Having thrown out my dying 7950 and replaced it with a 4670 I've had a little play with the catalyst control center 3D options to make the QL graphics to my liking. I use picmip 5 at 640 res (prefer the crosshair like this and get 120hz refresh) with anti aliasing set quite high to make things nice a precise.
I've set the 3D options in the control center to one notch off "top quality". The graphics look amazingly clear and smooth with these settings but the shaft graphic I don't like. It appears to go on forever and the tip is extremly fine and small. I find it harder to aim like this.
I want to make the shaft back how it was - where the tip appears to cut off so the end of the shaft appears wider. However, I would prefer to keep the rest of my graphics as close as possible to how they currently are. Can anyone point me towards the "one" setting that will alter this?
I can simply set the graphics closer to "performance" to achieve this effect but at the expense of everything else becoming less clear including text and the crosshair.
Also, I don't suppose theres a way of using the old Quake 3 picmip 5 shaft is there?
Thanks
