bug hunting 2.3

[rufsketch1]

looks like z-fighting more than a texture problem :\.

[morfar]

I found a texture problem here on downer:

I fixed the z-fighting and I made the grate texture transparent. Not sure what else you could mean

[rufsketch1]

argh, i cant stand this! it looks really really awful. please, for goodness sake, someone re-enable self shadowing on wielded weapons?

also, another bug. hdr lighting seems to disable bloom when they are combined, and does nothing when on by it's self.

[003]

You can only use HDR or bloom, not both. I don't know why HDR does nnothing for you but I think it is a lot more realistic than bloom.

[esteel]

HDR and bloom are basically the same! Bloom is faster but more likely to create a moiré effect.. and yes HDR overrules bloom if both are on.

[rufsketch1]

esteel, it isnt that bloom is being over ruled, it's that it's being shut off. and hdr isn't working at all.

[esteel]

I just tried it, r_hdr IS more subtile then r_bloom but its working even when r_bloom is 0.. thats in the very last test download (that was not announced and for 'internal' testing)

[rufsketch1]

oh....ok.

well, in the release i have it doesnt work at all. i guess you've fixe dit then.


so is the weapon shadow thing going to be changed for the final release or what?


cuz i think it would be very good to change it back.






but you knew that .

[esteel]

No the weapon thing will not be changed, do not expect such huge change to the rendering half day before the release

[rufsketch1]

is it really so large a change?

i figured it wouldn't be too much work since the code was already there at one point...
