Posts: 3086 | Very Important when installing this mod...:
This is a full packed mod installation and doesn't require nothing more to run than the game, so i recommend carefully that if it is not the first time you installed this mod, better for safety please remove FIRST any older version of the same mod before proceeding to install the mod, so you make it sure that you start it all in a NEW & FRESH FIRST INSTALL, doing it in this way the possibility of doubled files, wrong priority file order, too much wasted disk space and things like this are gone forever, well, at least as for the next version to come out. 
So, before installing this FULL mod, go into the root directory of this game and then remove ONLY the folder containing the older version of this mod. Now you are ready to install a FRESH NEW CLEAN FULL latest version of this mod !
Thanks for reading this important note.  |

Posts: 3086 | I have recently found and fixed a new big bug on ambientlight.vfp GL shader making Q4 game playing always with no ambient lights as yet, and the worst thing is that it hasn't been never fixed neither by Raven software creators of the game or any other nice user out there, its a small one line change to fix it but completely deactivates ambientlight.vfp GL shader making Q4 to run always with NO ambient lights !!!
I have to admit that this kind of things on Q4 game doesn't surprise me, because one the first complains about this good game (but not as good as D3) is that it had been full of bugs since its release ! (and some of this bugs are of big importance !)  |

Posts: 6 | Unfortunately this mod does not seem to want to work correctly for me. The shadows are all screwy, gritty and overly dark and look nothing like what you have screenshotted. Also the ingame gui's are also broken and when I look at them my hud starts to glitch and scramble. I don't understand whats wrong. My computer should more than handle this mod. Here are my specs:
Intel Q9550 2.83GHz
EVGA 790i motherboard
Nvidia GTX275
4 Gigabytes of ddr3 RAM "1600fsb"
Soundblaster X-fi ExtremeGamer
Please help me Dafama2k7, I want better graphics for quake.  |

Posts: 6 | I forgot to mention that the terrain in this mod looks horrible do to the shadow issue I mentioned. It makes the ground look pitch black except for what is facing me directly. I wish I could provide a screenshot but I don't know how I would upload one to show. |

Posts: 3086 | Hi to all !
I want to let know all that have already upload it a NEW NG Cool Shaders v1.8 mod that has many fixes, more compatibility because have made and test this mod with my new NVidia 9500GT 1024Mb. gfx card, also makes Q4 to look much new, really try it, soon it will be available here, when the administrators here can post it.
And this new version is recommended to all of you, but specially to most users that have a much newer gfx card on a higher range than my previous NVidia 7600GT 256Mb. gfx card that died in action some weeks ago.
Also this annoying bug will be fixed on any of my other Q4, D3 and the like mods that may contain it.  |

Posts: 3086 | Hi !
Just Copy & Paste the next line into the Autoexec.cfg configuration text file and save it or when playing Quake 4, Doom 3 or Prey enter into the Console and type or paste (with CTRL+ c to Copy and then CTRL + v to paste, combo keys !) this line...:
bind "MOUSE2" "toggle g_fov 70 90; toggle g_gunx -.25 0; toggle g_guny 2.25 0; toggle g_gunz .25 0"
Try it, this simply line adds the new style of Zoom + POV (Point of View) combo seen on newer FPS games like ETQW, Wolfy 2k9, RAGE, Borderlands, COD-MF and many others.
Oh, and soon a new version of Unpredictable for Quake 4 will be available very soon with more new features and enhancements, fixes... |
