Why did you make admins affected by flood protection?

Just going to post this here since the original shader topic is locked. Seems about right.

From what I understand the resolution of shadows for each setting is as follows:

Low	10242=2048*
Medium	20483=6144*
High	20484=8192*
Very High	20485=10240*
Max	20486=12288*

But I have a feeling this is wrong. I'm kind of confused about the resolution for shadows being 1024 or 2048, but being rendered twice, or three times, or so on...
What exactly does that mean? What's the specific resolution of shadows for each setting?

All chat mods are basically garbage. I recommend removing them.

Why are decals and faces shaded incorrectly?

Could there be 2 different settings that adjust both values which determine the shader quality?

2048 still seems to be a bit low for me. Or would 4096 be way out of reach for Blockland?

Also kompressor: Shadow Aliasing. Use it.

I think you mean ANTI-Aliasing, Randomness.

Yeah, I'm definitely wrong about the resolutions. It seems there are only 1024 and 2048. I don't understand what rendering the frame multiple times does though exactly. Wouldn't it be easier to just select the shadow resolution?

Not trying to be rude here by just posting links, but it's a complicated subject.

Oh no that's fine. Thank you very much!

That's what i'd like. :c

Buy a Mac Mini, it's portable and it has a 6630M that's able to run shaders on low to minimum

One thing: Install Windows 7 on it.

Chrono · September 16, 2012, 09:23:27 PM

Or... you know... if you're buying something for gaming...

Don't get a Mac?

Why the forget would you buy a mac, their overpriced and you could basically buy a computer/laptop that has the same specs for a lower price and possibly even works better and is more compatible with devices.

Ever heard of being forced into it because your father is a Mac supremacist?
I'm sorry, but I use a Mac, and I'm stuck with the same problems until probably christmas.
