This is map's fault then.

This is map's fault then.

That makes sense then... thought it was an engine thingie. Someone should probably take a look at these maps and add some hints and rebuild them then. Also the issue of reflection surfaces having very low performance with lightning is separate from that... still advising a cvar to not render lightning on reflection surface for FPS reasons should be added.

Err... setting a lower quality doesn't render reflections and there is a checkbox for them

And what do you expect? That dynamic lightning should not influence reflections?

Yes, that's what I meant. A non-default cvar of course, so if someone gets low FPS from that they can manually turn on or off a cvar so no type of world or dynamic lightning renderes over surfaces which have dynamic reflections on them. Not sure if that's a good or bad idea... if bad don't mind me then but maybe it could be helpful.

So turn off dynamic lightning if your computer can't cope.

Did you check out this menu?


This screenshot is misleading, I have the cursor over ultimate. These settings are not however, ultimate.

Did you check out this menu?

Of course I have, I know that menu well. However, from it you can only turn Lightning on or off and Reflections on or off. What I meant was a cvar that disabled one over the other only, but yeah if my idea was bad then never mind.

[Alien]

The thing is that making one dependent on other is illogical, cause they are not. You can have one, both or none enabled.

We don't have diffrent gibs for robots (and blood (oil?)) yet either . Someone took a stab at it but it wasn't accepted.

1. I don't remember that.
2. Gibs have to be done with csqc. Extending the current gib code would be a VERY bad idea. Nonetheless, if good gibs for other model types WERE made, they could be included as model files even while they are not yet used (to support them for the models later).
