rvmats are materials that may reference other maps.

You'll get the least directionally dependent normal information by using only the blue channel. What's interesting is if you view the normal map's channels, the red channel should look like an image lit from the right and the green channel should look like an image lit from the top. The blue channel should look like an image lit from behind you.

Just so that you are aware in the future, users get notifications for PMs and moderators don't have inbox limits. So, there is no need for you to announce you have made a PM. Moderators will get to your PM in due course. Also, most users have a profile page where you can leave visitor messages. That seems like a more appropriate place to leave a reminder about a PM than in a thread body where it is irrelevant to the discussion and therefore spam. If you have any questions or comments about this I invite you to PM me again.

I guess it would behoove one not to bring up things one doesn't want to talk about in the future then :)

I was simply pointing out the inaccuracies in your information, Mr. User. You want the information you give out to be accurate, don't you? Or would you rather just sit there and throw out random inaccuracies? I mean, the facts seemed to be important to you when you brought them up. ---------- Post added at 23:20 ---------- Previous post was at 23:18 ---------- I think the BI art directors like the look of the stencil shadows better up close because they aren't so blocky and vague. That's just my guess based on how the shadow detail levels behave.

So now you're saying it's a simulator and also a game. Good then, mistake corrected ;)

The latest tools suite is for arma 2. You can locate them in that forum :)

Freelook is (was?) so borked in the alpha that I've given up on it. The difference is one thing is a bug and on thing is by design ;)

So you're not playing it when you're using it? You're, what, training? Make no mistake, it's entertainment software.

Yeah basically freelook with the iron sights allows you to move your head and weapon like a turret. Actually, if they're using the same system as they were using, I think all men are a class of vehicles which do actually have 'turrets'.

Nope. I believe ArmA 1 also had shadow map shadows as well. Which it used was also dependent on your shadow detail settings.

Hmm... actually, this sounds like maybe there is something of a disconnect between BI and Steam. If you think purchasing stuff at the bi store wrecked your steam account, maybe contact Placebo. I think it's certainly something they would want to know about.

It has both and which it uses most often can be affected by the shadow detail settings.

Unfortunately, if there is a solution, it lies with steam.

Here's a compromise I can think of off the top of my head: Iron sights combat pace. But I think if the devs want to put a weight and encumbrance system in (which I recall being a pretty popular thing), then your soldier getting tired when he's carrying too much is the (only) logical outcome.

microstutter is a problem with dual gpu setups sometimes.

And also bear in mind that the alpha is the only thing we have to evaluate, and ostensibly we have it to give feedback. I think this specific feedback would be more useful if it was broken up into critical items and put on the feedback tracker, firstly by searching out existing tickets and then, if none exist, by creating new ones. Critical items might be that TOP feels that the rifles are under powered, the gameplay is too slow, etc.

You could colour the forests darker but I don't think that would do much for the other objects in the forest.

I case in this case, if we're talking about fishing, the search function and google are your fishing poles. I think most modders enjoy spending their time modding and not writing documents.

Unfortunately, no.

There is an Arma voice actors group, and a thread somewhere.

I would put it in your own thread, definitely.

It would be odd if there is no ambient occlusion when the sun isn't shining since on overcast days there is only ambient light.

closed on request. A new version thread is available.

TOP was describing that his friend gets put down because of his age. I wasn't saying having age limits was the same thing. I would personally run a gaming group as a meritocrasy but that's kind of a lot of work. In my il2 squad we had a teenager and he wasn't the best pilot but he was pretty fun to fly with and super respectful on commos.
