Soft Particles, Dynamic Lighting and DX9 wonderfulness in FW:ToW

If ENB is a Toyota Camry, then this is more like a Porsche 911.

That’s just not fair.

So finally it can be braked.

Is that is a is a DLL or something? I’m still guessing. :roll:

Looks awesome

So… when do we get to play with it though? Seriously… i fell very teased right now, lolz

nice to have a team 'eh

[Forsaken]

Pushing the boundaries of FL to the max! Great job guys!

[LancerSolurus]

Excellent work indeed!

On a side note, could you post some of the articles you used to get the deferred rendering to work?

BTW, voted for this mod…

[TheDvDMan]

Awsome! I saw it also in Crossfire.
BTW how is it done? With some C editing?

[Guest]

Excellent work, i suddenly feel like a total amateur…

[Cannon]

Yep, great work. Good on you guys. It looks great. I vote for you too…XD.

[Kuze]

So cool O.o and also the turret view is actually a turret view…nice.

[Sushi]

Thanks for the kind words, fellas (and votes :)). It’s all W0dk4’s coding genius and FFs beautiful effects! They’ve made the graphics in this game really pop from the screen.

[Gisteron]

the game deserves it. thank you, gentlemen and keep it up.

This has nothing to do with Crossfire. Crossfire does have lights on some weapon effects IIRC, however they are also bound to the old way of FL’s bugged lighting rendering system.

Hey LS,

actually I couldnt really find a “tutorial” like article about deferred rendering… I basically browsed through the internet and learned by doing.

Looks you need to do some programming for it. But how you done this in FL w0dk4? You done some new render lib or made something like ENB?

Share the technology
I don’t like starwars, and would like to see this in common FL

The plugin will be released some time after FWToW is itself released. Then just about everyone will be free to include it in their own mod

And just so you understand the difference, this can run 1000 lights simultaneously (there’s no limit, but we’ve only tested up to about a thousand so far). FL, by default, can run 4.

To be a bit more precise, this can run infinite lights per object (or lets say, per pixel), whereas FL is restricted to 4

The other advantage is that no lights need to get culled, which is FL’s main problem: It culls lights not by distance, but rather by some other method, like first come, first serve. This results in bugged lighting quickly when there are more than 4 lights per object (i.e. on a Star Destroyer).

FF, how long we have to wait?
