Moving to v1.0.00

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 1:52

Yes, that's correct. No more 0.9.x versions!

After updating to the current ZDoom code GZDoom is no longer based on an unofficial version so I decided to finally go to 1.0.

This version also contains a major reorganization of the rendering data which hopefully will make adding new features easier in the future.

The first results of this are already in here:

- Support for additive lights. Additive lights don't look as good as normal multiplicative lights but they require far less resources so they may be a choice if performance is critical. To use them either add 'additive' to the light definitions in GLDEFS or use thing types 9810-9814.

-Shader support for warping textures. They are disabled by default though because they most likely require some more recent hardware to work well. If you want to check it out enable the feature in the menu.

-While redoing the rendering organization I was also able to optimize skybox rendering so it no longer needs a stencil buffer if there is only one skybox. A result of this is far better performance in some levels.

this is based on the svn code randy recently released? is it floating point? or just part of it

Great news Graf!

No floating point yet. It only means that all the .96x features are now 'official'.

Awesome stuff!

@Xtife: there are still some major bugs in the svn version that make it to unstable to for use still.

Wow. *In cheesy Infomercial "actor" voice* But Graf, how does this affect me?

You got the shader depth fog working yet?

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 10:02

No. I want to restructure the fog handling first so that I can better switch between different fog shaders.

Hmm, for some reason I can't enable the warp shader, just forces it to false.

What does it say in the console? This effect happens when the shader can't be set.

Any other features that're planned for 1.0.00?

There are no error messages I can see. Just a bunch of 'Init Shader *: @' (where @ = some character that obviously isn't part of the font

)

Can you post your startup log?
