[Code] Wall and Floor Brightmaps

Post by Enjay »

I posted about these over at the GZdoom forum, but it makes sense to post them here too. Inspired by something that Logan showed me, I decided to learn a bit more about brightmaps and, as a result, I extracted all the textures from Doom and Doom2 that I thought might look reasonable with brightmaps and made brightmaps for them. Some of this was a judgement call on my behalf - eg, I decided that nukage should be bright but that blood shouldn't.

Now, these were done fairly quickly, so there is definitely room for improvement, and they can also cause effects that might be undesired - for example, a light texture in a flashing sector will always remain bright even if the sector has gone dark. However, they are a bit of fun to play around with so feel free to download them and do with them whatever you wish.

There are enough differences between Doom and Doom2 to justify 2 different brightmaps packs so here they are:

Doom
http://www.zen64060.zen.co.uk/examples/d1brightmaps.zip (215 kb)

Doom2
http://www.zen64060.zen.co.uk/examples/d2brightmaps.zip (246 kb)

Each zip contains a pk3 which is the brightmaps and, if you want to quickly check them out, there is also a WAD in each zip which is nothing more than a very simple level with all the affected textures/flats for that game.

They require GZdoom and for brightmaps to be enabled in the shaders menu.

It's great, but unfortunately doesn't work with shaders for fog (essential for Doom fog in OpenGL):

Hmm... That's not pretty but it doesn't happen for me. I just tried all combinations of fog and lighting modes with shaders enabled and it looked fine.

I don't know if it will make any difference but NVidia released a new driver yesterday and that's the one I'm using.

My ATI drivers, 9.6, are the latest. I'll try a bunch of things later when I have the time, maybe a fresh INI, try and see what the problem really is...

Looking sexy. I might use it.. :P

Though do brightmaps work on weapons at all (hell, on WADS for that matter)? :?

Yes.

Even on HUD elements, although for those it's irrelevant as they're always fullbright anyway.

It doesn't work on graphics like the menu, titlepic, F1 screen, and so on; but again it'd be irrelevant there.

Nice Enjay :) I've tried this once, but I couldn't get them to work.

And this reminds me, I'd like to try to finally finish the Archvile brightmaps, and maybe the spiders. I guess my old Brightmaps thread should be moved here to the Resources forum.

I should learn Brightmaps, myself. Now I have to decide between using that FreeDoom texture wad and the Doom 2 textures. :lol:

Excellent Brightmaps!

yes they look pretty indeed, Legacy of Suffering does look very good indeed not just for the floor/wall brightmaps but the monster brightmaps where the zombies have glowing eyes :D just gotta love that.

Should these work in Skulltag? Walls seem unchanged and some of the floor brightmaps seem a little off.

well, I would think that they should work but, clearly, something is wrong:

I tried them in the latest Skulltag 97e revision, myself, and they worked fine. However, they won't work online in your skins folder, since GLDefs is a lump that needs authentication (people could use large dynamic lights to cheat).

Aha! I used 97d3-rc2 so that could well be it.

That's pretty out-of-date anyways, if I do say so myself. XD
