[color=66ff00]Those screenies are all rather awe inspiring. The Arcadia in particular is a beautiful shot. Great work Bob, just brilliant! *passes out from enthusiasm* [/color]

bob this is giving me a bunch of random errors with ogl

it seems like the code is referencing stuff out of bounds.

gr_screen::current_bitmap holds the handle number

it is calculated as (id*MAX_BITMAPS+bitmap_num);

GLOWMAP has 3500 elements 0-3499.

so at the start, we're overwriting data, since id is never less than 0 (1 to 30000), if you try GLOWMAP[gr_screen.current_bitmap], the number is at least 3500, possibly higher.  if the handle is too high, it just returns a junk number then crashes.

I had a buch of errors like that, sometimes a glowmap gets referenced wrongly, I still get it once in a blue moon (very sure it's becase of animations getting loaded into slots once held by another bitmap), I put in some error handeling code, so if the map is out of bounds it just doesn't even try to do anything with it, I have made some improvements to the bitmap loading code so it makes sure that a bitmap's glowmap is always set to -1 when a map is loaded/created/destroied.

I finished the opengl version, it works with single pass texturing, and it is supported on newer graphics cards with an opengl version of >=1.2

They already flicker, I think, according to the amount of damage on the ship.

it would be cool if we could animate the glowmap so that we can have lights that can blink, such as docking bay lights, landing lights and the like. can we use a glowmap with a lower resolution than the texture it is layed over, that way you can have an animated glowmap that doesnt suck up too much memory. you could have several different glow animations for your ship, one for normal, one for dieing, one for emped and other stuff like that.

yes i am, i actually think it could be handeled beter with a pixel shader. i did some shader effects like that under a version of tomaz quake, if you followed quake source code projects.

Sweet!

i thought all that talk about glow points was an attempt at having an engine glow like effect, minus the engines.

though it woulds be good to have them in glowmapping as well, currently only static glowmaps are alowed, but they can be any size you want, higher/lower,
it would be easy to get an animation of the same length as an animated texture. given the way that the glow maps are handeled

Animated glow maps would be excellent...you could make strobe lights, flashing warnings, shifting glows on Shivan vessels... :yes:

couldnt you have the frames interpolated so that you can define a faster animation with 3 or 4 frames?
