The guy looks like he needs some roids.

Anyhow, nice start.

Trueview 1 shows the entire player model, which looks pretty bad when it's as upclose as that. Much rather to see just the legs of the player model, and still use viewmodels.

I'll see what i can do, what's the target budget for mesh and textures?

I'd say 2,000 tris max total for both arm meshes, and 2-3,000 max for the weapon itself? Open to any thoughts here.

The only trueview I'm interested in is 2.0, where it shows the viewmodel & the lower half of the player.

If there were enough developers interested to team up, then I would totally move DF2 over to UE4.

The nastolgia factor is great for the old cutscenes but redoing them would almost equal the work on the core game itself. It'd be nice to have them done in CGI or use like the Unreal movie thingie like the JK2 movie did to get a higher quality result. GLA animation isn't that awesome to use when looking at things up close and detailed.

I already have a plan to get realistic facial animation. It's just implementing a full set of facial bones, animating the talking in Max/XSI, compiling it as a cinematic GLA, then playing the talking animation & voice file at the same time via ICARUS.

Just an FYI - I've implemented Ghoul2 viewmodels so when you're done, send it over to me for rigging.

Regarding Kyle. Do you think for now you could just make high quality viewmodel arms, all the way up to the shoulder? Any neutral pose you choose will do as we're not using the player model GLA for viewmodels.

My last 4:3 monitor was a CRT, so long ago now.

Yeah, I'd personally LOVE to redo those cutscenes in-game but I have plenty to do already.

It's pretty good, but Ray Park isn't that beefy so my Maul head looks a bit out of place on the torso you have there.

Yeah, remember the Mos Eisley map that was made in UE4?

This kind of quality, if it's done right.

Looks great, but would look 10x better with PBR.

The code is largely @@ent 's and its upto him if they want to implement it in Openjk.

I've added support for widescreen resolutions in the r_mode code, so we aren't just using that custom resolution method.

While the toggle for widescreen works, the menus just became too much of a hassle to make sure they worked for both 4:3 & 16:9 so we've the dumped 4:3 option in setup. You can always set the r_mode to be a 4:3 resolution, but beware the menus won't always display correctly.

EDIT:

When the 1 level PBR demo is out, the menus will be there for anyone to play with. I have the 4:3 resolutions commented out, so you could just un-comment them and the 4:3 aspect ratio option.

Maybe one day down the track I'll come back and make sure the menus look fine using 4:3 resolutions, but there's just so much to do right now and very little man-power.

I think I read somewhere that Kyle uses a modified bryar blaster. I'm wanting to keep as close to what we see in the cutscenes as possible, so just use them as reference.

FINALLY figured out the correct shader for using misc_models (the ones that turn into BSP, not static). Only issue now is apparently, misc_models do not show marks for sabers or blasters. @@SomaZ, would this be a q3map2 thing or GL2 renderer?

Now we just need it to look as good ingame. Can't wait for SomaZ to finish the lighting, this game will look so great.

Kinda hoping you would stick to the posted size, so I can just do an easy replace. Looks like I'll have to redo the map texturing, as it's set to the posted resolutions.

Anyhow, looks great. I take it you'll send them all in a pack when done?

I should have it somewhere, I'll look through my stuff.

I've mostly redone the gorc and pic level, and it's basically done.

GL2 lighting hasn't been sorted yet, so we're still using lightmaps. When we have it sorted, I'll use my 07yun level as a "how to".

The most important thing we need done is the level block outs, which are still done in radiant.

I don't think the sariss level has been made, so go ahead with that one. Don't worry about texturing right now though, just caulk everything.

lol I forgot to post, but it got done yesterday.

Texture looks great btw, no issues I can see.

Scratch that I'll update today I promise.

Welcome!

Oh whoops I forgot the models lol. I'll update the pk3 later today.

You can make them cast and receive shadow, that's all I know. I tried misc_model but couldn't get normal and spec to work with it, it just didn't work no matter what I tried in the shader.

That's ok, I'm only redoing this small level until lighting is all sorted code-wise.

About time lol.

I did the initial port of rend2 MP to SP, while SomaZ and uniqueone helped out with a few issues I had. SomaZ is now adding & tweaking things, so it's now his baby.

So I've changed all entities to be black when there's no lighting unlike vanilla, which has a minimum light. Other than that, I don't think I've made any other DF2-specific changes to the GL2 renderer. I pretty much leave renderer stuff to SomaZ now, so he has everything how he wants it without interference.

About that error. It could be an unsupported shader blend?

Yeah, the first pic in your last post.

Btw, I've added 07yun_gl2.pk3 to the dropbox folder so you can test out the textures as you go. It contains the map, map source & all original textures re-sized so you can simply drop in the new ones. Just be sure they are the exact same size as the original ones in the pk3. Most of the map is finished, just a few things here and there that I'm still working on. Lighting is to be considered "done" or just about.

P.S

I've been naming my "specular" textures <texturename>_RMO.tga

R = roughness

M = metalness

O = occlusion

Better than just spec yeah?
