Color issues, map issues.

[BA Baracus]

G3/400 256M 9.0.4 ATI Rage 128 UT 425a Inf 2.82

1) CT-Blue, can see the blue just fine on my own player(the arms holding the gun) but the actual skins color on the bots and myself(from outside view) is so dark it's indistinguishable from CT-Black. i don't have any other problems with the maps or anything else being too dark. happens on 16 and 32bit color.

2) Any of the Reactor maps cause Inf to simply quit either while loading or within seconds of starting the map(usually before i can even spawn for the first time) just goes straight to the desktop with no error message at all and nothing useful in the .log file

3) in Kzakhstan, there is a certain point on the blue teams side, where the ramp goes underground, if I or bots walk between the wood crate and the chainlink fence, instant death. if someone would kindly tell my dumb self how to take a screen-grab i'll post it and show where i'm talking about.

have a look at these to see what i'm talking about

see picture

[BA Baracus]

notice my arms. you cant tell in the picture but if you get really really close to a bot you can kind of see just a little tint of a deep royal blue in some spots

If you haven't tried to reinstall INF you may want to. Sometimes simple stuff like that can fix anything.

You forgive and forget.
But you will never forget you forgave and forgot.

Yeah, I'm with Pacman on this one. Plus that red snow doesn't look right to me either (my snow is white).

reinstalled UT from CD, immediately patched to 436, installed inf, map pack, 281 patch, 282 patch. CT-Blue is still too dark to distinguish from CT-Black. UT brightness is all the way up, if i turn my monitor brightness up then CT-Blue starts to become well, blue, and i can find a point where the is a nice balance in being able to see CT-Blue but everything else isn't washed out. however, at this brightness setting, the menus and the soldier displayed there, etc are horribly washed out. also, it still says inf 2.80 as my version at the main screen, i thought this might have been a glitch before so i didn't mention it, but it's still present after the reinstall.

as for the instant death, i see in the manual that's a known problem already...

haven't been able to try reactor4 or reactor6 to see if they work now, will try that tonight.

[BA Baracus]

well, i was able to play them, kinda...
check out those textures
(this was not a one-time thing either)

[BA Baracus]

i suppose it's *possible* that the files became corrupted during downloading/extracting, but i downloaded both reactor4 and reactor6 two times, each had the f'ed up textures both times...

[Zundfolge]

I would uninstall INF and uninstall UT, then reinstall them both clean.
1st UT, then UT Upgrade patch then INF, then 2.82 patch then add the maps, I'll bet that fixes it.

Damn ATI cards are a pain, My 450 G4 w/512 9.0.4 doesn't run UT nearly as well as my PIII 450 a/128 WinME and a Voodoo3 3000, I'll bet a Voodoo3 3000 would make all the difference too.


That and stop dropping acid ;)

that's what i did though(see above the screen shots). to summarize

before:
CT-Blue too dark
Can't play Reactor4/6
says version 2.80 even though is 2.82

delete entire UT folder and UT prefs, reinstall off CD, patch immediately to 436, install inf2.80, map pack, inf 2.81, inf2.82, install reactor maps, create a minimal extention set, up UT's ram allocation to 200M, launch inf and reconfigure my keys/etc(didn't keep and copy over old user.ini). all in that order

after:
CT-Blue still too dark with inf brightness all the way up, adjust monitor brightness so CT-Blue ok and map not washed out, but menus now washed out.
Reactor 4/6 play but with, um, interesting textures.
still says version 2.80

i suppose i could try the whole uninstall/reinstall mess one more time, sigh...
