Hi!

Just like other Build Engine games, Ion Fury needs its own voxel pack. Obviously the game has all items, weapons and a few props voxelized, but why not increase its voxel count as well?

Here's a link to the github repository:

https://github.com/D...Fury-Voxel-Pack

There's no "the first version" yet, but feel free to download what I've got in the repository. In the near future, I am planning to put this voxel pack as a mod on Moddb, after reaching a certain number of voxels (maybe 100).

Super controversial voxel, watch out!

Ok so me being the voxel aficionado that I am, I could not wait till tomorrow to test this bad boy. So after playing with the first part of level 1 this are my initial thoughts:

• The voxels look great as always however there is a performance hit in game. At the very least on my machine (i7 6700 HQ CPU, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 960M, with IF installed on SSD running on 1080p at fullscreen) there was stuttering and slowdowns present. This was of course to be expected. This lessened as soon as I lowered the resolution but still it should be noted.
  
• Maphacks need to be made obviously. It's gonna take a while though and the effort of the community to figure it out. So far there is not something egregious so for a alpha release it was all right.
  
• Gameplay wise, things kinda changed. Specifically relating to the route you have to take to get to the Blade Runner easter egg, jumping on the cables can be harder with voxel mod than without. This is because the voxel cable looks (obviously) way thicker than the sprite, so it can lead to overshooting a jump that you should be able to make. I expect this can also be a minor problem on other areas were this kind of platforming is a thing.
  
• There was a error while loading the voxels.def fiel relating to some voxels with the names Ballon, cockroach and eye. I assume however that they were not loaded because they are WIP (lol, silly Ion Fury). Still I attached my fury.log just in case.

Those are the 4 main take aways at this time. I'm gonna try and install eduke32 to play around and see if changing the settings give me a boost in performance, because this one looks to be more demanding than vanilla IF or the other 3 Build games (DN3D, Blood & SW) + voxel patch. Or at the very least with my setup...

Here are some screenies for your viewing pleasure:















Also you missed the most important thing you could have added to make this alpha release perfect: The Blade Runner easter egg.

At the end of the day, I'm really excited at were this voxel pack is going! Even if I'm gonna have to play IF at 720p

Interesting, I don't see any performance drop, but in general it's to be expected. Thanks for the log.

[Dzierzan]

The issues you mentioned are fixed. I even fixed offsets for gaming knobs. Anyway, here are clock voxels:

very nice

[Dzierzan]

Added "ketchup" voxels

[jkas789]

Tested new version of the Voxel pack with the eduke32 executable and IF. Changing the r_glfinish value from 0 to 1 and the r_anisotropy value from 16 to 4 gained me moderate performance boost with the voxel pack. So at least my old reliable is still alive and kicking.

Added 9945 and 9946:

[Dzierzan]

I asked this on Discord, but I'll do it here as well. Can these railings be rendered as voxels? Maybe there's a hack or something?



In this test map, they showes as voxels correctly:



All railings I voxelized so far:



I also voxelized chains:




But sadly, there's the same issue

[Dzierzan]

Added 9949 and 9950:




And about the chains, it was my mistake, I didn't save it. It works as intended.

[Dzierzan]

Added 9272 flush:

[Dzierzan]

Added 9972 faucet knob and pipes 6524-6527:

[Dzierzan]

Added plates 6580 and 6581:

[jkas789]

Posting some shots of the dinner plates in here because I know there is sometimes not that much crossover between the Discord and the forums.

TLDR: They look good IMO. Needs individual tweaking obviously in regards to position them on the map because they clip but otherwise it's great.

Some pictures of the plates in different lighting in E1L1

[Truck Stop Santa Claus]

I don't know if there is anyway to fix that, without messing with the maps

[Dzierzan]

Added candles:

[Dzierzan]

Added shears:

Added 8981-8984 street lamp voxel:

[Dzierzan]

Added 8977, 8985, 8986, 8991, 8996

[Dzierzan]

Added 9164:

As a know voxel aficionado, I'm happy you decided to come back to Ion Fury!

[Dzierzan]

Added TMNT voxel stuff:

[Jan Satcitananda]

Awesome stuff! Already a pretty solid addition to Ion Fury's voxel prop repertoire. Cool to see some voxels (glass and bottles) actually translucent in Polymost.

This is tile #6532 railing, which is not voxelized yet. It will render as voxels when you make a voxel for it.

[Dzierzan]

OK, you solved the mistery. I was 100% sure it was #8653 as it was very similar. Thanks.

[Dzierzan]

Added 6532, 6533, 11168, 11169, 11170 (railings):

Added 7929 and 7930:
