Yes, but it'll have to be an fpm, since I only have FPSC Free.

Got an interesting message from Kill3r7 just now. It only reinforced my guidance on not having anything he has to say (or has created) posted here whatsoever. Also; he might want to consider growing up a bit.

I know roughly what was said, and it's not something that could be posted on the forum, so don't worry about it.

Bullet time
Change throw distance
Speed improvements
Minimap

Yeah, I hope so too, I put tons of work into this, and then this bug
comes and bites me in the butt. H6 mod that I've updated isn't
working too well either. *sigh*

It's a bug that I think I mentioned a few posts back, it crashed the mod
on all occasions, test AND build game. It was to do with the fullscreen
shaders not working, the latest unreleased build should fix this though.
It's compiling right now, and if it works, it's release time.

I know that feeling. Sifting through lines of code to find that one little needle in a haystack. Hopefully you get it sorted out. You've made some good progress and would be a shame to stop now.

Hey buddy, I don't mind you using my videos, but can you at least give me credit? Like a link to my channel to my channel or something...

...was watching the first one and was thinking to myself "this seems familiar"

Whoops sorry, you made the videos? I'll credit you right away, sorry.

@BlackFox
Yeah, and I constantly get that "hopeless" feeling too. It's not fun.

@Nomad Soul
I might be able to get it working by starting afresh with the v119 final version, and adding in my fixes. Since that fix I made didn't work, I'll first attempt to put in the test game fix, and release that as a beta.

Hey TZK, any plans on updating Corvus to 1.20 (when it's released of course)

This mod is looking wonderful (I'm sad that I Overwrote my 1.19 with 1.20 beta 2 before seeing this thread updated, since I wanted it when it was stable for 1.19) But the addition of video textures in 1.20 is an extremely useful tool, and another vital feature to not lose hope of advancing FPSC to professional "pro"tential

So does the depth of field only work with the mod? For some reason i had it in my effectbank, tried it as a post effect and it didn't work

Once again though, great work!

And I just now saw your H6 mod before finishing this post (saw you said H6 is better for low spec, lol, THAT'S ME! ...for now anyways)

My Craptop's Specs: Windows 7 Ultimate; AMD sempron 2.1 GHz single-core CPU; ATI radeon 3100 non-HD 256mb dedicated, up to 1.5 GB total; 3 GB DDR2 333 MHz RAM
Screen Resolution: 1280 x 800

I will eventually update it to v1.20, but right now, CorVus is behaving badly
And by the way, you don't actually install the current version of CorVus into your FPSC install, you're meant to build a game with an un-modded FPSC, and then install CorVus into the built game.
Also, ever since v1.17, FPSC has depth-of-field as a stock feature now, open up setup.ini and change this:



to this:



It might also be 0 instead of 1, but that won't matter.

0 = No posteffects
1 = Bloom
2 = DoF
3 = Lightrays

and sadly, H6 mod is being a pain to work with as well. I have made some progress with fixing a few of it's problems though.

...and thus ends CorVus mod and Xploid mod. Both mods have now become dead. Mainly due to lack of motivation. Please don't bother with CorVus mod any more, unless you wish to develop it. Xploid mod may have it's final release next week. Absolutely everything works in it except for fullscreen shaders. Of course it cannot be posted here, but I trust that you will be able to find it yourselves.

I've had a good run with CorVus, and it's been a great learning experience developing it, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and sadly this is CorVus' time.

There will be no further releases of CorVus mod, nor will I fix any more bugs. But hey, I may come back to it and continue one day.

@The Zombie Killer

This is absolutely devastating news and will be a huge blow for lots of the community. FPSC neeeded this mod.

It looks like we will need to wait as long for dynamic shadows as we did for bump mapping. Well I waited the first time around but time is no longer on my side.

For me this is a very sad day for FPSC. I really thought that Corvus or LR Mod was going to be the next big thing. Introducing Evolved's shaders into the engine was clearly the next step that needed to be taken.

Xploid mod is having it's final release on v1.20 or v1.19 next week, so that will probably be what you'll want. It has everything CorVus has, plus bugfixes and better performance. Dark Goblin can continue work on CorVus if he wishes, but I think he said he was going to start working on LRMod again, which reminds me, is there any news DG?

well...
Some of you might have noticed that I'm not really doing anything with FPSC for some time now and also the work I started some time back on a new LRMod version is far from being anything relevant.

I stopped working with DBP as I'm working as software developer now and have access to C++, C# etc and so it's a pain in the (put word in here) to get back to DBP (simply no IDE is as good as Visual Studio and the DBP debugger is ... bad).

I would still love to get it into FPSC and I follow Evolveds developments in his forum and saw that he is working on a new version of his advanced lighting which looks really promising. If this turns out to be good I might take my chance to port this over to FPSC. But seeing that he is not supporting his old AL version anymore shows me, that we should better wait for the new one and than start from scratch (well this is what I think).

Waiting is something we should be really used to by now and some months more don't hurt. If we than can get what we always wanted ( a FPSC engine with dynamic lighting etc) than this is what we have to do.
Let's just wait for him to finish the first new version and I will have a look into it and (by what I have seen) it looks really promising and the technique he is using now, sounds like the performance hit might be a lot less than with what we have right now.
I will definately look into the new version and than think about the "LRMod topic" again and if it might be succesful this time. And I still hope it, as this is what FPSC truely needs. A new lighting system (and maybe even a new universe system which is modular, so things can be added a lot easier than now).

So this is a pretty big text, but I just thought I share this with you.
Now it's time to wait... AND I WILL WAIT WITH YOU! ^^

That's great news! Thanks for telling me, in this case, I'll continue to work on CorVus!

EDIT: I just saw the screenshots on EVOLVED's forum, that looks awesome! I can't wait to put it in FPSC.

This is much better news. Getting Evolved's new advanced lighting into FPSC would be a massive achievement and clearly the way forward for the next big leap.

Here is the link which people should take a look at:

First we have to wait for him to release a first version of the new AL so we can take a look at it.
Than we can think about proting it to FPSC. It will need some work on the shader side I think, as I would still try to use the new way I wanted to go with LRMod Rebirth, that the static geometry does not need to be rendered a second time, so all AL shaders have to be adjusted so they work with the static geometry (so segments and static entities).
If this works out, one can think about proting the real lighting system over and adjust the render steps inside FPSC.
Sounds like a lot of tech talk? - That's what it is exactly

Would EVOLVED's new advanced lighting affect the lightmapper though? in terms of mem usage? (if ever implemented into fpsc)

Ys as I personally would switch over to a complete dynamic lighting system, in which the most lights just illuminate but don't cast shadows, so you can keep the framerate up and still illuminate your scene and have dominant lights which cast the needed shadows.

Yes like in Doom 3 a lot of the lights are 'filler' lights which just help illuminate the scene with a primary light which dynamic shadows are cast from.

The important thing is to give the designer choice for which lights cast dynamic shadows.

Getting rid of the FPSC lightmapping system will be one of the best things we will get out of this as it hogs so much memory.

Yeah a lighting system that calculates light on the fly like how you said would be great.

haha, that gave me a good laugh. Yes, development has stopped, but only until EVOLVED releases the new version of his advanced lighting, then CorVus will be better than ever.
