Fragbait0 went out of his and coded a tron 2 blurring effect into our mod HL-Death These picks are experimental on my part... What do you ppl think?
 
I thought you said your mods were too good to be mods

And I can't see any real blur, could get a better effect using the default programmable smartshader thats out there (OGL only right now).

lmao! my bad, i thought you were someone else :E

But yeah, try the programmable smartshaders out. They work with HL1 atleast.

These two are sourced from Verc.

Oh It's supposed to be a glow effect my bad.
 
well, the lights look better, but it also adds that horrible grid effect thing on the walls/ sky.

I'm using some very bissare settings. Im pretty sure they were;

r_glowmode 1
r_glowblur 4

I'v noticed r_glowmode 0 looks better (r_glowmode 2 disables glow) I'll keep experimenting with these until I find whats best. You'll probably have no Idea what I'm talking about theres a tut Here
 
Well hate to kinda dig up older threads but i missed this when it was new.
So let me set some things straight.

First, I pretty much copy/pasted this into out mod. I had to make a few changes for speed and so that the shader and CPU emulation mothods could play together.

Second, r_glow the the on/off CVAR for the effect. Setting r_glowmode to something other than 1 or 0 is not recommended. r_glowmode 0 will use a kinda CPU emulation where 1 will use vertex and pixel/fragment shaders. Obviously with the right hardware the shaders are faster if your CPU is retarded.

Kyo also linked the the shader-method tutorial on VERC. Both of the relevant articles can be found at:

Last note that the tron1/tron2 thingys have nothing to do with the two games, its like that because there are 2 articles on the effect. :)

Oh yeah on last thing. A link to a comparision shot i did..well actually our puny screenshot page. Damn i need to update that crap.
