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…

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.

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

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).
