i make a vid on youtube, btw i got my moving bit sorted out

Just use the time uniform, multiply by 10 and use the sin fun

Pixel shader has "time" variable (I highly doubt that), or what do you mean?

devsh · Post by **devsh** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 10:32 pm

seconds since program was linked (at least in shader maker).

anyway I need to look into following:

use 16bit textures (maybe the depth pass??? it only needs 16 bits to encode depth)

my menu options loads 6 images of a ninja star, no transparency (it is only solid or completely transparent).

The function itself loads a 2048x2048 logo texture (the logo's in the game are quite big too) and if that was 16 bit the min sys req would be 192mb of ram. I could also try making some textures smaller

But the urgent are

REDO MY EFFECTS (HDR and stuff) IN SINGLE AND SPLIT SCREEN! And optimise!

FIND OUT wHY tHE AUDIO TAB WOnT COME ON FOR LONGER THAN 3 seconds (it flickers off)

In case you have framerate bigger that 0,0001 fps, seconds are useless I think.

its not a rendering related problem, its just some messed up code i have made when trying to make my tabs not stretched in resolutions different to 4:3. so it does not respond to clicks properly

Ok TODO

fix my effects for split screen and make any combination of them work abd not produce errors

add fresnel effect to my water

make my camera scene node with custom key maps and controlled by joystick

make it possible to not blurr some objects in depth of field

add simple sun moving across the sky

make water dirty (i.e. not see some objects below 1m) but slowly fade away

add an island using terrain generator

speed up rendering of depth pass using instancing or MRT

speed up water rendering somehow

make the terrain generator make caves and overhangs

make sky that changes according to time

water caustics

make global time counter and global wind regulator

make POM Parallax Occlusion Mapping

godrays from the sun (Volumetric Light Scattering)

a little stretch of orange/ halo around sun in sunrise and sunset

make water reflect the sun really brightly

make clouds

grass placed at the right height and slope according to terrain

improve lighting and volume of clouds

make the grass sway on the wind

add global weather controller (wind included) that changes the color of the clouds (i.e. grey for rain)

add rain which refracts (drops)

add storm and lightings

improve terrain generating and vegation by using height maps, population maps (for vegetation) and type of vegetation maps.

make rain that slopes and speeds up according to wind

destroy rain particles when hit the ground and make a splash particle

start work with physics

piss about with fire effects smoke and explosions

buoyancy and floating

full area effect on my terrain

make very decent trees and improve vegetation

praise whoever thought of loading textures in 16 bit. The RAM req is now

160mb RAM for DSL

P.S. I suspect memory leaks while restarting device...

first terrain screenies (without global illumination/ambient term) might seem dark

EDIT: Milestone COMPLETE ADDED LIGHTING TO THE GAME!!!

will be changing above pictures within 24h

There is a video coming,

I am designing input mapping, and stuff.

I am simultaneously recreating water scene node
