List of “DynamicGlow” & “DynamicLight” settings & what they are..

[General Howard]

Ok, so I’m just wondering if anyone knows or can point me in the right direction, as to what all the dynamic glow and dynamic light commands are, in the console?

 

r_dynamiclight = 1 (I know “1” is to turn on dynamic light and “0” is to turn it off)

r_DynamicGlowWidth = 320

r_DynamicGlowSoft = 1

r_DynamicGlowPasses = 5

r_DynamicGlowIntensity = 1.13f

r_DynamicGlowHeight = 240

r_DynamicGlowDelta = 0.8f

 

If there’s any info anywhere, regarding this.. It’d be a big help.

Thanks!

r_dynamicGlow 0-1 of course. Not the same as r_dynamicLight.

Atleast in OJK r_dynamicGlow 2 is a thing.

That renders only the glows.

 

In OJK you can Also type R_dynamicG and press tab to get a list of suggestions for the auto completion, which should nicely list all of the commands

r_dynamicGlow can also be set to 2 in base JA, and works the same way, only rendering the glow on a black background.

Good to know

@@Xycaleth can probably answer what the other cvars do.

r_dynamicLight toggles lights on walls of your saber and similar things with a light source.

r_DynamicGlow* - it is better to see yourself what it changes.

Change one value a bit, do vid_restart and see. Then change another and so on.

All that said works the same in the original engine.

Basically you just adjust how the dynamic glow will look like: its power, its spreadness etc. It is not SO special.

Huh, I could have sworn that the base game did not offer the suggestion list for partially entered commands.

r_dynamicLight, ent has already explained.

 

I don't know for sure how the r_dynamicGlow cvars are used, but I do know how dynamic glow works so here's my educated guess:

 

Any models with shader stage that has a "glow" keyword will have it's glowy portions rendered again to an off-screen image. I think r_dynamicGlowWidth and r_dynamicGlowHeight control the size of this off-screen image. Once all the glowy stages are rendered, you blur the off-screen image a few times. r_dynamicGlowPasses controls how many times, and r_dynamicGlowDelta controls how much to blur. Finally, you blend this off-screen image with what you have on the screen. r_dynamicGlowIntensity controls how strongly to blend and r_dynamicGlowSoft controls the type of blend.

 

Like ent said, if you load a map with cheats on you can see how each of the cvars affects the size of the glow, and the quality. You don't need to run vid_restart after changing each one (except for r_dynamicGlowWidth and r_dynamicGlowHeight maybe?), they'll take effect immediately.
