hey
i know im nerving, but xD i found another awesome cod-2 effect
i took a look on this topic:
http://modsonline.com/Forums-top-95501.html
and somewhere Pedro699 postet this youtube link
wahaha
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&hl=uk&v=0sqjb8-5PWk

look carefully
in the background u can see something like REAL mirror effect
u can see the rotating lightspot AND the playermodel in the mirror, u can see the player too, when he isnt linked to the flak
maybe im stupid, but how the hell?
i only took a random look on this video and i thought WTF :DD

but the barrels aweill be not reflected ;)

mhh nice secret :p

how done?! :D

hmz this looks very very interesting, as i always wanted to port PORTAL to cod2.

If you can do some mirror stuff, maybe the visions behind the portals are possible too :D

oh jeah, many good mapper said it isnt possible
i also think it isnt possible to have REAL mirror, but this what pedro did looks awesome and wouldbe enough for simple mirrors
i cant believe its normal mirror, i think its a trick but mhh wheres pedrooo? :D

My best guess would be some kind of lightning effect in the right direction.

pedro isnt on alot so sometimes your gona be stuck with our poopy help maybe you can take a look at this http://modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-365.html maybe that can help.

yeah first time i saw pedors mirror i also thought it was this mirror effect with the reflective water (it looks awesome on maps!) and also the mirror in his video has the same color like the dirty water mud texture i think
but if u look carefully u can see the spotlight_model moving in the mirror exactly the same like in real AND u can see the playwermodel in mirrir on model and walking away from the model
and i think it isnt possible with the reflective water tutorial :s
i saw pedros last login was 18.12.2010 :(
does some1 got his xf maybe?

yeah ill ask if he can share his secret next time i talk to him im pretty interested in this as well.

Quake 3 and Unreal had mirror effect for the first time in 3D games.


You can make brush with "mirror" texture (in "common" group) applied to it.

CoD1: common/mirror
CoD2: mirror

:(
i dont understand
i bought the game PREY (its pretty nice) for 3 euros and it has nice mirrors, animations and portal-views in it and i know the ut mirrors theyre nice

but in cod2?

i took a look on the radiat texture, and how i expected, cant find mirror texture ._.
so i tried to find mirror-stuff in assetmanager, but i failed
brax u said mirror texture, right ?
mhh
please, can u give us more details?
would be great

i think braxi wanted to say that you have a texture located in the common folder called mirror, which you can apply to any surface and will look like a mirror.

In a game, called Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (uses quake engine) has a shader option and a common texture to do mirrors. In its radiant.

I guess in cod2 this could be a similar way.
