• Badspot started lazying off on development and not caring about add-on developers.
• Ephialtes got hired at a new company and didn't have time for Blockland
• RTB hosting got DDoS'd
I admire Ephialtes for giving up on the community after he realized it was a toilet. From now onwards, I will also not help this community any longer because you don't appreciate what I did for you. I got bashed by the usual players whenever something went wrong with my hosting service. In the end, forumers were happy it sank. Most of my creations received negativity and no matter how hard I tried to prove I had changed, the community bounded back to their old 2012 views on Hammereditor and Pacnet.
Just like Ephi, I will not be nice to you if you're not nice to me.
shut your whore mouth. Klk was perfect.
In fixed function openGL, you can only have 8 lights. You can get around this by setting up different lights for different pieces of geometry before you render them - we tried this and it works, but you get all sorts of ugly splits in the lighting where it changes from one chunk of a build to another. Also the overhead of searching for nearby lights starts to add up - the data structure might have to be refined or replaced.
With shaders, we're calculating our own lighting values with some vector calculations. So you can theoretically have as many as you want to calculate. The problem is glsl shader compiling is done by the driver, so the compatibility between cards is stuff. It took quite a bit of fiddling just to get something that would work most places, including some insane stuff like the unrolled lighting array because some drivers just can't do arrays or loops for no reason.
I'd have to make a script that would piece together the shader based on your settings and what kind random failings your card/driver has and that sounds like a big pain in the ass.
