#12278: Distortion Effect

by robin1337 on 06/16/2009 20:54

Hello there.
I love distortion effects over heat sources, eg. fire. In Crysis or CoD 4 are heat distortion/haze effects well shown, and now I've wanted to code something similar at Sauerbraten. My idea was to edit the particle smoke (no. 12),to a distortion particle system, which uses a normalmap to distort the view.
But now to my question: How can I use this normalmap to distort the view? Yet I've got a particle system which shows the normalmap as a colortexture. My plan was to put such particles above normal fire particles (no. 0).

Here's what I've got:

#12280: Body Fading

by Joeschmoemama on 06/16/2009 23:06

Hello. I\'m new here, so please forgive me if I\'m asking a dumb question. I\'m a bit sadistic, so I like my battlefields littered with bodies (like Halo). How do I turn off the body-melts-into-the-ground effect? If I do, will it slow everything down considerably. Thanks.

read framebuffer as texture, apply shader and draw distorted result back to screen. I've actually experimented ages ago - but it seemed a potential performance sink for little visual gain imho.

PS those image links seem broken...

#12282: Normal maps from Blender inverted in Cube2

by Osbios on 06/17/2009 12:22

@robin1337: Your links to you images don't work!


I have a problem with normal maps from blender on my map models. It seems that there are inverted.
Every thing that was going out, is now going in and visa versa.
How do I have to edit the normal map images to get this right?

I found how to correct the normal map. Inverting red does the job. :)

#12289: Game sort order

by OldPlayer on 06/19/2009 23:08

Hi guys,

I like your game for many many reasons. Really. But recently the online game sort oder change. Now the number of player seems to be the sort order key. Unfortunately this results in very slow games with more than one second pings. You game is losing its interest if it keeps on being slow for most players. Ask me a screenshot if you want any proof of terribles player pings.
Please increase the ping weight in multiplayer game sort order.

Regards,

Denis

#12290: rpg

by DrUber on 06/20/2009 00:31

Just to make sure, is it correct for me to assume that the rpg portion of the game doesn't save and as such the player would have to start all over again?

As of Trooper edition, there is no RPG portion.

#12296: Having different player model in multiplayer

by SL on 06/21/2009 17:56

I´m a professor at a university dictating a 3D course, and I used the engine last season.My students put their designed models in the game. What we couldn´t do was to play over the network due to two reasons:
-The same player model appeared in the game
-The were only three player models available
Can someone tell if I am right, or where to look for more information.
BTW. I work at a third-going-to-fourth-world university....

#12297: Re: Having different player model in multiplayer

by tentus_ on 06/21/2009 21:35, refers to #12296

If I remember correctly, there is support for 2 different player models being shown in the latest release. I think you can force it back to one if there is a performance problem.

And yes, there are 3 player models. Try and talk your students into making more... they might enjoy it! Can't hurt to try.
