Someone made a plugin to fill the void called "Insane Bump" that works pretty well:

When that goes commercial, I'm looking forward to "Deranged Bump" and then "Raving Psycho Bump".

And then "TX's Ex-Gf Bump"...

Really amazing screen

I am surprised of this one ! how could you do that (3d objet, bump textures ?)

[Alan]

What are the requirements for a mod to load under the Games tab?

[Jokke_r]

noticed a little bug, in E3l1 in the back of the kitchen:

http://img30.imagesh...0/3351/bugo.jpg

the looks like the parallax scale goes a little bonkers in the sector shading, but then again i only noticed it in that particular location.

[TerminX]

Are you sure that's not just a regular misaligned texture in the original map?

[Jokke_r]

Sure it is misaligned but doesn't explain why the parallax scale is much higher there, they are the same textures after all.

Yes there is definatly something going on with the parallax scale there. Got the same thing in the theater floors.

I thought that was Mt. Carpet, the 8th wonder of the modern world.

[lycanox]

Perhaps its the difference in shading between the sectors?

[Hellbound]

How can I setup specular power for a particular texture?

EDIT:

It would be great to have some public repository of normal maps and specular masks for HRP textures (for people who are working on upgrading original maps for polymer), because now I don't know if the texture is made by someone already or is it not.

[engineer]

Laugh at the name all you want, but a depth setting of 5 made normals that fail to look like the genesis project video.

[Hellbound]

"Saturday Night"

What is light?
Texture don't hurt mee!

Here are some screenies of what is done, awaiting criticism and opinions.











I hope I'm not spamming these forums with those.
Note: I don't know all the features to use yet. I dunno how to make reflective surfaces and parallax feature isn't my bitch, I'm rather it's bitch and we don't like each other.

NO - GIVE ME MORE.... MORE I SAY DAMNIT!!!!

MORE!!!

[Geoffrey]

There are some questionable bump/height/no-idea-what-they're-called maps but as a whole I love what you're doing - the light placement looks great! Especially in the large rooms.

[Hellbound]

Yeah, those normal maps will be tweaked when I'll realize how to make them better
I think that making them from scratch by hand is the best idea.

[engineer]

I'm having hell trying to get the parallax aspect working without the textures moving or turning into a mimetic poly-alloy.

Some tips.

start at 0 on both.

Then up scale until the depth look right. then tweak bias until it does not move. Bias should be somewhere between 0 and the scale. 0 means that anything that is black in the height map will not move ( everything will seem to stick out). bias the same as scale means anything white in the height map will not move(everything seems to "go in"). bias at half the scale means that anything that's grey (50%white) will not move while white spots stick out and black spots go in.

You will never be able to get no floating as something will always point in or out and if that happens to be at the edge of a wall it will float. What you need to do is find the best compromise. It could be the height most of the texture has or the height that is most commonly at the edge of things. In some cases parts of a texture is more obvious if it floats then some other.

[Sangman]

Looks quite nice Hellbound, but maybe a bit too dark. Perhaps that is necessary to make the dynamic lights come out more, but still, having a pretty faint light in one part of a room and making everything else almost pitch black.. looks weird.

so I can assign a heightmap using the same method I would use to apply the normal/specular map?

The height map is the alpha channel of the normal map.

I'm experiencing a pretty awkward bug in Mapster32 (polymer build).
Whenever I try to select something in 3D mode, the cursor automatically selects the object/texture corresponding that of which is in the 45° position to my right. Also I've been trying to get spotlight SE generated shadows to show up for some time but without success. Attached below is my cfg and E32 log file respectively. I had to shorten the log because it made the post too long, it was basically:

No cached tex for tile ### pal ###.
Error: glGetTexLevelParameteriv returned GL_FALSE!

I don't suppose you see any shadows from the recon car headlights either? They should project shadows of whatever is standing in front of them. This is pretty weird; out of all the ATI feedback I had, half have broken mirrors, the other half have broken shadows and MusicallyInspired has this weird things where sprites will slow the game down to a crawl. It's hard to try and match that with card/driver features.

That's why I created this wiki page:
http://wiki.eduke32....r_compatibility

If you're having problems with polymer, please input your information there so I can try and figure out what the big picture is.

Thanks.

Nope, none there either!

Ive put my info there as I don't have any mirror problems but im an ATI user as you know so I thought it would be good to have comparisons with the others that do.
