Aislinn Report post Posted January 18, 2008 The only "odd" thing I noticed so far was the colors seem a LOT brighter. The before and after images are below in respective order (before and after.) NOTE: my screen's not really this dark, not sure why the images are so dark, but the color contrast (from before to after) is indeed this drastict. I noticed this too. I wear the white robe and it now looks as bright and stark as though it was lit up from within. Also when I turn the screen, I get very stark shadow effects, much more stark than before.

DormantSouL Report post Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) I've the same result: XP SP2 930mhz PIII/ 384MB (will soon be upgrading to IBM 6x86 2gb & will retest) nvidia gforce 6200 Performance wise, no decipherable difference other than the char brightness & contrast: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EDIT] I as well noticed this alteration in the midst of wondering: The name, hps, heath, appear at a fixed level below the creature. About the same hight as a ground creature, such as a raccoon. Falcons have the same oddity. This effect also makes the targets difficult to engage, since it's actual positioning is in the correct location (below the tag). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EDIT] Another 'tag' issue: Tags do not fall when creatures meet their demise.

I tried the shaders/* files from both CVS and the download as they are different. On the machine that used the vertex programs, I enabled and disabled use by moving the shader files in and out. I'd say the FPS was slightly increased from (68-70) without, to (70-74) with. This machine is a 2GHz Intel duo. With the vertex programs in use and surrounded by the phantoms, the CPU often scaled down to 1,2GHz and about the half the CPU time was IO bound. When vertex programs were not in use, the CPU was normal full speed and there was little IO usage visible. This later is rather variable and difficult to quantify apparently changing with the number of phantoms around. Others have noted the creature banner height and brightness issues.

ago Report post Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) GL Intercept reports that glProgramStringARB generates the GL_INVALID_OPERATION error GL ERROR - Function glProgramStringARB generated error GL_INVALID_OPERATION I added an extended error check with glGetString(GL_PROGRAM_ERROR_STRING_ARB) right after glProgramStringARB.

LabRat Report post Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) infos.log generated and populated as expected. I noticed around a 20% improvement in frame rate immediately when running el_shaders.exe on my geforce 6600 512MB. I did have a strange issue when running the latest CVS - pictures speak louder than words so here goes: click the image for the full size version The meshes all seemed to converge in the middle of the character at the feet, very weird indeed Edited January 18, 2008 by LabRat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DormantSouL Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Experiencing same odd effect as in previous versions, noted here: Old & New This time, it was not a school or room that caused it. It started immediately after a nearby player used restore spell, in the open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulrih Report post Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) The reflections in water are not correct for animals that are partially underwater. It happens for me only when the frame buffer is turned off. Take a look: http://www.catz.yoyo.pl/el/elscreen020.png The rabbit is underwater, but you can still see a reflection as he was walking on the water. Edit: Players reflections are ok.

DormantSouL Report post Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) I've noticed in 3 races so far, an issue with cloaks (all). This effect does not seem present in the smaller races, dwarf & below. I have not come across any other tall races yet, to see, but I would assume the same issue. Shoulders slightly show through cloaks.

Maybe ~5-10 FPS faster with CVS. I've had some of the same problems as others where colors are either too bright or dark. Also the same issue with tags. I didn't have the same problem with The Wraith though. He shows up fine. [Edit] all transparent objects in IOTF look fine aswell. I've had an issue similar to what Ulrih described. Here it does affect the player models reflection. I summoned a beaver and I get the exact result as Ulrih The geometry from the water reflection seems to stick up above the surface of the water (ie cloak and legs are sticking up above the water.) As seen here.. It only happens in deep water though (above the knee for me.) The little pond near beam is fine. Enabling/Disabling Frame Buffer Support doesn't seem to make a difference though. [Edit]Rev. 1.2 of anim.vert and anim_shadow.vert made a HUGE difference for lighting. It loks much better now. Edited January 23, 2008 by Nintenduh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
