MystyMood is here...

Nice contrib Loopix and free too Thanks!

Awesome contribution!
Thanx, Loopix!

Looks amazing Loopix, great effort !!
Thanks for the UC

Cheers

Amazing contribution.
Thanks Loopix

OY, Yes, my fav trees and will be for a very long time.

The green effect I liked alot and the red does interesting things with the waterfall splash spray too.
The night/day cycle is too fast for this demo though.

Thank You so much, i think this will bring me back to Gstudio. This looks fantastic.

thanks loopix, great contribution.

Hm...
What should I say... Nice screenshots!
Some things could be better/shorter solved and there are some things where the speed could be improved, but to change this for everything would be a LOT of work.
This should be good enough for beginners and contains a lot of stuff that should be even usefull for advanced 3DGS user and it worth for them to clean the specific parts and make them fit to their needs.
I think it was a good decision to release it for free, otherwise it would have need to be done nearly from scratch.
I am happy that I was able to test it already months ago and to contribute some stuff into it.

@Those calling Loopix a very good scripter (from my position as someone who still needs to learn that much):
Loopix seems to have sometimes awsome ideas on what others could like to have and how it could be realized (shoreline with shoremap) but he gets sometimes stucked on the easiest things and makes simple stuff far to complex. But who does not do that (I do)? Read the MystyMood Scripts and decide on your own if it is good, very good or amazing (hey, at least it works)

Oh, and thanks for this great contribution!
Slin

@Loopix LOL but I like to pretend I always liked green,

Thanks for the pointers, will dive in there and enjoy.

Wow this looks awesome Especially the shore and the caustics (?). How did you do the terrain BTW?

Great work
Adoado.

Great constribution!
But can you please tell me, how can I scale the terrain textures?? I'm not able to find this inside the script!

Thx, CD_SABER

Open the terrain_materials.wdl and change this in the "mat_terr_hlsl_1" material:


Code:

---

Out.Tex5  = inTexCoord0.xy*40;	// tiling texture red	
Out.Tex6  = inTexCoord0.xy*60;	// tiling texture green	
Out.Tex7  = inTexCoord0.xy*20;	// tiling texture blue	
Out.Tex8  = inTexCoord0.xy*40;	// tiling texture black	  

---

Thank you for the fast reply!
Now I got two other problems :-)

I put an object in level (a building) and assigned the "act_obj_set" function to it. When I run the level the building "jumps" after a second to another position...

The second thing is that I can't see my river in the level... but it works in the demolevel, i also use the same model... strange

This never happened to me...strange. Are you using hmp or mdl terrain? Is the "to_floor_norm" flag set or not (in the behaviour-panel)? Make sure your building is placed above the terrain!

Does anyone else experiance this?

If you have a ocean/lake watersurface, make sure the river's z-position is slightly higher than the other water planes. Also make sure you don't have any camera.clip_far/clip_near set in your own scripts...

If you want, you can pm me a download link to your project and I will examine.

Thanks for your work Loopix. And also to everyone else who helped make this.

Thanks so much for this free resource! It really is a great help to have all these things in ONE package that work together!

Ok, now I fixed both problems.
But there is another big problem :
The generated shadows do not have the right position... what went wrong?
heres a picture:

Look here

Another problem is that the models with the object action do not have the pan they have in med, how can I switch the auto-pan off?

For the terrain shadows:
Make sure your terrain has vertex #1 in the upper left corner (check that in MED by selecting the the vertice...you'll see the number at the bottom task-bar from MED). If this isen't the case, mirror or rotate the terrain until you get it there (might need to convert the terrain to mdl...and convert it back to terrain). You will also have to mirror/rotate your shadowmap accordingly (before it's used to bake the object shadows in). Also make sure your terrain center is at origin 0,0,0. This problem can appear by importing terrains generated with other software than MED....depending on the software.

For the pan angle:
Simply uncheck the "random_pan" flag in the objects behaviour panel

The random_pan flag is not checked!!!

Loopix it is a mark of good quality.
Thank U.

just, wow

Just to let you know...

There is now a lite-c version of MystyMood

Needs the latest A7 public beta to run.

Thanks for conversion to Shadow969 and to D3D who was the initiator!

Great, thanks for the effort

Cheers

All is really nice - weather, water, terrain! Only one criminal dislike here -- fps on 10 is tooo les to play anything maded on this map.
Possible in future this you could try balance.

I have constant 60fps on my computers. Only on certain position at the waterfall the fps drops. If you get this slowdown on the whole map I think you must update your hardware and of course you can optimize the script to your needs and share your tweak with the community

wow realy realy NICE. THX...
Its run whit 35-60 FPS on a P4 3GHz whit 512mb DDR Ram and a geforce 6600

35-60 FPS on AMD 1400 Mhz, 1 Gig ram and Radeon 9250 So i don't think it's slow at all

Loopix that water is the BEST! Thanks man you rock so much!

I'm having problems with the water.... (lake) My player just walks over it, like it's a terrain. What may be causing this?
Thanks in advance.

What is your movement code? If i'm not mistaken the code inside the MM template is just a camera with collision.

Yes i'm using Kh movement code.

Try to add "ignore_passents" to your c_move code-line.

Nop won't work. I really don't see any problem at all, i thought there was something that could do this and i could have activated it...
I really dont see the problem... I scaled the terrain in wed, could that be the problem?

Why does the player and models dissapear when i turn the camera do the right?

I see the relation, because it wasen't like that, so when i tryed to make the player to go underwater it started to happend, and gave me other errors...

Edit: indeed, i'm right. I removed you're code, and the models don't dissapear anymore. I'm checking what could be doing this, but i think it has to do with the flare.

Edit Again: When i'm on top of the mountain that problem with the player just dissapears... Strange...

Alright i found the problem.
Somewhere in the sky_template is a camera.arc = 60;
I changed it to 80 now the distance to the player looks better, and he dont dissapear anymore, who would say that was the problem...

Another thing, why does the mountains of my map start fading and showing up, as i move the camera?

I was wondering if anyone is experiencing trouble with A7 and Litec and the demo. A6 seems to run fine. In A7 with the water shader on I get flickering. With it off I get no flickering. In Litec I get error messages stating it cannot find the model files.

I was playing with the effects and found that the water reflection is causing my flickering. I turned this off and it stopped. What would be causing this. I have a Radeon 1600 card and have not experienced any problems with shaders before.

I was playing around with the demo again and found that the demo only flickers when the screen resolution is above 800. 800 and 640 and everything runs fine.

a quick couple of questions loopix, is it possible to use this with a terrain created in paint shop? and if so would i use the terrain i draw as the blend map? i have tried it but it did not seem to work so i just want to make sure. thanks.

It' doesen't matter what software you use to create the terrain. Only thing you need is a rgb(and black) blendmap as first terrain skin...the second skin should be the shadowmap. Take a look at the demo to see how the terrain skins are setup and also look at the manual...then you should manage

cheers man, one other thing do i actually need a shadow map? i think i read in your how to that i can create one with your code?

The shadowmap generation is now setup to bake object only shadows directly into an existing terrain shadow map. It would be possible to change the code for creating terrain shadows too...but usualy most terrain creation software creates better shadowmaps then I could achieve with 3dgs.

Hi,

Loopix, this is awesome. Great job.

Now I have a question. I downloaded mystymood and I set it up like in manual. It worked, completely. But two days after when I start my project there is now sky textures. There is no stars, clouds, sky, only fog. And there is now sun or it is smaller(deformed). Everything else works how I want.
I haven't changed any mm scripts. What can make this wrong? PLease help...
Thanks

I just discovered this...Amazing! Thank you very much, I will use this in my project.

Are you using bsp-geometrie? If yes, it might be necessary to add a hollow block around your level with the "sky" flag on (in the texture settings)...also make sure you don't have any camera.fog_start/end...and no camera.clip_far/near settings in your own scripts.

Thanks. it works now, but there is another question.

When I build shadow for terrain it creates empty grey .tga file. And when I create caustics I get caustics on all terrain. I did like it says in manual.

does anyone know how to fix what I wrote one post above this one? Loopix? Again, when I'm generating shadow for the terrain script creates an empty, no shadows grey terrain_shadowmap_1.tga. I don't get it. Can anyone help please?

The only thing I can think of is that you haven't set the
dynamic_day_night var to 0 in the mm_sky_template.

If your Project isen't too big, you can pm me a downloadlink and I'll look what I can do. It's hard to say what could cause this. Do you use the c-script or the lite-c version? Wich version of 3dgs do you use? Do you use your own object actions or the MystyMood object action?

I..see! Actually I've corrected this already for an upcoming fix/update of MystyMood wich I will upload as soon as I'm done with some other small fixes.

Thanks Nidhogg!

nope. it says that dynamic sun (moving sun) will be set to 0 when in shadow generation mode automaticly. I even tryed to set it 0 manualy but same result every time. does anything special must be set in terrain skins in med or anywhere else. I tryed to make shadow map in your demo and removed all trees. now i get unchanged shadow map with trees like before. what i did is next. I checked on shadow gen in wed for terraing i ran it and i pressed g. shadow map was generating and when i saw green letters i shut down the engine with esc. I'm using 7.4 engine.

Please help. Thanks

You where asked, which version of MystyMood are you using. The lite-c or A7 c-script version. If your using the lite-c version did you have a look
for the the fix as stated above.

We can't help you if you do not give us as much information as possible.

c-script sorry I forgot to write this down. any help?

Try to update your 3DGS to the latest version and try again.
Maybe the version your using can't handle shaders properly.

You can download the latest update from the download page.

Good luck.

MystyMood is quite nice
I had decided to use it as a base for a project and it's been coming along nicely, but I've a problem.

Everything runs fine with 'run' but a published version will close after a few seconds. (A7 c-script)

I've noticed even without my additions to MystyMood this seems to happen.

No other problems with other 3DGS published works.

Does anyone have any suggestions on tracking down this problem? does anyone else get this issue when publishing MystyMood ?

maybe there are missing files in the compiled version?

Not as far as I am aware, I've compiled it into a resource.

You're correct. The resource had no directory structures etc. Thanks for the clue :>

Hello

First:Sorry for my bad english^^

I have a problem with the realtime water reflections.
After reloading or changing the level in the game, the reflections are wrong.
It seems, that the reflection cam stands on x0,y0,z0 coordinates.

Here is a screenshot
Screenshot
Its not a realistic place for water, but good to show^^
The reflections always rotates with the camera and dont change while walking around the level (red line)

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Greeting
Jonas
