No, that was removed when the dynamic light handling code was merged into GZDoom. What you have in GZDoom (and QZDoom) right now is effectively the "medium" light quality setting (no specular highlights), although this subject is a little complicated due to needs for backwards compatibility with mods.

There a thread in the GZDoom forum talking about the current status of the dynamic point lights and what Graf's plans are in this area.

Starting to notice sprite edge garbage pixels in SUAB with QZDoom, though it's present for other mods. It's pretty much the same error as with build engine sprites, but instead of the garbage pixels sitting on the top of the sprites, it's the sides:

Would you mind reposting this in here? That definitely needs review - and don't worry, you don't have to create an account.

Hmm, that's certainly interesting. From your log file:

Code: Select all

LLVM target triple: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
LLVM target CPU: sandybridge

**** DIED WITH FATAL ERROR:
Illegal instruction: DrawWall1
Anyone else here got a sandybridge CPU? :)

Actually, googling sandy bridge reveals that it has AVX, while the data sheet for your CPU only got SSE 4.1. Seems LLVM misidentified your CPU and generated AVX instructions that it doesn't understand. :/

Sorry, got a bit too technical there. It's a QZDoom bug, yes. I'll see if I can add some kind of workaround soon for your CPU.

I belive on future maybe zandronum will use The QZDoom code instead of Gzdoom (mostly because it has both software and opengl renders)

As exciting as that is, I've only merged in the QZDoom code once and never even tested it. I just offered it as a proof of concept of "here, it can be done."

I believe if Torr wants QZDoom code, he's quite likely going to want to work alongside both dpJudas and I - or at the very least, dpJudas. I don't imagine there's going to be much needed to integrate the QZDoom renderer into Zandronum, but a little back-and-forth between those two might go a long way to ensuring the code is stable after the merge. They'll probably want to negotiate licenses too - because that's pretty much dpJudas's baby right there. ;)

However, the floatification errors in ZDoom should probably be addressed first - and we're starting to nail those down.

The license of my files follow Randi's license for the ones that was based on her code (r_draw_rgba.cpp and r_drawt_rgba.cpp). For the new files with no license currently, those will be using the usual zlib license I always use. I'll try see if I can get that added to the files soon. :)

I seem to have an odd problem with Guncaster where when using the truecolor software renderer it takes quite some time to load but isn't TOO bad but when I die and press use to load up again it eats more RAM than my shitty 2 gb ram laptop has (last 2 times it took up a whole 2.1 gb of ram) and freezes. I'm not sure how long it freezes as I haven't tried waiting long enough but it's probably over 10 minutes if not indefinitely. Doesn't seem to happen with just ZDoom.

I like seeing the truecolor renderer become its own thing!

I noticed something was removed, though. In my TC, there are slopes everywhere; The original, glitchy true-color renderer distorted wall textures on slopes, which was nice. This doesn't happen in QZDoom...is there a way to re-enable it?
