Cubemaps are great!

[Nahuel]

I do not know anything about engine programming.
Why doesn´t support this feature the new darkplaces version ?
What is the problem about cubemaps?
Thanks for your request!

hmm, seems like a nice feature !

dp supportws cubemap lights, just needs a specially crafted cubemap rather than using the 2d texture as-is.

if you're projecting a window texture like that, cubemaps probably are not ideal, as they tend to require point light sources rather than any other projections

Hello Nahuel,

Just like Spike said:
DarkPlaces does support cubemaps.
You dont need to enable the -tenebrae command for this.

I use the february 3rd 2011 build (as I told you in all my PMs) and it supports them just fine.

Cubemap examples can be found in Romi´s rtlights for ID1.

Screenshot comparism with and without Romi´s cubemaps in above mentioned 2011 DP build:





Kind regards,
Seven
