New bump mapping

[Krusty]

Seems I didn't keep the composite pics, but have 2 others (one of the cropped ones).





EDIT these are downsized by the forums a bit. Full size follow the links:

Personally I don't think you're issue has anything to do with "bump mapping"...

Wrong... Please note, I'm talking about with DETAILED TEXTURE disabled, ONLY using bump mapping on the un-detailed terrain! It looks totally different!

Ok well since you insist...everything off except bump mapping:







I must have a defective video card.

I just want to say yay!It looks much better on my end ,With ground detail off and water off and bump mapping on..i can see the ground coming now and keep good frame rate's

My gamma has been default ever since I switched to an LCD monitor some years back. Across various updates, various video card changes, I have never had to tweak my gamma.

I shouldn't have to tweak it just for the game to be playable, hence the original post still stands: it needs to be toned down.

Don't tweak the monitor.  Tweak the in-game gamma.  What's the big deal with that?

Waahhhh... it's to hard too move a gamma slider.

Krusty, your screenshots are all taken at evening when the terrain is supposed to be darker.

i mentioned that the later one (tower shot) was at dusk, but the bump mapping was/is very dark at other times as well. Considering I can't turn the darned thing OFF (see bug reports forum, turns self on), there has to be a happy medium somewhere.
