Strange gun textures, tired machine ?

Postby hika » Sun Jul 16, 2006 1:06 am

After some good playing in the sig11's test server, all my guns deserve is some flashy colors ;)

I don't know if I can either reproduce it, one day.
I don't think it can be a map problem.
Perhaps it is related with the graphic card, the driver, the Q3 version (or new implementation) ?

The screenshots were taken from my FreeBSD 6.1 machine, with Nvidia 6600GT, Nvidia driver 1.0.8178, CleanQ3 v0.5.2 (ports/games/cleanq3)

After restarting the game, all is back to normal.
Just strange it is.

That is video card related. Usually happens when your vid card gets too hot or could be just a random driver glitch.

I hope that was only my graphic card getting too hot.
Same for me (my head and eyes) after some hot testing with the other dudes ;)

Wow, I've never seen anything like that before! Your weapons look like you got them for Christmas and are still gift wrapped. :lol:

Yeah, you know, the test and play time yesterday, is like ones I have with my old friends at Christmas (for all night long). It was really fun.
Moreover, I mimic Santa Claus a lot, yesterday, in the Lake cabin, by jumping into the chimney :lol:

At one time, I had funky colors or textures. too. But it only happened once. A reboot (or maybe only a restart of X) fixed the problem.

Here there are :
Red's pants, that were a gift from Santa :

Caffeine"s hat ... from Santa too :lol:

And the worst pics :) : Foggy lake !
Image

... and don't even try to ask how I do this ... I simply don't know :)

I only know that I have to restart the game, to correct these.

PS : Thanks for posing, Red and Caffeine ^_^

Hey, Red, how about these black pants ?
Image

I guess Lady Jane likes this kind of fashion too, with her black jacket.
Image

I'm just wondering how it could be, if the pants and jacket are combined ... ;)

About Picture of the Week, I did not know if it was appropriate to send some "buggy" picture. I don't want to show a "bad" image of WQ3.
Or ... is it a new feature that my box can display some funky clothes ? ;)
With your permission, I will post some of them (or future screenshots) in the POTW, then.

Your vid card problem isn't going to make the mod look bad. :)

You don't post to POTW, it's not a forum or anything like that. You send it to us as an attachment via the email link under the POTW and then Red or I will post it with a caption.
you can even write your own caption for it in the email or leave it up to us to make one up..

Anyway, go ahead and send it..
