Modellighting & Vista face issue (possible hotfix, please test)

**LtCmdr_Tsusai** · 09/22/2008 22:26:38

Was toying with this, and the command doesn't seem to affect the face. The rest of the body is fine, but the face still has dynamic lighting. I moved around to some darker spots, and it looks like the camera light (you know, you light up like 3m in a radius around you) is what's making the face change. *It doesn't seem like anyone is posting in the support anymore with them all folded and tucked away*

Edit:
modellighting_enable = 0
modellighting_ambadd_r = 0.33
modellighting_ambadd_g = 0.33
modellighting_ambadd_b = 0.33
PlayerFX_LightPool_Bright_Scale = 0

If that was the case then it wouldn't show up during the day, or indoors, and

PlayerFX_LightPool_Bright_Scale = 0

would fix it. I kind of thought it was something else, though.

THAT DID IT!!!
I DON'T HAVE THE FACIAL SHADING BUG

Used the old XP fix (modellighting) and added the above!
*goes to find another person w/ Vista to confirm*

Edit: more testing
PlayerFX_LightPool_Bright_Scale = 0 removes alot by itself, and the face effects are alot more subtle. Only thing remaining it looks like is maybe...the sun? I dunno, I'll play with that more later on!

WHOO

Hmm... Well, if that really does do it, it would be pretty sweet as a workaround, anyway. I'd like to hear from more people who try this.

I tend to run with that in my useropts anyway, just to avoid the "night light" effect it gives to screenshots.

I was fiddling with the useropts file and turning off the anti-aliasing bs seems to have reduced the texture glitches i've encountered via vista.

Moreover the dynamic effects lighting code listed above removes the rediculous affects vista users were enduring, no longer does it look like i'm an evil villain with cascaded darkness across 3/4's of my face. Thank you Tsusai.

Ooooh, I need to test this on my Vista machine when I get home.

Heh! Good one Tsu SMILEY

Those late night chats pays off, lol. Now you still need to crack the one so we can have a FPS when we run around normally SMILEY

Move the camera in front of you instead of behind, we're talking 1 meter tops! And on static camera with mood regal on the female model it's all good for standing around in FP. Just want to freefire in pvp too SMILEY

Can't wait for Headless mask, it makes it possible.

Actually the other issue im encountering is that i can't take screenshots in windowed mode, whenever i do they either come out all black, or 4/5's of the bloody image are black and it leaves me with a square border, i don't know why this happens save for the fact that im usually playing another game with mxo.

This is an example of one of the texture glitches i'll get, some stuff in the background will get messed sometimes, othertimes it's just people - but it really gets wonky.

**Grace of Darkness**

Yea that's the same thing I see at certain angles

**LtCmdr_Tsusai**

turning off all shadows got rid of that for me, when i saw that all around Mara C

**Darminian**

Suppose that's another solution i'll have to investigate.

must test later

Has anyone ever found a way around the weird effects you get when you combine certain clothing types (short shirts with a coat overtop for the ladies, for example)? Other than just not wearing those outfits?

For my Vista glitches, with repeating textures on hair/bodies/faces I seem to have it fixed with "Run as XP SP2" lately. Though the shadows, and awkward Buildings are following me glitches They seem to continue.

If you can't tell, that is a Giant Grass Particle... Apparently my glitches have the Grass size becoming Building size... to fix it I jsut get rid of grass detail... though thats not fun...
If I find my Youtube account password then Ill upload the video of the Building that was chasing me in Tabor.
