Relighting v4.0165b - blurry shadows w/ rlassets

[Hey Doomer_]

I was using Lt. Typhon, and the map as I said is Vanguard.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Edit
This is the floor reflection tags. Change the hd_postprocessor to look like this:

Code: Select all

		if (rl_CVar.rl_floor_reflections.GetBool())
		{
			for(int i = 0; i < Level.Sectors.Size(); i++)
			{
				Sector sec = Level.Sectors[i];
				int tag = 12500 + int(sec.GetTexture(FLOOR));
				AddSectorTag(i, tag);
				limits.Push(int(sec.LightLevel * rl_CVar.rl_dim_min.GetFloat()));
			}
		}

		for(int i = 0; i < Level.Sectors.Size(); i++)
		{
			Sector sec = Level.Sectors[i];
			limits.Push(int(sec.LightLevel * rl_CVar.rl_dim_min.GetFloat()));
		}

... and then disable reflections. I'll fix this for the next version. Thanks.

Edit
This will be fixed for the next version. Added a sector tag iterator to see if the tag is already used.

Very cool mod!

Thanks! See above posts regarding the floor reflection bug. Maybe one of those fixes will do the trick. I have applied these to the next beta but am working on making shadows work on 3d slopes. I'll have something other than a headache once I've sorted that out.

Also probably going to renumber all this back to pre-release, since the whole shebang is in beta and not just a few features...

I tried this mod here

Okay the *fix* That I implemented on my copy to stop the crashes was just comment out out line 29 on error message. The other main issue for performance affecting is the Dual Shahows. Turn that off or get rid of it entirely because it makes the engine perform too much math. After that it runs like smooth butter, looks as good or better than v3.31b, and even works with GL ES and PolySoft rendering!

Good stuff to hear. I didn't try this on PolySoft yet. Dual Shadows can be turned off in Performance Settings.

Maybe if you want, just rename this to RelightingZ or something to differentiate it completely from the "old" version? Just a thought

Thanks. I'll probably leave it be; shadows are a new beta feature as well as universal compatibility. The basic idea hasn't changed even though the approach is different for better performance and compatibility. Also haven't decided what to do about wall textures yet. Sector colors are derived from reading flats against the last palette (so this works with a custom palette) but deciding application of dynamic lights based on wall textures is more involved across games and would degrade performance.

Speaking of shadows, are player and monster separated toggled? If not can it be done as the player shadow It'll be better disabled personally judging from RazzoR's video as the speed of doomguy makes it look jittery.

Maybe about wall textures some ideas for you to think about ¹) just leave it out entirely, ²) letting brightmaps be made exclusively for this or only making dynamic lights be based off the brightmaps, or ³) make separated versions having a lite/full version for the lite one to squeeze as much performance as possible. Since some people (or even maps for that matter) will play better with lite while some maps can get away with using a "full" version at no noticeable cost

The jittery player shadow is likely due to a lifespan of 3 tics per shadow. I'll see if eliminating this for the console player improves that.

Thanks. Good suggestions!

Quick progress update. I've fixed many bugs as well as added the above changes. There is buggy support for 3d slopes using quaternions, which I gather are being added to Actor. (I'll wait on that unless someone can help me with the rotations. Online help is dismal and conflicting.)

I've added a polylabel (pole of inaccessibility) placement of light sources option. In this example, the light source is centered in the larger area of the polygon, a subtle difference from CenterSpot or centroid placement.

This can be used to label maps, for example, but it's also useful to find the optimal placement of a light source. The algorithm is extremely fast but does increase level load times depending on the number of sectors where light sources are placed. Still testing.

so the top post is updated? version number still shows 4.0b for me

Haven't uploaded this yet.

I noticed as soon as I started Vanguard, the sky texture was missing, and turning off Relighting restored it.

I've been looking at this. I don't know how this has anything to do with the reflection code. There are only a few tags on this map, and none of these conflict with Relighting. If I don't add tags it works, but if I remove this from MAPINFO it works also:

Code: Select all

map MAP01 "Overgrown Sepulcher"
titlepatch CWILV00
next MAP02
secretnext MAP02
music D_RUNNIN

Not sure why Relighting breaks this bad boy...
