rd-rend2 (old thread)

[Xycaleth]

Looks like a bug in my recent change. I've fixed the problem now - update your code from Github

[DT.]

Works now.

 

It seems now though, I get weird black bits on any ghoul2 model that has "rgbGen lightingdiffuseEntity" in the .shader or .mtr. Models that don't use a shader have no issues.

[Xycaleth]

Dammit can you post a screenshot? I've forgotten to do something and I didn't really test my changes very well.

[DT.]

 

Also, the model's face mesh disappears randomly. Not sure if these two issues are connected, or whether it's just faces or random parts of the model:

 

[AshuraDX]

I've had those dark spots with my last rend-2 compile not on every run of the game though

[Xycaleth]

@@DT85 Can't reproduce the issue. I've created a shader to add rgbgen lightingDiffuseEntity to all of Kyle's textures and it works fine for me. Do you have the old rend2 GLSL shaders in a pk3 somewhere perhaps? I've changed them a fair bit which could cause strange things to happen if they've not been updated.

[DT.]

Maybe it's my card or something that rend2 doesn't like.

 

Anyways, I've been trying out cubemaps and I get this error when r_cubemapping is enabled. From first glance, it seems like it doesn't like platform toolset 120:

 var_PrimaryLightDir.xyz;
	// enable when point lights are supported as primary lights
	//sqrLightDist = dot(L2, L2);
	//L2 /= sqrt(sqrLightDist);
	NL2 = clamp(dot(N, L2), 0.0, 1.0);
	H2 = normalize(L2 + E);
	EH2 = clamp(dot(E, H2), 0.0, 1.0);
	NH2 = clamp(dot(N, H2), 0.0, 1.0);
	reflectance  = diffuse.rgb;
	reflectance += CalcSpecular(specular.rgb, NH2, NL2, NE, EH2, gloss, shininess);
	lightColor = u_PrimaryLightColor * var_Color.rgb;
	// enable when point lights are supported as primary lights
	//lightColor *= CalcLightAttenuation(float(u_PrimaryLightDir.w > 0.0), u_PrimaryLightDir.w / sqrLightDist);
    #if defined(USE_SHADOWMAP)
	lightColor *= shadowValue;
    #endif
	// enable when point lights are supported as primary lights
	//lightColor *= CalcLightAttenuation(float(u_PrimaryLightDir.w > 0.0), u_PrimaryLightDir.w / sqrLightDist);
	gl_FragColor.rgb += lightColor * reflectance * NL2;
  #endif
#else
	lightColor = var_Color.rgb;
  #if defined(USE_LIGHTMAP) 
	lightColor *= lightmapColor.rgb;
  #endif

#endif

#if defined(USE_GLOW_BUFFER)
	out_Glow = gl_FragColor;
#else
	out_Glow = vec4(0.0);
#endif

The black bits goes away if I turn off normal mapping.

[Xycaleth]

Hm maybe I need to add a normal map. That would make sense.

 

EDIT: With parallax mapping too? Can you send me the textures/shaders? Would save me having to guess what to put on the textures and stuff

 

And I'll fix that shader compile error tomorrow evening or during the weekend. Should be a simple fix.

[DT.]

It happens on models that do not have normal maps or even shaders. Good example is the jedi model (not jaden). I've removed ALL of my mods and i'm just running openJK with base assets. It could be an issue that was brought about at the same time as mesh holes, which is when you changed the normal map code for ghoul2. As AhsuraDX said, this & mesh holes happen randomly and not everytime.

[AshuraDX]

Exactly , and the "mesh holes" occured on models without rend2 shaders for me - I did not notice them on the AT-ST or any of the sabers I outfitted with rend2 shaders - but I may have overlooked them because of their small size on screen

yep, I am (GTX 460)

[DT.]

GTX 640. Sounds like an NVIDIA card compatibility issue with rend2 which is good (meaning the code isn't borked), but also bad (you'll probably need to do extra coding that's NVIDIA specific).

[Xycaleth]

It could also mean there's a problem with rend2 and the problem doesn't manifest itself on AMD cards which is bad

[DT.]

That's why I'm the n00b and you're the programmer guy, you know much.

[CzarHellios]

I run a video card that I read on the forums, 3.0, that can run Rend2. Intel card, but I cannot run Rend2. In the event I am not ignorant and or stupid, then I may of provided quality information! I hope I did!

[Xycaleth]

3.0 is a number not a video card I'm guessing it's the version of OpenGL your video card supports, which isn't high enough to run rend2.

[CzarHellios]

Xycaleth, I...Googled that and somehow I found a "3.0 Video-Card." I wonder if that makes me less, or more....

@@Xycaleth, when you implement dlights that project shadows & reflection (as in mirror-like reflection), I'll make a rend2 conversion of an existing map. Right now, I've been toying with FFA1 but it doesn't look as good as I'd like.

What do you mean by dlights that can project/do reflections? Reflections are a property of the materials, not the light O.o
