Iceball Project

[Articsledder]

Are there any plans to adjust block shading/coloring? Right now they blend together almost too well, when tunneling/indoors it gets a little disorienting.

[Sonarpulse]

voxlap uses brightness coefficients for all 6 faces face, and what looks like noise per block. Grease is already planning the former, but the latter might be useful too.

[CommieBuffalo]

There will never be an SMG. Stop asking for one. This is a final decision, and will not change.
Go play 1.0 if you want an SMG.

But a MMG is still an option, right? Right?

[HoboHob]

I was wondering... since RootDynastys CubeRoot project is open source, we could perhaps implement his OpenGL renderer as an engine feature with Iceball. Now I am not sure how he made it since I haven't looked at his code, and it may be more trouble than its worth. But maybe worth a shot. Of course we should probably contact him too.

[Sonarpulse]

I briefly looked at this before. Cube root is C++ making linking a bit harder. I would wait until GreaseMonkey irons out render.c a bit more, so there there's a standard API, and then try to combine it.

One of the problems that needs to be fixxed is that while tunneling or in a dark place everything sort of blends in and really makes everything seem weird !!!!!!

[Jordach]

Do you need a slap in the face? I said assault rifle. Not SMG. Something more sensible than an SMG.

Edit: Or did I read that wrong and you were quoting what you were agreeing with. Nah, that's not it.

You mean sort of like the 3-Burst M16? Or the M4Ax?

There will be no new guns at all until other features are complete, and even then, the first one to be added will most likely be a shotgun.

There is a lighting test mod in the repo that GreaseMonkey put together, but it is not complete (lighting doesn't update). It will come at some point.

I am aware that's a bit of code which needs bulletproofing.
Can you please do "bt full"?

Yep.

Has anyone looked into anti-aliasing?

EDIT: I just got Iceball built finally, I wrote a tutorial for building on windows on the wiki

Any ways I could improve? Any chance this may get added to the Github? This kind of definitive guide would have helped me a lot. I'm still sort of a nooby with anything other than .NET.

[Moghard]

It doesn't work, the black "iceball" window appears for 1 second and then disappears, why?

I think you need to improve a lot.

For zLib:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=mingw

will just tell you to use win32/makefile.gcc instead, so there is no reason in typing it. There isnt a point either in copying the makefile to the root of the zlib folder, just use

Code: Select all

Make -f win32/Makefile.gcc

instead.

For lua:

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile

doesn't work. The proper command is

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile mingw

. However, that is useless because

Code: Select all

make mingw

works the same way.

For all in general:
You didn't really quite specify what files to copy and where.

For building iceball:

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile.mingw

isn't really correct. Use either

Code: Select all

make clean all -f Makefile.mingw

for an unoptimized build or

Code: Select all

make clean all -f Makefile.mingw CC=gcc CFLAGS_EXTRA="-msse2 -mfpmath=sse

for the optimized build.

I've tried to follow each of the steps without editing them, but they don't work.

Still nothing, it disappears.
