Sorry.

I meant to say "post 3.6".  

aldo is correct on the implementation, although that will be tweaked a bit from the original version.

OMG! That's fcking beautifull!

It would be great to add this to the SCP after 3.6, were you still planning on going for a low-drain version and a pixel-shader version?

[Rictor]

I don't mean to nag, but whats the approximate release date for 3.6? I mean very approximate, like within 3 or 4 months.

And yeah, the bloom or overexpose effect looks awesome. Prince of Persia had it, and so did Beyond Good and Evil. Very swanky stuff.


Regarding per pixel lighting, as someone said Tenebrae has it and thats wroking off the Quake 1 engine. Some of the newer screenshots look totally amazing, Doom 3 quality. I think they're moving the project to the Quake 3 engine now, and it going to be a standalone for Tenebrae 2.0. If we could get that in, it would make as much difference as did the shinemaps (read: tons), perhaps more.

nar they still use the quake 1, tenebrae 2 uses quake 3 bsps its not compatable with the q3 orginal stuff tho. Its www.tenebrae2.com. It dose look pretty good, especially with some levels made with tenebrae in mind and high res textures.

Per-pixel lighting is not dependent on the architecture of the game engine. It is dependent on the architecture of the graphics API (DirectX, OpenGL). To utilize (decent) per-pixel lighting in FSOpen, the DX API would need to be converted to use DirectX 9. In OpenGL, it's slightly easier, as only the shader fragment extensions need to be implemented, AFAIK.

The other side of this story is the simple fact that most users' graphics cards do not support pixel shaders greater than 1.4 right now.

Do it anyway just to spite him.

I'll give you a dollar or something.

Does indeed

[Bobboau]

he's worried that upgradeing will cause our current slowdowns regarding rendering lots of small things (as opposed to rendering a few big things) to get worse. and pissing off RT is one thing I am dead set against doing, he is probly the best coder on the team, all the stuff I've done is mearly an extention of his hard work.

though from what I've read his concerns are nothing to worry about, there doesn't seem to be any signifagant added overhead in DX9, but anyway it's something that would have to wait untill after 3.6.

all the upgrade would likely be is changeing a whole bunch of 8s to 9s and makeing a few changes to the initalisation code, it isn't anywere near as signifigant as the DX8 conversion was (wich is actualy still ongoing)

[Lightspeed]

if you want this game to have a future: focus on multiplayer first.

[phreak]

kazan is going to kill you now.  i doubt he'll think twice before doing so

[Corhellion]

omg!

I've never seen Q1 look...so...wow...If they can do that with the Q1 engine, you guys could pretty much do ANYTHING with the FS2 engine.

Keep up the Excellent work.

*waits for 3.6*

yeah, I'm dead set against pissing off Kazan too, unless I'm wearing asbesdose lined medevil armor.
