Have you tried building in MSVC 2013 community edition?

I wasn't able to do so...

Since I cannot build would you kindly do so?

@ mh

Yeah, I think we're speaking on different terms here because the brush geometry in Doom 3 is poorly batched unless
done by the mapper (proper func_static setups, etc ) We've got game code that automates some of that process but
it could be made more efficient by tighter integration into the ...

Thanks for your assist Rev!

Yeah, that doesn't quite line-up with how it's explained at iddev.net

Step 1:
Renders all solid (non-translucent) geometry in black. If a stage has an alpha test, then it gets rendered with the alpha test enabled. This is to fill the depth buffer so early z can prevent expensive shader ops later ...

Excuse me if I'm bringing in some nonsense but I went looking at the depth buffer code again to how it related to overdraw and noticed that
the loop sorta looks like:

For each light
Get view
fill depth buffer
allocate vertex
clear depth buffer
paint light
paint non-lit surfaces
paint post-process ...

Yeah, he stated on D3W shortly after the GPL release, that he already tried to do this but found the GPU memory needed was
too high to make it practical. It seems he's trying again...

I wish I could help there. I know that Rebb helped Sikkpin with a similar request for his soft-shadows.

Did you see this?

(deferred renderer)

Good work.

I still hope someday to see SSAO as a modulation of the ambient lights rather than a post-process...

May I request a compile too?

Woot! Does this require your OMP work, or can it be applied to any vanilla code base?

Good stuff! :D


So, if you hadn't noticed, one of our developers currently has a working prototype for an anti-portal type map object:

Quick progress update: I spent all morning struggling with geometry that I ...

Hey, do think "antiportals" would be a beneficial addition?

Eg. Invisible brush volumes that tell the renderer "do not render anything behind me when in view".

I suppose func_portals serve this same purpose but have more overhead (not ...

You are a freaking machine!!!! That last commit had too many changes to render properly at Github.

If someone is skilled with MFC code i could use a hand fixing up radiant + tools.
The PDA editor needs to be finished and there are a number of things in the other editors that need fixing.

Have you pinged Greebo, Taaaki, Orbweaver, or Grayman over at The Dark Mod forums?

I know Greebo is ...

Yeah, the last time I tried googling ENB or SweetFX for OpenGL I think I came across this one.

When I tried SSAO, the screen was filled with artifacts and the result did not look like SSAO.

I'll try this one again.

It's such a shame that skybox and alpha vegetation have artifacts with Sikkmod ...
