Hi! You guys are probably sick and tired of testing stuff but could please someone DL and try if this demo even works. I posted it a while ago but it crashed on just about every machine. So I chaned some things and I hope it works now. I know it still doesn't work on some win9x. I only tested it on 4 machines running winXP and one running win98 and it worked there. (read readme.txt before use) DL : http://www2.arnes.si/~uteran/Unity-Voyage.zip [ EDIT ] : in the /config folder you have to subfolders (medium/large). If you wand to chaneg size of terrain just copy file form that dir to /config. medium = 512x512 large= 1024x1024 Thanks Edited by - _DarkWIng_ on February 17, 2002 8:52:10 AM Edited by - _DarkWIng_ on February 17, 2002 12:45:36 PM

EXCELLENT MAN !! The lens flare was nice, it added a great effect. The terrain was nice aswell, and the skybox was purty

It ran silky smooth the whole time, even with the large terrain.

Win 98se
XP 1800
256 pc2100 ddr
WD 20 gig 7200
Hercules 3D Prophet III

keep it up man, it looks great.

A healthy humility and more realistic approach towards what you know comes from realizing what other people know, too.

It's not what you're taught, it's what you learn.

Mirko, just a quick question/tip... why do you need to clear the depth buffer after drawing the skydome?

Wouldn''t it work exactly the same if you just disabled depth writes (ie glDepthMask) while drawing the skydome (which I assume you draw first, before drawing everything else) ...this way, you don''t get your landscape clipped by the dome, and you avoid a clear operation... its all good

Another added bonus of this approach is that no matter how high some object may fly in the sky (like a plane overhead or sumfin), it will never go outside the dome... it reallt makes the sky seem infinitely far away...

Bad Monkey : I know about that. But that''s an old demo. I fixed it some time ago. LOTR demo will have this fixed.

I only get 0.1 fps on my win2k box...
It is not playable (shame, it looked really good!)

* voodoo5 5500 (64 megs)
* athlon 950 MHz
* 256 Mbytes RAM

there''s nothing wrong with my system (i hope), Quake III plays at 50-90 fps on average w/ full quality... Is there something about the Voodoo5 that doesn''t go great with your demo?
