Thanks, that works much better.

Color-key blitting however does not, so that piece of API documentation isn't outdated. I do however remember that Jarmonik said it worked. So... how does it work?

oapiSetSurfaceColourKey should work. However, the ck parameter in oapiBlt does not work.

 

[jedidia]

Ah... that way! Ok, I'll try that.

I got it working, thanks.

Could these charts be of use to improving the particle system generator on-orbit?

Thanks. I'll put something in Announcements, but I think probably sometime soon, once I have a clear plan in mind.

It was less soon than I originally had in mind, because of work commitments, but the move will happen over this coming weekend. You might want to hold off committing over Saturday and Sunday. I'll post another message in here when I've moved the repo itself, after which time it should be safe to commit again.

Based on these photos from STS-110, the rendering between the actual planet and the atmosphere needs to be dulled quite a bit:

Right now it's sharp as a knife's edge.

SVN migration is complete; you should be able to commit freely once more.

Quick Q on PBR textures: How do you enable specular reflections with PBR textures? I have converted some of the SSU textures to the PBR format(s) but specular reflections are very much absent. I checked with the D3D9Client debug dialog and PBR is enabled and all of the textures have been loaded (frensel, normal, roughness). Have I perhaps missed a texture?

On the debugger window there are options to change materials in real time. For values coming from textures, check material property » tune.

Those options should give an idea of what changes to make to your .dds files (lighter, darker, whatever)


Of course, you need to have reflections active. Check the D3D9 options on Orbiter Launchpad.

I'm actually talking about sunlight reflections, not actual environment reflections (those work great). I have already tried playing around with the Tuning with no success whatsoever. This is what everything looks like right now: https://www.dropbox.com/s/342as8a4oq0wvmq/D3D9Client_no_sunlight_reflections.jpg?dl=0
From that angle and with the sun directly above, there should be sunlight reflections on the payload bay radiator panels.

My best advice it to create test materials.

Something like this

but with a values ranging from black to white instead of just black/white squares.

That will show what value ranges give the effect you need.

Hello,

some words for you kuddel to thank you for the D3D9 XPready version you made some months ago, that i tried for the first time last week, giving to me the possibility to see how D3D9 actually works with nightlights.

I'll try to complete my work on that subject including now - and it was necessary - the informations taken from the client to.

Thank you again

:tiphat:.

Hello,
I had copied the installation folder to another PC but now the Video tab does not apper in the launchpad when I start orbiter_ng.exe . What I have to do?

Did you remember to activate the D3D9 module in the 'Modules' tab -> Graphics engines -> check D3D9Client checkbox?

Yes

Also make sure that you have the correct DirectX runtimes installed. There is a link on Jarmo's D3D9Client download page.

Yep that solved it

From the site click on Documentation, there you will find RUN time libs.
