UT Demo & G200: no dynamic lighting

[jkantola]

I have a problem with dynamic lighting in Unreal Tournament Demo v3.48 using K6-2/300 128MB with G200 8MB SDRAM & Win98. Simply put, I get no dynamic lighting at all. All surfaces are lit with a constant value, no shadows, rockets provide no additional lighting. Generally very bland. I think being hit with the plasma rifle get things green, but I think it's caused by blending the alpha channel of the plasma shots ...
This is with D3D in 16 & 32 bit. In software rendering mode I get the lighting right, but if I then enable the detail textures I get a faulty mip-mapping/clipping/whatever at about "two metres": it's as if I'm surrounded by a detail-textured cube.

I had the same problems with the original
UT Demo release. Haven't heard anyone
else complaining...

It seems that the infamous GLQuake bug is beginning to appear in other (new) games too. Well maybe that will speed up the fixing of the bug.

Hey.... had the same problem with my G200

turning off the Multitextures fixed that for me....

edit the unrealtournament.ini file... and change the "UseMultitexture" from True to False...

Thanks, disabling multitexture worked! Were they used anywhere, anyway? At least I can't see a difference... multitexture here means overlaid, (partially) transparent textures, right?

UT seems to run faster with Multitextures enables, but looks alot worse :P

probably cause the g200 doesn't support multitextures, at least not for UT and Opengl games...
