[Animated Trees]

Would we need to ship and maintain an actual compatability database? That seems a bit complex, though I guess that is what game studios do.

[Previewing a map in the game setup screen.]

Is there a reason the image can't be stored inside the .pmp? Seems less fragile.

libwx_gtk2u_gl-2.9 seems conspicously absent from that list?

(Note that I've 'reinstalled' 2.8 on top of 2.9)

[Bug in actor editor under Linux]

I did crudely do configure;make;make install on top of the previous installation. I don't know if that messes it up?

$ ldd libAtlasUI.so | grep libwx_gtk2u_gl-2.9.so.3
libwx_gtk2u_gl-2.9.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_gl-2.9.so.3 (0x00007f561d59d000)

Oddly, the file at that path does exist.

[Bug in actor editor under Linux]

Yes.

[Bug in actor editor under Linux]

Well, it started segfaulting later, but yes, it's good to know that a fix at least exists in some abstract sense.

[===[TASK]=== Rocks! - Don't they rock?]

Nice work. These horizontal lines seem a bit unnatural, IMO:

Think the rocks will look good with AO, though.

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

That did the trick.

Well done.

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

For what it's worth, when I change this line:

        <material>terrain_norm.xml</material>

to this:

        <material>terrain_base.xml</material>

it does look just like plain grass. So it must be something in the shaders/materials.

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

Deal.

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

Are you missing the base texture? It should be the file art/textures/terrain/types/snow grass 2.dds...

No, I do have it.

Which git commands would you issue to make sure that your working directory is exactly identical to upstream?

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

It's a bit laggy on my laptop just by drawing a screen full of grass, though I'm sure a gaming PC can handle this effect with ease.

By the way, I've noticed that the blades of grass are always rendered behind all other objects. Is that a technical limitation or artistic decision?

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

Whoops, sorry. Meant the terrain_norm.xml material!

I've removed both lines and it's still black.

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

Hmmmmm... Maybe something is up with the lighting? If you edit art/terrains/snow/snow grass 2.xml and remove the line with USE_NORMAL_MAP does it work? How about the one with specular?

I have no such line in that file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<terrain>
		<textures>
				<texture name="baseTex" file="snow grass 2.dds"/>
				<texture name="normTex" file="snow grass 2_norm.png"/>

It isn't even all that slow in-game. Sure, the mouse pointer is a bit heavier, but this is a netbook. On a high-end system it could handily be an option. (Not that we shouldn't try to optimize it anyway, of course.)

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

Give the latest commit a try. Maybe it'll help.

Grass is working

Still some issue with "snow grass 2", though.

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

I see nothing obvious in the code that could be causing that, so maybe you changed something in the xml? The cliff is using exactly the same effects/code as the snow material, and additionally uses triplanar as well. If the cliff is working, then the issue is probably with the xml somewhere. Make sure your local copy is exactly the same as on github.

I've reset back to upstream/terrainmapping. I get this error now:

ERROR: CCacheLoader failed to find archived or source file for: "art/textures/terrain/types/grass1_spring.png"

Also, the grass material is half-working in your screenshot! The layer transparency is missing, so you don't see the layers below...

Cool! What would the transparency be missing? Can I fix it?

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

Can you go in Atlas and test the "Snow/Snow Grass 2" terrain type? That really shouldn't be black. Maybe it's missing a texture or something like that? How about "Biome Alpine/Alpine Cliff"?

Okay, downgraded wxWidgets. It's "Snow/Snow Grass 2" that's at fault:

I get no missing-texture errors.

Here is Celts Sandbox:

Atlas has begun segfaulting sometime after I upgraded wxWidgets (though the Actor Editor worked when I tried yesterday):

In the latest version, some terrains are black, but others are not.

This is Oasis 1:

This is your test map:

Can you name a map that uses grass1_spring? I thought the test map did, but on that it actually looks like its the snowy portions that are broken.

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

I happens on other textures too. This is one of the Oasis maps:

Also, Atlas segfaults when I attempt to start it.

Currently recompiling.

[Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)]

No more errors, but the texture just shows as black:

I'll try playing around with number of layers etc.
