I fixed up a few problems relating to trench tiles messing up in a certain area, turns out I just had the same model twice…

Also added a collision and gravity system, its not perfect, but it fits my needs. Maps can be made of hundreds of models, mostly repeating, and I didn't have any time to figure out how to use the collision examples for U3d for my needs.

So I'm impatient and just cut the code from my pre-U3d code, intending to make it more accurate later.

I've also disabled the water effect for now, as a new effect conflicts with it.

The new effect: Double pass fog.

(The normal view and then the two fogged overlays)

I got the idea while looking at the volumetric fog example for U3d, found on its message boards.

It consists of a single camera the renders a heavily fogged and darkened version of what you see, and then a less heavily fogged. One is rendered at 128x128 and the less dense fog is rendered at 256x256. The two are then layered over the may overlay to make a more out-reaching looking fog.

New demo release:

Engine Demo 2 (3.5mb)

Texture pack (5.5mb)(needed if you haven't downloaded the previous demo, if you did, just copy the gfx folder from the old one.)

Best map coords to run:

0x, 0y – 3x, 0y – 4x, 0y – 0x, 2y – 0x, 3y –14x, 14y

New requirements:

1.5ghz processor

512mb ram recommened(may run on 256, untested)

64mb video card.

*With the water disabled you no longer need to have a card that supports pixel shading.*

Number pad + and - increase amount of fog
