yeah, i know i used to have a non shader card that could play far cry, but every thing was just rendered all messed up like the terrain was ice blue, if you want to know how to do this just look up materials, and and look for settings like specular power and ambient, tweak them, and you should be able to get the effect you want, but it isnt a shader that that is using

I think it´s just environment mapping. You can do that with FFP.

Is't there a flag metal=on that should do that?

Speaking of which I never got that to work anyone know how to use it?

Yes you can do cubic environment mapping in the fixed function...

That metal flag is an old flag, no longer used I think..

Well, Im able to use the metalic flag, but like I said, its blan. Really all it does, from what Ive seen, is make it look like its trying to look like metal, but not shiny in anyway. Kinda hard to describe..

But what you guys mention is very helpful. I will try the code in the link as soon as I have the time today, and see if I cant get it to work.

Thnx.

well i dont think that card can even use ffp, i think the "environment map" is actually part of the texture.

even gf2 mx400 supported environment mapping

oh, well maybe then. hmmm

I have a pc with a Geforce2MX and NFS underground works fine on almost full settings, shaders and all.

Geforce2MX cannot run HLSL or ASM shaders. But it can run fixed function effects. And you can create multi-texturing (several textures at terrain), dot3-bump-mapping and cubic environment mapping with FFP.
