Information I Found Concerning Bump Mapping (Normals)

[Inocudom]

I looked around on YouTube today and found a few good sources of information concerning how to do bump mapping. The links to them are below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvMbXUuq8UY - Normal maps for 2D based textures and tools
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOvd5zBicKc - How to Make a Normal Map for Minecraft

If you don't already know this, RealBadAngel added bump mapping support to the current development version of Minetest. In order for textures to be able to make use of the bump mapping feature, they must have normal.png files associated with them. The videos above show how those can be made.

There is a script included with the normalmapping code (or there was supposed to be anyway) that, with the help of The GIMP, will automatically generate normalmaps, given the appropriate parameters (there is help/usage info available).

Tell me if I did everything right.
First I created a normalmap named default_grass_normal.png and put it in the same directory as default_grass.png. Then used the latest git of minetest then set enable_shaders = true and enable_bumpmapping = true in minetest.conf.
When starting the game I have neither shaders nor bumpmaps.

Try enable_shaders = 2. That should do the trick.

black textures. and my drivers are up to date and my card is new (gtx 600 series)

FORGET THAT. i got it working on a different build, but it looks horrible as shit. it works good only for high-res texpacks.

[Inocudom]

It might look better with a 32px or 64px texture pack that supports bump mapping (VanessaE's texture packs are a good way to perform such testing.)

Also, the black textures are a bug somewhere between Minetest and Irrlicht 1.8. Use Irrlicht 1.7.x and it'll work fine.

Use my builds, they use Irrlicht 1.7.2 (IIRC).
