Hey why does my polymer look so differently, I dont get shadows or anything + when i shoot my lighting gets fucked up i mean I fire the upper part of the lighting shows gets cut in the middle and the under part of it shows too
I mean what the hell you could call it a burger without meat between it.

Don't expect any answer to this if you haven't provided all the necessary information

I mean that without the f*ucking Laggy polymer hrp
The dynamic lighting gets f*cked up
I mean who makes a polymer hrp with forced shadows why the heck cant we turn it off?

[Green]

ETA of HUD support?

Play Half-Life 2?
Is that a question of performance or preference?


I have not been keeping up to date on this and part of that is I don't even know if there is an unofficial release. I think I have the March 11 build. Have there been compiled versions since then?

[TerminX]

A new build for Windows is automatically compiled and placed into the synthesis directory every time someone commits anything to svn.

[The Commander]

Then commit your MP code already.

That is what I thought. Maybe I have updated on occasion here or there. I think part of my problem is that I don't have the download page bookmarked or anything so I just never get around to checking it.

I kind of miss the days when things were more "here is an official release" every so often. I suppose those days will return some day once you get Polymer optimized and fully functional. Then the maphacks for lights and the pHRP will have official releases that I don't have to jump through hoops (er, go to places I don't usually go) to find.

[TerminX]

Well, every once in a while I deem a build good enough to replace the version you get when you download from eduke32.com... I suppose that's like an official release, since it only happens every few months. They just don't have version numbers anymore.

I'd like to turn it off for reasons of preference, not by performance, which is! I have a
GeForce 9800 GTX +
Eduke 32 works normally!

[Plagman]

There isn't an easy way to do so, but a one-line patch to the source code would do it. Maybe I should make it into a setting.

[Green]

Is it possible to make the screenshots come out as PNG or JPEG?

[TerminX]

Not without adding some library capable of writing those formats, which would be a waste when only used for that one thing.

[Searinox Navras]

I'm updating EDuke and the texture pack after some half an year. I noticed some changes in EDuke32 specifically the fade effect of 8bit is back in the new builds for 32bit. I downloaded the polymer HRP released a month ago and the latest EDuke SVN. I have two issues. Firstly the fadeouts flicker, even with vsync. Second, I get no polymer lighting whatsoever. Could somebody point me to a stable SVN? Thank you.

Isn't it viable to go for BMP? I thought it's quite similar with PCX, just that more programs are capable of opening it.

[Hendricks266]

IrfanView, Photoshop, GIMP, etc. all support TGA.

TGA is good because it's basically an output of the frame buffer IIRC. Besides, it's not that hard to make a simple batch script with something like PngOptimizerCL to convert all TGAs to PNG and delete the TGAs. No need to bloat EDuke32.

[Plagman]

This is now fixed, and a new synthesis build is up. It should have working multiplayer again; synthesis has been a little slow to pick up things lately because of some connection issues between the machine and the sourceforge server.

[Searinox Navras]

I have identified a problem with the latest builds and the DukePlus addon. Playing Tribute To Action(possibly others too) toggles the polymer flag in the main cfg to Polymer=0. At first this has no impact and since the settings are imported from DP\DP.cfg which does not get altered. However, quitting the game completly, going back in, and playing the level again will toggle the Polymer to 0 in the DP.cfg aswell. After this 2nd runthrough any further sessions of Duke Nukem won't display polymer until it's changed back in the files. It doesn't seem normal for a level to be able to change the engine's setting.

can I reduce the size of the fire light? or the shoot light?
man, this size have to be reduced!
even in the crysis, the lights are small, when a grenade explodes, when you shoot with a gun, the light size is minimum!

tanks

I think the lighting for the guns is great ...
But the fire should definatly be reduced ... if you look at the secret area with the girl dancing around the fire in E1L5 ... it's wayyyy to bright

yeh ive found that myself, i have to keep fire stupidly small to make sure its light will not go everywhere, fairly certain the light radius is based on the sprite size

[TerminX]

Yeah, it's based on sprite size... but let's be realistic here; if you light a lighter, you get one damn small flame that easily lights up a good sized area in a dark room. The radius is pretty large but I think it looks good in a lot of maps.

[Stabs]

its very dim light tho, I don't think the standard fire can push such intense light that far, a flame as big as the 2nd pic in eduke would probably light up the entire crowd, the flicker is perfect tho, that dosn't need a change

[TerminX]

The part of the crowd that's actually hit by the light is pretty intensely lit up though.

[Stabs]

it seems really intense around the fire and than just fades of to nothing rather abruptly

is there any kind of fade control or is it just radius?

[MusicallyInspired]

Keep in mind that could also be a failure on the camera's part to capture the light properly. Camera lenses view light differently than the human eye. I guess it just depends on what you want to emulate.

[Mblackwell]

True, we have no idea what the exposure was set to. Probably a fairly quick one or the fire would be very blurred with lots of ghosting. Note that the camera doesn't see any of the sky, for example, when this would be incredibly apparent to anyone actually present.
