Previous version thread: 0.8.3.x

[Krutan]

FINALLY!! Great work guys!

Edit: Holy *peep*, just look at them clouds

[Acetone]

Yeah!


Awesome work Outerra team!

[balfourcraig]

Something isn't working. When I start Outerra a bunch of red errors show up at the bottom. OpenGL to do with clouds I think. I hit login and it says loading planetary data, then dies with a fatal error.

I've attached screenshots of the errors below.

Really hoping this is fixed since the new clouds sound amazing!

[HiFlyer]

Still playing around, but looks great so far.

One problem: Clicking on "location" with the mouse does nothing. Fortunately clicking "F2" still works. 

Second unresolved issue: Still getting rhythmic hitching in Talkeetna and some other areas. (really hoping that goes away some day)

3rd Issue: Yellow Perf warning about the Cessna being "Blocked" for various amounts of time.

What GPU and driver version is it?

[zzz]

interesting. so what are the input variables for add_spotlight_source?

[Varldsligist]

Thank you! I does show that the clouds are a work in progress, however just having them there brings so much more life into Outerra. What I'm personally most exited for are the lights, I have yet to try them out, but from what I can tell they should look awesome! The revamped location menu is also superb, user friendliness increased 150%.

Let me end with a question to you, the more experienced and tech-savvy users out there; what will this update yield in terms of modding options? What will it enable you to create? I imagine streets lights in the Alaska mod?

[balfourcraig]

"What GPU and driver version is it? "

I have a GT 240, with what I think is the latest driver. Downloading the latest now so we will see if that makes any difference. It was working up until this update though.

EPIC UPDATE Cameni and co. !!!!

 ... have that location bar not opening by mouse too. Also, Urals gets blocked too for few milliseconds sometimes (mostly till 80ms).

  ...  GTX570 (347.25 version), intel core i5-2500 3.30Ghz ...

 P.S.: if ya post some details about light-source definition constants, ill be the happiest modder ever !   Also, can we change the cloud-base height somehow ?

EDIT: ... i also found that textures we used as "illuminated" are now much more darker in night-time (no more lighted instruments panel details )

Also a little test with AntiAliasing :

 - FXAA :



- MSAA 2x



 - MSAA 2x + FXAA



 - MSAA 4x




 ... there is some sort of "white aura" around trees and some objects when clouds are behind them ...  hope it helps, Cameni.

interesting. so what are the input variables for add_spotlight_source?

Will be adding docs into wiki, but quickly:
    //@param offset model-space offset relative to the bone or model pivot
    //@param dir light direction
    //@param size diameter of the light source (reflector)
    //@param angle light field angle [deg]
    //@param edge soft edge coefficient, 0..1 portion of the light area along the edges where light fades to make it soft
    //@param color RGB color and intensity of the light emitter
    //@param fadeout time to fade after turning off
    //@param joint joint name to attach the light to (default empty string for body)

[balfourcraig]

Updated graphics driver for GT240, still the same. Crashing at start-up, fatal error.

[cameni]

Can we change the cloud-base height somehow ?

Right now only through console (alt+c)

Code: [Select]

.bind e environment
e.set_cloud_params(5000, 2000)

First parameter being the base cloud altitude, the second is max height of clouds.

Updated graphics driver for GT240, still the same. Crashing at start-up, fatal error.

Looks that older Nvidia GPUs are using different (not updated) code paths in shaders, even though drivers are new. We'll have to test it with an older Nv card.

Thanks a lot ! ... jumping right into doing some more MAGIC !
