UT Black spots on edges

[AltTab]

Hi i was wondering if anybody knows how 2 fix
The dark spots on edges of walls

Iv seen the same SS but from different players that dont have blackspots like this


My SS


Renderers iv used
D3d8,D3d9,Opengl2.8 and Opengl3.4

Its most likely map itself because the mapper might has not used denamic lighting correctly

[AltTab]

Thxs for your reply
But iv seen other players with the same SS as mine with no black edges

[lauren]

They might not use dynamic lightning. theres an option in preferences to disable it

[AltTab]

Nope thats not it

Thxs for your help tho

RightMouseButton on Surface -> Surface Properties

Be sure your on the Tab called "Flags"
As you can see you see that you can tick some boxes. The one that can involve lights and shadows are

- High Shadow Detail
- Low Shadow Detail
- Dirty Shadows
- Bright Corners


I think to solve your problem you need to Tick the boxes, Bright Corners or/and High shadow detail



I hope i helped you enough with it!

AltTab then listen to lauren! cause those dark spots are created by some mapper that doesnt controled his lightning skills to well in Ued

this is how far i can help good luck further

Found the problem
Dload and installed a different video driver and the black spots are gone

-Thxs for everyones help and suggestions

Just check "bright corners" in surface properties, that does a good job of making the whole surface nice looking and fit along with the texgtures around it.

Uehm... Zerg i already said that everything solved further AltTab?

[AltTab]

Yes the 177.79(I think or 49) gf drivers took care of about 80% of the dark spots
The rest of the dark spots looks like they should be there

Im guessing the Bright Spot option is in UnrealEd?

Im not a mapper and thats just a map i play

jeps totally Any questions about Ued just ask in the mapping thread

[Saya-chan]

What is the "Dirty shadows" flag for? I can't see the difference.

Any questions about Ued just ask in the mapping thread

Is it possible to send a non player actor through a spline?
