(Bi/tri)linear texture filter causes translucent weap bottom

[Zodomaniac]

(Bi/tri)linear texture filter treats the bottom pixel line of weapon sprite as transparent, though graphic editors reveal that it is not, and this doesn't happen without texture filtering.
So one has to play either with no texture filtering and jagged graphics, or cope with bright environment graphics and effects flashing through the weapon.
The screens were made when standing on pentagrams in Doom Slayer Chronicles https://www.moddb.com/mods/doom-slayer-chronicles

Is this the original weapon sprites or some modifications that are not easily recognizable on a screenshot?

Perhaps the weapon sprite is rendered using wrapping UV mode, so it's blending the bottom texels with the transparent top and getting killed by alpha-testing?

[Graf Zahl]

That shouldn't be. I already shift this down by one pixel to avoid artifacts. That's why I was asking. This may also be screen resolution dependent.

Those are the original, IWAD weapon sprites, the screen resolution is 1920x1080 fullscreen.
Graf, where have you introduced this 1 pixel downshift? I'm still using the 3.5.1 release, maybe that's why.

[Zodomaniac]

At which point have you made this shift 1 pixel down? I've just discovered GZDoom current version is 3.6.0 while I'm using 3.5.1.

Very long ago. A few years ago there even was a user who was bothered so much by it that he threatened to switch to other ports

[Zodomaniac]

Maybe your change eliminated the pixel gap with disabled texture filter? Because it appears only with texture filter enabled.

As far as i knew that WEAPON_FUDGE_Y thing was only in software. I also think this could be resolution-specific.
That mod is too big for me to download. I wonder if this could be a driver problem.

[Enjay]

Pretty sure I remember that original issue and the fix being implemented. If I'm right, it was indeed a very long time ago.

[Zodomaniac]

Maybe it would make sense to extrapolate the bottom pixel line to the out-of-screen area, so that the texture filter mixes just identical pixels of the bottom line?
Or render the mirrored weapon sprite below the screen for same effect.

All that won't help. The effect comes from adding a transparent outline to sprites to improve texture filtering around their edges. In this case it simply boils down to guesswork to alter this because the texture manager cannot know which edge of a sprite will be aligned to the screen when it gets rendered. It's either completely on or completely off.

Is there an option of disabling this transparent outline of sprites?
