Maybe v1.03 if we can work out all the kinks

 

Well, wow, that's more progress than I was hoping for!

 

I wouldn't be disgusted to see a vid with a side by side demo of a bit of a walk-through of say mission 1 of say NHAT with say a sample of the HDR vs say the say POTDM.

Hi,   I am the same guy who had done Denton's Enhanced Doom 3 mod, from which the bloom effect is now being used in The Dark Mod. I'd like to integrate my latest implementation of HDR with TDM. You c

I would like to see something like that as well.

a comparison- pic or vidao with hdr on and off would be nice ;)

 

Same answer. :) The current settings are not yet finalized. It's quite possible that what we post right now could look different from a final release. When we feel it's close to a releasable stage, we'll post pics then.

Heh, I see that the water tutorial at modwiki has the fresnel shader in it... So perhaps something like water with a Marble murk... (yeah I'm talking to myself... :laugh:)

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

The guys were running in some complications and are now working on a decent compromise, which should also improve performance compared to the old implementation. All this HDR work has been going on quite some time, so everyone involved is pushing for a releasable state at the moment. This is no "yes" or "no" to your question though... ;)

I don't know I think it looks phenomenal at the moment, and performance doesn't even suffer that much. Although there's still that issue where you are underwater and FPS goes to like 3 fps.

 

Does this only happen with HDR? Under which circumstances on which system and which map?

Using latest SVN checkout, any underwater overlay causes FPS to drop almost to 1 with PostProcess turned on. Same with the Bloom AFAIK.

 

System:

Alienware M17x

2x Nvidia GTX 260M 1GB SLi Alternate Frame Rendering Technique #2

Core 2 Quad @ 2.2 GHz

6 GB DDR3 @ 1066 MHz

400GB Raid 0 7200 RPM

 

Doesn't matter what map, any water that uses the murky wavy effect when you are submerged causes this issue.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Oh forgot to mention, turning off HDR fixes the issue, and I get constant 60 fps underwater. I'll take some screenshots tonight along with a cvar dump so you can see which settings I'm using.

Well, I am suffering from the same issue and I have a single gpu card (NV 8800 GTS). I also had that problem with bloom and I was hoping for the new HDR implementation to fix this issue for me, but it didn't. Maybe we could implement a workaround for users that have this issue. Whenever murky water is entered, postprocessing (or bloom) could be turned off and re-enabled after leaving it again.

Hm, is it definitely the underwater overlay, or the "blur" in the water? We have a water test map, maybe you could run in there and check if it occurs everywhere? If it is a specific thing, we might indeed add a cvar to turn only this off for you.

I won't be home 'till sunday, so I won't be able to check it out now. If AH didn't do it until then, I'll do it and post report here. I'd prefer however if the postprocessing / bloom was temporarily disabled, as removing blur or the overlay will remove a lot of the "underwater feeling".

I think that could be done. The code already tracks when you enter/leave water (for the "AI can see you now less good" effect) and so it should be able to toggle temp. the CVARS on/off.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
