While I was looking for a Battlecraft 2.1 download link I came across Battlecraft 2.0, and I saw this:

Battlecraft 1942 has known issues on the following cards:

Radeon (7200) 64MB
Radeon 7500 64 MB
Radeon 8500 64 MB
Radeon 9000 64 MB

The following workaround will address any issues encountered while generating shadows using the above cards:

Step 1. Unpack the game.rfa using one of the freely available .rfa unpacking utilities.
Step 2. Open the init.con file.
Step 3. Add the line "raytracer.init" to the end of the file (do not include the quotation marks).
Step 4. Save the file and repack the .rfa file.

So I tried looking that up on google and I came across this.

RayTracer:

rayTracer.addIgnoreObject (string)

rayTracer.addIgnoreObjectTemplate [float]

rayTracer.init

rayTracer.light.create (after you create one, these become availible)

rayTracer.light.direction [Vec3]

rayTracer.light.intensity [float]

rayTracer.light.shadowIntensity [float]

rayTracer.light.selfShadowing [1/0]

rayTracer.light.objectShadows [1/0]

rayTracer.light.fov [float]

rayTracer.light.viewDistance [float]

rayTracer.light.softness [float]

rayTracer.ambientIntestity [float]

rayTracer.onlyNearest [1/0]

rayTracer.rangeBegin [uint]

rayTracer.rangeEnd [uint]

rayTracer.blockSize [uint]

rayTracer.sampleOffset [float]

rayTracer.shadowsNearCamera [1/0]

Anything.. useful? It looked interesting so i'll try some things with it.

dunno really.. but i thought ray tracing had to do with REAL reflections and refractions?

Is no more

these ray tracing references are purely for the shadow generation.. I think you are thinking of caustic raytracing... light through a glass/water etc..

Ray-tracing makes things like reflection, refraction or shadow generation really, really easy (for the programmer. The CPU will cringe). There is nobody forcing you to have any of these, though, you can just use some of these things (or none at all, although I don't know why you'd do that). Trust me on this, I'm an expert
