Is it possible that i can set another fog and sunlight only for dx7 in the main gsc or fx_gsc for MP?

Dont know if it is correct but something like this from SP:

{
if (getcvar("r_rendererInUse") == "dx7")
setCullFog (000, 3500, 1, 1, 1, 0.1);
setSunLight( 1, 1, 1.2 );
}

thx for any help

well... you can try?

I'm not sure about the sunlight, but the fog should be working that way...

{
if (getcvar("r_rendererInUse") == "dx7")
{
setCullFog (000, 3500, 1, 1, 1, 0.1);
setSunLight( 1, 1, 1.2 );
}
else
{
setCullFog (000, 1500, 1, 1, 1, 0.1);
}
}

however... if you do this, you will give an unfair advantage to certain players, because people with DX7 can (in this script) see much further.

thanks
i will try it and understand your point maybe its better only for sp..
it was just because my map looks fine at dx9 but the same settings looks much brighter in dx7..would like to have the same light and fog design as in dx9 but ok

I was wondering is it possible with script, out of day map create night map?
(Using some of methods not mentioned in this thread)

The other thing are the coordinates of fog/smoke etc. how the coordinate system of a map works? Can someone explain that to me, please.

Tnx!

P.S. is there a link explaining script methods and their parameters (and meaning of the values) that could be used

as far as the sun you can open your map with note pad at the top is your sun or world spawn if its world spawn you can replace the tex values from stock world spawn settings that will add sun, shadows you can change sun color values as well here and height and direction of your sun ,,there maybe an easyer way but thats how i did it fog is in gsc script

No you can't.. the actual lighting is added during the compile process... the colour of the sunlight, sun direction (and thus shadows) will only affter models if I'm not mistaken.. which I've been known to be...

as for the fog... there is a CoD tutorial explaining the basics of the .gsc file called "GSC File Creation Options". it explains the parameters in the cullfog.

thx, guys...

So in other words have to unzip iwd file, use Radiant and change some things :)
Compile a new map and that's it.

I'm interested, are the sky light, sky colors, clouds, also part of that map package or they are rendered by game engine?

Can I say in GSC file that certain map will use heavy rain clouds, or that's also part of Radiant map project?

Do you mean you want to edit maps that are not yours?

1) No.. the .iwd files contain already compiled maps.. Radiant can't open those.

2) yes, yes, yes.

3) yes, in the .gsc file

As Capt.Com asked.. I hope you're not thinking about editing other people's maps or .gsc files. Don't do that without permission of the maker of the map.

I'm not trying to publish or change somthing that's not mine work if you are refering to that... i'm just trying to learn something here...

I'm truely sorry if that also is not correct from me

But the thing is that I downloaded map that was not working initialy. Than after couple of hours I spent to fixing the problems with scripts i got it to work. Now I'm very interested into that scripting but first I would like to know what can i do with scripts.
By now i wasn't able to find good links that would explain all things I wish to now :(

Acctualy this portal is the one with most usable resources I have found.

And thank you guys for helping me one way or another.
Trying to figure out the whole proccess... maybe from the wrong side, but that's the side I understand the most...programing :)
