Config Graphics Questions.

[FxyO]

Searched the pinned config mode and could not find anything. What exactly do the following options do?

- Render Target

- Hardware Vertex Shading

- Mipmapping

- Vertical Synchronization (V-sync?)

I have no fps decreases or increases swapping them, just wondering which puts out the best graphics.

Thanks, and loving the game. =)

I did a quick series of mipmapping tests on my Win7 machine (i7 with Integrated 4000, for what it's worth) a while back, and here's how they came out.

I don't actually know the technical details of what it is, though.

Does anyone have any insight?

Not an expert on this, but I'll give you what I know.

Hardware Vertex Shading: Leaving that on caused black boxes to appear in the background of my game, and turning it off fixed it. I didn't really notice any graphical differences btw leaving it on and off

V-sync: It forces the game to run at the same fps as your screen's native fps, i.e. 60 for most screens. If your graphics card can't run the game at 60fps, it doesn't do anything. But since this is a game originally made in 2004, most can run this game at higher than 60, so it's a good idea to leave it on in order to protect your graphics card.

Don't know anything about the other two.

Oh, the trees in Rolent were all textureless blue when I had Hardware Vertex Shading on when on that Win7 machine.

I turned it off and that fixed the problem.

if anyone knows what the others actually do would be helpful. I'm sure others have the same questions too.

I am rather curious as to what "render target" is referring to particularly. I understand what that means on it's own, but I don't get what it is referring to in this context.

Render target (On): Lets me boot the game at all.
