Is there a way to force Transpareny-Antialiasing (ATI: Adaptive Antialiasing) in opengl-games like ET? Googled a bit but found nothing useful. If yes how?
It really doesn´t, normal Antialiasing works ofc, but TAA is meant for transparent textures like gras, bushes, fences and so on...and it doesn´t work this way :/
I don't know anything about hardware level graphics programming, but I'd imagine the video card can't force the feature without it being implemented in the game engine. Say you have hardware level code that does shape detection, if the engine doesn't tell it that an object is a shape (or, if there are no 'shapes' in the engine at all), that shape detection will do nothing. The 'force' part just means that, no matter what cvars you have set in ET, the video card will use what's set in the drivers.
I see your point, but you can force things like anisotropic filtering and antialiasing in older games for example and they will work in general. I don´t know much about graphics coding too :/
Well, I hope some geek who is into that stuff will reply :)
I used to have a 6600 GT and I could never get it to work in ET(Transparency AA), it would have been unplayable anyways though. Same thing for my dad's 7600 GT.
I have an ATI HD 4670 now and adaptive AA works, but you have to say bye to your fps in certain places if you use it and it messes up the text at low resolution.
EDIT: Adaptive AA is ATI's equivalent to Transparency AA

Everything works fine (AF/AA and so on) but transparency AA just doesn´t!
