Hi All - Happy New Year - Buying Traffic 4 Tribes Download

thats awesome. Yeah I think I saw it online. its the WW2 mod right?

anyway if you feel like coding sometime take a look at this bloom plugin for half life 1. i'm pretty sure the plugins are encrypted but that can be cracked right?

and also maybe this will help you. its a bloom for tribes 2 and I know that T1 isn't that far off so I'm sure it would be easy to reverse engineer the things they used to make bloom possible for T2

No, never did any work on WW2 mod. I didn't like the creator because he copied |K0RN|'s mod lol. And idk what bloom is

[S_hift]

Bloom is an oldschool way for games to mimic HDR or high dynamic range. I could help you tweak and test performance if you can get it working.

[Doctor_Arsenic]

At this point I am under the impression you know more than I do lol, depending on what you are trying to do I can help though. Sounds like a big project

[perrinoia]

Doesn't hudbot, and therefore also v1.4+, already add bloom?

[S_hift]

1.41 has the ability to handle bloom via OpenGL hooks or using plugins.im no programmer or coder but I am tech savvy.

I can't tell the difference between bloom and blur. Maybe it's because the video has a low resolution.

[S_hift]

yeah the video is low res. its also probably blurry because of the ambient occlusion, which was another feature of the hook broast was using. It could use some tweaking but here is a picture to give you an idea of the overall desired effect.

[perrinoia]

I prefer without bloom. It looks more realistic.

I feel like that effect was designed by someone who wears dirty glasses.

[S_hift]

that's why I would tone it down if we could work on a configurable release. Most games use too much bloom or over emphasize on it. Whereas tribes should just render it at finely tuned precision levels.
