.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Glest can be configured in three ways:
|
|
.br
|
|
- in-game config menu: basic parameters
|
|
.br
|
|
- configuration tool: advanced parameters
|
|
.br
|
|
- glest.ini: all parameters
|
|
|
|
.SH VIDEO CARD HINTS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Auto config.
|
|
.br
|
|
The first time you run the game it will try to detect the graphic settings most
|
|
suitable for your video card. It's highly recommended that you don't change them
|
|
unless you really know what you are doing. If you change the settings and you
|
|
want to reset to the recommended ones, you can do it by using the auto config
|
|
button in the in-game config menu.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Required card features.
|
|
.br
|
|
The game requires either OpenGL 1.4 or OpenGL 1.3 plus the GL_ARB_env_crossbar
|
|
extesion. Most video cards with recent drivers support this features. You can
|
|
bypass the feature check by replacing the "CheckGlCaps=1" line in glest.ini by
|
|
"CheckGlCaps=0", but the game may crash or have graphics errors.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ATI card problems.
|
|
.br
|
|
It seems to be bug in some ATI OpenGL drivers that makes the game crash with
|
|
certain card/driver configurations when using more than 1 light. Auto config will
|
|
detect this issue and turn off all secondary lights when it detects an ATI card.
|
|
If you still want to try running the game using more than 1 light you can change
|
|
this setting in the in-game config menu.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Shadows.
|
|
.br
|
|
The game features real-time shadows using different algorithms. 1) Projected: Fast
|
|
shadows but they provide unit over terrain shadows only, and can produce incorrect
|
|
shadows in some circumstances. 2) Shadow mapping: Slow shadows but they are
|
|
always correct and provide everything over everything shadows. In ATI cards they
|
|
look aliased. Both types of shadows require a video card with 3 texture unit
|
|
support. Auto config will set the most suitable shadow mode for your video card.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B 3D textures
|
|
.br
|
|
The game uses 3D textures for some effects like animated water. Some old video cards
|
|
(ie: GeForceMX) don't support this feature by hardware and the game runs really
|
|
slow when the camera is near a river. Auto config will detect this and disable
|
|
3D textures when needed.
