Sreenshots on Red Orchestra site faked?

[BASE]

Hi,
This "Arad" screenshot from media section of this site looks much better than my Arad with maximum graphic settings. Is it a fake? I want this water effect on Arad, too:

No, regular screenshots converted to jpg, resized and watermark added. Thats all.

Maybe the map version was different (older), don't know.

My water looks like that, running D3D9 and bloom.

But look at this mirroring water surface.
My water at Arad looks much simpler.
I also run D3D9 and bloom (1900 XT).
I only get this water surface on Kaukasus map but not on Arad.

Thats becuase that picture was taken on an earlier version of the map. Arad used to have grass too.

How did you do that, to let the water on Arad look like on the screenshot?
The standard water on Arad is so ugly. I want this D3D9-water too, I am sure my graphics card can manage it.

who cares what the freakin' water looks like. jeebus. just stick to concentrating on knocking out the enemy tanks!

We ran into problem with arad sporting grass and that water, even high end system started chugging along.

Does RO give you the D3D9.dll or do you need to DL off the internet?
Thanks

Im not sure my water reflects all thouse (non-existant) tree's, i just mean i do have the high-gloss surface, that comes on when you use D3D9, and is enhanced some when using bloom.

The Cubemap used in the screenshot (Cubemaps is how you make water reflections in U2.5) looks horrible if you ask me, its refelcting tree's that do not exist, so im inclined to agree its from an earlier version, one where excess tree's had been removed but the cubemap had still not been corrected.

Yes, this was just an earlier version.

A shallow stream like that in the middle of a battle wouldn't be all glassy anyway. It'd be turbid and churned up.

 

[Vonreuter]

Arad is a horrible map.

 

[FlashPanHunter]

Arad is a horrible map.

Well, you should hear what it says about you!

 

[Scoobin]

You should at least see that water affect on hedgehog under the bridge

 

[Moz]

I've got a soft spot for the old ARAD though, it was such a smooth looking level.

 

[EvilHobo]

Well, you should hear what it says about you!

But Arad isn't in Soviet Russia!

 

[SgtH3nry3]

But Arad isn't in Soviet Russia!

You might hate Arad here, but in Soviet-Russia Arad hates ... YOU!

Me and Arad, we have a mutual aggression pact.
