#2685: Re: Multitextured Cube and some water effects

by D.plomat on 05/02/2004 22:13, refers to #2684

Looks great... i'd like to test the Linux binary with pleasure :)

I tested it, the texture effect looks pretty great.

On my machine, the game speed slows full down, because of my old radeon 9200 graphic card.
Steini told me thats because this card doesnt support multitexturing...

the water is awesome! could you do that with the water texture or something so that there can be a reflective texture in cube for walls and stuff.

From MitaMAN, The screens look real nice! For screenshot #1, is this something similar to "detail textures" where a "grainy" alpha texture is applied onto the regular textures. I've seen something similar in the modified Quake engine Telejano. It really can add some "depth". Detail textures used in modified Quake did'nt reduce the FPS too much, even on GeForce2 cards. Will you be doing something that will work in Windows or only Linux? Great work!

Do you see the effect?

I kno that you weren't talking to me... but I do see it.

But bumpmaping makes it alot darker, unless that was just your screenshot.

#2694: ..

by >driAn<. on 05/03/2004 17:43

jo, steini's cube is quite a lot darker. Thats because the lighting of the original cube doesnt work fine with my radeon 9200 on linux.
( http://kiney.homelinux.org/sambaweb/ftp/drian/screenie.jpg )

Aard uses glDrawArrays() but this function doesnt regard the alpha value. It tooks the value which is at the moment activ in the graphic card, that might be the reason why the lighting is crappy (check the link on top).
Steini's cube renders it self without glDrawArrays(), the lighting works fine and the screenshots are different in brightness.

Im not sure if i explained it rightly. Steini just told me smth like that :)
I hope i didnt contort anything...

#2695: Protocaul 118?

by e:n:i:g:m:a on 05/03/2004 22:00

Ummm, which version/build/mod of Cube uses Protocaul 118? I've seen a few networked games that kicked me off b/c they were running 118, and I had 120.

#2696: Re: ..

by dcp on 05/03/2004 22:06, refers to #2692

oh yes, now i see.

the sorta bumpmapping lookalike that i saw the last 14 hours (playing arx fatalis)! looks nice too.

but the water effect is really incredible.

#2697: Re: ..

by Aardappel on 05/03/2004 22:09, refers to #2694

err... glDrawArrays doesn't disregard anything... all cube's verts have a defined alpha value of 255. Things like these (and the weird blocky lighting) are driver issues.

#2698: Re: Protocaul 118?

by Aardappel on 05/03/2004 22:10, refers to #2695

118 would be the oct 2002 version I think...

#2699: glDrawArrays()

by Steini on 05/03/2004 23:16

Aard, your're right. Normally glDrawArrays() SHOULD handle every value, but there seems to be some OpenGL drivers that don't bother and ignore some values.
I'm not sure but there seems to be problems with the ATI drivers.

Greets,
Steini

Gosh, will the guys at ATI _ever_ be able to come with a decent drivers for their (truly powerful) hardware?

Anyway, next card I buy will be an nVidia one, that's for sure.

#2702: ..

by >driAn<. on 05/04/2004 18:49

Is it possible to fix that for a later cube release or can just the 'ati driver coders' fix that?

by e:n:i:g:m:a on 05/04/2004 19:01

Ugh, I've neaver liked nVidia cards...

I got an nVidia 440 MX GeForce 2 or 4 or something like that and every time it got to somewhere where the framerate would slow down, it would just quit and hang my system. I've never really liked nVidia after that. ATI just isn't as "Big" as nVidia. That's why they don't have any good linux drivers.

Hey, someone should port the Omega drivers to linux! that might be better actually. As long as the Omega drivers are opensource...

#2704: GameBlender.org is back online.

by Pxtl on 05/04/2004 20:21

The Blender gaming engine has restarted, making an interesting encursion into the open-source world. A popular, full 3d editor with a robust physics system is now also a 3d gaming engine. One wonders what will come of this.
