Freyja 0.9.5.1 Python

Freyja 0.9.5.1 with Python build for Win32 users support is up. Right now you don't get a full Python modules system like Linux users, because I had to bundle Python in kind 0f peicemeal. You can just copy all the *.py* files from a Python install into your Freyja directory if you need more than the provided modules.

I'll look into supporting separately bundled Python or come up with a 'modules' pack. I really don't want to have to start bundling Python for Windows. =)

Nod support

When you see screenshots like this you should think. Wow, fixing the legacy plugins is a good idea AND it might not hurt to allow material color shading for grouping. You can see that the 'two skeletons' now agree, and that's good. The bad news? I have to fix all the other plugins before I can remove this debug rendering. I might have to make it an option like the ray trace debug, and disable it by default. =)

Oblivion under WINE

Took a little break yesterday, and got Oblivion running under WINE with AIGLX.
Wine 0.9.29, Oblivion 1.1.5xx, Nvidia 9746, Installed and patched from inside WINE so the WINE Window's registry is correct.

regedit keys:
OffscreenRenderingMode fbo
VideoMemorySize 256
UseGLSL enabled
etc

Oblivion.ini ( various tweaks )
bForce1XShaders=0
bSaveOnInteriorExteriorSwitch=0
etc

It's your birthday - go party

Just letting you know tomarrow is my birthday. I might not be on the fourms as much as I have been this week. I guess now is a good time to announce a new Windows build of freyja should be posted tonight. It might end up being just a patch, since I haven't decided what all is going in the package yet. I don't think enough plugins have changed to warrant an all new dump.

The lineageIIraw2obj alpha 5 is up, and support for Oblivion and LineageII in VFS+plugins should be wrapped up fairly soon. I don't think I'm going to have time to add ZIP to VFS, so I'm punting that feature again. I will however take a look at Milkshape/NOD/NAD support, and tune up the animation system with a focus on getting those working well. I've seen a few reports about the 'double skeletons'. That is what we in the industry would call the debugging of two parallel systems at the same time. I'm sorry it gave you nightmares, but I'll see what I can do to resolve the skeletal system(s). Several plugins use the 'old way', and now I'm trying to also push in 'the new way'. It's just visual debugging junk.

LineageII alpha debugging

If you want to help with the alpha test for the updated LineageII/UT mesh extraction tool and plugins in Freyja then come on over to the fourms:

There are a few screenshots up including the most complex model I've seen so far lilith. Come help debug one of the most popular plugins / tools for Freyja.

Update:
I just dropped alpha 3 of the cli test utility.

Ok then...

This is becoming a blog of screenshots... one last time. Here is the fairy in all her glory for those that must have textures and shaders. I will NOT write a distortion shader or particle snow, so get over it. ;)

I always loved the art direction in LineageII. It's the best looking MMO still, however they still use GameGuard so there is no playing it in Linux anymore.

...and fairies

Here was the model you saw in the scatter plot in it's full glory. I have the textures dumped out, but I'm too lazy/unwilling to match them up for a simple test app screenshot.
