yeah i know but im in the proccess of getting first all the ships correctly hardpointed im showing them because... i don't know why XDDShipbuilder wrote:commanderxairon - Are you aware that you can alter the eternal views in the shipdata.plist so that you can view larger ships from further away so that can see all of your ship ?Anaconda rear view
GLSL could do that.commanderxairon wrote:http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/ ... 5ddth4.png
this is a concept test of both of the boas and a anaconda it looks really neat and they mix together
and also i wish we could have this kind of grephics on oolite XDD
Trivially, but not in Oolite because of blending restrictions. Neener-neener.Tricky wrote:GLSL could do that.
Oh? What exactly are the restrictions? Blending restrictions??? I'd rather know my limitations before beating my head against a wall trying to get something to work.Ahruman wrote:Trivially, but not in Oolite because of blending restrictions. Neener-neener.Tricky wrote:GLSL could do that.
Kinda fake that with the alpha channel, ie...Ahruman wrote:Simple enough: the blending mode Oolite uses for ships (and planets) doesn’t allow partial transparency. You can’t get around this from within a shader without the host application’s cooperation. (Oolite doesn’t cooperate because it doesn’t do the geometry sorting necessary for blending to work usefully.) I suppose you could achieve something reminiscent of the picture by retexturing (all) flashers.
Code: Select all
gl_FragColor = vec4(color, 0.3); /* Return the colour with 30% alpha. */
No, that’s exactly what you can’t do. The game decides what the alpha channel means, and in Oolite’s case it’s blended with solid black, not the background. And again, if you could work around this, it would not produce useful results because useful results require a specific drawing order.Tricky wrote:Kinda fake that with the alpha channel, ie...Ahruman wrote:Simple enough: the blending mode Oolite uses for ships (and planets) doesn’t allow partial transparency.
