What is it?
-----------
A modified shader for Doom 3 and RoE that updates Doom's graphics to a more modern day level.
This new version should correct problems with the new 8000 series Geforces.
Features
-----------------------------------
# HQ specular highlights #
- Power function based falloff
- Dynamic falloff (shinyness)
- Specular map masking
- Per-pixel Halfangle math
# HQ Normalmapping #
- Normalmap normalization increases bumpmap quality
- Normalmap filtering reduces specular aliasing
# Other FX #
- "Backlights" add realism by casting subtle light behind objects, as in reality, light tends to reflect and shine back from surfaces it hits.
- "Pocket shadows" creates shadows into the dents of the bumpmaps.
Beta status
------------
Untested for Radeon hardware! Should work "by the specs" but this hasn't insured anything in the past.
So how do I install?
--------------------
Option A: Create a folder to your Doom 3 directory (name it "bhmod" for example) and extract this package there. You can then access the mod trough the Doom 3 mods menu. Use this option if you play online (servers wont allow permanent mods)
Option B: Permanent install (more like "allways enabled"). Extract the file "z_bhmod.pk4" to your doom3/base folder. The mod will then be automatically (and allways) installed.
RoE: Extract the file "z_bhmod.pk4" to your doom3/d3xp folder.
Brilliant Bloom update:
Copy the interactions.vfp from this package's glprogs folder to your brilliant bloom's glprogs (overwriting the old file).
Uninstall?
----------
Option A: Delete the folder you created above.
Option B: Delete file "z_bhmod.pk4" from your doom3/base folder.
RoE: Delete file "z_bhmod.pk4" from your doom3/d3xp folder.

See Doom 3 eula. Also, if you want to use my mod, ask. Not that I wanted to say no, just that I know. And credit me where required.
