"New Sprites finished (Sprites with indipendent Axis and Orientation, also dynamic Fading and Scaling) "

I don't know, but doesn't that stuff defeat the purpose of why "sprites" where invented in the first place?

( sprite since Atari " missle player graphics" days, and DOOM)

i love the cloud emiter,btw: why we use 3 different site's?,i mean most of us have a acc on Oldunreal/UT99.org and this site

and those weapon shaders make UT99 look like borderlands

(played it once,found it boring though)

you can clearly see the difference between standard all-axis and indipendent (z-axis in the video) axis sprites, that's it

simply spreading word, the average popularity ranking of the SDK @ ModDB out of ~11000 Projects is around Place 500 - 200, that's pretty good for an old Game, but not enough for me ha ha, I'm also touring through other forums, not specialized with Unreal Engine.

I really like the glowing shock rifle texture. How did you get that to work? I've tried to do something similar for a gun where the gun spawns an effect in PostBeginPlay with the gun's fatness+2 and set to be translucent and unlit, etc. Problem is, when you pick up the gun, the glow overlay effect stays on the ground until you select the gun, at which point it disappears (from the first person model) until you toss the gun back out.

What did you do to get those glows working?

it is simplier than it looks, the magick forumala again is named: Canvas. if you remember how a weapon is drawn (via hud/playerpawn each tick in postrender()) the only thing you have to do is drawing the weapon either with another controlled mesh or simple material shaders.

your method was the first step to go, but doesn't make the weapon update and render itself's overlay

the glow and everything then simply relays in the texture quality and how the texture brightness is handled (these weapon shaders may pulse, flicker, fade in/out etc. depending on weapon specific code like firing being picked up etc.)

to further "increase" performance when not completely using c++ this system is a hybrid between actors and objects, the only real actor there is the weapon(standardmodel)

All right, sounds good. I'll keep working. Do these effects work on the third person skins for guns too or just the first person / pickup skin?

they did work on the post-demo state of the SDK, but I removed it, since only a very few people cared if the pickup shines, has material shaders etc.

What kind of progress have you made lately. Everything shown and listed seems pretty advanced, so great job. Question; how easy/difficult is it to use some of the features that reflect the newer technology e.g., bloom, high dynamic range lighting, shaders, ect. Also, will there be bump map and normal material support or not? In the list of enhancements, I got the impression that the mentioned materials were different from textures, and immediately thought of the material shaders like in UE3, but wasn't quite sure since It doesn't seem to exist in the screenshots. Looks like good work, though, so keep it up.

Thanks.
Well I try to make the new features as easy as possible, since Build 161 (November Release) the SDK also features a well illustrated documentation.
Material Shaders are planned for future Releases, can't actually say if I'm going to try Bump / Normal Mapping. The January release focusses on the Particle Engine and Post Processing System.

Do you have an alternate mirror? The DL is currently awaiting authorisation, I can't get at it

Yeah, I load it up at my webspace. Last time ModDB authorized it by night from the 29th to the 30th...
