Well here it is, the long awaited public test build.

Windows build
Source tarball

Normal map test pack (required if you want to try out normal maps for FS2 ships)

This is a pre-commit build for my Xt tree that has been in heavy development all year.  All of the changes included in this build are intended for 3.6.10.


Here is a basic rundown of what you can expect:

• New FS2NetD code:  The new FS2NetD code should fix a TON of bugs in the old code, plus just work better overall.  It is, however, incompatible will the old code.  So, anyone playing multiplayer will need to make sure that everyone involved is using this build in order for the games to show up.
  
  
• Command line option changes:  The -2d_poof option has been removed.  The code will just default to this now, plus a few additional fixes should make neb poofs blend a little better.  New options include -normal, -height and -no_glsl.  If you have the extra VP, and if your video card and drivers support it, GLSL will be enabled by default.  Only when GLSL is enabled will the -normal and -height options do anything.  The -normal option will enable normal maps, and the -height option will enable height maps for use with parallax mapping (-height requires -normal in order to function).  If for some reason you have crashes on startup, or bad rendering problems, you can try to disable GLSL support with the -no_glsl troubleshooting option.
  
  
• Initial shader support:  Preliminary shader support is now included, but this isn't what will eventually be in 3.7.  This code is really only for testing purposes, and for modders and developers to get comfortable with what will be required for this support in future builds (3.7+).  Right now it only has the ability to replicate the old rendering capabilities, but with a few minor extras that shaders provide.  The primary light in a scene (ie, the sun) will be per-pixel, with 7 additional per-vertex lights being used.  In other words, there is currently a restriction of 8 lights per-object at the same time per frame.  Shaders also provide greater lighting and blending capabilities.  Fogging should be improved overall, and all possible map and lighting options are now available in fog missions (which wasn't previously possible).  Envmaps now have a slight blur to them to help things look better.  Also, as most everyone knows by now, we have working normal mapping and parallax mapping support.
  
  
• Improved ships lab (F3 screen):  The interface and capabilities have been improved to make it far more useful.  Among the basic interface changes, when viewing a model you will now see the current FPS in the lower left-hand corner, and the current model filename in the lower right-hand corner.  You can now disable individual textures on a ship, see what thrusters would look like on it, see insignia graphics, preview damage and emp lightning effects, and have rotating subobjects, plus you now have the ability to zoom in/out and pan a model around the screen.  For the insignia, enable it in the render options and hit the "/" key to cycle between all available images (obviously this works only if the ship has insignia support).  For lightning effects, enable via the render options window, then hit the "L" key to toggle between the damage and emp variants.  For zooming, use the right mouse button and drag the mouse up/down to zoom in/out.  To pan, hold down the SHIFT key will dragging with the left mouse button.
  
  
• Changes to envmap support:  Unlike previous versions, the envmap render-targets are created and destroyed with the mission in use.  This is done to save valuable video card resources, since it will only maintain what you need for the mission.  The downside of this change is that you will no longer get the same envmap from a mission when viewing in the lab or techroom.  Instead it will return to using the default envmap, if one exists, when in those locations.  Another change brings better dynamic envmap support.  Rather than just being dynamic when you are in a subspace mission, it will now properly handle changes to background nebula, addition or removal of suns, and moving to/from fullneb missions.
  
  
• Plus bunches and bunches of bug fixes and performance optimizations (and probably a few new bugs that I haven't had a chance to fix yet)

We need a bowing smilie.

Will the new test shaders do anything with subspace vortexes?

[Hades]

I am getting a 404 on the Normal map test pack.

[Cobra]

Me too. Could you provide a screenshot of ships with normal mapping?

What would the system requirements be for such graphics, though?

I think it might be corrupt.

Redownload it?

Nope, at least not until 3.7.

Strange.  I tested the link before I posted the new thread, and it worked fine at that point, but the file is definitely missing now.  I'm uploading it again right now, so wait about 45 minutes and try again.

You need GLSL support, and if you've got that then you have the required hardware at least.

GeForce NX7300LE?

[Hades]

Hey Taylor, can you put a 7-zip up as well?

[Herra Tohtori]

Regarding GLSL support, I found this tidbit of information - can't wager it's accuracy but what the hell:

GLSL is a video driver feature that depends on pixel shaders.

The following ATI and nVidia cards have pixel shaders:
- Any GeForce with a number 5000 or higher.
- Any Radeon with a number 9500 or higher.
- Any Radeon with an "X" in the name (e.g. X850)

But not only do you need one of these cards, but you need new enough drivers to have GLSL. This means 10.4 for Mac users and probably a driver update on Windows.

Hope this helps.

At any rate, awesome...

EDIT:

The build is a bit unstable... it crashes if I fly too close to the GVD Psamtik, or perhaps when the Belisarius explodes.

That said, the graphics do look awesome and don't really seem to hurt the performance at all on my rig (well, at least in the first FS2 campaign mission...) - apart from the obvious crashing, which might be related to something else as well... Hm, is it okay to post screenies here or should I take them to the Celebration et al thread(s)?

[taylor]

Hey Taylor, can you put a 7-zip up as well?

Nope.  I hate uploading things.   

[Admiral Nelson]

Thanks very much for all of the work that must have gone into this.

A question:  Is there any issue with alpha env maps in this build?  The Aeolus seems to be back to the saran wrap look.  I haven't observed an effect so extreme on other ships, however.

Nope, I only released it after all known code bugs had been squashed.

But, there may be some video card/driver issue at work here.  What video card and driver version are you using now?

[Admiral Nelson]

8800 GTX with 163.69 drivers.

Thanks again.

[taylor]

The build is a bit unstable... it crashes if I fly too close to the GVD Psamtik, or perhaps when the Belisarius explodes.

Hmm... yep, looks like you found a bug in some code that I added at the last minute for Vasudan Admiral.  It got through my tests, but obviously I wasn't thorough enough.

I'll try and get that fixed and the build updated in a few minutes.

Might be best to start a new thread, a "Celebration: Part 2" type of thing.

[taylor]

Ok, the build has now been updated with the crash fix that Herra Tohtori found.  Everyone should download the binary again since it's a general problem and will affect everyone.

8800 GTX with 163.69 drivers.

Using Vista?  There have been known issues discovered so far during testing, particularly with certain NVIDIA drivers.  I don't remember anything specific to what you've got though.  You could try going with updated/beta drivers, or back to an older version, and see if it makes a difference.  Or, you could just disable envmaps for now and, if that's the only problem you see, simply wait for a new driver to come out.

[Cobra]

Hum. The normal maps don't seem to be working.

Ok, the build has now been updated with the crash fix that Herra Tohtori found.  Everyone should download the binary again since it's a general problem and will affect everyone.

Oh Thank God, I had the same problem in the same mission and I thought my card did not have GLSL support. Now after seeing that it was just a bug, I can relax now.

Using Vista?  There have been known issues discovered so far during testing, particularly with certain NVIDIA drivers.  I don't remember anything specific to what you've got though.  You could try going with updated/beta drivers, or back to an older version, and see if it makes a difference.  Or, you could just disable envmaps for now and, if that's the only problem you see, simply wait for a new driver to come out.

Yes, Vista, but this actually seems to be a file problem on my part and not a bug.  Sorry for the confusion.  I do see the bump maps quite clearly on, for instance, the Ulysses.

You can check the debug log to make sure that it's using GLSL.  Or, a perhaps quicker method, go into the lab and look in the render options window for "Fixed Render Pipeline".  That option only shows up if GLSL is active, being there for testing purposes, for switching between the new programmable render pipeline and the old fixed render pipeline.

Another point to be made though, since I forgot about this until now, is that the test VP I posted is compatible only with non-beta MediaVPs.  DaBrain's beta VPs use different filenames, and I only included files which are compatible will previous MediaVPs and my personal VPs (for the few people that have those).
