Is there a command to disable NormalSpecular maps in GzDoom?

[Guest]

Hey all!

I'm working on a standalone game that runs on the GzDoom engine. After working on it for 1,5 years, I decided to take a look at normal/specular mapping to see if it adds anything to the atmosphere of the game. And sending a version with specular maps to my playtesters, the results were somewhat mixed. One half loved it while the other half thought it took ruined the old-skool look and feel of the game.

Now I know that you can simply disable it by removing the file that has the definitions, but is there an ingame way to do it? Is there a cvar I can add to the options menu that disables this? Perhaps through a console command? I tried to look up the GL_ commands but I couldnt find anything related to normal/specular mapping. So perhaps i'm missing something?

Help is appreciated!

I'm afraid there is no such setting currently.

Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong, but this isn't as easy as plugging in a CVar check in ApplyNormalMap (or whatever it's called; I forget) in main.fp because... user materials have made it possible to apply completely custom normal mapping shaders. Right?

That is correct.
