Amazing!

It work very well and I didn't notice any frame drop.

The shield effects bloom. Nice!

Helps with the explosion intersections as well.

My only complaint is that the red shivan glow elements aren't bright enough to bloom.
Maybe extreme colors (~255,0,0) should bloom as well, if that is possible.

Will we later be able to set post processing effects on a per-mission basis?

In the nebula missions, I only see the engine glows and afterburner trails from shivan ships. Also, after knocking down the shields, both primaries and secondaries pass through with no effect. Other than that, things seem stable and smooth.

Sorry if these questions irritates, but can someone tell me how to adjust bloom settings? What settings do others like?

This is looking better and better.

Bloom is all wanted. Since I first played supreme commander I thought, this is needed in the SCP. Only ting ting is motion blur appears to kill my frame rate. Might be because I use it with bloom as well but I'll need to tweak the balance for my specs. 100 for both may be a tad overkill.

It doesn't work on my Graphics Card :/
ATI Radeon HD 3600, recently updated drivers...

integrated or not?

also, that was present even before. blame ati, not programming

Akshually, yes. The previous post-processing builds had a sexp based timer event for kicking on and cycling through post-processing effects.

Yep, let's blame ATI. It makes our life so much easier.

Commander Zane · **Reply #148 on:** October 12, 2009, 04:10:04 am

Because it's mostly true.

well, its a fact, most pre 4xxx series cards struggle with OpenGL due to not conforming to all the OGL conventions.

not to say they're crappy cards, but in this case the blame is justified. in any case, it can be fixed however, but that really depends on the way the shaders and the underlying code are written.

IOW, Hery needs to know the specific details if he is to fix it for ATi cards.

Hery · **Reply #150 on:** October 12, 2009, 07:25:38 am

It doesn't matter whose fault it is, mine, Ati, the great Cthulhu or anybody else. It just needs to be fixed.
Kiloku: Could you send me your debug log? I can't solve that problem without it since I have no opportunity to run FSO on Ati graphic card.

Something · **Reply #151 on:** October 12, 2009, 07:36:11 am

What about the problem in the nebula I mentions above? Has anyone else gotten that?

Hery · **Reply #152 on:** October 12, 2009, 07:51:58 am

@Something: the problem you reported is very strange. In fact, I weren't able to reproduce it.
Could you give me more information about that?

You can adjust bloom intensity using flag -bloom_intensity X where X is an integer value from 0 to 100 (0 is for no bloom)

@Colonol Dekker: there is no motion blur in the build I posted yesterday.

Something · **Reply #153 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:02:07 am

Terran ships are fine, but as you can see Shivans must of nicked some Klingon cloaking technology.

If you need tech details, how do I go about it? Do I play the level with the debug exe?

Colonol Dekker · **Reply #154 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:25:06 am

I didn't try the recent build. I'm still loving the original. . . Apart from the just mentioned point of balance finding.

Something · **Reply #155 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:38:59 am

Hmm, played the next nebula mission and all seems fine. The ships are there and are destructible now. Never mind then, must be a one mission thing.

Just tell me how I can help you track this one down.

Zacam · **Reply #157 on:** October 12, 2009, 12:44:12 pm

Me too. While I don't have an ATi at the moment, I like keeping on top of these issues.

Also, Hery, I noticed the post shaders using a different ATi ifdef than the unified shaders, should the unified ones use the same or are they okay being seperate?

(I haven't really looked at the function yet, just caught it in a glance through)

Run debug build, try to play a mission, send me debug log, wait for my modifications in shader code, repeat

@Zacam: Unified, post-processing and special shaders don't have much in common, hence they use different ifdefs.

Did you find what's wrong with that clipping issue and the cockpit models?
