:It was the enthusiast in me that was commenting :-) I'll modify an OTA script to work in the arena, it should be fun. Now to see the advanced lighting techniques, will that require the modified Oni engine?

Neo's Motoko? In the original engine, vertex shading is glitchy, and "my" lightmaps [[:Image:Lightmap particle sorting issue 1.jpg|sorta work]] but [[:Image:Lightmap particle sorting issue 2.jpg|not quite]]. AFAIK, Neo's Motoko fixes vertex shading, but does not make "my" lightmaps work any better. So I guess the answer is: wait and see. I'm not sure how long though.

Regarding the lightmaps, no flickering at 1024x768, but there is dithering. EdT | Regarding the lightmaps, no flickering at 1024x768, but there is dithering. EdT | ||
:I'll need an explanation of what you mean by "dithering", ideally a screenshot. There's not supposed to be any dithering for either flavor. The 4-bit version will have [[wp:Posterization|posterization]] a.k.a. [[wp: | :I'll need an explanation of what you mean by "dithering", ideally a screenshot.

In any case, try and get the 8-bit version to work (you must byte-swap the BGRA channels to ARGB, if I remember correctly). [[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:05, 14 November 2010 (UTC) | ||

:::No hurry for the 8-bit version, the only difference about it should be the lack of banding. Apparently we've established that the Z-fighting (flickering) is gone. Now we probably need to have OniSplit consolidate the mesh automatically upon import (e.g., snap vertex coordinates to the nearest sixteenth-of-an-integer, or something like that), so that the polygons and their lightmapped duplicates coincide exactly. We also need to disable collision for the lightmapped mesh. I will try to consolidate the arena manually ASAP, and upload a flawless lightmapped version for you guys to use in videos etc. Tutorials will come later.
