| 00:17.02 | alpha1-2 | a related question: when you shoot the first shot in every style (normal, L, SB ones, etc.) with more powerful cards than the generic ones, like mine (Intel onboard), do you get any very little freezing/pause in screen or not? Somebody also told me that when you quit sky in heaven then you get weird drawings there (I thought it was only for me). Just to compare performances and seeing desing. |
| 00:17.31 | alpha1-2 | design* |
| 00:19.32 | blast007 | sky in heaven? what is that? |
| 00:20.01 | alpha1-2 | there is a variable which you set off I think and sky gets without textures I think |
| 00:20.51 | alpha1-2 | I mixed nouns I think |
| 00:21.19 | alpha1-2 | like deleting sky |
| 00:21.49 | alpha1-2 | let me see... |
| 00:22.20 | blast007 | are you talking about messing with the _drawSky bzdb variable? |
| 00:22.43 | alpha1-2 | must be, not sure, searching |
| 00:25.04 | alpha1-2 | a nowadays example is Alpine Assault, where, if you go very high in roaming mode, the sky gets weird |
| 00:25.42 | blast007 | then don't do that |
| 00:26.16 | alpha1-2 | okay, must be design then |
| 00:31.29 | macsforme | it's actually the ground that isn't being drawn |
| 00:32.36 | alpha1-2 | ah okay |
| 00:32.49 | blast007 | is it to do with a clipping plane? |
| 00:33.17 | alpha1-2 | I am reading/searching just that from code |
| 00:33.40 | blast007 | http://www.falloutsoftware.com/tutorials/gl/gl0.htm I like how the second image could literally be BZFlag ;) |
| 00:33.43 | alpha1-2 | it makes a weird effect, repeating the last drawing |
| 00:34.51 | alpha1-2 | void BackgroundRenderer::resizeSky() { |
| 00:34.53 | alpha1-2 | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:34.54 | alpha1-2 | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:35.57 | macsforme | it's because drawing the ground is disabled (since there's a fake ground), and we don't clear the color buffer between frames, so those pixels have whatever is left over in memory from before |
| 00:37.29 | blast007 | the screen blurs even when the ground is turned on if you go too high |
| 00:39.40 | alpha1-2 | if you go out from those mountains horizontally, you can see the (default?) gray without repetitions |
| 00:40.49 | alpha1-2 | no, I am confused, it's snow grey |
| 00:41.37 | blast007 | if you /roampos 0 0 2000 you can see the ground blur, or /roampos 0 2000 0 you can see the 'sky pyramid' over the world (if you look toward the center and look up and around to blur the sky pyramid a bit) |
| 00:44.37 | alpha1-2 | mountains are not the pyramid in that map right? |
