What are you working on?

No because for blending i'd STILL have to process in RGB, or else i'll have tinted monochromatic shading.

I gave "indexed colored lighting" a shot. True, the palettized colors can't directly blend, but alphamap lookup and dithering is about good enough for 8-bit:



This is
1. Keep the standard lighmap.
2. Map incoming RGB .lit file to the indexed palette.
3. Do blocked indexed colored light.
4. At mips, add light as usual plus alphamap with indexed colored block.

man, it looks like the .

Surprising that you actually attempted it though, it needs a multiply table to really work. I'd include this as a quality setting i guess. there's also model lighting to deal with

The absolute fastest and ugliest would be using the menumap to color the lighting and models, like Duke3D's palette remap tricks

Nuclear explosion lighting.



Light intensities can be arbitrarily scaled. 1 is default Quake. No clamping, no upper limit, it can go all the way to 10000 and beyond. No lightmaps need to be uploaded, no performance hit - gradual ramp up or fade down, slow or fast, day/night cycles, potential ability to scale each colour channel independently, pulsing global lights, whatever.

A 16 x16 pixel (not all chars are 16x16 actually, thats why they're contained into 20x20 pixel boxes) charset for custom menus, as close to the original artwork as I can make:

Charset based off the Brazelton TruType font (which AFAIK is OK to be used(*) ), in PNG format with OpenGL-friendly dimensions (512x256).
Will work better if drawn as a non-monospaced font.

(*) I must admit I am not sure if I am violating someone else copyrights. If someone thinks (and can proof) it's the case, please let me know and I'll pull it out. If there are no legal problems about it, one can consider this as public domain artwork and use it freely. However, in the case you slap it in your work it would be nice (but not required) if you credit me. You know, 1 line of credit in the readme.txt would be enough and won't steal any of the glory and fame you'll get

"The stylized Q" is part of the trademark application for Quake I believe
this font is still derivative

You could ask Marty or Todd about it

frag.machine, the QRP already provides an equivelent but incompatible menu font.

terrain with normalmaps, gotta admit that they made a world of difference.
