Question

#20714 posted by Tronyn on 2011/08/22 21:29:46

might be better put in the help wanted thread, but whatever things seem pretty slow around here lately... is there anyone lurking around here who is pretty good with 2d graphics design programs, and would be interested in doing me a favour, namely designing or helping to design the cover of a book? my email's djg164@mail.usask.ca, oh and I should finally be returning to Quake stuff soon, which means ne_ruins will finally be reviewed on Quaddicted and some slight progress on maps should start happening.

#20715 posted by necros on 2011/08/23 23:37:21

what are the eye candy engines these days?

i only know of darkplaces... tenebrae isn't being developed anymore i think?

#20716 posted by Spirit on 2011/08/23 23:49:58

darkplaces.

though the rmq engine is getting great features of a different class (oriented sprites, yeah!).

#20717 posted by necros on 2011/08/23 23:54:04

i was talking about like really eye candy stuff like realtime lighting and shaders.

so darkplaces is the only one then?

also, oriented sprites were already in software quake. do you mean the high res sprites?

Darkplaces and FTE. Both support realtime world lighting and the other stuff.

mh is going crazy with rmqe though, I've heard that the switch to "all shaders" might enable some of what mh calls "shiny specular crap", too. ;-)

Thanks

#20720 posted by necros on 2011/08/24 22:33:21

didn't know about fte.

i hope the two are similar though... o.o

#20721 posted by gb on 2011/08/24 22:48:21

... not always. You might want to find Spike on IRC and just talk to him.

Hmm

#20722 posted by necros on 2011/08/24 23:26:09

been messing about with fte a bit but it looks very much like a client engine, as in, the effect are all engine based with no real control over them. and even though the web page talks about shader support, i couldn't get the ones i've made for DP to load in it.
the only thing it seems like you can do as a mapper is use bump mapping and spec, which i'm not interested in at all.

anyway, DP's pretty popular, so i don't think it's unreasonable to require FQ or DP.

#20723 posted by gb on 2011/08/24 23:32:49

I agree, it's your choice which engine you require. Fitz or DP is a fair requirement, too.

#20724 posted by necros on 2011/08/24 23:38:53

well, with DP, i figure, if you're gonna support fancy shit, may as well go whole hog. :P

tbh, i was actually a little disappointed with the shader system in DP. it's basically Q3 but with quite a few missing shader script commands.

otoh, it's not really fair for DP since i broke my teeth on D3 shaders which are far more powerful.

/shrug

i'll probably only end up using it for water and such anyway. probably needless worrying on my end.
