JA Versus JO: Lighting
2003-10-16, 6:04 AM #1
Am I correct in assuming that it's the exact same? As in: Q3Map2 allows JO to achieve whatever JA can in terms of lighting? I realize that JA can do some things that JO can't, such as portal skies, but for most of the graphics, the only upgrade from JO to JA is that they switched form SoF2MAP to Q3Map2, right?

JO supported Q3Map2 as well. Only, JA displays shadows way better.

the way I understand it, regardless of Q3map2, JO MP will remder less detailed and crappy looking lightmaps because of the way it is coded.

That because JA is able to handle higher resolution shadows. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

So, anyone know the resolutions of the lightmaps, then?

No, the resolution of the lightmaps is the same, 128x128. The reason JA MP looks better than JO MP is because JO was bugged to **** and didn't render lightmaps properly, among other things.

JA also has new shader effects, ARIOCHE terrain, a lot of new entities and is overall less buggy.
