INFORMATION BECOMES USEFUL AFTER THIS POINT

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

another ini tweak I found while tweakin', this one increases the strength of the effect of the normal map on all ground surfaces game-wide, resulting in more physically textured dirt, snow, sand, mountains, etc.

Please enjoy the image tab for a better sense of what this tweak does.

CAVEATS/CUSTOMIZATION:

My recommended value for texture lovers is 5, the default being 1.

You can keep raising this value. However past 5 it tends to start looking wonky on some surfaces, and then eventually all surfaces.

Even at 5 the most extreme ground normals in the game may look slightly off as they're being pushed farther than they should be (if you know how normals work I'm sure you understand).

So my advice, if you would like the advice of a chud like me, is, if you're a someone who is scared easily of too much texture, use a value of 2 or 3. These both result in noticeable differences, and really 2 should be the absolute minimum, the default of 1 is JUST TOO SMOOTH.
