DT. Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Good extensions to use for normal maps: _n or _nrm. Using an "s" for normal maps can confuse people into thinking it's a specular map. Archangel35757 and Omicron like this Link to comment

Mandalorian Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thankyou. I will try it out, rend2 kills my computer a bit but it looks great. Link to comment
Boothand Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Actually I get stuck forever in "Starting up..." with the latest rend2 (got latest OpenJK and the redistributables mentioned). But I'm not in a hurry. Link to comment
DarthStiv Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Er, sorry for such a silly question, but I wonder if you can post a link to the latest Rend-2 build?-I really want to re- edit my Kotorpack with the bumpmupping... Link to comment
Xycaleth Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I can upload an updated version tonight. I've started introducing changes to require newer graphics cards (anything from the past 5 years should work) so people who could run it before might find they can no longer run it. If you can't, please let me know what error message you get and also what graphics card you have DT. and Mandalorian like this Link to comment

Xycaleth Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Here's a download link to the latest rend2: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/874909/rd-rend2_x86.zip So the only changes I've made are fixes to dynamic glow. And like I said before, I've upped the requirements a bit. If you have problems running rend2 now, please report the error message you're getting and the graphics card you're using!

Xycaleth Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 4, but like I said earlier in this thread (I think?), shader model versions only apply to Direct3D. Link to comment
DT. Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Updated to the latest rend2 fork code, compiled as release and placed everything where it needs to go. I then downloaded and placed this new rend2 dll. Now everytime I run openjk, it crashes upon startup. Link to comment

Boothand Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 While Xycaleth worked on rend2, Boothand in secrecy, having in fact stolen several recent hairs from Xycaleth's arm, worked on a cloning device which would provide an army of developers, from mere DNA extracts + breakfast cereals, every full moon.

Mandalorian Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 ok it crashes on kotor flight school. Could just be me. I'll have to test it more and remember the names of the other maps it crashes on.
