Want some Bloom in your GL Port (Yes, Zandronum)

[darkstar64]

I guess the SSAO and certain settings depend on the card you have. On the original thread some people were having problems with Nvidia beta drivers or something. So unfortunately, the SSAO isn't all that great. The least I get is the black lines in the sky.

Anyways, I've decided to play without it simply because a game like Doom has no need for bloom. Not to mention it can cause some slight lag if you're running less than amazing hardware.

Turn SSAO off. It's much more worth it for the bloom. Having subtle bloom settings (Bloomdarken higher than 1 for example) in software lighting works well.

how i can use it in dengine (doomsday engine)

[ZZYZX]

I think I remember bloom GL hack being used with EDuke32 port :)
Well, anyway, it's really weird to play with this turned on, especially in CTF.

How can I make this slightly darker? I had an issue where it was too dark for me, then I turned SSAO off and it fixed it, but it's not dark enough. I run a nVidia 570GTX, so if I have to change some settings in the panel then I don't mind.

Some effect like SAO i've maked with this parameters in QeffectsGL.ini

[zandronum.exe]
Anisotropy=0
Multisample=0
SSAO=1
SSAOScale=999
RenderFrame=1

... and there is a problem with sky like in GZDoom

What's harder? Make SVN of Zandronum or of opengl32.dll? Second can't fix problem with sky...

Bloom effect should be added to GZdoom code, but we are too lazy to do that. Well, how it's possible to affect bloom on the hud and menu?

Like in this:

It's not because the GZ dev's are lazy. The reason it probably won't be added is because it's just a visual gimmick and wouldn't be worth maintaining. If players want to use it, they can download the DLL themselves.

Well, how it's possible to affect bloom on the hud and menu?

This has been explained before. The "effect" is added post-rendering, so it kinda just applies to everything that's on the screen. Now honestly, I have no clue what the OpenGL renderer's code looks like, but I'd imagine that in order to exclude skies, HUDs, and text from the bloom effect, you'd have to go through the entire code and make a LOT of changes.

LifeKILLED PM'ed me to update this thread with an update that he made to the source. It makes the fancy SSAO shadows work, but they bleed through the sprites still.

I want to give it a more Battlefield 3ish look so any help on that would be awesome. Nothing too dark though because I want to be able to see things..

Not sure why he's not just posting in the thread but.

All Zandronum setup is in video.

SSAO and sprites - just turn off "Smoth sprite edges" option.
And for sky hack you need turn on option "Force additive lighting"

"

The sprites fix currently works in both Zandronum and Gzdoom, but the skyfix only works in Zandronum right now.

EDIT: In maps or wads that use Skyboxes (The 6 image kind), the skyfix won't work. It only works with traditional doom skies.

[bazzoka]

For sure DOF is working like a charm.

But SSAO is still harken on sky.

Ok so blood creates these weird shadows seen here:

See, those shadows in that teleport area? How do I turn it off? It makes anyone standing there almost invisible.
