Deferred Lighting Open Beta 6 (17/11/12)
Ok so here's my deferred lighting implementation. I included an SSE2 Release build a patch file for the programmers and the required shader files. As usual you need to put them in the data/effects folder of your active mod to make it work. This version also includes Glowpoint lights but you have to modify your POF's to make it work. Example: in the Glowpoint bank properties edit field in addition to $glow_texture=blabla you can now write $glow_radius_multi=(float) which defines the light radius of the glowlights by multiplying each glowpoint radius of the bank by the multiplier and $glow_color=(red),(green),(blue) seperated by semicolons so the full string would look like : "$glow_texture=glow_yellow;$glow_radius_multi=15.2;$glow_color=255,255,0".

Have fun testing and please report all bugs and performance drops.

EDIT: We had a few issues with the Depth Buffer with ATI cards therefore this is now Beta 2 release. Debug build is included this time.

EDIT: New Version look further ahead for link.


EDIT: Finally fixed ATI Artifacts look down for new BETA 4.


EDIT: New Workaround for ATI & NVIDIA compatibilty BETA 5 is released further down.

EDIT: Shadows & Deferred Combined Build now available! BETA 6 IS OUT!

Re: Deferred Lighting Open Beta 1
Here is an example Karuna pof with altered glowpoint properties for glowpoint lighting. Keep in mind that this pof will NOT work on any build that does not have glowpoint lighting. Don't let it hanging where it doesn't belong, like for example your BP2 folder.

It seems that the lighting doesn't follow the glowpoint itself when the glowpoint is attached to a rotating subsystem.

I tried to keep the effect visible yet subtle, in order to avoid what I call "the christmas tree effect". Will do more pof soon.

Re: Deferred Lighting Open Beta 1
i think it follows in mission but not in lab. Cause lab has its own weird rotation code.

And Kobrar44 if you can fly through ships theres something really wrong cause i didnt change the collision code in the slightest.

I posted this on the main post as well but there is a new Beta out that fixes the ATI problems http://www.mediafire.com/?um9c1ukpq6684u6

  • What?
Re: Deferred Lighting Open Beta 2
So... I has question.

Although this is incredible, it may create some minor issues. Now obviously this doesnt force anyone to use glowpoints to make their lighting, but being able to cast glows on fighters as they fly through, say, the trenches of the Sathanas would be awesome,but here's the issue: The (unreleased...) sath already has baked glows all over it, and they look good. If I add glow points to the baked glow areas, then ships flying by would get a red glow on them, but it would also create a red glow along with the already baked red glows present, which could look wierd.

So the question: Is it possible to add a property or flag of some sort where the glow point would not light the ship it is attatched to? This way I can add the glow points to the sath without effecting its rather carefully orchestrated glow map, and still light up ships that pass by.

integrating the shaders into the exe pokes holes in the whole reasoning for having shaders in the first place. having them outside the engine gives you the freedom to change the rendering styles within some degree. provided you are a graphics wizzard.

the shaders are integrated into the exe for one simple reason. if you just run the binary with no mediavps and no mods it wouldn't work if there wouldn't be fallback integrated shaders.

It's a lot more complex than that. We're at a point where the gap between shaders and the EXE graphics code is becoming ever increasingly smaller. As the EXE begins to rely more and more upon shaders to do some really key calculations, the graphics code needs to be guaranteed that the shader code is doing what it should be doing. If submodel vertices are expected to be calculated on the vertex shader that needs to happen or else models will look wrong. If we're handing a bunch of g-buffers to the pixel shader, it needs to use that or else you won't get proper lighting. If we ever implement instancing, the shader needs to know about the per-instance data and the instanceID handed in by the OpenGL driver.

As me, Valathil, and everybody else who works on the graphics code continues to make progress on graphics features, we need to reserve the right to provide a baseline shader. And we'll do that by integrating the shader with the exe.

Will this change the FSO hardware requirements (namely supported OpenGL versions)?

but these are fallback shaders, correct? external shaders take precedence?

im more intrested in the nuances of working without a fixed function pipeline, not for fs2 but for my other gl projects. so far ive mosly limited myself to fixed function pipelines in old skool gl. i havent ventured into shader land yet (probibly have to write a bunch of other code first, my c++ engine is still line drawn and needs a texture framework/loader and a better model parser, and my lua engine has all that but is limited to opengl 1.3 thanks to the luagl module im using).

Re: Deferred Lighting Open Beta 2
Yes. The built-in shaders are loaded only when no external shaders can be found (although in the case of things like the video format conversion shader, there are no plans to ever make them editable).

Gave it a brief look, the weapon flyby lighting effects are neat
And once a capital ship jumps in, the whole area is basked in an eerie blue glow.

Havent looked at anything with glowpoints so far.

This is so awesome! is there an option to control how strong the light is? seems strange that the lasers create an intense light reflection as beams...
does this mean missile explosions and flak will now have lighting turned on for them? Diaspora flak field would look amazing with this...

If you set laser color to be sth like 32 00 00, you'll get little light. I guess thats how it works.
