Hi there

Absolutely great work! I only got one strange problem: after test run a window callen Eata Lightmapper stays open. If it's not closed manually, the lightmaps are not baked anew. Deleting or adding lights then wont affect anything. How to fix?

I had the exact same error/problem with the "lightmapper" window. I finally fixed
it by making sure all my main .exe's (fpsc, editor, game, and lightmapper.exe) were
all set to "windows 7 compatibility" I think two of mine were set to something else?
That fixed mine.

Hi ncmako

Thanks, the windows are gone. But the shadow/lightmaps of segments without shaders are not updated yet. The lightning isthe same, even when lights are deleted. Strange thing.

Hi there

This did not help. I deleted the map and created it anew and the problem has gone.
For the problem with the lightmapper window i found a solution: in properties of "LightMapper.exe" set the check "Disable desktop composition", done.

There is another oddity with the textures. When saving the _S map with a pitch black alpha channel and reload it with ps, there is no more alpha channel. But saving without it will make the entity shiny like a lightbulp...

Best, Snake675

@ Nomad Soul Thanks for your help, I upgraded my graphics cards and all runs smooth now

@DEATH GOTH SNIPER Hi, nice to see you again Been awhile.
Quote: "Also wasn't there a command for a hud top all "

Black Ice had a few small changes to "hud" commands. Not sure if
you have seen it or if it will help any, but it's in the "doc's" folder. (black ice mod HUD system.txt)

Yes it's been a long time. Sad that this engine is dying.

I looked in the new doc but didn't find anything for a hud to top all other huds.
I have a my animated camera hud that has alot going on and an enamy that when seen it makes static almost like slender. When it's statics it's under my camera hud.

Noticed when updateing to the new black ice my lighting for my full level changed. They seem dull.

@Marco - There are currently no plans to integrate any other mods. We may look into this later on.

@Snake675 - Make sure you run FPSC as administrator to ensure files are being saved and updated correctly.

@Michael11 - If you try the movinglights demo you will see that normal / specular works with moving lights.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ic5jOThKg

@DEATH GOTH SNIPER - Glad you got it working. The commands you were asking about are there in the mod.
I believe the Hud command you are looking for is here

For the lighting, we changed the default post shader to a more optimised one. You may wish to increase the bloom values to your taste.

@ncmako - Glad you got everything working nicely and hope to see more of your 3rd person game.

Thank you that's what I was looking for.

Btw what shaders should be used with black ice the ones in nomadmod folder or the ps_3_0 folder. Thanks

Nvm I see the shaders in nomadmod folder seem to look a little better and seem to have a 4 fps increase.
I have to rework my game again with new shaders. I updated my files to point to nomadmod folder and clean all the dbo/bin files but still need to update the models already placed one by one

Yes I recommend using the shaders in the Nomadmod folder which are the latest ones and the most optimized.

We will also be adding the new shaders from uzi idiot in a future release so you may want to check them out too:

Your game is looking awesome but not sure I could play it without having a heart attack!

I don't know what's going on. Random entities cause fps drops when looking at or near . Anyone at random .
Say I have a small room with a desk, chair , rusty bed and a wall light and have 59 fps. But if I walk near the bed fps drops to 29 and goes back up if I stand there doing nothing looking at the bed fps goes up and down.
If I walk to the desk fps stays at 59.
I quit test game deleted all. Bin dbo files ran game now the desk will make fps drop.
I removed the bed and the desk and added a random box form ww2 and a bed from ww2 still did the same.
I can even put the game res to a vary low 800x600 no light mapping no shaders still will drop to 29 fps.

I also don't know why it's saying so much memory used bet when in the editor it's not that much.

@Michael11 - Thanks for your report. I will look into this in more detail when I get time.

@DEATH GOTH SNIPER - Its very difficult to isolate issues for peoples games. I recommend testing often and try to see when a particular entity or part of your level loses FPS.
I am working on a fairly large map at the moment and managing performance is something which needs to be constantly evaluated.

@xlghostlx

We are currently only supporting 720p as our default HD resolution.

Lightmapsun definitions are listed below. It sounds like this is a static light not dynamic.

I've attached an example map and the script you need for going underwater. Download these files and copy them into your FPSC installation.

I just tested with the playerbody demo and there is no issue when the player respawns after dying.

ok, i've tested the map, work good but, i wanted to do this only in water script without the trigger zone... There is no way to recognize water without trigger? for exemple:

enter inside water, when cam is under water the underwater.fx is activated and weapon is hidden (and if i change weapon, it don't work) when the cam leave water, auto show weapon and change to (im using bleachbyass) x effect... all this in water script, i don't want to use trigger...

oh, i've a problem with the build game, everything work, but when i try to build in generating lightray (if i remember correct) FPSC Game.exe stop work :/ i've tried to clear all level with no segment and entities but do the same, if i start a new map, this build correct -.-"

Hi

I have a problem with this mod. When I try to test a level from blackicemod folder I have an error message "build process has exceed 1.85GB of virtual memory, using 2092MB. Press CANCEL to abort this build !"
When I run in testmode sample levels from vanilla FPSC upgrade to 1.20, everything works fine. I also set lightmapquality to value 0, but nothing changes. Small levels loads with no problems, but the quality in testmode is low (lightmapquality=100) . Quality settings in FPSC are on full. Reshade option doesn't work for me... I have already reinstalled FPSC with Blackicemod, the issue still exists.


I have windows 7 64 bit, SP1, 16GB RAM, AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor 2.70 GHz Direct x 9.0c, 9.1 version of this mod, and FPSC is upgrade to 1.20 17a

It should be possible to activate water using a script attached to a dynamic entity rather than a triggerzone but I would use trigger zones for this.

Quote: "enter inside water, when cam is under water the underwater.fx is activated and weapon is hidden (and if i change weapon, it don't work) when the cam leave water, auto show weapon and change to (im using bleachbyass) x effect... all this in water script, i don't want to use trigger..."

All of this is achievable and you can use a command plrunderwater=X to detect if the player is underwater or not in the script.

Quote: "oh, i've a problem with the build game, everything work, but when i try to build in generating lightray (if i remember correct) FPSC Game.exe stop work :/ i've tried to clear all level with no segment and entities but do the same, if i start a new map, this build correct -.-""

I don't think lightrays are working properly in FPSC. I would recommend using godrays from the Reshade package we added for Black Ice Mod. Look in the tools folder.

Please ensure you have tried a fresh install of FPSC with a fresh install of Black Ice and cleared all the .dbo and .bin files. If a demo level runs on vanilla there is no reason why it shouldn't work using the mod, in fact the black ice lightmapper uses much less memory. Also try systemmemorycapoff=0 as xlghostlx said.

Hello Nomad!
Could you make version of BlackIceMod with old "lightmapper"? My game is built on version 1.20.17. I installed BlackIceMod half-year ago to use the new features and continues to develop my game. Some of my maps contain many static lights. Old lightmapper worked perfectly, I could remove lights, adjust "light range", change lightmapquality and all these changes took effect immediately. But now me harder to work with static lights...

@Michael11

The lighting system works a little diffrent to the old system if you move an entity it will redo all the lighting when you make changes to your map.

At this moment we don't think we will be making a version with the old lighting system as it uses to much memory.

Hope this helps

Can you guys mod in a feature/command where the developer can lock the fps of a game in the setup.ini file so that the gameplay of the game can be overall smoothened out.

@ Nomad Soul or S4real
If you have time, please look into the "screen preview" under the "build global" settings. Used to be able
to preview setting changes made to one's loading page, levelsetup ...ect. Now the "FPSC-screen.exe" seems to crash?
Any help would be great. Thanks
best

Edit: please disregard. After playing with this for awhile, a simple reinstall of V1.0 & upgrading
the problem appears to have fixed itself Thanks

@Mriganka - S4real has done some further work on performance in the next version which should help. We will look at adding your request later on.

@ncmako - Glad you managed to resolve the issue. I did try this out myself and didn't have any problems with the preview function.

I thought that feature was already implemented? This is from the Black Ice V9.0 "New Script Commands.txt" in the doc's folder.
setsyncrate=X: X= the amount of framerate you like.

Thank you very much for the work done, and Merry Christmas to you too!
Greate mod and no bugs were found by me. I am currently creating a commercial project, and really want to use this mod
Lighting with ReShade similar to x10, it is very cool! But I have here such errors in editor and in the final build. It's related to my graphics card, right?

Hi guys. In time of waiting for GG to be completed I tried this mod and is awesome. But i have got few questions. In latest update there was added feature "physically based shading". My question is .. if I add dynamic lightning to level shaders look better, but static objects dont have any shadows, except dynamic objects - i set it in setup.ini to have them on . But if i switch to static lightning, static objects have shadows, but shaders dont look that good... so my question is .. which lightning is better, and which should be prefered because with static lightning i dont like light circles on floor and ceiling. Thx so much for your answers and happy New year !

@ncmako / seppgirty - Thanks and hope your enjoying the update.

@5wee† - You are welcome to use Black Ice Mod for any commercial or non-commercial project. We only ask that you give us a mention in your credits.
The default ReShade settings we provide in v10 should compile successfully without any errors. There are some effects which are not fully supported because they require depth buffer to work properly.
Please note in built games you need to include msvcp71.dll, msvcr71.dll and msvcr100.dll in the root directory. Copy these from the main FPSC root directory.

@SorrowCrown - Dynamic shadows are not (and never have been) properly supported in FPSC. The shaders in Black Ice Mod support static and dynamic lights but only static objects cast / receive shadows during the lightmap process.
We recommend using static lighting except for specific lights which may need to use scripts or flicker etc. You can increase the lightmap quality in the setup.ini to get better results.

**BONUS RELEASE**

In order to celebrate the release of Black Ice Mod v10, we've put together a showcase demo which demonstrates how you can really get a lot of mileage out of the features available now with larger levels, faster performance, high quality lightmapping, AI, shaders and ReShade post processing effects.

You can download a playable demo from the website and credit to Disturbing13 who released the original dock level. We hope our update has done it justice.



Happy New Year!

Hi! I have question about physically based shading. I have created rock2_D.dds, rock2_N.dds and a copy of rock2_N.dds(Green Nature pack) and renamed it to rock2_I.dds. I edited FPE and put in effect : "effectbank\physically based shading\static_spec_norm.fx" . I also deleted .bin and .dbo files. But i have a feeling that it aint working right. Im posting here a picture.... ground is perfect, bud static entity not. If you can help me somehow i will be grateful, thanks

Watched the video. Looks incredible. Love the attack helicopter. The lighting looks great on D13's level. Nice to see ncmako's gun turret in there. Have to see how the level plays on my computer. You guys have really out done yourselves. Thank you.

@SorrowCrown - If you have already saved your map with the rock you will need to change the shader in editor properties as updating the .fpe alone won't work. If this doesn't help, please send the rock and textures to dev@blackicemod.org and I'll have a look.

@seppgirty - Thanks for your kind words and for continuing to support the mod. I've just tried downloading the demo and it worked ok for me. Please check if your antivirus may be conflicting with the executable.

@Nomad_Soul

The gameplay of this piece was very nice.

It is a request, can you guys mod the engine to de-aimbot the enemies so that they don't have superhuman reflexes. Along with timed bullet hit to imitate projectiles?
As I have made up the story for the Community Project, it would be a great addition to the gameplay.

And also a lot of thanks for the hard work on the engine!

PS - Are enbs supported in FPSC?

Awesome work guys.
I'm trying to find a way to allow a player to adjust the ambience within a restricted range (say 2-10) just to allow for differences in monitors, without destroying my game atmosphere. I'm told that the ambience cannot be read. Is there a way to accomplish this and if not, how much trouble would it be to implement?

Thanks.

UPDATE: 2S!K showed me a way to get around the issue. If you're interested, you can find his script here.
Still, a way to access the ambience directly would be nice if you could do it.
