Hey, how about allowing ' in identifier names? It's pretty neat when you want to say "this variable is related to that one with a little difference".

Exactly like that.

However, they don't kick in until you get kinda near them. A consequence of mipmapping I think

Durp just realized that I forgot to rework specular reflections to work in a deferred shading environment.

My reaction was due to having tested that scene before and gotten different results. I'm pretty sure its because of the filtering I'm doing and forgetting to reimplement specular related lighting.
However its always nice to have new things to test on, but its hard to tell that the bumpmapping is working because of how shitty it is right now
No map VS normal map 1 VS normal map 2

The pictures pretty much look the same, however flicking between them in engine I can tell the minor difference the maps have.
The last one I'd say looks the best.

Are you using the color map texture as the base color? It shouldn't have any lighting applied.
[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;48647397]Are you using the color map texture as the base color? It shouldn't have any lighting applied.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I just mistyped there. My textures are going by the book.
I meant I'm trying to reintegrate all my old functions, such as specular lighting to materials, except now just like with a normal map I'm implementing it as a specular map.
I'm looking through my old shaders and comparing them too my new ones, looking at all the stuff that I cut while transitioning over to a deferred renderer, and noticed that Specular lighting or whatever is the last thing I need to implement. So, even if I fixed the filtering on my normal map (still presumably that being the issue), I wouldn't be able to get an identical shot yet until all the old features are reimplemented. That was my point is all.
Layered on top of that, I still need to figure out where in my new rendering loop I can tack in skybox rendering.

If anyone knows anything about specular maps, would you be able to confirm whether or not I'm on the right track here?
I think I can just wing it and update my specular reflection function. Before I only specified a specular power and intensity per object material, however if I understand this right, I should read from a specular map the alpha channel into the intensity, with a positive correlation between opacity and intensity, and the RGB channels into a vec3 of reflected color representing a new specular power.
Before I used to just use an intensity of 2 and a power of 32, anything beyond that looked way too bright, so I may just normalize the maximum values based on those numbers.
Either way, I'm so excited about this system working and all the things I can do to it now.

This entirely depends on the standards you set, most game engines either use the diffuse maps alpha channel for the specular intensity and have a configurable power for the artist to set themselves.
Or have the specular map as a seperate grayscale image but that wastes a lot of space so it isn't very common.
But you can encode it in basically any way you want, just make sure you are consistent.

Once you create mipmaps of normal maps you need to take into account that the roughness of a material is normally lost in that process.
There's a presentation by I think Valve about downscaling very-high-res VR textures while preserving the necessary information to light them correctly, but I'm not sure where to find it.

It might not be a problem if I can figure out how to disable mipmapping just for that pass.
I think I jury rigged an okay specular reflection shader. The values might need a little tweaking.

If the third image is maximized, it is quite easy to see how the normal map degrades.
[editline]9th September 2015[/editline]
I think the problem might actually be caused by the anisotropic filtering.
I can override it for the normal texture, but then it fades out quite poorly and looks way too speckily

It's a bit too strong in my opinion, but damn, that sounds good!
Some progress:
-Reworked the movement physics .
-AI plays more natural and less like an annoying aimbot.
-Added new UI.
-Lots of subtle changes to make the game feel more weighty.

I have been sitting in my room, making strange sounds into a microphone in the name of science.
Here's a pretty spectrogram of my voice.

[B]Pictured from left to right:[/B]
• [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_front_unrounded_vowel"]Open front unrounded vowel[/URL]
• [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-mid_front_unrounded_vowel"]Open-mid unrounded vowel[/URL]
• [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid_front_unrounded_vowel"]Mid unrounded vowel[/URL]
• [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_front_unrounded_vowel"]Close unrounded vowel[/URL]
Notice how the transition from open to close vowels diminishes the harmonics in the 500Hz-2500Hz range. This is due to open vowels gaining most of their quality from middle-range frequencies, with a very clear formant around ~1000Hz. Closer vowels generally rely on higher-range frequencies for their sound, so transforming an "ahhh" into an "eeee" sound artificially is essentially just a matter of applying the correct filters.
I don't think it will be too difficult to create an algorithm to produce these. But first, I have to investigate how rounded and central/back vowels affect the spectrum as well.
[QUOTE=proboardslol;48645975]I'm glad to be back to doing C. I've found that when I do OOP or Javascript, my lines of code span past the width of my screen quite often.

Kind of offtopic, but what do you guys use for sound generation? I'm trying to find a nice wall-slide sound, but I can't find it anywhere.
I tried generating some brown noise, but it's really hard to tweak without it sounding bad. I thought about getting a good microphone and recording some on my own, but they're expensive.
So is there any good tool out there for general sound creation?

Error handling. Referencing non-existent variables now returns a syntax error instead of seg fault
Writing an interpreted BASIC. Problem with BASIC is there is no standard, so you get a bit of creative liberty with some of the grammar. For variable declarations, generally you can just do like
[code]
var = 0
[/code]
and that's enough to declare a variable, but what I'm wondering is, when encountering something like:
[code]
//where var hasn't been declared or initialized
2 + var;
[/code]
should I have that throw an error, or should I have var automatically evaluate to 0, and throw a warning?

It would be a debugging nightmare if undeclared variables didn't throw an error. Imagine if you had a misspelled variable in a huge block of code and couldn't figure out why your results were wrong.
