Aww, I'll miss those cutesies~

automated turrets in games are like the worst things ever the worst ones were in fallout 3 when they had a billion health and you could hack them with enough science but i never had enough science so i had to waste shitloads of ammo

I just had a brainwave (just the one, sadly) X-Ray 1.0 doesn't pass stuff like jitter to the combine_1 shader by default but those OGSE sunshafts depend on modified DLLs to pass it to combine_2 If I could figure out how to tell the engine to pass user$jitter to the combine_1 shader, I could get soft SSAO. Time to dive headfirst into xray extensions and hex editing!

[quote=Maverick]WALL OF TEXT ALERT well... It all started, when i was battling through this bandit infested castle ruin. i had enough at this point. traps and consent wave upon wave of bandits where taking it's toll. then i come across the scene. 3 adult bandits (one female), 1 little redguard female child bandit (<-- really good mod btw.) i went invisible, and watched them. i learnt their patterns and i imagined their story: the redguard women and the nord man where the parents of the little girl the other man, was their uncle times were tough/farm destroyed during the war/forced to raid small caravans to feed their child. ANYWAY. i was annoyed at how the other bandits constantly beating me in close combat i went in for my trademark vines/frenzy/murder/soulcatch/ combo like the one at the top of the page but i changed my mind at the last moment i taunt them for a while, shooting arrows in different directions just to keep them guessing then, i cast *[I]ESTRUS[/I] on the adult women [I](*the 'Estrus spell,' is thee famous tentacle rape mod from oblivion. one of it's features, is it draws all male adults towards the spell's victim and they then watch.)[/I] this is where my imagination starts to play. now, i'm picturing the scene of this women being brutally and horrifically raped in front of her family by giant un-earthly demon tenticales, as they can do nothing but watch, she would be begging for mercy or death... i then cast frenzy on what i like to imagine is the father of the little redguard girl. he swings recklessly and wildly at his daughter, and manages to trigger the execution move of impaling the little girl on his sword so, while being raped by demon tentacles, this mother has also just witnessed the murder of her child by her own husband as he laughs like a maniac, with me just watching from the shadows gleefully rubbing my hands together as everything falls into place so perfectly. The frenzied father, now turns towards the uncle and begins to fight him. the uncle is a mage with a iron dagger. another execution move later the uncle lies in a bloody mess. the women (still being raped...) is helpless and just watches her life collapse around her, daughter dead. brother slowly dying and a husband who has snapped. because remember, i haven't shown myself yet... to these poor bandits.. it just seems like the father has completely gone insane from seeing his wife being raped by giant tentecales, they don't know i'm pulling the strings. yet. so. family dead, husband insane, this women must think she's next, making her peace with Talos this is where i emerge from the shadows. i stab her husband in the throat in front of her with my iron dagger of soul catching, keeping his soul for use later. if this was real life, she would be showered with his blood. his lifeless body falls to the floor and i'm left with the soul survivor, all this time, she's been helpless, and i decide that i want to keep playing with her. so i grab the whip from the Paradise Halls slavery mod and i beat her to submission, forcing her to become my slave for all eternity. once she bends to my will, i continue beating her with my fists till she is on the floor begging for mercy we make it out the castle, slave in tow. every time i completed a quest or killed a group a bandits, i'd beat her down with my fists or scar her up with my whip for fun. i named her [U]Ugly[/U], so everytime i talked to her, i would be calling her ugly too. i made her watch as i burnt other bandits into dust and enchanted their names onto their own weapons locking them forever in my dungeon i kept her in my hidden lair, which was where i kept the haunted and tortured weapons she would sleep on a hard mat, surrounded by enchanted weapons filled with hate and remorse at what they had done in their lives, i imagined they would scream during the night driving her slowly insane. i would feed her only poisoned river water, stale bread and rancid meat. forcing her to be sick, where upon i would beat her down with my fists, and let her get raped by the Estrus spell till i got bored. I left her locked up in that room while i went adventuring (this is where i think i [I]really[/I] earned my ticket to hell...) after a few days adventuring, i found another camp, which again had a child. this gave me a great idea. after burning the child's body to a cinder, i went looking for a little redguard girl however i couldn't find one, so i went home and spawned one. i punched her to a pulp and enslaved her and brought the little girl before Ugly. i then dressed up as Ugly's husband and with his greatsword, impaled the little girl in-front of her and left her body with her overnight. (after beating her up some more) after i had my fun, we walked... well, she walked, i rode. to high Hrothgar, then climbed the steps, through the halls and up to say hello to Paarthurnax. at the highest point, on the farthest reach right on the ledge, i told her stay and face out to the land. i gave her a bunch of stuff. the clothes that her child wore, the greatsword of her husband that killed her child, and the necklace of her brother. i then stabbed her in the chest with my iron dagger of/SC and kicked her body off the mountain i went into my inventory list, picked out the Black soul gem she was in. and dropped it. her soul, remains trapped on top of the highest mountain in all of tamriel but by this time, i believe she was ready for death and accepted it with open arms in 1000 years, i will return to that mountain with a shovel (as a vampire.) and dig up her soul gem. over 1000 years her burning fury will be so blinding, that whatever weapon i enchant with her soul shall equal that of the gods.[/quote] This has been very inspiring to read.

[quote][U][Journal Entry #67, 1.9.2012][/U] The specimen has been successfully captured near Yantar. The group of scientific assistants managed to corner a type B formation of specimens and captured them in the container device. One specimen escaped the container however and is nested in one of the assistants' testicles. We have placed him in quarantine at the moment. Oh well. The canteen is always full of people. I don't understand it, why do they eat so much? I've never needed much food to stay sated, why should they? [U][Journal Entry #68, 2.9.2012][/U] The contaminated assistant has radioactive elements detectable in his bloodstream. The amount of these elements is steadily rising and has far exceeded lethal amounts. However, he seems healthy for the most part. Could the specimen be keeping him alive somehow? This must be researched. The infected assistant is too noisy, however. We will have to soundproof the containment chamber, his cringing is getting to my ears. I could use a cup of coffee. [U][Journal Entry #69, 3.9.2012][/U] We've managed to separate one of the specimen from the type B formation and have begun examinations. The specimen is a relatively small mutated lifeform, similar in body structure to that of an arachnid. While it does have a poisonous stinger like many other venomous spiders, it does seem to possess some sort of fangs or teeth. Judging by their form, they're used for carnivorous digestion, as their jagged shape suggests the specimen devours flesh for nutrients. How it can internally digest this type of protein is not known. I will continue notes in another entry. [U][Journal Entry #70, 4.9.2012][/U] The specimen has become increasingly agitated when separated from the formation. Ah yes, the formation. It is a type B formation of numerous specimens. They form a ball by attaching to each other. Their legs end in hook-like appendages which allows for a sturdy hold between two speciments. They then use a hive-mind control system to use each specimen as a tiny muscle, moving the formation onwards. Type A formation is similar to a termite nest. They become so sturdy in type A formation that they deflect small arms fire. The isolated specimen has attempted lunging at me as I have moved closer to the glass. It seems to produce some sort of saliva. I will take a sample of it at some point and research it's properties in a later entry. [U][Journal Entry #71, 5.9.2012][/U] The specimen has grown in size! I have no idea how it has gained the nutrients or energy necessary for such a growth, but it's mass has increased by 150 grams from previous 8 grams and is now 15.8 centimeters long from head to rear! Perhaps this is a defense mechanism of sorts of individual specimens are separated from formations? This is absolutely intriguing, the Zone is a treasure trove! [U][Journal Entry #72, 6.9.2012][/U] The infected assistant has undergone a change. His skin is...pulsating and moving. The testicle that the specimen nested in seems to have used his sperm to reproduce! His body is now host to approximately several hundred specimens. He complains of constant itching and some stomach pains. This is most likely due to the specimens finding their way inside his stomach and panicking due to his stomach acid. [U][Journal Entry #73, 7.9.2012][/U] The saliva seems to be containing...this sounds strange, but egg cells. Several, in fact. I have studied their chromosomes and they are incredibly strange. They're empty, as if there is no information there, a clean slate! How can these be useful at all, according to all biological studies and findings these should not even be existing! I suppose the Zone throws all of modern day science in the recycling bin, doesn't it? [U][Journal Entry #74, 8.9.2012][/U] I had a face-to-face discussion with the assistant. He seems to have calmed down considerably and speaks in a strange manner. It seems that the specimens have found their way to his brains and have also begun nesting there! I wonder how long we can continue observing this transformation before it becomes incurable and irreversible. I need to find some vodka. [U][Journal Entry #75, 9.9.2012][/U] The formation has begun vibrating. We detected a very distinct pattern of ultrasound emanating from it. Perhaps it is trying to find the lost specimen? Speaking of the isolated one, it has continued growth. We've had to transfer it into the containment cell intended to house a pseudogiant. It has become massive! It is slightly over 5.6 meters in length and over 900 kilograms heavy. However, it seems slothful, as if waiting. It keeps tapping one of it's limbs against the glass. This kind of action implies that it is bored. Could it have become intelligent from this transformation? I need to go to the canteen, I'm starving. [U][Journal Entry #76, 10.9.2012][/U] I have noticed an increase in appetite on everyone in the lab. Perhaps this is a side-effect of the ultrasonic soundwaves emanating from the type B formation. It is harmless for now, but we should have it's containment chamber soundproofed. You can never be too careful. As for the assistant, he has died. Around 5:45 in the morning his body burst open from several locations and a river of specimens swarmed out. The skin was consumed by the specimens and they've covered the walls, windows and security cameras of the containment chamber. We've begun biohazard contamination process phase 1 in this chamber. The nervegas might or might not have an effect. While small, they seem to work more on a hivemind, but isolated specimens are intelligent. It turns out that the lone specimen has stopped growth due to lacking space. It has carved a shape of a key in the containment chamber's observation window. Perhaps it is trying to communicate? It must've seen an assistant open a lock with a key to understand the meaning of keys. This specimen is obviously lethal if we get in contact. We might have to abort the experiment at some point. Oh, and the chefs have complained that I am eating too much. They don't understand that intense scientific discoveries are draining for great minds. I need nourishment to continue my research, that's all. [U][Journal Entry #77, 11.9.2012][/U] My hunger seems abnormal. I've consumed several kilograms of food today. At first I thought it was fatigue, but this cannot be from stress. I attempted communication with the isolated specimen and it...communicated with me somehow. I do not understand how, but I seem to be the only one capable of understanding it's way of communication. Candies are really good, they keep me surprisingly sated, you know. [U][Journal Entry #78, 12.9.2012][/U] I communicated more with Larga. I'm calling her Larga, since she's obviously intelligent enough to speak. We discussed about liberating her and her little friends, but I explained that it would be quite dangerous considering how lethal they are to human beings. She seems understanding and hopes that she can win my trust. I found the conversation stimulating, I have a feeling that Larga is quite the artistic type! My hunger seems to go away when I'm near her, too. [U][Journal Entry #79, 13.9.2012][/U] More assistants have been infected. We've had to close and purify entire sections of the lab. We've...had casualties due to this as well. The staff is nervous. Larga says that she cannot reach her kin from the cell. She seems sincere in her will to help us stop her kin. Obviously survival would mean co-operation, no? Yes, yes, it would make sense, I would do the same thing. The type B formation seems to have broken and is in disarray. All of the specimen that were in the formation have gone berserk and are fighting each other. It's clear that Larga cannot reach them, otherwise she would stop them. I must find a way to free her and explain it to others. This is survival and a great opportunity for cross-species scientific co-operation! [B]*NEW*[/B] [U][Journal Entry #80, 14.9.2012][/U] I freed Larga. I broke the protocol, but every specimen calmed down. The others seem to have disappeared. I'm the only person in the lab. Perhaps they ran away. That seems reasonable. Larga said that I can safely free her kind now. I trusted her words and opened the contamination cells. Some of them climbed up my legs and walked on my body for a while. They seemed docile! What a change from their previous agitation! Larga suggested that I would break my contract with our bodyguards. They fired upon me when I opened the lab door, so I closed it permanently on lockdown. Larga was saddened by this and offered a way out. She could make more of her kind but needed my help. I remembered the assistant and outright refused, even though I felt like it was the only way. However, she explained that it can be done the other way around. Instead of me fertilizing her, she would fertilize my body. She said the process would be painless for me and even quite enjoyable. [B][U]END OF JOURNAL[/U][/B] The merc stares at the PDA for a while and stuffs it in one of his vest's pockets. He then turns his gaze on the sight on the other side of the containment barrier. A lab bunker covered in small, black and blue spiders with a gigantic one on the roof. It's been fucking an old scientist for days now. He continuously throws up more spiders and some kind of white fluid overflows from his asshole. The spider's appendage is as thick as a small log, as well. It is a miracle it fits the anus of a human being. The scientist's skin is constantly moving, as if there were creatures moving under it. The barrier's quadruple plexiglass cracks.[/quote] 'straylia, mate.

welp, failing so far. I'm not sure what the russians use to figure out which hex offsets to jump to xray extensions already adds jittering to the combine_2 shaders but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add it to combine_1. I wish K.D. was a bit more active/talkative so I could ask him for advice :v:

[QUOTE=Rents;40057606]I have no idea what you just said, but good luck with it.[/QUOTE] :v: The engine passes samplers and certain data to each shader individually. KD got those fancy sun shafts working nicely by patching the DX9 renderer to tell it to pass a random noise texture to the combine_2 (post processing) shader so it can be used for a dust effect in the sun shafts. I'm trying to figure out how to do the same for the combine_1 (lighting pass) shader, so I can use jittering for SSAO, to soften the effect, preventing the hard edges we see in current implementations.
