Bump. --- Quote from: SirLancelot7 on March 18, 2013, 02:51:48 AM ---Could you bake all the shadows included in the DNC? And obviously baking would only work on servers that don't have frequent changes/additions to the build. But it would allow for someone to host say.. A stealth DM in which shadows were required. --- End quote --- the only problem with baking is that it doesn't change lighting period. So players will still be lit up with everything else |

Meh.. I disagree. I don't think BL looks bad without shaders. I mean we were fine without them for 19 versions, why suddenly now that we have shaders do we think it's ugly? And besides, there are a lot of people who can't use shaders, yes, but there isn't any evidence that it's most users. And how can you expect a game with graphics like this to run on some intel card or something? It isn't perfect, but on max shaders it looks pretty great imo |

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? --- End quote --- tbh probably not. But I've heard people bashing intel so much since the update that I'm inclined to believe they're bad. But it really doesn't matter. I haven't looked into it much and as you said, I probably don't know what I'm talking about. It's just my opinion |
