1. towards you on the mouse will result in looking up amp vice versa Smooth Mouse Ticking this option will enable the use of mouse filtering which averages out mouse movement which should result in smoother movement of the Mouse I d recommend leaving this Ticked Always Run Configure this setting to your own gameplay preference If you are using a Mouse Which you should be you can find out how to further tweak that device in our Mouse Tweak guide Conclusion Your Medal Of Honor Allied Assault gaming experience should now be greatly improved with better visuals audio amp hopefully minimal performance loss This guide will be updated whenever new patches become available with further information amp expanded sections
2. amp more importantly missing their targets amp should be Unticked with such Graphics cards e g TNT2 This doesn t affect the Static decals option however Weather Effects Ticking this option will enable the rendering of optional weather effects in levels e g rain amp snow These effects add a decent bit of atmosphere to levels which use them amp as such Id recommend leaving this enabled though on more fill rate limited Graphics card you might get a small frame rate improvement by Unticking this option Brightness Use this slider to set the game brightness glare level Sliding the bar to the Right will increase the brightness level amp vice versa The further this is to the Right the more washed out textures may appear Adjust this to suit your own needs Texture Compression Tick this setting to enable the use of texture compression in MOH AA which allows the use of higher resolution compressed textures in the game It is highly recommended that you do this on Graphics cards which support S3TC in OpenGL e g NVIDIA GeForce 1 4 or Kyro 1 2 This can also improve performance though level loading times will be increased as textures must be compressed while loading a level Untick this on Graphics cards which don t support S3TC in OpenGL for both fastest level loading times amp it may also avoid visual corruption View Model This option determines what models of yourself are to be rendered in the game Options available
3. though in large battles it might be wise to lower setting to a less detailed one to keep the frame rate smooth Curve Detail This option determines how rounded the curves of certain objects models are Or aren t e g Some tables amp curvature of a road This is a fairly cosmetic option so if your frame rate isn t too good you won t lose much visual quality by setting this to Lowest or Low those with newer Graphics cards amp or fast CPUs should be able to set this to High without any adverse affects The screenshots further beneath illustrate the effect of this setting at the Lowest amp High options Subtitles Adjust this to your own gameplay preference Console Tick this setting to enable the use of the console in the Game which can be used to enter amp use console commands during the Game some which may not otherwise be available Unticking this will disable the use of the console Static Decals Tick this option to enable the rendering of pre determined decals in the Game i e those put there during the creation of the Map This can enhance the realism of the Game a good amount though on older Graphics cards the frame rate may well be adversely affected by these Unticking this option will disable the rendering of these This doesn t affect the Wall decals option amp is recommended for those with older Graphics cards or low frame rates Real Dynamic Lighting When Unticked the Game will use a fast mode approach to
4. being None Gun Only amp Full Full will enable the rendering of your current weapon amp arm this is the slowest option though shouldn t cause any frame rate problems on any relatively new Graphics cards Gun Only will disable the rendering of your arm which should provide a slight frame rate improvement with older Graphics cards while still making it easy to know what weapon you are currently using Only those with very old Graphics cards Or CPUs should you consider setting this to None which will provide fastest performance though makes it harder to determine the weapon you re using or changing to Shadows This setting defines the LOD Level Of Detail used for shadows cast by Models if any Options available are None Simple amp Complex of which selecting None will provide best performance Simple will enable the rendering of basic circular shadows beneath a model which shouldn t cause a noticeable effect of Game frame rate on all but older Graphics cards Selecting Complex will enable the rendering of more detailed amp realistic shadows though I d not really recommend selecting this unless you have a Graphics card with a T amp L unit amp or the Games frame rate is already running smoothly Terrain Detail This setting controls how detailed the scenery is in the game Selecting a higher detail option will allow the use of increasingly more complex meshes for the landscape which will yield a more realistic appearing terrain b
5. IOS amp or a Graphics Card with 32MB or more of Video memory Texture Color Depth This setting controls the quality of textures used in MOH AA 32 bit will provide best quality for textures used in the game although this will also consume an even greater amount of video memory as a result you shouldn t select this option unless you have a Graphics card with 32MB video memory or greater Or supports AGP Texturing Using 16 bit will provide the best texture quality performance trade off amp will also consume less Video memory as a result Texture Filter Trilinear texture filtering operates by taking 4 samples texels from 2 neighbouring Mipmaps applies a bilinear filter to them amp then interpolates the results This results in improved image quality with more seamless transitions between Mipmap levels amp enhanced texture detail compared to Bilinear filtering Most modern Graphics cards should be able to use Trilinear with little performance problems except for those still unfortunately with 3dfx Graphics cards which should set this to Bilinear for best performance As they cannot simultaneously perform Multi texturing amp Trilinear filtering Wall Decals Ticking this option will enable the rendering of decals on walls caused by weapon fire amp such This can enhance the realism of the Game a good deal though on older Graphics cards the frame rate may well be adversely affected during fights with a lot of weapons being fired
6. MOH AA select Options then the Video button IINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEA Resolution Selecting a lower resolution can improve performance amp maintain a stabler higher frame rate Higher resolutions look better sharper amp smaller jagged edges they also tend to run slower This all depends on how slow fast your system Particularly Graphics card is of course 1024 x 768 would be ideal in MOH AA for most users Color Depth Set this to 16 bit for best performance but reduced visual quality More apparent color banding Select 32 bit for best visual quality Less apparent banding although performance will be reduced especially on older Graphics cards Using a 32 bit colour depth will also reduce rendering errors as it uses a higher Z Buffer precision for performing depth calculations amp those with Kyro 1 2 Graphics cards should leave this set to 32 bit given the negligible performance difference as compared with other Graphics cards Setting this to Default will use the regular Windows desktop colour depth just select an option instead Texture Detail This setting controls the resolution of textures used in the Game Setting this to High will enable the use of sharper more detailed textures although performance can be lowered Especially on low Video memory Graphics Cards The Lower the setting the more blurred level textures will appear If you intend to use High resolution textures be sure you have AGP Texturing enabled in the B
7. Medal of Honor Allied Assault tweak guide Posted on March 21 2002 by Thomas McGuire Medal of Honor Allied Assault MOH AA from now on is a well received World War II first person shooter game If you have played the game before then you know its beautiful graphics can bring even the fastest systems to crawl at some point specially during some of its rather large scale battles This guide will take you through configuring the multitude of options available for the game and other useful information such as getting 3D audio support in the Game Troubleshooting Begin by downloading the latest patch for MOH AA this may resolve many of the bugs or other problems you may have encountered Now download the latest Drivers for your Graphics card amp Soundcard This may solve most Input or Audio problems you might be having Install DirectX 8 1 on your system if you haven t done so yet This may also fix problems with Sound amp Input devices If you experience any lockups amp such they might be caused by overclocking if so try lowering the Memory Core speed of the overclocked device Config File Settings used in the Game are stored in the unnamedsoldier cfg file located in the main configs directory of where MOH AA is installed e g D MOHAA main configs Later on in the Guide P I cover some setting which will required modifying this file To do so simply open it with Notepad or preferably Wordpad Graphics Load

10. dynamic lighting amp is recommended for those with slower CPUs Those on faster systems 800Mhz should Tick this option to enable the use of a more complex dynamic lighting mode which will result in a more realistic application of lighting in a level Full Entity Lighting This option controls the lighting method used on models When Unticked a single light source is used for lighting the entire model which will provide best performance in the game particularly in scenes where many models are visible When Ticked lighting is applied to a model in a more realistic way which will improve visual realism though can reduce the frame rate a good deal on slower systems Those with fairly fast CPUs 800Mhz should be able to Tick this setting with little adverse effect except possibly in larger battles Volumetric Smoke I m not too sure about what the option does as everytime I restart the Game I find it Unticked That said this didn t seem to have any noticeable effect on smoke effects when playing the Game e g smoke after blasts from grenades Weapons Bar Adjust this to your own gameplay preference Crosshair Adjust this to your own gameplay preference The images beneath illustrate the difference between Terrain Detail Model Detail amp Curve Detail or their respective lowest setting versus their respective highest setting Worth paying attention to the facial detail of other soldiers amp the curvature of the road though the Terr
11. k quality without affecting performance too noticeably Those with an ISA Soundcard would perhaps be about the only ones Id recommend setting this to Low As has been discussed on the 3D SoundSurge Forums adding 3D audio support into MOH AA is an easy enough task The simplest way to do this is as follows Download amp install the Miles Sound System Demo from RAD Game Tools noting the directory where it installed Go to the redist win32 directory of where you installed the Miles Sound System Demo e g C Program Files Miles6dm redist win32 amp copy the m3d files located there You can ignore the Mssfast m3d file if you wish however Paste these files into the snddrivers directory of where MOH AA is installed e g D MOHAA snddrivers Now open your Config file amp Add Edit the seta s_milesdrivers x line Where x is to be replaced by one of the following options e Aureal A3D 2 0 TM e Aureal A3D Interactive TM e Creative Labs EAX 2 TM e Creative Labs EAX TM e DirectSound3D Hardware Support e Dolby Surround e Miles Fast 2D Positional Audio The option you should select here should be determined by you based on the Soundcard you have installed Selecting DirectSound3D Hardware Support or Aureal A3D Interactive TM will enable basic 3D positional audio support in Game Those still with Aureal Vortex 2 based Soundcards should select Aureal A3D 2 0 TM for most realistic 3D audio positioning Users of EA
12. ut this will require increasingly higher amount of polygons rendered as a result Using a lower detailed option will use less complex meshes for scenery which will give less detailed scenery shapes although this can improve performance especially if your Graphics card can t handle rendering a high amount of polygons This will have a greater effect in more outdoor levels though Model Detail This option controls the LOD used for models in the Game e g Soldiers Selecting a higher detail option will allow the use of increasingly more complex meshes for these models which will yield a more detailed appearing model but this will require increasingly higher amount of polygons rendered as a result Using a lower detailed option will use less complex meshes for these models which will yield less detailed models being displayed although this can improve performance especially if your Graphics card can t handle rendering a high amount of polygons The effect of this will probably be most noticed in the Omaha Landing or such large scale battles The screenshots further beneath illustrate this setting in action at both Highest amp Lowest Effects Detail This option sets the LOD used for various effects that are rendered in the Game Those of you with older Graphics cards amp or CPU should use a lower setting for this option though those with newer Graphics cards should be able to use a higher value with little adverse effect to the frame rate
