've had that issue ever since I installed. Makes it hard to differentiate classes at a distance due to some having similar body structure.

If someone could find a fix for this I'd love them for hours.

Turn bump mapping on.

mat_bumpmap 1 or mat_dxlevel 80 pick 1 or the other.

I hate bump mapping! I wonder if it will do this in the orange box version...

It does in all orange box games also, yes. The lighting is there specifically for the bumpmapping with direct x 9 so if you have bumpmapping off the lighting just blankets the model.
