Improvements in graphics

[semyonkirov 29,038]

Hey everyone! We are happy to say that Update 200 is ready. From now on battles will look a lot more spectacular as we have finally added the long-awaited light effects from shots and explosions to the game.

But of course, you better see it for yourself. Here is what you need to check the new effect out.

— Your computer must support hardware acceleration in Flash.
— Make sure you enable dynamic lighting in settings.
— The effects will not work in the constrained mode. To check what the mode your system works in, follow this link and watch the Flash demonstration at the bottom of the page. It will say which mode you are using. If it says that the system supports Baseline profile or both Baseline and Constrained profiles, the effects will work. If it says that that the gpu only supports Constrained profile, the effect will not work.



But that is not all. Several other changes have been made to the graphics system of the game. Here they are:

1. You can now see a new checkbox called Anti-aliasing in the settings menu. Disabling it will increase your FPS but the game will loose a bit in terms of graphics’ quality.
2. Players with different monitors now have identical viewing angles. Owners of 4:3 screens used to have a better vertical angle.
3. Previously, the game looked gray and dull without dynamic shadows. Now battles will become brighter and more enjoyable even if shadows are off. This is the result of color correction and lighting without shadows.

That’s it. See you on the battlefield!

Awesome! Can't go wrong with this update. Though I must say I wish I had a better computer to run Tanki on now. I dont even see the options at all except for the skybox/fps options haha.
