No, those are the aliens --------- |

Oh, no pun intended! I guess it's obvious when you run the game and not just look at a still picture. Quote: The blood does splatter in the same direction as the bullets, tough I'll have to strech it in that direction too I guess. Yeah some stretching would make it look even nicer, but it looks nice as it is as well. |

Dang you CursedTyrant! Unfortunately, the OL 2.1 pre-compiled update doesn't blend correctly between I ran into trouble compiling the latest OL SVN in DevC++. What version of OL are you using? __________________________ |

One of the snapshots from a week or two ago, but I have no idea which one. Do those blood stains look better? --------- |

maybe a bit too stretched? [FMC Studios] - [Caries Field] - [Ctris] - [Pman] - [Chess for allegroites] |

I'm not sure, maybe in movement it's right, but as a still picture the blood trail seems too long [FMC Studios] - [Caries Field] - [Ctris] - [Pman] - [Chess for allegroites] |

Quote: Yeah, I know. It's because I'm calculating each ray of light, and it just works drastically slower if I make it any more smooth. Hmm, I found the effect pretty jarring. I think it would be worth hacking up a fix.

It should be fixed to the point that it's no longer noticeable unless you look for it specifically. The frame rate doesn't go down much, as I narrowed the flashlight's cone, which in turn produced a more realistic version of the flashlight. The link is the same: --------- |

Cool, looks great. But now the side of the flashlight's light cone 'snaps' to the edges of the tile, so the flashlight width actually changes as you rotate over that space. It's pretty noticeable, at parts. You should try to avoid applying your fix to the rays at the very edge of the flashlight's light-cone. Also, I noticed I get the 'polygon edges are visible' thing too. I don't get it in the OL demo, so I'm not sure why it's showing up here ...

There's nothing there that would cause it on its own. I only draw the tiles, the objects, blood, and the shadows. Maybe Flad could shed some light on this, wherever he is. EDIT: The link above is updated. It's about as smooth as I can make it. Besides, it's not as if anyone will notice a little bit of jittering on the edges of the flashlight in a fast paced shooter. EDIT2: I always loved a good flamethrower. --------- |

The latest flashlight effect is great. Nice job! Regarding the polygon edges, it's almost definitely to do with OpenLayer internals, so, yeah, Flad would be the one to ask. Looks like there's a missing GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE, except that these are probably drawn as QUADs, so I wouldn't think you'd need to specify anything like that ...

Can't decide which looks better: {"name":"589822","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/e\/ee0e0be4f3a85fb35e2e92da955ad537.jpg","w":368,"h":340,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/e\/ee0e0be4f3a85fb35e2e92da955ad537"} --------- |

Although you said it is only Windows program I tried it in Linux through Wine. Unfortunately screen was mostly filled with black but that is most likely OL/AGL problem. I did saw the framerate, flashlight and a big dot in the lightcone. FPS was way too erradic to get a decent number. With shadows and flashlight it was jumping around 150-450. From the screenshots it looks quite nice. Reminded me of a game called "Tapan Kaikki" that I once enjoyed quite a bit http://www.jonneweb.net/pelit/file/1233/tapan-kaikki-4:-bloodshed/ __________ |

If I could get AllegroGL to work in Debian, I could look into making a .deb file, which should work on Ubuntu as well. Or just compile a Debian binary. --------- |

Quote: Can't decide which looks better: I think the top one looks more exaggerated, hence 'cartoony', while the bottom one looks more 'real'. Which is better will probably depend on the rest of the art -- I think 'real' is probably more fitting, for you. Quote: I tried it in Linux through Wine. Wine and Allegro-based programs don't play nice, IIRC. Quote: If I could get AllegroGL to work in Debian You could try asking for help in the "Installation, Setup & Configuration" forum -- there's a fair chance Bob or someone else could help you through, or at least figure out why it's broken and start working on a fix.

It would be next to useless to anyone else though. Just tar gzip the result and then everyone can read it. Quote: There were some issues with keyboard, though. Keyboard and mouse, actually. Can anyone check if this has been fixed in a recent release of Wine? |

CursedTyrant, if you could somehow "combine" the two flamethrower effects, I think that would look best. The top one looks more like fire, but it's a bit unrealistic, while the bottom one is realistic, but it looks a bit too much like smoke. |

Make the 1st part orange->yellow and the 2nd part grey like smoke. (See the openlayer demo) |
