hacker man

having found the water surface areas I can now set up an array of them and split the surfaces into an array of water levels

14:45

which i can then draw using the freeform

14:45

@TsFreddie

cool

programmur

@Stiopa Now add weather that makes water levels rise and sink

doubt

15:04

nice

^^^^

15:33

this is more than ideal!

16:14

something here is wrong, what is it

Image attachment

17:06

I think that's a bit too much precision... (edited)

lol

17:07

nice progress tho hackerman.

17:08

looks like i don't need to chime in afterall.

17:08

well... you haven't seen the code XD

If it works it works

17:11

You can always refactor later

maybe now I should add some kind of wave...

The biggest lie programmer tell themselves

Not if you're disciplined, which, admittedly most aren't

me as I ask myself how to apply the wave physics onto the vertex:

17:19

thonk

that paper

17:27

zatline sent before

17:28

was vertex based i think

ye ye I glimpsed through it and that's why I decided to use vertex ^^

17:31

well I guess I will try to figure that out soon

17:31

17:31

it looks nice rn

17:32

I'm just wondering if one vertice per pixel isn't too much ^^

17:32

so far it runs just fine

Emm what

1.0f = 1 pixel, right?

I think you only need like two or four per tile.

I have like 32 per tile rn :D

justatest

17:34

How many triangles do you have

FPS wise it runs just fine so far

17:34

uh

17:34

well

17:34

count

vertex*

17:34

vertices

Also I was think replacing the entire water layer with vertices.

entire water layer?

17:35

well.. currently only the top is animated

17:35

so I restricted it to only the top tiles

if we draw the entire thing, we don't even need water sprites anymore.

well, I'd like to keep the water sprites intact for a "non-animated" water option

17:37

so that potato pcs don't have to worry about FPS

Then you can have only four vertices for static water

17:37

Which is much faster than tiles

17:37

Since a tile is four vertices too, but you have a lot of them (edited)

huh

I don't think animated water would eat a lot of performance if you don't need it to be physically accurate

17:39

Just keep the vertices down a little bit. It would probably require less vertices than water tiles

idk I'm still a newb. especially in all things rendering related :d

tee_thinking

I don't write graphics stuff often too. But I can guess themadman

themadman

wel... I don't ... at all :D

bluestripe

right

uh

17:45

have some "waves"

17:56

yeah 32 is probably way too much ^^

18:00

@TsFreddie you were asking how much was being rendered (edited)

18:00

answer: caused fps drop from 300->230 (edited)

18:00

so... a bit (edited)

themadman

corrected fps drop value

18:02

I guess I will consider 8 vertices per tile instead of 32 ^^

I am not sure oyu can run teeworlds on "low fps"

@Stiopa Is it possible to make the vertex count per tile a setting? So people can decide what looks and works best for them and their machine? Could also see a 2 vertex one working fairly well. Blocky but smooth ^^

@Blade thought about it and it really depends on how the algorithm for the waves works

21:41

if it will be simple enough then I will introduce a setting

Cool! Thanks

i want to host my server on my pc, how do i do this ?
