i just wanted to say that because this effect is a postprocessing effect it does not matter how much there is going on on the screen it always takes the same amount of processing power every frame to do it

Some moderator should rename the thread. "Something I have been working on" is anything but descriptive, specially considering the author who is apparently trolling the entire engine to work under 6 fps...

It should be renamed to "The Crepuscular Rays of DOOM that will kill your Comp."

Hmm, does anyone here play Descent / Descent II via D2X-XL?  You ever try putting all the settings to the max??  That thing can make a system crawl... Anyone ever get it working @ max settings with their rig?

I'd try it with my current rig but transparency and a bunch of other things in the engine have been broken for a long time and Diedel seems to be not particularly inclined to fix them to the point where the engine is even playable.

I'd also like to say that cockpit is several shades of awesome.

This outta make things a bit bit easier when trying to find foes who dive across the sun. Nice work Valathil.

I prefer the term Volumetrics myself, but only because my twisted mind always reads Crepuscular as Craptacular, though that's certainly not a reflection on what Valathil is achieving, which looks awesome

It seems the sun's halo is interfering very strangely with the rays, like overlapping them in a manner that it seems it shouldn't.

OOOK Guys TESTBUILD TIIIIIIIIIME

.patch file included for coders, normal people dont need to worry about that.

post_processing.tbl is included in folder structure so the light shafts are always enabled. You can turn them off though in the file and turn them on a mission basis with the set-post-effect sexp. If your computer cant handle them theres also a cmdline called -flightshaftsoff for force light shafts off.

All I get is a 1.7MB .php file.

Is it normal that post processing tbl is ignored ? I have several effects set to true but, none of those effects where active.
Also, in-game cutscene doesn't work well with your build. It's like there is a black layer on top of the screen or white if there is an explosion.

Just rename it to a .rar file and it will open.

theres a cmdline flag to enable postprocessing have you enabled that in the launcher?

[Crybertrance]

Good Work  Really good effect when it comes to missions in a light nebulae or even atmospheric missions. Can the effect be controlled to be more dense and less dense in some areas of the map based on sexp?

Also, does the build have shadows, cause I cant see any...

Again, Great work..

Yes, here the the cmdlines I use

-ambient_factor 100 -no_emissive_light -fov 0.88 -ogl_spec 90 -height -normal -spec_exp 5 -spec_point 2.0 -spec_static 1.25 -spec_tube 1.5  -post_process  -bloom_intensity 70 -fxaa_preset 9

Edit: Nevermind, there were some incorrect values in the post_prossing.tbl. All works like a charm except for cutscene.

no

[Fineus]

Working fine for me, Valathil. Keep up the stunning work

[Spoon]

So I can't help but notice a *slight* increase of firing rates with this build...
