I would love to see a screenshot. I remember the lava being absolutely beautiful.

Here for details and screenshots :

Supposedly it only works with some Matrox graphic cards...

Thanks dude! 'ppreciate it.

it actually worked on one of my old ati cards back in the day.

You can enable it for DKII.EXE if you set -enablebumpmapping -enablebumpluminance in your shortcut.

Also Timeslip's updated patch using DKII-DX.EXE allows you to set bump mapping in the config

Here is my config file with antialiasing and anisotropy enabled http://www.mediafire.com/download/l2v9uehi9wi4jrr/GOG.7z

The config file is located in c:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\GOG\DungeonKeeper2\

You can edit the line Bumpmap=1 to enable it there. It's disabled by default because it's a little too shiny for my tastes.

Hi,

Thank you for the detailed reply. You don't have a screenshot handy, do you? I'm skeptical that you are actually getting the bumpmaps working :) On my current laptop, adding those commandline options enabled the environment maps that were supposed to go on top of the bumpmaps, but didn't actually add the bumpmaps themselves, resulting in what I would similarly describe as a "too shiny" look.

I think you're right, I just zoomed right into the lava and it looks very different from this example

Never paid such close attention to it before, or zoomed in that far :-) DKII seems to be full of surprises.

Eh, maybe not! Your screenshot is actually how I remember it looking years ago. On my current laptop, trying to enable bumpmaps makes it look much worse, just a shiny mess with no detail :) I will have to try timeslip's patch. Thanks again dude

Oh? Well, that's intriguing. It does appear to look slightly messier than the screenshot on that web-site though.

I have an Nvidia graphics card in my system, and was able to achieve this without the use of Timeslip's patch.
