What do these OpenGL descriptors mean?

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

After combing through my UnrealTournament and Infilitration config files to follow through on some suggestions given to me by Geo, I'm left wondering what a lot of the OpenGL descriptors mean? What do they do? When should they be enabled or disabled? I have a Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card, what then should my optimal settings be for superb graphics?

Any help on spelling out what all of these variables are would be GREATLY appreciated!

RefreshRate=75 :: The hertz that your monitor refreshes at in the game. (75 tims a sec)

DetailTextures=True :: I believe this to be about the better textures, like the footsteps in snow that are driven by alphas.

UseTNT=False :: Used if you want to kill any p^r member.

Translucency=True :: Translucency = opacity.

ShinySurfaces=True :: Makes people with ADD happy.

UseAlphaPalette=False :: See two points up. Maybe three.

Coronas=True :: Photographers hate these, game devs love them. They are the things the sun causes... the little rings...

HighDetailActors=True :: Actors = dynamic object.
