Great mod, but leaves a few questions unanswered

So, I just downloaded this mod yesterday. Its my first mod, and dammit, I'm impressed! (as you can see by my sig, hehe) I plan on showing my friends what great new video game I bought when I see them again :D. They'd never know the difference! Anyway, the graphics are amazing (love the lighting on the guns!), and I like the little tweaks like the scopes on the guns. Especially cool is the guided missle, but its kinda awkward and hard to use, plus makes you look really weird all moving around like that :lol:

But, there are also, a few questions, most are which are stupid n00b questions, but I couldn't find answers, so, whatever. First, what is the "use" button? whenever I press E I smack someone in the face, and I don't want to do that, I just want some ammo! Second, is there a way to reduce recoil on the sniper rifle? Crouching doesn't seem to help at all. Third, how do I get all those nifty effects that are shown in your screenshots? I mean bloom lighting on the weapons, depth of field, etc. Finally, and yes I know this is a beta and all, and we shouldn't expect everything, but will vehicles ever come into play?
Thanks, and once again, this mod rocks!

As far as i know "E" is just for smacking indeed. Comes in handy when you are are in close combat of course or just want to annoy your team mates. :lol: Taking ammo from box is "Return" for me. I can't remember putting it there so i guess it's the default bind.

Sniper recoil is something i didn't get too. It actually seems kinda random since sometimes there's none and sometimes it just goes way up. Doesn't bother me though.

Ok, use is u by default, you should go and look at all the option in the "CONFIGURE CONTROLS" menu on the last tab in "Settings"
The missile launcher does take some getting used to. . . But on the other hand, if it were to easy to use and did too much damage, it would be much more popular ! Its perfect for the jobs that need to be done. (taking out objectives / turrets) .

I'm pretty sure the bloom effects in screenshots are post process ones (i.e. they are done with programs like photoshop)
Glad you like da, and I'll be headshotting you on the servers if i see you any time soon ! :lol: adios amigo !

I used the bloom mutator, but it was rather laggy :)

If i did use bloom, it was for wallpapers only :)

You can always check the game manual if you need help, I tried to write it as a guide to anyone who picks up DA2 regardless of skill.

Its not complete as there is just so much bloody content to write for it :) even I keep finding new things ;)

PS, Love the sigs :)

If you want official signatures and avators, i got a huge list here on the forums you can pick from :

Flux's I definetly have the hardware to handle simple bloom lighting without any problems (even if I have to lower my rez to 1024x768). I tried looking for the mutator on Unrealwiki but the link is broken. Can you perchance email me the mutator (if you still have the file) or point me to a site other than Unreal Wiki if you were able to find it elsewhere. I'd be much obliged.

As luck would have it, I do!

I had to put the .rar inside a .zip as the forums dont allow rar's + i am too tired to extract it and then zip it :)

Here you go, now I am off to bed :D

Yes the bloom does get funky... havent tried it in a while.

The only things I've noticed is that if you try and max the blooming you get "semi-transparent weapons" and textures kinda get the motion blur treatment. At lower levels it's more tolerable. This is more like Faux Bloom lighting than real bloom lighting. The BL mod for HL2 is far better though.

Edit: If you can figure out how to fix the transparency effect on weapons let me know lol, it was working fine when I first ran it, then after that no matter what I do all I get is transparent weapons.

Sorry for bringing this up again. Fluxs, What settings do you have your bloom lighting mutator set to to give it the effect we see in your stills that you've posted up. So far I've only been able to get it to look likle the crap I posted to you (I normally play at 1280x960 but had to lower the res to keep a fps over 50). I'm using an eVGA GeForce 6800nu with the Nvidia 78.01 drivers if it's any help.

I live in Trumbull, Connecticut lol. I've been your way a few times. Philly is a great place, especially since it's near "King of Prussia". God I love that mall.
