Topic: Overall graphics quality

I read people complaining about the graphics. I am using the native resolution of my flat panel (1680:1050 4X Antialiasing) and have to say the graphics are awesome and detailed. Someone said the Mos Espa Map looks blurry and whatever, i cant say that and even if, it's a desert city it ought to be blurry... lol (sun glare , sand and wind). On a high resolution even the surface of the star-destroyer looks amazing and detailed. Some naked hand textures on some weapons don't look too good (fingernails barely visible) but that's nothing. I am very pleased guys, pls don't change too much I love it as is. There might be some color issues on other maps (rebel uniform) for example but again that should be last on the to-do-list. Good work guys. Heads up.

Re: Overall graphics quality

Those are the peeps using the default BF2142 resolutions, and not custom reses that most of us have set up for our "bigger" monitors/flat panels.
I think its incredibly detailed....Good Job, Top notch work.

Do..or do not, there is no try !

Re: Overall graphics quality

I think the graphics are fine, there are some areas that could use work but thats true with all mods.  I was VERY impressed with the stormtrooper skins.  They look amazing, very sharp, great attention to detail, and just like the films.  Alot better than Battlefront's ST skins.

Re: Overall graphics quality

so you're saying that if I up my graphix even further that I wont have any slow-down due to the nature of the mod??? I have 0x AA on right now with 800x600 85hz. Can I up it any further? (1gig ram with 7600gs GeForce)

Re: Overall graphics quality

How can I get it to fit the custom resolution of my screen (1680x1050) without punkbuster interfering because I've heard that when you use a widescreen resolution it stretches your field of view punkbuster kicks you out.

Re: Overall graphics quality

1280 by 1024 should work for you maybe at 75 hz only and 2x Antialiasing should be possible depending on your processor power. With shaders set to max it is best looking but you get dark places in the game which is only natural but it gives you the false sense of being safe in those places. Players with shaders on low have bright places where you have dark places. Besides shadows and high shader settings are hardware eaters so be careful with them. A high resolution combined with low shaders and shadows off should work for you if your processor is an older model.

Re: Overall graphics quality

Punkbuster doesn't have anything to do with screen resolution as far as I know. Just add (+szx Your choice + szy Your choice)

Mine:  "D:\program\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\BF2142.exe" +modPath mods/FirstStrike +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

be careful don't copy and paste my example. Your hardrive and folder name might be different wink
