Title: HT&L spec lighting
Post by: Drew on December 11, 2003, 05:21:47 pm

Is HT&L supposed to render spec. lighting?
I looked at that high poly Galaxy class and saw it was all nice and shiny; i was like hey... mine dosnt do that...
its really annoying to play HT&L with vanilla FS2 graphics...
If HT&L is supposed to render shines, my radeon 9k aint....

help me out here plz
:blah:

EDIT: guess i better include sys specs

P4 2ghz
256MG ddr
Radeon 9k pro(?) 64
catalyst 3.8
i use DX8..

Yep, HT&L should do specular lighting fine.

Radeon 9k is the problem... from what I see, no cards lower than a 9600 support it. It works for Bob, because he's got a 9800... :doubt:

Well, I'm running a GeForce MX440, and they work, I thought they had stopped and realised I'd put in GE's shinemaps when I tried it with one of my own models ;) The effect does seem slightly weaker in HT&L but not much.
