Was playing recently and noticed that the effects for the chem trooper red glass was not rendering ... it did work in 1.037, i was wondering if we can get that effect back... also noticed it did the same for textures set as 'additive'

here is a screenshot of the error, pre 4.0 it rendered the shadow on the ground as a red colored shadow...now it's not there.

Please get me a picture of what it used to look like (i.e. how you think it should look) so we can investigate further.

unrelated to the previous post but, an error with the first person weapon display position. The resolution seems to bug up the model with TT 4.0, I have provided screens from both current TT 4.0 and 1.037 to see what the specific error is.. not a big issue but would like to see it fixed if possible, the same thing can be said about the camera being able to pass through walls which might be related to the same resolution bug

Weapon bug


Camera bug

I think those clipping issues are more to do with your very wide resolution, they look as if they are rigged with the expectation that the side of the monitor would conceal the clipping.

Perhaps, but the problem did not exist previously. Perhaps the close clipping plane was changed?

I have the same graphical issue @ 1920x1080 (16:9) EDIT: The clipping issue, that is

The reason it did not happen in 1.037 is because Renegade would just stretch the image over the given resolution.
For instance, with 1920*1080 you'd basically have a 4:3 image stretched to 16:9 to fit the resolution.
TT actually renders in the resolution you supply instead of stretching it to fit the screen. Hence whatever used to be outside the screen could've become visible.
Now, with 16:9 this does not happen but those wide resolutions apparently do cause problems.

Actually, I noticed the Chemsprayer helmet isn't missing/not rendering but that it does actually render.
It only renders invisible. This also means that if it renders ontop of his own shadow, it'll make those parts of the shadow invisible.

Looks like the shadow checkbox isn't working quite right, hope we aren't going to lose colored shadow effects Surprised

As for the wide screen stuff thats not an issue, "widescreen" in 1.37 just stretched the screen. 4.0 is actual widescreen.
