Hi Smirftsch

[Argh]

first a big thanks for the openglpatch !!!

without your work i would not play unreal today cause my monitor is a real dark hog. still i use gammaoffset=1.4 and monitor brightness and gamma at max .

but why doesnt gamma working in glide or d3d ?

ps: the s3tc screens looking awesome...with this good old unreal doesnt need to hide his wrinkled face to newer engines like q3 or ut

[Smirftsch]

its interessting, since unreal looks better with s3tc than ut; compare it if u want with ut loading deck16; (the old one, simply copy it from ur unreal into ur ut dir) - aside this, u should know unreal 226 isnt a new patch, its a cut out of ut, so somehow the engine is very similar anyway (except skeletal meshes) - somehow its sad that this game, nearly not modified is that beautiful and can still compared to actual games, imagine what its could be today if only epic had finished the work on it - they could have done this within weeks, maybe days, i had to collect sources and stuff and and and to manage it now in over 4 years....

btw, hi argh

yes ive heard for sure that the v226 is ripped from ut...similar to ut 420 if i remember it right ?

i always thought about ut that its not more than a unrealmod or expansionpak like rtnp ."not more" isnt meant in a negative sense..ut has some things i miss in unreal (better playercontrol..well it doesnt feel that "sluggish" like unreal)
all in all its like you say...sad that unreal never really left the betastage ,but poeple crying always for fresh meat and with ut2k3 and u2 epic is going to feet em...no time for a handfull hungry mouths like ours ,its buisness

other...i always only grab the good stuff and there isnt much i could give as feedback but if you still look for someone for the mapreviews tell me short how you want a review and where ive to post them.
looking with one eye in your mapdir i saw much well known maps like decyber's ,veltor ,sinfonia do they need a review too?

greetings
