[hammertime23]

what is the best brightness to use for cyberfuks lighting?

[JaoSming]

90 - 100

[hammertime23]

Okay I'm using the streetmod and I can't really see a difference.

[Silas]

I use 100 but only on Dahl's courts otherwise the court gets really bright.

For Bilinear, Trilinear, and Antiropic the answer is here http://www.nbaliveforums.com/ftopic38075.php

It has to do with how well the textures get drawn in the game, when you view them from far away and from a steep angle..
And as SilasDC said: Anisotropic filtering is the best (slowest), after that comes Trilinear, and last comes Bilinear filtering (fastest).
If you have a very good computer, run the game with anisotropic, but if have a 'not-so-good' computer, use trilinear or even bilinear.

Hey thanks, never noticed that thread....

Well I'm not sure if your card can support it T-wave... Only way to check is in game... Might want to find out if someone else has that card and if it supports it. I'd think it probably wouldnt, maybe it would, but I'm honestly not sure.

Thanks Silas, for the info. Before, I couldn't get lighting to work, then a while back, I upgraded the drivers and went into my details settings, and I could turn lighting on. The problem is, I don't see the effects in game, like the sweat on the players from the sweat patch. Dissapointing, but I've learned to live with it. Thanks.

Hi T. we have the same card. can you help me get the driver where you have successfully enabled your lighting. i have the latest from nvidia but still no success with lighting.

[JaoSming]

just because I like to self promote


I think my create a player update should be on the list

Don't think so... No pixel-shading thing [?]

i think so too

[Silas]

I would get a better card cbow54. And JaoSming, what does your create-a-player update do exactly? I saw it updates textures or something, but I'm still not quite sure.

[cbow54]

ok i will

[JaoSming]

it uses the textures in 2005, which are I think 4 times better than 06's.
for instance the hair actually looks like hair and not playdough.

I posted a preview pic somewhere and if you download the zip, in it there are more before and afters.




I just think that it makes the CAP actually fun to do without having to make a cyberface for your player.

[cbow54]

can somebody give me some names of video cards that work?

[Silas]

Nvidia FX 5200 is a cheap card that will run the game on high no problem.

Also, Jao I added your CAP update

[hammertime23]

Does it support lighting?

[paulodezine]

i think the card supports lightning but not pixel shading. am i right? i got an email from NVIDIA, they told me that MX440 supports lighting.

[Silas]

The Nvidia fx5200 can run the game on high, you can use the sweat patch, it looks as good as the game would be with a 7900GTX, it just gets probably 30-40 fps, which is fine. I never had a single lag problem with it.

[hammertime23]

Well that one was really cheap on ebay. Do you know one maybe 100 bucks or less that are better than that?

[Silas]

maybe Nvidia fx 6000 or the ATI x700

also, you need to look in your pc or the manual for your motherboard and find out if your card is PCI, PCI-E, or AGP

[dragonkillerg]

dont count on it =P cuz im using hte mx440 and i have the option to turn off or on my lighting and its on i dont relaly see any sweat with pdub sweat patch

[paulodezine]
