Hmm. Is it just me, or does this look better than the shinemaps in OpenGL somehow?

Hopefully.  OpenGL will get shaders at some point as well so it wouldn't surprise me a bit if this rendered a bit better and faster.  In fact I hope it looks much better since that will make it worth the extra effort it will take to get a good solution implemented.

now, actually put it in, instead of just hacking, like you did with shadows

[Bobboau]

this was a hack implementation too, I mearly intend on getting what's broken fixed, so if it a bit hack I think it's ok, hopefuly the current rendering system will be rebuilt soon.

The shine mapping looks fantastic, with this build. Too bad it's not merged with the Realistic Light Model code... (or is it?)

im on a radeon 9000 and all i get are textures that rapidly blink to transparency,

one last thing I'm wondering about are there any perfomence changes, I actualy expect this to run quite a bit faster that the 'normal' builds as it's doing everything in one rendering pass

I got a pretty serious perfomance drop, especially when the interlaced squares (nebula bgs) were in view - down to 10 FPS, even though, using the PCX nebulae and Goobs last super secret build, I was averaging around 70. I'm using a Radeon 9200 btw.

I have to try this soon.

ignore the messed up backgrounds, make a test mission with just ships in it.

I just moved that code back into the backup, I need to finish what I had already started on before moveing on to this

radeon 9000, and kudos to you guys for making this work
