HDR in New Maps?

[jellydoughnut217]

I was under the impressions that CSS would not ever have HDR implimented into it, however, i have recently heard talk about valve implimenting HDR into future CSS map releases (such as the upcomming militia and nuke) and i was just wondering if anyone knows official word

HDR will be added to CSS maps soon enough. This is why I think they held up on releasing those 2 maps they mentioned last week for a bit.

Why would they add the option for HDR if they were to never implement it?

I dont know about you, but I'm going to find HDR in CS:S a little bit... Distracting, although all-to-realistic. For some reason HDR in CS:S's basic maps doesn't seem very impressive at all. However, on some of the better looking maps ( CS_MILITIA AND DE_INFERNO), I could imagine some nice effects

It would be cool, but my computer just doesnt have the juice to support hdr to its fullest. Time for a upgrade.

 

[Gothax?]

Could someone explain how HDR exactly works? I mean, it does give me a slight performance loss, but nothing that completely hinders my playing experience

It'll take a chunk out of your system for sure. For example, it you had 40 FPS before HRD, you'd get about 25 FPS after. Awesome effect but not worth it on some systems.

Valve should be releasing the hdr code to hammer sometime soon

HDR is being added to de_nuke along with the 2 new models. Wait.
