the symptom is that glquake defaults to 16bpp on any cards that support it (not sure if this is supported in modern days) and you'll get discolored palette colors in your textures, since glquake also uses the framebuffer bit depth to determing texture bit depth.
Most people may not notice it, but if you are used to 32bpp and you look at 16bpp, you may notice the colors are "off" on familiar textures -- statusbar seems a shade too green, purple sky textures don't seem right, etc. you can see 16bpp artifacts VERY clearly on levels with fog, because fog creates smooth gradients, which render much more cleanly the more bits per pixel you have.
Got it, thanks. I was a little puzzled because that QIP text made it sound like there was some bug above and beyond actually setting the texture depth.
BTW is this an issue only for original GLQuake, or do Fitzquake DP etc. have similar behaviors? I wish the fog banding in quake weren't so bad, the only fog colors that look good to me are very dark and very subtle but that's asking for green and orange stripes :(
can we have -64bpp please? just, you know, add more bits. DX10-generation video cards (Geforce8800/Radeon HD2400) removed all dithering for 16-bit color, so it would have to be reimplemented via post-process shader, which is possible, and I have also done it in GLSL before.
It helps to know the time context when that bit on the QIP page quote was written when cards had dithering and Maddes was using a Voodoo-based card which doesn't support 24/32bit color anyway, hence the whole misleading "no difference" thing. Further to the fact that Voodoo cards dithered and THEN filtered their image to mask the dithering leading to their infamously blurry appearance. and GLQuake defaults to 16-bit color since that's all 3dfx could initialize on. Gotta leave out the hassle of setting -bpp 16 for those mainstream performance-desperate 3dfx users. EntEd [EDIT]
Posted by Jonan [121.72.119.122] on 2014/07/02 08:14:13 Hey all. Had to reinstall a lot of programs recently, and I've lost my EntEd reg key. Any one know where I can get one? Cheers. Seanza had been sending verbal abuse to TotalBiscuit constantly before he replied with that, admittedly tasteless, comment.
Maybe if that dude didn't spend so many years in a business he wasn't suited for, he'd be okay right now.
People aren't perfect. It's difficult to impose such impossible standards on someone, I've said far more reprehensible things in my lifetime but the difference between me and TB is that he's (internet) famous.
Having every single one of your comments criticised is not normal, there's something inherently wrong with the way we treat famous people and have these exacting standards to which they must adhere. That tone is awesome. I loVe the map. Reminds me of Aliens for some strange reason. Nice work!
Decent layman's-style Starcraft commentary.
Decent down-to-earth game first looks / reviews. That's what matters to me. You can take your interweb DRAMAZ and shove it. People aren't usually very well equipped to deal with verbal abuse properly.
Hell I'd rather judge the man by his work anyway, he does great things for games journalism. The same is true for Phil Fish, the guy is clearly a talented developer, who cares if he thinks japanese developers need to try harder. Off my pickle. Sock - how dare you have a real life! I'm resisting the temptation to keep working on my map jam map. I feel 'I have done it now', 'it was only ever meant to be a quick thing' etc....
I was going to mark Willem's post in the jam thread as the first use of the n-word on func.
I was terrifyingly wrong: https://www.google.com/search?q=nigger+site%3Acelephais.net My overall average grade was 69.72%, which is an upper second. Or an upper-upper second to be more precise. But I just bumped into my tutor who told me it would get rounded up to a 70%, which will make it a 1st! So I'm pretty happy about that today...
It worked, too, QuakeC now looks a LOT less intimidating lol :) |
