aw shit that looks awesome. Great work. :D

If you ask me this looks 10x better than Ace of Spades 1.0!

[KomradeKorakoff]

very cute

[Ninja_pig_pro]

I hope Source code is released soon!

Could lighting like this be possible in a game like ace of spades btw? Or iceball, I suppose.

Why wouldn't it?

I have a very limited knowledge when it comes to things like this.

I am secretly working to implement a similar rendering for iceball (without the light casting) :





There is a lot of things to code but it's definitly going to happen

[Jdrew]

you are simply amazing, definitely one for the news letter

[HoboHob]

We will FINALLY have Ace of Spades 1.0 in vanilla Iceball!

And hopefully it won't run like crap on my card like GM's implementation does.

[melchips]

Done.
Smooth lighting and antialiasing added to iceball :


Have fun

[HoboHob]

Anti-Aliasing will destroy my computer :/

Anti-Aliasing will destroy my computer :/

No problem it can be toggled off in clsave/config.json (set antialiasinglevel to 0).
Without anti-aliasing, the edges will look like the screenshots of iceball I posted earlier.

Awesome!, could it be made into a Client for 0.75?

If you really wanted to I guess we could make an injector of some sort. I'm not familiar with WGL context creation though. Also, you'd have to work out how to make it work well at a max distance of 127.5 blocks - Iceball currently uses a fog distance of 60.
