Does the library use any canvas? Iirc they're cleared on setMode.

No, it doesn't use canvases out of the box. And even if it did, canvases can be recreated. This library however will stop working completely as soon as setMode is called and will not work again even if required again. Believe me, I've tried.

I'm sure there's something that can be done.

Here's my modified version, comments and all:

They're different because they were based on the same library, but we went different directions. Mine includes a "colorization" feature for fog and darkness or ambient lighting. (Since I was originally using it for my older 3D rail shooter projects and such.)

But I'll instead work on trying to rewrite the library and post a thread if I can't fix it. Maybe it's a bug. Since it doesn't seem to affect any other shaders, I don't know why it affects this one specifically.

Maybe David and I can look into it together. He seems really good at bettering me anyway. Haha.
The setMode bug is very annoying. Although, I do have a version of pers.lua that does begin working again after being re-required. It's not ideal, but it works. I'm currently on a cycling trip, so I'll manage to fish the code out in around 10 hours.

I am currently also looking into rewriting the library. Look forward to working with you. :awesome:

I'm on Windows. The problem with the thing not reloading has to do with the following part of the library:

Code: Select all

module(...)
So if you declare the pers thing as a table and all the functions as part of the table:

   end
   -- lgr.setBlendMode("alpha")
   setEffect()
end
You can then re-require it by doing:

Code: Select all

love.filesystem.load("pers.lua")()
Also, I think xXxMoNkEyMaNxXx messed up the colour masking of the pixels. As you know, the shader does not take into account love.graphics.setColor. To fix this, replace the mask function of the pers.lua (as it is already done in my example) with:

Code: Select all

vec4 mask(vec4 base,vec4 over)
{
   return base * over;
}
Hope this helps!

Started experimenting with the playmat library. So much tinkering around. I think I might be getting somewhere, but I'm not sure.

EDIT 2:
I remember running into very similar issues with projection when I was integrating your floor drawing quad library thing into mine. I should have a version of the my project with that code in there. I'll try to find it tomorrow and see if it helps.
Note to self: try drawing the floor canvas with the image size (32), not the expected size. Adjust player coordinates accordingly. Investigate exactly what "zoom" is in playmat. Could be that setting it to 32 and drawing image size as 32 will make things work.

woah, thx it works.

Also as I see this shader thing is really a hit and miss thing. Until we get a perspective correct texture mapping mesh draw this will be a recurring problem.

If you can get Playmat working and compatible with the same variables we use (My eye height is more like .75 off the ground instead of .5 so it's not directly centered) it would probably speed things up quite a bit. So much less drawing, shader calling and calculating.

I'm on Windows. The problem with the thing not reloading has to do with the following part of the library:

Code: Select all

module(...)
[/code]

I knew it was that module() line. That's why it needs to be rewritten.

I really don't want it to be meshes. They're too complicated. I'd much rather it be done in a simple extension of the polygon function. Something that accepts an image or an image/quad pair and a bunch of points and does what this does without the need for shaders.

Alternatively, fix meshes so they correct texture distortion properly instead of going all PlayStation on us if we have to use meshes.

So after experimenting with playmat for around 5 hours today, I came to the conclusion that using playmat is not going to work out for raycasting. I believe this has to do with the difference in the method of projection between raycasting and mode7. So as a conclusion - I'm not going down that rabbit hole. I will, however, attempt to rewrite the polygon library.

Yeah, it looks way too complicated to get working perfectly. It's best for Mario Kart/F-Zero clones and stuff.

I suggest making sure the new one keeps my ability to "shade" the texture to a certain color. It's very useful for fog and darkness shading. Just go ahead and steal it from the code I posted above. If not, I'll just end up putting it back in anyway.

Basically you replace this one line at the end of the shader:

Code: Select all

 return mask(colour,Texel(img,mod(uv*rep+vec2(p0.x-1,p0.y),one)));
With this: (Edited to remove some weird code that didn't seem to do anything but make it look more complicated.)

Code: Select all

vec4 tex2 = Texel(img,mod(uv*rep+vec2(p0.x-1,p0.y),one));
vec4 tex3 = Texel(img2,one);

vec4 diff;
diff[0] = (tint[0] - tex2.r) * tex3.a;
diff[1] = (tint[1] - tex2.g) * tex3.a;
diff[2] = (tint[2] - tex2.b) * tex3.a;

tex2.r = tex2.r + diff[0] * tint[3];
tex2.g = tex2.g + diff[1] * tint[3];
tex2.b = tex2.b + diff[2] * tint[3];

return mask(colour,tex2);
And it will accept a vec4 with the RGB of the color you want to shade it and the alpha value will be the intensity. It's extremely useful. If I could, I'd change it to allow for four tint values for each corner and have it gradient between them like a mesh would. But that's way too complicated for my feeble "failed algebra in high school" brain. So this works fine for now.

A better solution would be if Löve gained this ability to "correct" texture warping built-into the mesh functions. Perhaps as a special mode. But I'd prefer a love.graphics.texturedPolygon() function instead.

Edit: Also note that I also modified my copy to allow for sending a different render resolution to allow for rendering to lower resolutions than the window resolution. So that would need to stay. Though I just tested it and maybe it's not needed anymore.

But there's also some code I put in that allows you to send a secondary image with alpha values that would be merged with the original image apparently? I don't even know. I've added so much code to make it fit my projects.
