Hi everyone,
Since I dont wanted to spam the [what are you working thread ]
so I start here a new Thread and hope you can help me
I have a strong alpha channel problem with entities when im using PSSM shadows, I have already tried almost all flags, but I get the entites not on ignore the Shadow, The only flag that triggered something was the overlay flag, But it had the appearance that I had the shadow simply inverted around.
I have remove already Shade-c from the Projekt for tested pssm Shadows.I have also searched the forum afterwards but I have not found any really similar posts.Which surprised me a bit since I seem to be the only one
The 2 models on the view are put on invisible (100% alpha) muzzle fire & reload sprite,To the left of the building you can see an orange lansflare which is also affected by it
and here the same screenshots with the overlay flag
I hope you understand my problem.
here the default main code
function main() {
video_mode = 10;
// video_set(sys_metrics(0),sys_metrics(1),0,1);
video_set(1024, 768,0, 2);
shadow_stencil = 8; // activate external shadows
shadow_lod = 1; // works also for PSSM
// def_move();
for(you = ent_next(NULL); you; you = ent_next(you))
set(you,SHADOW);
// adjust camera and bias, activate PSSM
camera.clip_far = 11000;
camera.clip_near = 1;
pssm_fbias = 0.004;
pssm_run(4);
mat_shadow.alpha = 25; //transparency of dynamic shadows
shadow_mode = IGNORE_SPRITES+IGNORE_PASSABLE+IGNORE_PASSENTS+IGNORE_PASSENTS;
shadow_threshold = 80; // 80
shadow_offset = 2.5;
mouse_map = mouse;
max_entities = 2000;
camera.arc = 70; // set camera.arc to a proper value for shooter games
fps_max = 80; // limit the frame rate to 75 fps (not really needed)
wait(1);
so and here the flags from the muzzle fire model
function set_weaponMuzzle()
{
//set(my,PASSABLE | LIGHT );
set(my,PASSABLE | TRANSLUCENT | BRIGHT |LIGHT|ZNEAR|OVERLAY|PASS_SOLID);
//set(my,PASSABLE | TRANSLUCENT | BRIGHT | PASS_SOLID |OVERLAY|LIGHT| NOSHADOW| FLAG2|SHADOW| ZNEAR);
// set(my,PASSABLE | TRANSLUCENT | BRIGHT | ZNEAR);
my->alpha = 0;
// my->ambient = -50;
while(player)
{
if(weapon_active > 0 && my->alpha > 0)
{
my->alpha -= 50 * time_step;
my->lightrange = 150;
}
else
{
my->alpha = 0;
my->lightrange = 0;
}
wait(1);
}
}
