[CTF] Reservoir r6 (=v4r2)

  • I fixed the performance issues with water reflections (now only 2 renders origins, not 5, 7 or even more...), especially needed for 2.5.2 clients, and choose appropriate visibility parameters. Some parts were retextured.
    The gameplay is based on v4 and former, just few ammo items tweaks. It was easier to work from my last release, and since ai's version (5th) wasn't really successful or played on public servers, I decided to not backport his modifications.

  • does that mean that they have fixed the water shader now? :p

    also, is the colored parts intentionally unshaded?

    other then that, looking good
    Why has a developer ever needed any reason other than "it looks bloody awesome?"

    The bug is fixed in darkplaces svn, but I have no idea when nexuiz 2.5.3 will be released. So people using a vanilla engine still have to enable reflections to see water properly. In the shader I removed the refractions pass and used one single water plane so most people should get decent performance (must better than reservoir_r4 at least).

    yes the blue and red textures are actually emitting light. But indeed with hdr bloom on the screenshot it's a bit too much...

  • I've been waiting for a version of this with fixed water. The new textures are a great bonus too! :D
    Possibly not the worst mapper in the world.

  • The natural textures are taken from tZork's Temple of Eternal Night. :wink:
