[Commander Zane]

I could ask Woolie to try this out with his Wings craft.

Edit: The new Nightly has this built-in so I tried a quick level using the HEF Blizzard, and the glare doesn't show through the cockpit, like the Raptor image previously posted by Nighteyes.
Though that could be a good thing since the whiteout effect occurs even when the star is completely hidden within the cockpit (As people who've watched MetalDestroyer's videos the Blizzard's cockpit takes up quite a bit of space, this also means that the star doesn't behave how it normally does when an object covers it), if the effect was to do what is intended, the glare would probably end up showing through the cockpit even when it's completely covering up the star.

Actually,

Cockpit Test: http://www.mediafire.com/?y85dgaaioktfz8d

Was this build intended to remove the whiteout effect entirely? This isn't what is used in the new Nightly since that build still has sun whiteout. But neither of these have the glow showing through the cockpit in the way it does with the ships themselves.

You really need to make some adjustments in order to get the most out of this:

[Commander Zane]

can someone test the flares with a cockpit that has glass?

I was pretty certain the Blizzard and Esarai's fighters had visible canopy glass from inside, but I guess not after just trying missions with them placed.
Could try --Steve-O--'s Reaver. If not I'll have to go back to asking Woolie Wool like I normally planned.

Edit: No dice on any ships with glass from the inside (Though the Reaver's cockpit texture is nice, I hope the other FTF / UEF ships get redone cockpit textures too)
But that's unrelated.

All in all, no luck with the effects working as intended with ship cockpits.

Also, nice screens DaBrain.

[Valathil]

Can somebody give me something with a friggin cockpit remote testing is major pain in the ass

[Commander Zane]

If I can get Woolie to respond on MSN I'll see if he'll let you borrow the Peregrine, it's a Wings fighter with a cockpit and canopy glass you can see from inside.
This is the only lead I have, I don't know any other ships that fit the criteria.

[Valathil]

Yeah I'll borrow a data file. Ill even send it back when im done ok

[Woolie Wool]

tested and the problem is still there... I'll also say that the cockpit in the screenshot has no glass, so it cant be because of that.
the flares work with full nebula(with no cockpit)
can someone test the flares with a cockpit that has glass?

I did. Cockpit glass prevents not only the glow being drawn over geometry, it also blocks the lens flare and the screen brightening when you look at the sun.


There are actually three layers of glass here, the canopy and two HUD panes. Notice that none of the effects associated with looking at the sun are present.



Contrast to an exterior view, where the glow is drawn over the fighter as intended.

[Valathil]

Sometimes i surprise myself

Build: http://www.mediafire.com/?57i8l2mppn5dww3 (Theres some transparency fix code in there so dont be surprised if some things with -trans dont work correctly)

Patch: http://www.mediafire.com/?nw62gop2nfdo55d (This is clean)

[DaBrain]

That looks freaking amazing. Am I seeing things or does it already fade in and out a bit?

[Commander Zane]

Oh wow. That is sweet.

Good god the irony.

With this new build I get the problems you had in the previous build.
Glass doesn't render from the inside no matter what I fly so that's why it's not there.

[Valathil]

(Theres some transparency fix code in there so dont be surprised if some things with -trans dont work correctly)

Zane that is probably why the glass doesnt render try to get someone to build you a clean build. and if my screwed up glass code puts the glass in front of the solid polys you get shinethrough

[The E]

As requested by Valathil, here's another build with the code changes. Please test it out.

[Talon 1024]

Gameplay seems to be abnormally laggy for me, and I'm also getting a lot of these during gameplay in fs2_open.log:

OpenGL Error from start of tcache_set(): invalid value

EDIT: Log attached.

Glass doesn't render from the inside no matter what I fly so that's why it's not there.

IIRC, that's how it's supposed to work (and how it used to work). It's great that this had finally been fixed, as glass rendering from the inside made Mediavps fighters (especially those with orange glass) unflyable with cockpits. Getting around this problem required an ugly hack.

It's even Nightlies that it happens, though you have screens and Woolie has videos showing glass inside. It shows on the outside at least but not from inside.

wtf there's stuff on this that I removed from the mvps_3612 folder that it's *****ing about. Oh the cache folder, whoops.
Well it didn't render glass from inside the cockpit and the sun glare still showed through the dash when completely covered, just like on the previous screen.

And yes, even for a Debug build my framerate was a hell of a lot lower than it usually is.

Gameplay seems to be abnormally laggy for me, and I'm also getting a lot of these during gameplay in fs2_open.log:

OpenGL Error from start of tcache_set(): invalid value

EDIT: Log attached.

This was actually a bug in the Distortion Thruster code but is fixed as of revision 7629

Regarding the sun thing i have one last test build. if that doesnt work you have to give me the cockpit model to test cause i really think its an issue with your model. it works perfectly fine on the test model i have and there is no NVIDIA/ATI stuff happening here just pure c++ code so it has to be the model

latest test build is working, somewhat... the cockpit reacts to the sun, but its as if there are collision holes and in some places the flare would show through the model, again this cockpit has no glass.

works good:


move a bit to the right, and the flare shows through:


same with other parts of the cockpit:

My guess is that it goes right through backfacking polygons.

I'm pretty sure this is a well optimized mesh, so the other side of the mesh is probably open.

Can you fraps that i need to see it animated. i can you tell me if you use any -trans textures in this model. And are you using flat polies without textures perchance somewhere?

Still no dice on the FS2 fighters with show_ship. Given their quality isn't like the Raptor shown above or Wings fighters I could live without the flag enabled, but come War in Heaven R2 I'd certainly use it for UEF fighters.
