ah, interesting

Light rays cast from the cycle in all directions that stop when they hit a wall. I transformed them into a headlight:

Hi,

In the third screenshot, the grid pattern on the floor has an extra, lighter pattern toward the player armagetron. Have I gone that long that the grid is no longer the same?

It places a few () sensors in different directions and draws the result as lines. If the density is low (far away from source, close to cam, high screen resolution) you can see it clearly.

I just tried the spotlight against one bot which works well (50-75 fps), but it's quite slow with 4 bots. And I don't like the line strip in the spotlight.

i think "deer in the headlights" just got a whole new meaning.... thats some cool effects you guys have, so when are you going to add lightning and some old guy walking around in a rainsuit with a hook for a hand?.. seriusly though thats some nice eye candy

edit- philip didn't you know we use octagons now?

slightly OT about eyecandy & the ogre discussion:
how about luminosity in/on textures? does anyone know if ogre opens up that possibility?

How about a rotating search light on top of your cycle? This is probably FPS dependent so adjust the amount added to dSpin to change how fast it circles. Not that this has any practicle use.

Code: Select all

#define SENSORS 32
#define ROTATIONCONSTANT (2*M_PI/SENSORS)/4.0
#define LINEALPHA 0.125
 
double size = gArena::SizeMultiplier()*500*sqrt(2);
GLfloat vertices[SENSORS][4];
static REAL dSpin = 0.0;
 
for(int i=0; i<SENSORS; i++) {
    int d = i - SENSORS/2;
    REAL angle = .15*d*ROTATIONCONSTANT + dSpin;
    double s = sin(angle);
    double c = cos(angle);
    gSensor sensor(this,pos,dir.Turn(c,s));
    sensor.detect(size);
    vertices[i][0]=sensor.before_hit.x;
    vertices[i][1]=sensor.before_hit.y;
    vertices[i][2]=pos.x;
    vertices[i][3]=pos.y;
 }

dSpin+=0.01;
if(dSpin >= 6.25) dSpin=0.0;
 
//  sr_ResetRenderState();
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0, 0, 0.8);  // raise to the top of the cycle

(the rest is the same as z-man's post)

Uh oh! A police lightcycle chase!

Feels I've been gone for too long.

Nice texture btw. When was it introduced?

Heh, so where is the cycle rendering code, exactly?

indeed, I'd like to play around with it and see what crazy things can be done, yes yes, excellent, all goes acording to plan.

[Jonathan]

It's in gCycle::Render (at gCycle.cpp:1769 for me, but I added some code above it).

[Lucifer]

Thank you Jonathan.

Any particular reason none of this went into cvs? I'm asking because I'd like to commit it, it's all disabled right now in my local copy, but I'd like to commit it and add the config items for it so I can learn more about the current config system.

[Jonathan]

Because it's slow?
