"DP New-Lava" Thread

[haze_the_great]

Woohw look at this.


These beautiful shaders are possible in FTE Quake.
I am stil trying to find a way to integrate them into DP...

Kind Regards,
Seven

lol thats not a shader unfortunately , thats my screenshot showing the lava with a particle effect being emitted, i am sure that can be done in DP as well. The effect is from a particle config i made for FTE (the equivalent to effectinfo for DP) found here: QuakeWorld.nu Forum / my FTE particle effects

I've been wanting to make some particle effects for DP as well, but i've just been too lazy to learn it and there are already some good ones out there.

I tried fte and its a nice engine. Im surprised there isnt more out there for it, or there isnt more talk about it. It looks very good.

i prefer the picture posted before... this last screenshot seems too "fake"...

Ok, I have good and bad news for you:

Bad news:
I couldnt implement the heat haze yet.

Good news:
I released a new version: V0.2


I implemented your different suggestions:
- slightly bigger texture scale
- around 50% slower lava movement

But the main reason why I released V0.2:
I found a way to use the lava shader with almost no FPS drop.
Due to the fact, that Lava is NOT transparent, I deactivated the variable "dpwater" inside the shader.
So now you have almost no FPS drop. The visual effect stays exactly the same.

Please find updated Download Links in first post.

Best wishes,

Wow. That looks great. Amazing

Interesting- does it include light projection too?

Huge thanks, Seven! Looking forward to new effects

Oh, this beautiful armor:

Thank you Baker for moving this thread.

Due to the fact that I cannot find a way to implement "heat haze" (as many of you requested), I decided to close the book for now and move it to the finished forum.

In my opinion it is not possible to have this effect with the current DP build/functions.

If LH will have mercy with us and implement it someday, a new release will be done.

Until then, have fun with V0.2 and remember, this small mod will NOT harm your FPS.

Kind regards,
Seven

Nope if anything it'd just drop you by 1. Only FPS killer is your water lol - which is too pretty to remove

this small mod will NOT harm your FPS.

Actually the mod drops my fps to from 30 to 19.. And that's a lot..
I downloaded the v0.2..

[LambentHammerBurst]

Odd as with or without this, my FPS is untouched. However the DPWater - that kills my FPS (but it's too pretty to get rid of)

[DaniOcampo1992]

What could be the problem?
