I fired up Bodyshop and didn't see the writing on the wall - well shirt any way. Then I hit F3 and moved the camera angle to the side (the light isn't as bright on the side) and low and behold there is the writing. When I turn the camera full front (the brightest light) it disappeared. Now where's the switch on that Hollagen flood lamp in Bodyshop?

With this, it worked, and absolutely no cheats changes to the game files was needed. However, I've just installed a couple of ep's (including freetime), and now it works out of the box, without the ati tray tools override. It probably works with earlier ep's too, I have no idea exactly when it was "fixed". Thanks to HystericalParoxysm and previous posters in this thread.

Then I tried to put the cheats in the userstartup file and voila! my game is bump mapped. Thanks to everyone who posted! PS. I'm using Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family. (I bet my game's quality is getting really slow and fuzzy) :S

I have the same problem with the bright lighting in Bodyshop. Can anyone tell us why this is?

Try changing your brightness/ contrast.

It looks almost certain they do, as BodyShop was never that bright. My original hack had three brightness levels, use a lower one.

If you like to say what you think, be sure you know which to do first.

isa_love_anime Lab Assistant Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 154	Yeah, the same thing happened to me. Nothing appeared, not the bump map and neither the error message o.o Maybe you have to change the settings in the EP config files, as someone said here?

jdenm8 Test Subject Join Date: Dec 2008 Posts: 14 Thanks: 58 in 6 Posts 2 Achievements	I don't know if anybody still follows this thread but here I go. I have an ATI Radeon HD 3200 laptop graphics card with 1408Mb of Hyper Memory (aka system memory stealing. System has 4Gb). Bumpmaps work in Bodyshop (as depicted on outfit provided in post #1) but are omionously absent in-game. Any suggestions?
