I don't :(

I know such thing exists, but not for 3do files. IIRC JKE models have auto-generated LODs, I'm assuming MotSE doesn't?

I miss the injector.....
JKGR
2019-04-11, 7:06 AM #323
Yeah, I think JKE had LOD stuff in the models... but since I never messed around with LODs or mipmaps, I really don't know how to tackle this problem aside from the cheap "hey, is there an automated tool for this LOL" ideas :p

Shame!

Okay, so I managed to run the injector with the Intel driver by setting a MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE environment variable to anything higher than 3.3. However, this is what it looked like:




This is what appeared on the console, repeated a bunch of times
Code: 
Mesa: User error: GL_INVALID_OPERATION in glUseProgram(program 9 not linked)

As for jkgm.log... well...

Fixed it!


Just had to change the version in post_to_srgb.frag to 450 (MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE is set to 4.5). Framerate is absolutely horrid thanks to the terrible video card, but at least I can see where I'm going with materials.


So yeah, turns out you CAN run the injector in Wine with Intel graphics with some tweaking. Nice.
JKGR
2019-04-13, 6:25 AM #326
That's pretty cool, given the circumstances!

Also, I should get around to playing through JK and MotS with the current JKGfxmod + JK/MOTSGFX2019 set-up (mainly to confirm that you can play through the main campaigns of those games with the new stuff), because in some levels there still are some odd crashes involved if (some of) the injected textures are active - Elmo's The Lost Mercenary for one crashes at a specific part if there are injected textures under jkgm\materials (didn't test enough to figure out which textures caused the crashing, I should get around to that at some point).
Star Wars: TODOA | DXN - Deus Ex: Nihilum
2019-04-13, 6:41 AM #327
Hm. Just tried to debug The Lost Mercenary again and actually got rid of that particular crash by temporarily removing the injected texture pack from T-O:DOA 2 from jkgm\materials - so JKNUP and JKGFX2019 weren't the cause of the crash after all.

I guess in theory I could check which (one) of T-O:DOA 2's injected textures caused the crash, but eh.

2019-04-13, 6:45 AM #328
That said, I did discover an interesting translucency issue with one of the 3DOs/surfaces used in that level - the texture appears properly translucent from certain angles (and when you jump at a certain position), but appears buggy otherwise:

2019-04-13, 7:02 AM #329
That might actually be a JK limit and not an injector issue. JK can only display up to 32 transluscent level surfaces at the same time, so that's probably that.

Ah, yes. Sort of convinced myself that the issue had been fully sidestepped by the injector. >_>

2019-04-13, 9:12 AM #331
I've never even heard of such a limit. ****ing why?


Edit: Let me guess. In software mode, they draw all of the transparent level surfaces in a second pass. So they accumulate the first 16 they see in a static array and drop the rest on the floor. Cache? What's cache?

I remember asking ZeqMacaw in 2009 about it, like "why does JK do this with translucent surfaces?" and his response basically was "JK can only show a certain amount of translucent surfaces on the screen, and what's wrong with you why did you have to ask this question :S"

Come to think of it, Zeq was one of the few people I actually hated. Hrr.

That said, I did make a tiny little fix that should let one play TODOA TC SP with JkGfxMod sabers (thus skipping JK13 altogether, and just going with the January 2008 JKUP), which is kind of cool.

However, I did notice a FreeColorEffect related issue (maybe the same one SMLiberator mentioned before), when the saber is being activated at the same time when the FreeColorEffect is ... in effect:

Also, looking at the comments JKGFX2019 has received, an OGG injector would probably be very helpful.

Just uploaded jkgfxmod v0.0.10.

This roughly doubles framerates. Apparently a minor tweak I pushed a few days ago wasn't so minor. :shrug:

Very nice!

However, it didn't fix the "Elmo's The Lost Mercenary crash", which I seem to have pin-pointed to this one texture with an FGR-made displacement map. I should get around to the JKGM.log environment variable at some point.
Star Wars: TODOA | DXN - Deus Ex: Nihilum
2019-04-25, 1:01 PM #338
Okay, so I'm getting playable framerates (around 30, but still playable) with the Intel card on Wine. Great.

Out of curiosity: could you add some more variables to jkgm.json (like "enable_bloom" or "enable_materials") to further tweak graphics settings? Maybe that could also help with FPS in weaker GPUs.
JKGR
2019-04-25, 1:19 PM #339
That’s a good idea in general. Can you elaborate on the use case for “enable materials”, please? You can already disable materials (in a way) by deleting the materials directories.

I would guess it’s a GPU crash really, which isn’t an excuse (jkgm shaders shouldn’t do that) but unless I know what’s going wrong I can’t possibly fix it.

Does it still happen if you turn off parallax in the config?

Well... that's pretty much all that I had in mind, yes. Just for disabling materials without having to move directories around. Also, I think it's nice to have extra options available (regardless of how useful they actually are). You could take pointless variables a step further and throw in "enable_emissive" or something of that kind (maybe these could be useful for debugging? who knows).

Nope, which actually led me to discover the texture that causes the crash.

No idea what directly causes the crash itself (should env-var it at some point), but basically the displacement texture creates a pipe shape. But in Elmo's level, the 3DO using that texture already is pipe-shaped, which may have created some kind of a pipeception that JK couldn't handle.

Quote:
This is a replacement texture pack for Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. These textures were upscaled using ESRGAN and a custom model. This texture pack is intended for use by mod authors as a base for their own high-resolution retexture projects. Although this texture pack is usable without further changes, the textures in this pack are quite raw. Most of them have artifacts from the upscaling process, which in a complete effort should be manually removed by an artist.


Hey!

It’s too bad o didn’t do this while mzzt was still around


I still lurk on IRC. FWIW I use NSIS for all my installer stuff. Once you figure out how it works you can throw together an installer pretty quickly.

Also new JK stuff wow.

Took me this long to realize that I hadn't made emissive materials for JKE's and MotSE's own textures used in JKGFX2019/MOTSGFX2019, so I FGR-quickly put them together and updated the mods:

That said, only today did I realize how glitchy Yun's saber is with all these additions (even though this particular example is already present in vanilla JKE):

a.) can you make a version of the mod that includes the glowy stuff and fixes, but uses the default models? I hacked one together myself for the previous version, but you'd have a better idea of what needs to be included than I would.

b.) do you want me to / is it possible to (???) add you to the JK neural upscale project so you can put the files there?
2019-05-11, 1:07 PM #349
A) These recent fixes affect the JKE materials used in the mod, so your version should be pretty much up to date otherwise (aside from Yun's saber blade issue). Been a long time since I've played JK with vanilla resources, dang

B) Actually, that would make a lot of things easier. I think you have to create a ModDB dev group first and then assign that dev group in the mod settings to achieve that

Not for MOTSGFX2019 yet, however, since MotSE itself - while included in my mod - is not fully finished and still has the pirate on the left for starters.

I'm having a small issue though. After installing this, weapon bobbing is too much, specially with the trooper rifle. Any idea how to change this?


I noticed that when you crouch in the game, the weapon bobbing is significantly decreased. Any idea how to make that "crouched" speed the normal one (and make the "crouched" speed a bit slower)? That could instantly solve this issue, I think.

Of course, after 21 years of editing JK, I have no idea to do that since my first attempts (editing some .key files that I thought were relevant) failed.

jksetwaggle()

Scaled by the player's speed. Not scaled by frame time, which is why it goes crazy at high framerates.

jkgfx2019 (JKE models) doesn't do framerates any favors, so I'm not sure what they're comparing against.
2019-05-13, 11:59 AM #355
Well, one fast(ish) solution seems to be that one should use darthslaw's JK ReCog.

But since the code for its waggle control has stuff like

Code: 
    SendMessageEx(GetInvCog(player, 1), user4,
        VectorX(waggle_vec0[wag]), VectorY(waggle_vec0[wag]), VectorZ(waggle_vec0[wag]), waggle_spd0[wag]);


Well, I don't know. Maybe some code like that could be put straight into kyle.cog?
Star Wars: TODOA | DXN - Deus Ex: Nihilum
2019-05-13, 12:02 PM #356
can you not send vectors directly with sendmessageex? interesting.
2019-05-13, 12:04 PM #357
The right fix is to patch JK to scale the waggle speed by frame time.
2019-05-13, 12:06 PM #358
Well, maybe a quick fix (or a bypass, more like) could be sufficient. Possibly.

Then again, with Jk ReCog, stuff like the thermal detonator sort of breaks the immersion with the transparency issues:

https://github.com/jdmclark/jkgfxmod/releases/tag/v0.0.11

Whole whack of stuff:

Biggest thing, I added some config options to make JkGfxMod look somewhat like the software renderer. Set "enable_texture_filtering" to false to turn off bilinear filtering, then set "enable_posterized_lighting" to true to make the lighting all ****ty and banded. It's not a perfect simulation but it's alright.

Added an option to disable bloom.

Finally got rid of that little flickering image of the menu in the top left corner that showed up sometimes.
2019-05-14, 2:01 AM #360
Nice, I don't think I've ever gotten the menu flickering issue with JkGfxMod.

Also, wow, software rendering. Even in 1998 with my P166MMX w/ ATI Rage II+ I always played JK with 3D accel on (at 512x384) because I couldn't stand the software rendering mode. Fuh-reaky
