Relighting Doom v3.31b [Updated 4/8/22]

[nooflorist]

this is such an amazing concept. imho it is superior to other relighting projects, because it works with all mods and wads instead of handcrafted lighting projects. downside of course is, that it's very demanding. also larger maps take a while to load.

one suggestion for improvement: these monitors with schematics should emit a light green light.

[DeevDaRabbit]

Could you maybe make a version where it ONLY includes the colored lights and nothing else? I honestly am not fond of how some elevators are totally dark in Freedoom Phase 2.

[Jankman]

Is there a way to have the special effects like reflections and dynamic lights and such without it messing with the sector lighting?
It seems to disable DarkDoomz which I prefer for fine-tuning the light levels.

the author seems to have vanished sadly

[Dan_The_Noob]

this mod would be a great plugin for Doombuilder maybe. the load time of even slightly complex maps makes it a bit hard to recommend outside of vanilla/smaller content.

So I understand the original author seems to be MIA. Still, I'll drop this here for everyone anyway since it'll help anyone else that sees this, might help find a better workaround than 'Just turn off that feature,' and maybe someone down the line that has the know-how (Or the author if they come back) can fix it.

The `Enable Dark Shadows (Beta)` setting creates weird shadow banding and spots of pitch blackness that don't exist with the setting disabled. Disabling Dynamic Lights in GZDoom's settings also seems to fix the banding, but that's not desirable since it also makes flashlight++ and probably other modded and GZDoom functionality break (And I suspect this is because the dark shadows feature is built off or uses dynamic lights).

I'd post multiple screenshots, but apparently, any screenshot I take of the game using ShareX shows the first screenshot taken instead of the different views and angles I attempted to get, so you get 1. Note the band on the ceiling - This line moves as I turn instead of staying in the same spot as a note.

I don't see any bands on the ceiling, and it sounds like you're just describing the software light mode in GZDoom

If I understand what you meant correctly, that's just how the "Dark Shadows" work. It's not very good, sadly.
You can also take screenshots directly from GZDoom instead, those will work correctly, but will have to be uploaded manually.

[Hey Doomer_]

Update is pending with the following: directional floor and wall shadows for sprites (these look great), improved color management (based on the standard Doom palette), vastly improved dynamic sector lighting, greatly improved performance, and on-the-fly configuration. Works with any mod (e.g. DarkDoomZ), any textures (there are no config lumps), any game (e.g. Heretic), and with cvar performance tweaks any hog mod (e.g. Brutal Doom). Just couldn't let it be.

how the heck are those shadows not expensive
