r_dynamiclight


(ouroboro) #1

this is aimed at the devs, unless someone else knows the real answer. in ettest, there were 2 options for dynamic lights, just like in etmain. but they were named differently in the options menu. in ettest, r_dynamiclight 1 was called “enabled”, and r_dynamiclight 2 was called “alternate (faster)”. whereas in etmain, they are “singlepass” and “multipass”, respectively.

my question is, were the two values switched prior to the official release, or are they the same, just different menu names? i’ve always used dynamic lights because i find it usefull for spotting otherwise hidden enemies, but i’ve been using a value of 1, assuming that singlepass was lower quality that multipass. but if the values are the same as in ettest, that would mean a value of 2 (currently called multipass) was in fact the lower quality version (and the one i want).

thx for trying to decypher my incoherent babbling :slight_smile:
