# OpenGL2
|
|
<insert ascii art here>
|
|
|
|
OpenGL2 is an alternate renderer for ioquake3. It aims to implement modern
|
|
features and technologies into the id tech 3 engine, but without sacrificing
|
|
compatibility with existing Quake 3 mods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
FEATURES
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Compatible with most vanilla Quake 3 mods.
|
|
- HDR Rendering, and support for HDR lightmaps
|
|
- Tone mapping and auto-exposure.
|
|
- Cascaded shadow maps.
|
|
- Multisample anti-aliasing.
|
|
- Texture upsampling.
|
|
- Advanced materials support.
|
|
- Advanced shading and specular methods.
|
|

|
|
- Screen-space ambient occlusion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For *nix:
|
|
|
|
1. This should be identical to installing ioq3. Check their README for more
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Win32:
|
|
|
|
1. Have a Quake 3 install, fully patched.
|
|
|
|
2. Copy the following files into Quake 3's install directory:
|
|
|
|
ioquake3.x86.exe
|
|
renderer_opengl1_x86.dll
|
|
renderer_opengl2_x86.dll
|
|
|
|
These can be found in build/release-mingw32-x86 after compiling, or bug
|
|
someone to release binaries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
RUNNING
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Start ioquake3. (ioquake3.x86.exe on Win32)
|
|
|
|
2. Open the console (the default key is tilde ~) and type
|
|
`/cl_renderer opengl2` and press enter
|
|
`/vid_restart` then press enter again.
|
|
|
|
3. Enjoy.

|
MATERIALS
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
OpenGL2 supports .mtr files, which are basically the same as .shader files, and
|
|
are located in the same place, but override existing .shader files if they
|
|
exist. This is to allow maps and mods to use the new material features without
|
|
breaking the map when using the old renderer.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of a material stored in one, showing off some new features:
|
|
|
|
textures/abandon/grass
|
|
{
|
|
qer_editorimage textures/abandon/grass.jpg
|
|
{
|
|
map textures/abandon/grass3_256_d.jpg
|
|
rgbgen identity
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
stage normalparallaxmap
|
|
map textures/abandon/grass3_1024_n.png
|
|
normalScale 1 1
|
|
parallaxDepth 0.05
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
stage specularmap
|
|
map textures/abandon/grass3_256_s.png
|
|
specularReflectance 0.12
|
|
specularExponent 16
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
map $lightmap
|
|
blendfunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The first thing to notice is that this is basically the same as old Quake 3
|
|
shader files. The next thing to notice are the new keywords. Here is what
|
|
they mean:
|
|
|
|
`stage <type>`
|
|
- State how this imagemap will be used by OpenGL2:
|
|
diffuseMap - Standard, same as no stage entry
|
|
normalMap - Image will be used as a normal map
|
|
normalParallaxMap - Image will be used as a normal map with
|
|
alpha treated as height for parallax mapping
|
|
specularMap - Image will be used as a specular map with
|
|
alpha treated as shininess.
|
|
|
|
`specularReflectance <value>`
|
|
- State how metallic this material is. Metals typically have a high
|
|
specular and a low diffuse, so this is typically high for them, and low
|
|
for other materials, such as plastic. For typical values for various
|
|
materials, see http://refractiveindex.info , pick a material, then scroll
|
|
down to the reflection calculator and look up its reflectance. Default
|
|
is 0.04, since most materials aren't metallic.
|
|
|
|
`specularExponent <value>`
|
|
- State how shiny this material is. Note that this is modulated by the
|
|
alpha channel of the specular map, so if it were set to 16, and the alpha
|
|
channel of the specular map was set to 0.5, then the shininess would be
|
|
set to 8. Default 256.
|
|
|
|
`normalScale <x> <y>`
|
|
- State the X and Y scales of the normal map. This is useful for increasing
|
|
or decreasing the "strength" of the normal map, or entering negative values
|
|
to flip the X and/or Y values. Default 1 1.
|
|
|
|
`parallaxDepth <value>`
|
|
- State the maximum depth of the parallax map. This is a fairly sensitive
|
|
value, and I recommend the default or lower. Default 0.05.
|
|
|
|
An important note is that normal and specular maps influence the diffuse map
|
|
declared before them, so materials like this are possible:
|
|
|
|
textures/terrain/grass
|
|
{
|
|
qer_editorimage textures/terrain/grass.jpg
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
map textures/terrain/rock.jpg
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
stage normalparallaxmap
|
|
map textures/terrain/rock_n.png
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
stage specularmap
|
|
map textures/terrain/rock_s.jpg
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
map textures/terrain/grass.jpg
|
|
blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA
|
|
alphaGen vertex
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
stage normalparallaxmap
|
|
map textures/terrain/grass_n.png
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
stage specularmap
|
|
map textures/terrain/grass_s.png
|
|
specularReflectance 0.12
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
map $lightmap
|
|
blendfunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Though note due to the complexity of lighting, dynamic light (including
|
|
sunlight with cascaded shadow maps) currently only works 100% on materials like
|
|
this, where the second diffuse map doesn't have its own alpha, and only
|
|
uses vertex alpha. YMMV.
|
|
|
|
Another addition to materials is working normal/specular maps on vertex lit
|
|
surfaces. To enable this, make your material look like this:
|
|
|
|
textures/vehicles/car
|
|
{
|
|
qer_editorimage textures/vehicles/car.jpg
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
map textures/vehicles/car.jpg
|
|
rgbGen vertexLit
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
stage normalparallaxmap
|
|
map textures/vehicles/car_n.jpg
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
stage specularmap
|
|
map textures/vehicles/car_s.jpg
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Note the new keyword, 'vertexLit' after rgbGen. This is analogous to
|
|
'rgbGen vertex', except a light direction will be determined from the lightgrid
|
|
and used with the normal and specular maps. 'exactVertexLit' exists as well,
|
|
and is the equivalent for 'exactVertex'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
DYNAMIC SUNLIGHT AND CASCADED SHADOW MAPS
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This adds a new keyword to sky materials, q3gl2_sun. The syntax is:
|
|
|
|
q3gl2_sun <red> <green> <blue> <intensity> <degrees> <elevation> <shadowScale>
|
|
|
|
Note the first six parameters are the same as in q3map_sun or q3map_sunExt,
|
|
and the last two indicate scaling factors for the map brightness and an ambient
|
|
light of the same color as the sun.
|
|
|
|
There are currently two ways to use this in your own (and other people's) maps.
|
|
|
|
1. Create your map as normal, set r_sunlightMode to 1, and add a
|
|
'q3gl2_sun' line after your 'q3map_sun' line in your sky material, like
|
|
so:
|
|
|
|
textures/skies/bluesky
|
|
{
|
|
qer_editorimage textures/skies/bluesky.jpg
|
|
|
|
surfaceparm nomarks
|
|
surfaceparm noimpact
|
|
surfaceparm nolightmap
|
|
surfaceparm sky
|
|
q3map_sunExt 240 238 200 100 195 35 3 16
|
|
q3gl2_sun 240 238 200 50 195 35 0.2
|
|
q3map_skylight 50 16
|
|
q3map_lightimage $whiteimage
|
|
|
|
skyparms env/bluesky - -
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The advantages with this method are that your map will continue to work
|
|
with the old renderer with the sunlight baked into the lightmap, and it
|
|
can be used with existing maps without recompilation. The downside is
|
|
artifacts like doubled shadows and uneven shadow edges.
|
|
|
|
2. Set r_sunlightMode to 2 and use 'q3gl2_sun' instead of 'q3map_sun' or
|
|
'q3map_sunExt', like so:
|
|
|
|
textures/skies/bluesky
|
|
{
|
|
qer_editorimage textures/skies/bluesky.jpg
|
|
|
|
surfaceparm nomarks
|
|
surfaceparm noimpact
|
|
surfaceparm nolightmap
|
|
surfaceparm sky
|
|
q3gl2_sun 240 238 200 50 195 35 0.2
|
|
q3map_skylight 50 16
|
|
q3map_lightimage $whiteimage
|
|
|
|
skyparms env/bluesky - -

The advantages with this method are that you don't get the artifacts that
|
|
characterize the other method, and your map compiles a lot faster without
|
|
the sunlight bouncing calculations. The downsides are that your map will
|
|
not display properly with the old renderer, and you lose the bounced light
|
|
that compiling the map with q3map_sun* in it would have.

TONE MAPPING AND AUTO EXPOSURE
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This adds a new keyword to sky materials, q3gl2_tonemap. The syntax is:
|
|
|
|
q3gl2_tonemap <toneMapMin> <toneMapAvg> <toneMapMax> <autoExposureMin> <autoExposureMax>
|
|
|
|
Each of these settings corresponds to a matching cvar, so you can view and
|
|
adjust the effect before settling on fixed settings.

|
|
|
|
I'd like to take this part of the readme to thank the numerous people who
|
|
contributed thoughts, ideas, and whole swaths of code to this project.
|
|
|
|
- Id Software, for creating Quake 3 and releasing its source code under a
|
|
GPL license, without which this project would not be possible.
|
|
|
|
- Zachary 'Zakk' Slater, Thilo Schulz, Tim Angus, and the rest of the
|
|
ioquake3 team and contributors, for improving massively upon the raw Quake
|
|
3 source, and accepting my and gimhael's modular renderer patch.
|
|
|
|
- Robert 'Tr3B' Beckebans and the other contributors to XReaL, for letting me
|
|
liberally copy code from you. :)
|
|
|
|
- Andrew 'Black Monk' Prosnik, Andrei 'Makro' Drexler, Tomi 'T.T.I.' Isoaho,
|
|
Richard 'JBravo' Allen, Walter 'Johnny Rocket' Somol, and the rest of the
|
|
Boomstick Studios, for contributing code, feature requests, and testing.
|
|
|
|
- Yoshiharu Gotanda, Tatsuya Shoji, and the rest of tri-Ace's R&D Department,
|
|
for creating the tri-Ace shading equations and posting their derivations in
|
|
simple English.
|
|
|
|
- Matthias 'gimhael' Bentrup, for random ideas and bits of code.
|
|
|
|
- Evan 'megatog615' Goers, for testing, ideas, and bugging me just enough
|
|
that I'd write documentation. :)
|
|
|
|
- The folks at #ioquake3, who don't seem to mind when I suddenly drop a
|
|
screenshot and insist on talking about it. :)
|
|
|
|
- And lots of various other random people, who posted on forums, blogs, and
|
|
Wikipedia, who helped in small but numerous ways.
|
|
|
|
If I missed you in this section, feel free to drop me a line and I'll add you.
