Some tiny fixes

As everyone seems to be releasing hell a lot of screens of WIPs, and I'm too lazy to make a new post in my blog, I'll just abuse this forum to show some WIP. Mainly transparency oriented, with some examples from "Castlevania:Dawn of Sorrow". First a little comparison between current CVS (left) and WIP (right):

cdosoldif5.th.jpgcdosnewhg7.th.jpg

And this is how the WIP looks ingame:

cdosbgl6.th.jpg

I'll commit it when I get it tested, but as it's a bit of a hack, don't hold your breath...

Re: Some tiny fixes

Why is it textboxes are always half broken?  It happens in Advance Wars aswell, half the textbox looks like Braille and the other part is propper text.

No I am not complaining shash, just curious because it looks like a very wierd glitch.

It's due to transparency not being handled on current uploaded core, and in these shots you can see a fix, I'll do some tests with Trama Center and Advance Wars later, and see how they run.

Re: Some tiny fixes

Cool it will be awesome once that's fixed.

It looks better but not quite complete yet on those screenshots, maybe it is like that in the actual game but the frames around the textboxes still look a bit broken. Should they not continue around the whole box?

True, the boxes aren't complete, I checked it today, and it should be rather easy to fix, as I already supported it a while back.

Re: Some tiny fixes

Awesome, just when you are testing it would be cool if you could check on Advance Wars because that's the game I know of the has the worst issues in regard to that glitch.

Could you post some shots of the glitch, so I know what you're trying to report.

I am not worried about missing items....I am worried about Braille like text...on the right half of textboxes.

I just checked: it's not rendered using the 3D core, so it's not related to this fixes.

Re: Some tiny fixes

The weird text seems to be just black text on black background. I guess the fact that some sprites don't load properly (as also seen on the shots in the 1st post) is what causes it.

Great work by the way.

Re: Some tiny fixes

I was told that "Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin" didn't run on the excellent no$gba, so here're some screens of what it should look with the transparency fix:

That's all smile

Re: Some tiny fixes

Any news on that matter? Is CVS release getting closer? What about shininess, and the fact that both ambient and diffuse are always the same colors on every material?

It'll committed in the near future, just not now.

Shinniness will probably never be supported by the openGL plugin, atleast without using pixel shaders, as it's using a table access to get the shinniness indices, and that's not possible with the fixed pipeline. You're wrong on the the material diffuse and ambient color stuff, just check this code:

int    diffuse[4] = {(val&0x1F) << 26,
                     ((val>>5)&0x1F) << 26,
                    ((val>>10)&0x1F) << 26,
                    0xffffffff },
    ambient[4] = {((val>>16)&0x1F) << 26,
                    ((val>>21)&0x1F) << 26,
                    ((val>>26)&0x1F) << 26,
                    0xffffffff };

(...)

glMaterialiv (GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_AMBIENT, ambient);
glMaterialiv (GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_DIFFUSE, diffuse);

I think it's quite clear it's being setup correctly, atleast what's assigned to ambient/diffuse, there's a small mistake that it's harder to catch, but doesn't have anything to do with ambient/diffuse being mixed tongue
