[randomMesh]

yay

[devsh]

OH JESUS i AM TOTALLY PUTTING TESSELLATION INTO DOOM3!!!!!!

[Grumpy]

Nice...

I was going to complain it didnt come in a zip file, but I found the link. That is what I get for trying to rush through too many sites.

Very nice. But for anyone writing Irrlicht patches - please be aware that the license used for Doom 3 is incompatible with the Irrlicht license. Which means when you write a patch please avoid using any code from there as it would put us into legal trouble.

Yay, was waiting patiently for it
Might bring some ideas to my head

[devsh]

I just did the first thing after compiling the game... I HAS REMOVED CD KEY PROTECTION....

Now I will begin the long and tiresome process of swapping their renderer for irrlicht SO I CAN RAPE DOOM WITH GLSL (OOOH GOD SSAO IN DOOM AND NO MORE POLYGONAL HEADS)

You really get way too excited over this kind of stuff

[randomMesh]

I think the Irrlicht community really can benefit from enthusiastic people like him.

I have sikkmod, I'm going to use the enhances textures from it.

However:

-The SSAO doesn't work
-The models are still polygonal
-The Light Shafts never worked
-Depth of Field is appaling
-Soft shadows are not as awesome as should (VSM)
-Every plasma ball (even the plasma gun ones) should be treated as alight source (even a shadow casting one)

I'm going to put deferred/inferred lighting into doom on top of that so you will SEE A LOT OF LIGHTS.
I will also give a try to some global illumination attempts.
AND GET RID OF THE ANNOYING PLASTIC-LOOKING SPECULAR
Plus idTech 4 using irrlicht as a renderer completely would be a cool thing.

[devsh]

ok removeD CD PROTECTION

Now to point 2) Fix ALSA in id Tech 4 cause its apparently a failure (sound is chirpy)

already noticed this before seeing this topic
Totally gonna check it out

[Virion]

maybe we can learn a few things from there for custom animated mesh format? :O

[Cube_]

maybe I should compile this and skip buying the game ^^'

I'd be careful with trying to learn things from production code, you can't really expect a high quality

I think we'd be able to learn much more by reading documentation of these formats or systems
