I have noticed that in some houses my mirrors don't reflect- especially if they are up against an wall i put in. on a regular wall they reflect. I am using a sumac mirrored platform on some tiles i placed to create a subfloor in a prestige house - the secluded sanctuary. it isn't reflecting- it looks like a pool of black. i tried raising it, and nothing. i tried putting a light source near it- still nothing. any suggestions?
could it be the type of prestige house? i took one and put it on the floor and it still didn't reflect. funny- when i put one in my dungeon maker dungeon it reflected beautifully
Well, for my avatars, they cannot see in mirrors either. This is black due to the fact that I have several parts of my option settings lowered (video parts, like shadows, water, reflections, etc) These can simply be modified in your Settings, in game, by selecting (usually) Alt+O for the options menu, then rummaging through the visuals there. Good luck... If I knew that menu off by heart, I would help further, but I do not.
thanks much- i found that there was a button under options in the advanced called reflections- i turned it on and voila- i could now see them.
Yeah, when you hit the big main Performance button, it actually does control a lot of the more specific areas, such as Personal Torches, Mirror or Water Reflections, etc. I run on Custom, since I usually start with mine just one up from Extreme Performance, but I also want one Personal Torch, Reflections, my Mount to show up, etc. :-/ I don't even try to bother with Shadows, a lot of Particle Effects (no "splashes" when I'm in water), Flora, etc.; I agree with Cloudrat entirely in that Flora seems to be more trouble than it's worth...you can't find the glowies then! =8-0 Uwk
yes i always turn off flora. and i don't like shadows much. i tend to just run what i need and nothing else unless i am doing screenshots. i have a lot of crashes and my toons like to run off so i usually go with the lowest settings that still give me everything i want
