Meph, thanks, but obviously my card supports OpenGL so all I had to do was disable creature sprites and it worked fine Messing around with settings (and your card settings too maybe) solves the problem. Also everytime you press something in the same column with the Printmode, the settings.exe changes the ini.txt and sets the printmode into something else other than STANDART. So one should remember to edit the printmode in the ini after fiddling with the options in the settings.exe.

But this plugin is truly amazing..

Actually that should only happen when you change the tileset, since it replaces the entire init with a new one. All the other settings just toggle values inside the file and shouldnt interfere with the print mode.

Still, no TTF is a big problem, at least for me. I have so many long reaction names, which are perfectly fine with TTF, but get cut off without it.

Would it be possible to make specific creatures emit light? Namely an option to do so with LIGHT_GEN creatures.

current version only accepts creatur mats, so you can do blood or a secretion that covers the creatur. But warmist mentioned a version that supports both creatures and itmems... the drawback is that it is a lot slower then the current build.

I haven't noticed big slowdown. But my pc is quite a monster

Oh god, I've never been torn this much over usability and a 'mod' ever before. Truly wish by some miracle of the gaming gods that it'd be possible to have this mind blowing light plugin work with TTF!

Did not notice how much I had gotten used to them!

But man, does that lighting ever change the mood of your fort!

Hey fabulous people!

I'm in the process of integrating DFHack r4 into Masterwork (mod).

I'm wondering if there's a DFHack r4 binary-compatible rendermax plug-in that I can download? That would make my integration live much easier.

Waiting for official r4 release mostly

[Meph]

Same here. I"ll wait, before I start with r4.

[Meph]

Sorry for the double post, just wanted to give this a bump. MDF has now been released with r4, and Rendermax is the last plugin/utility that needs to be updated. So... no pressure.

[Warmist]

i'll try to figure out which version is that. I'm a bit confused about current dfhack versioning. I'll try to merge in the rendermax so it would be released with dfhack.

[Meph]

I am basing everything on this:

Windows r4 link: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8068
Linux r4 link: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8067

New stuff: https://github.com/expwnent/dfhack/blob/0.34.11-r4/NEWS

Also forgot to put in that document: the eventful script now exposes EventManager events to lua scripts. See the lua documentation for details.

[Warmist]

Um updated the plugin to r4. afair i added something from last version bug can't remember what...

[Meph]

Thank you. I will add it asap.

I am not aware of any bugs in the last version, except for the "crash when window/resize".

ah my nemesis. I'll think about adding light propagation in reverse direction (i.e. lava pits lighting from below) and maybe generalize the light in z direction (big spaces could be lit up by chandeliers hanging up above, could be hard/processor intensive). Currently what i don't like that the light falls off too fast imho. Maybe a hdr mode? Like having sunlight 1000 or something that big and simulating eyes getting saturated (no values over 1 displayed) and renormalized (like reading from lcd is impossible in sunlight, so lava would not appear to glow in sunlight)...
