GLSL Shaders

[hoodedice]

Inocudom or RBA, can I please have the instructions to apply patch and compile?

That is something you have to ask RealBadAngel for.

Grab the sources (whole package) and compile it:
https://github.com/RealBadAngel/minetest/archive/generate_normals.zip
theres an option in main menu to turn the feature on

Will this be the same as minetest_master along with your implement? In any case, I will be compiling it...

Will you upload the build when you are done? Others will be able to test it that way.

...Minetest is copying Minecraft now (With the names...) I mean the GLSL shaders from Minecraft... I think the developer of the MC GLSL shaders should post those things with the same name. No matter what game but this is copying!

Lol, this guy really thinks that GLSL is a name invented by Minecraft :D

Now, now... Not everybody knows everything about anything.

That made perfect sense. :P :D

Not to mention that MC doesn't support GLSL shaders by default... It's added via mods.

Also, since these shaders are now in the vanilla game, why am I not seeing the fancy water effects from page 1? Am I missing something? I've tried all the GLSL texture packs I could find, and still just clear, non-reflective water. :/ I'm on Intel Ivybridge graphics on a 64-bit Linux laptop with a dual-core processor.

Something truly wonderful happened today.

@RBA: This commit looks like an entire rewrite?

Kudos to RBA. It's pretty darn awesome.

Great feature indeed. Thank you!

With the automatic generation of normal maps, it appears that only bump mapping works. The parallax occlusion effect does not appear to happen with that feature (pixels don't actually move nor divide, but only change color.)

I can confirm. I'd like to see this fixed too if possible. Hope RBA can find time to look at it.

Parallax needs premade normalmaps, it doesnt work with the on the fly calculations.
I dont think it could be possible to achieve it, since it would have to calculate more than one normal map pixel per texel.

Then there would have to be a way to save the generated normal maps. It is the only way that I can see.

What does parallax occlusion do? I didn't notice a difference between enabled and disabled parallax occlusion yet.

Atm, theres just one TP that uses it:
https://github.com/RealBadAngel/HavenNG/tree/master/256x
Option itself does nothing if there are no normal maps with height in alpha channel...

Ive made such code, but then my 4gb box run out of memory on VanessaE's survival server ;)

So it works without bumpmapping too, doesn't it?

In theory yes, it needs just height of a pixel. But it is provided by image that consist RGB - normal map and A - height. So you have both effects aviable by providing just one file.

Could something like a reflection map for light reflections be stored in the texture too?

[MirceaKitsune]

+1 for that! I heard RBA is still working on adding reflections for water. But IMO they shouldn't be coded as an option for water or fluids only, but a shader option any material can use. That way we can make metal blocks shiny and stuff!

Yes, yes, yes!

I hope that works out really soon. :D It would be really amazing for people with higher power computers. If you don't have one, then just disable it in the settings menu. That is something I like about MT....

My computer isn't very fast in comparison to other ones and sauerbraten with shaders works very fast with bumpmapping and reflections. I just play this game because of these shaders. The water looks realistic(my opinion), too.
I don't think reflections cause more lag than bumpmapping.
