It's a cvar (console variable).

r_pr_maxlightpasses 12

is what Mark uses.

I feel like we should default that setting to infinity instead of what it is now. Any objections?

I have tried it, no changes regarding the issue.

[David B.]

I just have tried a little experience.

For me it should come from the model rendering. Here's maybe a clue.... Well the result is not satisfying yet but I have added meshes divisions on the model to see what happens.
Edit : It seems the least detailed the model is, the worst it is rendered. Why is that ?

If you are using a version of Eduke32 between 4593 and about 6404 there is a long known problem with some model rendering of normal and spec maps. Update to a newer version and see if your problems go away. That thin sliver of light in your first pic was exactly one of the problems I had up until H266 found and fixed the bug a few revisions ago.

I posted this in the scary thread, but I made this a while ago but just never released it. Simple little remix of XPlasma.

You're right, I just have downloaded the last version 6428 and this fixes the problem.

When did you start working on this? It seems like you started it a couple of weeks ago and just can't stop mapping, isn't it?
I mean, we all knew that feeling when you have start the map and make huge progress every day because you have the inspiration and energy to do that.

[BestViking]

That looks real nice with the red carpet and all. Can we get some info on the setting/plot?

I started the map in May. I spent a week and a half working on this, but eventually I ran out of steam and ideas.
Last week I had another outburst of ideas for the map so I started working on it again, it's getting really close to being pretty much finished.

You'll see soon enough

Working on Trequonia V2.
Is the same mod but will have 2 extra level and small fixes.
Extra levels will mostly be "alternate routes" of some levels.
not too hard to be found tho.

A bit like the first secret level of Oblivion's Episode 3 which is an alternate version of the second level ?

[Zaxtor]

Yes something like that.

I simply love XPlasma, in my opinion one of the best tracks of the game.


I'm messing around Duke's palette, trying to make it a bit refreshing (although I think it's not looking good at all heh)

[Zaxtor]

Working on Trequonia V2.
is just like V1 except has few fixes, improvement, 2 extra levels
(no need to redownload texture pack once is finished, only the grp file and its duke3d.def file)

Working on the alternate route of level 1

Make the grey greenish so it creates more harmonic contrast with magenta.

[Sanek]

Pics of more simple, dumber version of the TC that I've worked on a couple of months ago (until Eddy became an asshole). That's how the levels will look like (the later ones will be more elaborate). The player must collect all the candies, while the enemies patrol the area or chase the player. That's the final vision of the project - it requires much less from the potential programmer.

I think I will start a "developer's kit" theard in near future, since I don't expect help from Eddy and I don't want to just dump all that stuff into nowhere.

If people are interested, I'll release my skybox blend for HHR. Not just the tiles, but the blend file with the camera rig so you can make your own high-res skyboxes and it will automatically spit out the correct tiles.

Also includes building models and LA skyline backdrop.

[Fox]

There are still some glitches, but this is the last piece to make it 100% classic compatible...

[Micky C]

That looks pretty good for a giant voxel.

What are you doing about the 3D explosion effects?

[Fox]

Unfortunately translucency appears to have been disabled for voxels.

[Hendricks266]

That is probably because it would be hard to make it look right. Voxels in classic are many small squares overlaid, and you would want the blending to take place only once instead of each square blending with the next. It would probably require a separate buffer which voxels are drawn into, and then that flattened image is drawn to the screen and blended once. The vox2poly that Polymost runs would need to be constructed in a way so that only cubes on the outside surface are constructed. (This may already be the case.) Even then, it may have the problem like HRP Duke models where you can see the sunglasses on the far face through the near face while looking at the back of Duke's translucent head.

[Fox]

But in this case it wouldn't be a problem.

tbh i never understood what they were going for with the shrink ray in DN64 but i always found its goofy ufo-esque design endearing.

a sneak peak

[Mark]

Put your boots on and jump right in. Its looks refreshing.

[Sanek]

Yes, it's the official title.

I will start a "developer's kit" theard soon, with complete list of what's done and what needs to be done.

"Candy" Are you sure ? I thought King had issued an exclusivity thing on game titles with the words "Candy" and/or "Saga" so I'm wondering ... >_>

...

Yeah you're right, F*** 'EM !

I'm aware of that, but actually King abandoned "candy" trademark back in 2014.
