Spring RTS Engine

Try maintenance branch of engines (the numerically latest one is usually the best). The maintenance is supposed to be as widely compatible with the old GPUs as possible. Every sane game nowadays use some version of maintenance as the game engine. If you start something new and you feel brave enough,...

Some great maps (Ravaged v2) and assets (some tree types) depend on TIF textures.

Someone need to update the assets first.

If this is started perhaps we could convert all assets to DDS and deprecate other formats when the time comes.

After I pronounced my attempts to plant PBR on spring soil dead several months ago, I've actually come across a good way to estimate the environment irradiance from the reflection map. The lack of sane radiance was the bane of my previous PBR implementations, because units looked vastly different on...

Sure, why not. A care should be taken and investigation should be done on the order of drawing, so we don't draw glass surfaces after or before the certain CEGs or LUPS effects, but other than that I dont immediately see any obstacles.

Working on to support semi-transparent (glass) pieces of a model. The current shader (far from ideal tho) can produce different looks depending on the tex2 values: "Non-metallic, 70% transparent" https://springrts.com/phpbb/download/file.php?mode=view&id=10895&sid=5bf6fb99c01680ebc...

Feel free to take transformation math from https://github.com/lhog/spring-ssao/blo ... .frag.glsl

You can post your widget/gadget and shader code, so it's easier to understand what you are trying to do

Do you have deferred shading enabled ? AdvMap/AdvModel shading ? Are you seeing normal map if you use test widget I suggested https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/blob/master/LuaUI/Widgets/dbg_deferred_test.lua ? Please follow the check-up steps I described here: https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic...

As promised before, here are some pics. I changed widget such that only bottom part of the screen is SSAO enabled (another words you should compare top part of the screen to the bottom one). https://springrts.com/phpbb/download/file.php?id=10756 https://springrts.com/phpbb/download/file.php?id=10755...

This is easy to explain. Looking at your CUS materials I can see, that deferred definitions are missing in https://github.com/EvolutionRTS/Evolution-RTS/blob/master/ModelMaterials/1_normalmapping.lua , which is responsible for rendering units with normal maps. CUS is structured such, that if you don...

I'll also post some pics here when I'm back from vacation.

There were several screenshots posted in the BAR discord channel. Unsure if you have an invitation to be there, alternatively you might want to have a look yourself. It usually takes around 5 minutes to set up a widget.

Makes sense. I never tested on Onyx. Thanks again.

Perhaps the normal maps from DNTS are such that they make already dark maps, look even darker. Maybe I can add additional checks in the SSAO pass so dark areas are not getting even darker or limit the SSAO to models only.

Hi. Thanks for reporting. I'll be on vacation for several days. In the meantime can you do me a favor: 1) Can you tell if other deferred widgets like lights, bloom work for you? 2) Did you change anything in my source code? 3) Can you make screenshots on some brighter map and upload them as attachme...

There are a number of configuration parameters that affect the performance and quality to some degree. The default settings are tunned for quality (although artistic appearance might need some adjustments). Generally it is certainly not free. Last time I checked the impact was around 10 out of 130 F...

Hi. I've decided to make a public release of SSAO widget. If you don't know what SSAO is, please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_space_ambient_occlusion You can also notice how it works on this side-to-side pic: https://springrts.com/phpbb/download/file.php?mode=view&id=10730 The m...

Yeah I kinda guessed the meaning. What I really wanted to know was why do that in the first place?

Shadow mapping will be done for units and features anyway so it is not about performance.

Are standard spring shadows not good enough? Are some nuances of visuals not covered by standard shadows?

I'm not sure I know what the baked shadow in spring map context is.
Can someone enlighten me?

@PicassoCT does my code work?

Hi! Thanks for the interest! If your request is about the sun color, then this https://github.com/lhog/spring-models-pbr/commit/0fa47ba724bbc86756d84ee8bbe16dff9b31f58f should do the trick. NB: I haven't tested this yet, if it doesn't work, please report back. NB2: PBR doesn't operate with "amb...
