Ahh i see, hnmm ya that performence is very low . especially since its on a better card.
all that data emulating must really take a toll.

Don't let the creaters of WINE hear you call it an emulator. because it's not. It's a wrapper.

yes i hope so too.  sadly Darren is selling his computer. i think he will be using his mac for awhile. but im actually getting some graphics stuff done for the levels. not sure what will happen from here but i do intend to get the project finished.

Haha, i accidentally replied in your other thread.

I was just commenting on how nice the screens look (i'm assuming they're realtime?). I was also wondering if you wrote your own shaders or if C4 has it's own preset.

Other than that though, i think it's pretty awesome how you nailed the look of the Xtreme dev shots without having to resort to using the lowres textures like most projects. Nice job.

@ Default
Thx for the reply, and sorry to change from one thread to another like than on you mid post, lol
C4 has a handy Shader editor which allows you to create custom shaders,
You can't wright shaders in HLSL like with some other engines,
although it's easy to make just about any shader imaginable within C4's editor.

oh, yeah the screens are Realtime with Realtime lighting ect ect.
The C4 version of the model was just imported for testing purpose only.
The textures are actually incomplete compared to a render i did awhile back.
Was in the process of redoing them for a higher quality look for C4.
than some other aspects of the game came up which have to be handled first, like gameplay lol

The render below is so old it wasn't yet a finished model there,, its missing the hole in the center in front of the arch.
which has been corrected along with a few other things, hnmm,, whenever i finish that area 100% is when it'll get its next post,
for now thats still on hold for gameplay programming, and a bit 3D modeling of other levels.


@Ultrareaper
Yeah i like how it turned out too!. especially with its color variations from place to place.
if u think these bury jpg screens look good u should see what they look like in motion,

I can't wait! Could you also put up some .png images if you get a moment? My computer hate .jpg for some reason...At times it flikers...

Actually im not home right now,,, up in Michigan helping Gramps do some house renovations for about another week, dont have access to the origonal pics or engine at the moment.

That looks amazing! :D I wish I knew how to make shaders- but I don't know of any programs to do it, got any recommendations for getting started in shader authoring? I'm using the Blender engine right now, but looking into Cg for another engine.

Is it possible to program an engine with C# or HTML?

Basic d2 plataforms can be done in html (with lots of help of javascript)

Nice. Shader authoring tools are always a plus.

Razor, the NVidia CG tutorial is available for free online now days, and will get you started learning Cg/HLSL (same syntax). And don't let it scare you having to do things manually, all the simple stuff is easy.

UltraReaper, XNA is programmed with C#. Axiom and a few other engines are C#, and a while back (it's been superseded by XNA) there was managed DirectX, for CLR languages like C#. HTML on the other hand i don't think so.

Thanks Default, Andrew :) It would be cool if we had a way to discuss more in depth tech details like that. I'm willing to share my aim or sit on a chatroom in freenode (I've already set up #project-r several days ago just for kicks on freenode since I'm there all the fragging time XD). Xchat2 will sit in your system tray without taking up taskbar space ;P
