Because this solution using globalvariables in drawrooms and drawalls with comparing globasector (upper ROR sector) with drawing lower neighboring ROR sectors. I just don't like it and I will try to find a better solution. Anyway, at fist look, this solution hasn't important glitches

[m210®]

I planning to make a new release today or tommorow for testing ROR and as bonus - with skybox and hires textures support
Also, as I wrote, I'm working on new voxels reader...I made it, but some voxels doesn't drawing correctly.

The new voxel reader is faster on 25%

Awesome news!!! Thank You M210!!!

Well, I made a release It's time to testing

v0.771 (19 July 2017)
1. ROR rendering fix (major fix, need testing)
2. gView.pSprite == null fix (crash after insert player and load game)
3. skybox and hires textures support
4. added "show statistic" option in game setup menu

[Fantinaikos]

The ROR fix seems working well with all the base episode, for some reason still affect Cryptic Passage. If not caused by map geometry compatibility parameter to work on, it may just depend from the .ART change (already temporarily replaced). BTW A direct reading of the .AR_ sprite files would be more convenient.

EDIT: Things goes better when you start a new map/game, probably this really resolves all.

Excellent work! Testing it now and ROR glitch is finally gone (so far I have only done random check on few places). Info for other testers: Start new game when testing, ROR fix does not work with savegames from older BloodGDX versions.

[m210®]

Heh, yep...it will be better to restart your map for reinit mirrors...or you can complete a saved map and the next map's ROR will working well

I can confirm that place from screenshot is ok after I started new game.

So basically, after the ROR fix, the only major thing that's left is the alt fire for some weapons and we've got the first fully compatible source port for Blood...

Excellent work !

How to enable skybox, like on this screenshot?

[axl]

Did some testing for your new ROR fix: It's a major improvement, but still has some minor glitches depending on the viewpoint (screenshot 1). Also E2M7 "Bowels of the Earth" displays some weird glitch (screenshot 2). The latter however may be a mapping problem since the original Blood had also a glitch around the same spot (screenshot 3).

Thanks.

Thank you so very much!

I donated again right now as promised.

Deathwish ep2 level 1 now has over 75-150fps at the begining instead of a lousy 23-32.
Nice optimizations.

Keep up the great work! =D

[kimec]

First of all thank you for the ROR fix.

However, starting with 0.771 you now seem to be obfuscating/minifing the java byte code. I understand you are navigating through some gray area, but I thought you would release the source code eventually.
Maybe you could clarify whether you intend to release the source or not at all.

Also, no BloodGDX for me on my FreeBSD system. Even though you are using lwjgl backend which has a working port on FreeBSD, GDX it self does not support FreeBSD as of yet. What a pity .

Is your FreeBSD system running on either of x86 or x86_64?

Yes, I too would like to know where/how to enable these new skyboxes?

[m210®]

Mr. Death, on 19 July 2017 - 04:30 PM, said:

1. Download latest BloodCM and find skyboxes.zip in autoload folder.
2. Unpack skyboxes folder from zip into Blood folder.
3. Create texture.def with this code:

skybox {
   tile 3678 pal 0
   top   "skyboxes/8798_UP.png" 
   down  "skyboxes/8798_DN.png" 
   front "skyboxes/8798_BK.png" 
   right "skyboxes/8798_RT.png" 
   back  "skyboxes/8798_FR.png" 
   left  "skyboxes/8798_LF.png" 
}

And you can see, that it doesn't works properly Because it working with square textures only...there is a something wrong in texture cache code.
You can use it with tile0 only in this release
But you can use hires textures, it should works properly

texture 0 {  pal 0 { file "tile0.png" }  }

I just deleted voxels.def But you can get it back

Maybe I can do something for fix, but ROR will never ideal I think...I just did all, what I could

It's x86_64.

Does x86_64 FreeBSD have a way of running 32-bit binaries, kind of like Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64)?

I use voxels.def and i still get this performance boost.

The room over room fix is very nice.
Most of the time it works flawless for me.
