Back in Alpha I had such a sucky vidcard that bumping was disabled for fear of fire. Later, I got a somewhat better one, and bumping was turned on, but I figured it was still too sucky for some of the graphics stuff, and left r_glow off due to low framerates.

Now I'm doing all-in-and-4xFSAA at 1280x1024 on my brand spanking new vidcard, and I'm still not seeing bumps on Ice Yo!

I thought this was sorted for Linux too, now? Isn't goodlookingness in The Plan anymore? Sorry, but ice does not look very good...

That bumpmapping method only exists on DirectX, and nobody at Guild has had the time to implement it using OpenGL's bumpmapping/GL shaders.

whats wrong with that look... its looking just fine

What look? The one in the shot?
It looks great!

Compare it to what I see:

Dull low-poly ice. Looks doubleplus ungood.

If it makes you feel better:

Read and see what has been said. Incarnate said "when I have a chance", which is the time immediately following "Soon™".

Just so long as it's on the list :D That's all I ask.
I've been here long enough to know that as long as it's on the list it'll eventually be done.

Feeling better now? :-)

I'm so happy I could cry! BUMPY ICE!
