Experimental version of the new technology

[Funkwecker]

was online for a short test, no real problems so far great job was superised (before the new client I crashed a lot on amun)

ah on amun the xim-colours don't really come out they're just really really fair almost white. on the normal server everthing looks fine.

Some updated info about the "not being able to enter a fort without a gate" bug:

• You can enter a fort with a door
• You can enter a fort without door if you are in viewrange when the door brakes
• You can not enter a fort without door if you were not in viewrange when the door broke
• If you were in viewrange of a door that broke and then went out of viewrange, you cannot enter when getting back into viewrange.

Those colours look quite nice
But I've got less problems in safe mode. (+open gl) (Less doesn't mean no at all, second screen)

My dwarf's beard is displayed almost correctly in open gl + safe mode, now his hair is too dark. (third screen)

Direct 3d safe mode isn't really a safe mode Fourth screen safe mode, fifth shader 4.0.

Switching between regnum and other windows also causes this problem:

And fps drop, too. Example: I start the game in 1280x1024, (20-30 fps) and change it in-game to 1024x768. (10-20 fps, although it's ~40 when I start the game in 1024x768)

(As well as switching between fullscreen and window)

I noticed the slower character movement goes along with CPU drop. (The less %, the slower is the character)

I've had to unistall the new version, keeps crashing while loading resources...

I played in amon and horus alitlle the new tech test ro.It was verry smoth and i play at 1680 resolution.Some graphic glitches but mostly the graphic is great .The lights are kind of shiny tho it need to be cool down a bit i think.
There is a thing that make no sense.

The maximum distance you can view its a great improvement to the whole game but it make no sense at all in this state as it is now.I can see far as like 1 km ,trees water and all the nature elements rocks and things but mobs and other characters i can see only from 30-50m.This is unacceptable (like an unfinished cartoon picture) and it look very weird to not see movement after like 50m distance and only clean nature.Make a setting that will let you see mobs and players in the far distance too or the improvement for distance is in vain.

I run a xp windows : quad core 2800+ processor ,4 giga ram ,ati radeon 2900 xt and 300 giga ram.


PS: Ngd make a really great work and as an old mmo player i think this game soon will be a big hit with this new graphic but some changes are in need anyway

Just a small addition to this. Even though I couldn't get through the door, I could target people on the inside and attack them from range.

Only noticeable thing was the shadows which killed my fps no matter the settings. Otherwise the game run pretty much the same fps as before and looked pretty much the same without the shadows as earlier.

Everything works fine, no problems with startup, I am very happy to be able to access new engine on official servers, it all looks so professional!

except for the hardcore bloom: wtf? I can't see my character


It's true, the character reacts slower, as my whole PC somehow. Basically, everything runs very slow.
I enabled all graphic options on the highest possible way, using OpenGL.
I also have one question. Where did the atmosphere go? There's no "fog" at the horizont. Everything is very clear and sharp and that disturbs me. Is there an option to turn it on?
Also the terrain view max distance is very low for me :S just a circle around my character. So in overall, I want to play on highest graphic options (being able to play games like Assassin's Creed on max graphics makes me sure my PC can deal with your new engine), but it really slows me down.

So I switched to Direct3D with medium graphics (still shader 4.0), everything works faster, but then everything is blue ;/ (I know it's night, but it was too on previous options) and no bloom effect is visible (I changed mostly texture levels)

BUT NOW! the thing is - I run. I run and I see everywhere shadows moving all over the ground.

So apart from those weird things, everything seems to be fine at the moment ;]

All tests made in 1680x1050x32, full screen, Shader model 4.0, all graphical options maxed (options at the server window and ingame options), Amun server.



with Direct3D :
Can't see NGD's animation at startup, after having chosen the server (black screen, just sound), everything is fine after that.
Tremendous light bloom at the character selection window, some position defaults (staff 15cm from the hand, nothing really bad).
Once online, movements are smooth, really fluid. All I can see is a strange light bloom around my char while I move and an annoying aliasing effect, especially with shadows. Strange "lines" are visible in shadows. No other problem noticed so far.





with OpenGL :
Ugly graphic artifacts instead of NGD's startup video, sound still fine.
Same light bloom at the character window, same position bug.
Online, movements are terribly slowed and laggy, fonts aren't properly shown, the strange light aura is still visible (barely in the screenshot, but it's there, I promise).
