Performance impact with moderate settings, 7600GT, on demo with me and 1 bot: 146fps average -> 71fps. With me and 15 bots: 120fps -> 37fps. This shot has less fps, as it was made with "ultimate" settings (just realtime world disabled).

Would be nice, yes. I've seen the recent changes in DP and do like it. I'm guessing it's quite dependent on effects that are set. Is there a fallback? No reflections? Is that too big a difference?

Edit: I'd set some refraction and reflection shimmering in there. You could actually reduce the detail on reflections too by rendering alternate frames or lowering res. I forget if DP can do that or not.

If reflections are off, the map will look just like in 2.3.

Edit: it can't alternate frames, nor would it look good (but you can lower the resolution). And I don't think refraction would fit on starship... I rather see these glass faces as perfectly straight, considering everything else in the map is strictly geometrical aligned.

Yes, I think starship look better with reflexion, especially with others players models like on this screeshoot :



About performance, the de-recompiled starship in svn (without reflexion) is much faster (my fps increased by 50 % with an old ati card), so there is space to add reflexion.

I'm for it. Shouldn't be much of an issue if it can be toggled. Stylistically it fits in without seeming gaudy.

I would also say yes, but only if it isn't much of an effort (apparently not, as it seems to be implemented already anyway). The reason why I say this is because starship is a bad performing map anyway (FPS wise) and I don't see it being played too often - not only for the FPS reason

Badly performing? Starship performs quite well for me with reflections disabled - especially after the recompile (with reflections off, it gained about 40% fps).

I like it but it looks unnatural atm beacuse i can see the stars. maby it looks bether without the sky under the ship or with lesser reflection.

I voted yes , but lesser reflection

So you'd prefer the glass to be a full mirror, and not transparent?

no , but lesser mirror like , just a little but reflection

r_wateralpa 0 , I only saw dm_ruiner with the mirror reflecting

but i like when its r_wateralpha 0 , on 1 it looks like moving sky

cool , I see the mirror in the ship , ah its a shader i tryed the last number
dp_reflect 0 1 0.4 1 1 full reflect and lower then 0.5 its become uglyer
there are 4 numers only tryed last dunno what others are

on my pc its looks mutch bether your having your brigntess to high. then everything looks ugly

is this ame7light.tga the ugly reflection with r_water 0 ?

isnt bether to replace it for real glass ?

i replaced mine with these just a plain grey texture

http://rapidshare.com/files/81159854/ame7light.jpg


both are with r_water 0
http://img31.picoodle.com/img/img31/4/1 ... e3afb4.jpg orignal
http://img28.picoodle.com/img/img28/4/1 ... 782d2b.jpg plain grey


mabye with plain grey it looks beter to do lesser then 0.5 reflection

with grey texture and 0.2 reflect looks great

@ Urbanshenkie, where the hell are you hosting your screenshots?! XD
can't you just choose one? (imageshack.us, xs.to, photobucket.com)

i say "reflections, yes please", but only if it doesn't affect the "semi-laggers", those who have a higher ping and older comps. but as i understand it, low.cfg will have reflections disabled, aight?

is there something wrong then with the links or the host ?

the one from imageshack looks bether he. neh its the same only the imageshack is bigger

0.2 reflection with grey texture gives a realy soft reflection and also looks great with r_water 0

COOL AHAHAH)))

Help

almost, I like the oil reflection

I like this room the best.

I want to see a full mirror in that nexball map with the wall where onlythe ball can go trew , it has a nice ceiling

Yeah

but exactly that may change, as it costs extra fps. Not sure.

Cost of FPS ? Then disable reflections... Besides ... GPU's should get powerfull enough in the future ... Then again, i can't enable many effect on my pc ... I'm still waiting on my gpu
