Bump mapping in carmageddon TDR 2000

[pepijnve]

Has anyone been able to turn on the bumpmapping in carmageddon TDR 2000. It says everywhere that it's built into the game, but on my computer (with g400 of course) the bump mapping check box is grrayed out

[Bursar]

I had this same problem. I posted a message onto a message board on a fan site, and one of the admins replied. He's a G400 pwner as well, so he wants it fixed.

His reply was along the lines of: The feature was dropped from the final game because it wasn't tested enough to know if it worked proplerly. A patch is in the pipeline that should enable the option.

The other thing I thought of (which I haven't done anything about yet), is that I am using the 5.10 beta drivers.

It's possible that TDR isn't really detecting my card as a G400. The certified drivers may clear this up and enable the option.

The certified drivers are slower though, which is why I haven't done anything about it.

Err... is Carma TDR2000 actually OUT yet? Or are you blokes over in the UK (where it should magically appear first...)?

Yep, it's been out here since the friday before last. Although I only just got it working on friday, due to CD-R issues (when will someone release a decent copy protection scheme?)

No bumpmapping, but still some fine deformation on the panel surfaces after a smash.

Unfortunately it appears to be harder to get extra time than in previous games, and so I suck at it 8-(

Aye,
Us UK'ers have had the game for almost two weeks now.
Good old 'zombies & green blood' version but nice and easy to patch
The game does look good, and even with all details switched on and running in 1024x768 it flies.
Once you US peeps get it you will be impressed.

I emaild SCI about this problem and the reply i got was this:

We are looking at this here. It may be settings related, or a particular
drivers issue. Which version of the drivers are you on?
If you have any more queries, please contact us again.

[Haig]

It isn't a driver issue. A patch will be released shortly to get EMBM properly enabled.

Hey Paulr,

I've been a fan of the Carmageddon series since the beginning (it helps when you're frustrated and I was wondering if the game is faster than the test that came out a while ago.

On my rig, it was really slow in 800x600 in 16 bits

What do you have?

Thanks Sicna

Sicna, I have very similar specs as you do... Except you have a G400MAX and I have 384mb ram... and that I run win98. carmageddon tdr 2k runs fine on my comp 1024x768x32. What o/s are you running when you played it, winme or win2k? Maybe it doesnt like either of the os's...

[Sicna]

I tried running it on the 2 os and I get almost the same performance on both.

Not much of a difference I have to admit. I tried 98 SE or ME it's exactly the same thing

it's really annoying

[Arsa]

Alpha was ok on my box though...
Pretty quick, much faster than Carma 2 on K6-450 & Voodoo 1 as I remember it ;-) ....

The final game runs a lot smoother than the beta/demo did.
I'm running in 1024x768 under Win2000.
I was using the beta 5.10 drivers, I'm now using the latest certified ones.
The menu's are really clunky, they seem to jerk around the screen, but the actuall game runs well.
I must get my sig sorted out, but for information, I'm running it on:
Intel DE815EE, PIII 700E, 512MB PC100 RAM, G400MAX, ATA-100 IBM Drives, Pinoeer 32x/6x SCSI DVD-ROM.
