SoF2Xreal

bOyka8 — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 20:33:57 -0000

I was wondering if you could do the same but for Soldier of Fortune II - Double Helix cause we like the gameplay it has but the graphics could use a bit of improvement like real/fake bumpmapping, bloom, hdr etc. These things could really improve the game as they will not make a new GOOD sof2

SoF2 is a bit older than ET so it could use a bit more of improvement.

Or if you can't , maybe we could look into it.

Automatically added etx_ prefix for maps

donmichelangelo — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 11:52:41 -0000

At some point of development it might be useful, perhaps if the protocol version will be changed in the next future, to have a etx_ prefix automatically added to the map name. This would prevent that someone loads an old map and cannot use the newest ET-XreaL features. If I type /devmap goldrush it will load up etx_goldrush instead of the old vanilla goldrush map, just a idea...

ETxreal - please add alphaGen param normalzfade to shader

IRATA [*] — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 23:24:24 -0000

Param 'normalzfade' is not implemented yet. But it's used in ET. Valid params for alphaGen are:

typedef enum {
AGEN_IDENTITY,
AGEN_SKIP,
AGEN_ENTITY,
AGEN_ONE_MINUS_ENTITY,
AGEN_NORMALZFADE, // Ridah
AGEN_VERTEX,
AGEN_ONE_MINUS_VERTEX,
AGEN_LIGHTING_SPECULAR,
AGEN_WAVEFORM,
AGEN_PORTAL,
AGEN_CONST
} alphaGen_t;

Increase the sound cache default value (com_soundmegs)

IRATA [*] — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 07:52:23 -0000

The current value of 24MB isn't up to date :/ some maps use up to 160MB of sounds ... let's avoid expansive i/o operations

change line 41 of [xreal/ET-XreaL] / src / engine / client / snd_mem.c

from

#define DEF_COMSOUNDMEGS "24" // (SA) upped for GD

#define DEF_COMSOUNDMEGS "160"

surfaceparm demage-types

Eonfge — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 10:12:13 -0000

surfaceparm demage-types (proposed by daz2007)

surfaceparm nukage: -5hp/s
surfaceparm hellslime: -10hp/s
surfaceparm lava: -20hp/s

Based on the old Quake/Doom metric.

ET:X - add an auto updater for the game

IRATA [*] — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 06:44:30 -0000

A big problem of the ET scene is the splitting between 2.55 and 2.60 ET. ET:X should avoid the same mistake in future and should grant all players are playing the same (latest) version of the game.

If there is a new release version of ET:X server and client should be updated automatically.

Better Audio

mew4 — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 21:11:17 -0000

its Great for ET to have a Up to Date Renderer, But the Ageing Sound System is Left Untouched, maybe have Xreal Audio has well as Xreal Graphics :)
Direct audio is also Very Buggy on Windows Vista/7 since it is not Hardware Accelerated anymore.

I Strongly Recommend Xaudio2

surfaceparm marks

Eonfge — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 11:31:37 -0000

#surfaceparm nomarks
Causes the renderer to not draw bullet impacts and explosions of all sorts on a certain material, This is very useful for a lamp fitting, with an alpha that would otherwise be visible. On the other hand. It's not specific enough.

#surfaceparm noBulletMarks
#surfaceparm noExplosionMarks
These 2 proposed parameters allows a material to be better divined. Sand for example: Sand leaves no bullet marks... but it does leave explosion marks. The other way around (something that imperative to explosions but suffers bullet impacts) is a little more difficult to imagine, but such new parameters give more freedom to designers.
