mh's zfail skypheres port to normal quake

Post by revelator »

not sure they are correct they do work tho ;) one function in particualr had me up the walls the code for clipping sky see below maybe if mh drops by he can spread some light as to what actually needs to be there, as of right now i just render two passes ontop.

Code: Select all

/*

*/
void R_DrawSkyArrays (int texnum, float bigscale, float smallscale, float rotatefactor)
{
	// go to a new matrix
	glPushMatrix ();
	
	// center it on the players position, scale it, orient so the poles are unobtrusive,
	// make it not always at right angles to the player, and rotate it around the poles
	glTranslatef (r_origin[0], r_origin[1], r_origin[2]);
	glTranslatef (0, 0, -500);
	glScalef (bigscale, bigscale, smallscale);
	glRotatef (-90, 1, 0, 0);
	glRotatef (-22, 0, 1, 0);
	glRotatef (rotatefactor, 0, 0, 1);
	
	// bind the correct texture
	GL_Bind (texnum);
	
	// draw the sphere
	// (if this barfs on your implementation, just unroll the single call into 10 batches of 22)
	glCallList (r_skysphere);
	
	// restore the previous matrix
	glPopMatrix ();
}

That looks right. :)

:shock: it is :?: cool :D
was starting to wonder if you moved to qukedev thank you for confirming the code :wink:

I ported this into Qrack when MH posted the tut back on QSG.
If you want to see the end result you can try R_SKYSCROLL 1 in Qrack or MHQUAKE.
The new z-fail method speeds the rendering 10x so it is VERY useful on less powerful machines, like my silly DELL desktop at work that has an integrated Intel (brookdale) card.

EDIT:
Oops! I just re-read your message to conclude u meant PUT it. I thought for a minute meant check it OUT. :P

The bulk of the code goes in gl_warp.c

Yup, it's all in gl_warp.c - have a look at the Qrack source, it's probably easier to work from than mine :lol:

the above is correct when i first posted this it wasnt actually in the tutorial section cause i wasnt sure it was right so some code is missing like the EmitFlatPoly code "part of fuhquake qrack joequake etc" can get it from there if its missing in your gl_warp.c :)

rest is pretty much straight forward ;)
