Dynamic sky and time in PR.

[Alek-say]

Hi!
I've found this video on YouTube:

As far as I know, Mosquill is also Dev of PR. So, is possible to see such work in the 1.0 version?

I believe there where a couple problems with it

there was a thread on this a while back

So, it's impossible...

I believe the problem with this is that it works only with dynamic shadows, thus would look odd as lightmaps are static (pre rendered shadows basically)

It's not impossibru, but requires some external stuff to tell BF2 what sky setting to use (you can refresh the sky settings while playing, but has to be done clientside).

Yeah, the lightmapped shadows don't move. But if you don't use full day/night cycle, but just a few hours, it isn't that obvious. And even if you do use full day/night cycles, I doubt people will notice or care .

By the way, I saw many good ides in Mosquill's videos. But, as I understood, it won't be in PR too. Am I right?

It would look so bad if shadows are being cast in the opposite direction that they should.

I believe it was stated that somehow all objects could be set to render dynamic shadows, however the performance hit would not be worth it (the engine doesn't handle it well)... or something like that.

I believe you are correct

I believe you are correct

I dont think so. IIRC, 3d scopes were only a mosquills video some time ago, and now we have them ingame. Or was it adjustable GL sights? And backup sights, Mosquill showed them on a video, and now they may come ingame, if im not mistaken.


I think that many of things that we see on Mosquills vids will never get ingame, but some of them might..
