Trunk 7/28

Post by Sick0 »

HI,

Just wanted to say how well the graphics are looking in the game! Just need to get some new models going now. :)

Thanks, Sick0!

Yes, the graphics are ace. We do need new models as you say.

Check out Art Revolution mod ;) http://artrev2100.sourceforge.net/download.html
We have normal and specular mapping.

I rewrote the shader to use the normalmap alpha channel for specularity. If a model doesn't use normalmaps, the diffuse is used instead, preserving backwards compatibility. ;)

well.. alpha channel isn't the same as a monochrome specular map, but still works as a good start. :-)

... or I don't understand something... :|

@Mangust: while editing is not entirely trouble free, the alpha channel can very well be used to describe any monochrome texture (values ranging from 0 to 1). Just avoid using black, because many image programs reduce the RGB values on entirely transparent pixels to black. My workaround is to increase the brightness by 1 before transferring the specmap to the alpha channel.
@Jonix don't take it personally, it's just general forum etiquette :)

Okay, but anyway, specular mapping doesn't work without normal maps in wz, at least on win OS.
