New Feature: "Glow" textures

[arisian]

At least some of the transformations should now work; I briefly tested rotation, scrolling, and pulsing, and they seemed to do more or less what was expected.  I'm going to bed now; I'll work on it some more another day.

Here is a small glow patch for the U.F.O.-Fighter:

1st Picture=Screenshot In-game

2+3=base/models/aircraft/ufo_fighter

[MCR]

Here the last ones for the fighter...

[MCR]

Engine Upgrade for the Supply Ship or 'Glowing In The Snow'...

First 2=base/models/aircraft/ufo_supply

Picture 3= Screenshot in-game

[MCR]

Proud To Present:

'The Glowing Scout'

[Kildor]

At first — wow and thanks.
At second, will this work without GLSL? I can`t enable it and can not switch any of hardware because it is computer at work.

At third — MCR, your scout and fighter is very bright, you should make it less intensive.

[MCR]

I think I love this Tron 2.0-Oldschool-Style-Glow...  

[MCR]

@Kildor: These are raw first versions, now that everything is cut out they are easy to manipulate & experiment with...
Feel Free To Do So

[MCR]

IMHO our small U.F.O.-models should be upgraded not only with new textures in the long term...

[Kildor]

shit, torrents of flood and nothing more.

Um...wow.  How on earth did you get that?  It's actually kind of pretty...I've got no idea how that "rainbow" effect is happening.  Is it constant, or do the colors change?  Are you getting anything in the log?  And are all the shaders up to date?

recompiled (clean build, no changes in svn) - up-to-date shaders, colors are changing. nothing in the logs - all in all no useful bugreport

i will try in the evening with the latest changes.

[Mattn]

it would be nice if the GLOW in the shaders would be a float and would be controllable via material system parameter - because the mapper might want to decrease or increase the glow strength on a per-map-basis without changing textures. would that be possible?

[BTAxis]

I agree with Kildor, MCR, it would probably be best if you made the glow a little less bright.

[MCR]

No problem, I just cut out the glowing parts from the original textures here & did not change anything, to change the brightness is a job done in a few minutes when having the cut-outs. I have not time to do this right now, but I can try to do the adjustments in the evening if that is okay...

arisian: By the way, is there any way to control the extent of the glow itself, i.e. how far outside the glowing pixels the pixels will get shaded?
