107Project::OSiRiONeditorBug ReportCriticalMoving selection fails unless active entity is clickedAssigned
0%
Task Description

If you box-select a number of entities, and you want to move them, you have to drag the active selected entity.
CLicking any other selected (highlighted) entity will deselect the other members in the selection.

Dragging any member of the selection should work.

104Project::OSiRiONclientPlanned FeatureHighImproved inventory menu.Assigned
0%
Task Description

The current inventory menu is too confusing.

TODO
- tabs for cargo/weapon/equipment
- show weapon slots
- show mounted weapons inside their slots,
mounting/unmounting a weapon moves it back and forth
between slot and inventory

98Project::OSiRiONrenderPlanned FeatureHighMaterial texture stagesIn progress
50%
Task Description

To ease the transition to a multitexturing rendering environment, I propose that we fully adopt Quake 3 shader scripting. Currently, we support a simpler version with a single texture stage in mind.

DONE

- Support for material with multiple layers

TODO

- OpenGL multitexture support
- Improve syntax

Exmaple of current implementation:

shader/path/name
{
qer_editorimage path/to/texture
{
map path/to/texture
entity
}
{
map path/to/glow_texture
fullbright
blendfunc blend
}
}

---------------------------------
Quake 3:

shader/path/name
{
qer_editorimage path/to/texture
other_keywords
{
map path/to/texture
}
{
map path/to/texture2
blendfunc ...
}

97Project::OSiRiONclientBug ReportLowMove default fonts from ui::UI to ui::PAletteAssigned
0%
Task Description

The corrent ui code has default fonts and font size in ui::root().
They have to bo moved to the ui::Palette class and handled like
colors and related settings.

The initial default fonts should be set in the ui::Pallette class.

It might be better to merge ui-style related settings
into a single ui::Stylesheet class and read settings from a .css
file.

93Project::OSiRiONrenderFeature RequestLowAllow currently loaded skybox to be bound as a texture.New
0%
Task Description

We need this in order to clean up the material drawing(specifically the environment mapping section). This could also possibly enable us to use the skybox cubemap for nice reflection effects.

92Project::OSiRiONsrcFeature RequestMediumClean up of material, light, flare and particle color ...New
0%
Task Description

Clean up and homogenize material, light, flare, engine and particle color types and flags.

Those fx can be triggered by engine states (trigger_impulse, trigger_engine, trigger_destroyed, ..)
The color can be set as color_entity, color_entity_second, color_entity_third, color_engine, ...

TODO
- review/refactor: lights, flares, materials, and particles should have the some options for
triggers and colortypes.
The parameter names in .map file classes and .material files should be the same

0%
Task Description

If the testmodel window is opened, the current scene is still drawn.

Fixing this would provide quite an optimization.

66Project::OSiRiONsrcPlanned FeatureLowNebula supportNew
0%
Task Description

Support for decent-looking nebulas.

65Project::OSiRiONrenderPlanned FeatureLowMaterial blend modes.In progress
50%
Task Description

Shaders need a way to enable different OpenGL blending modes, like Quake 3's "blendFunc". This will allow special effects like light beams and 3d exhaust effects.

DONE
- blenfunc none
- blendunc add
- blendfunc blend

TODO
- blendfuncGL_SOMETHING GL_SOMETHING
- blendfunc filter?

60Project::OSiRiONsrcFeature RequestLowThrust Point EntitiesNew
0%
Task Description

For finer control of the ship, thrust points should be defined. Instead of the ship being pushed from its origin point, thrust entities would define where the force against the ship is coming from. This would allow for more realistic control.

If more than one entity is used, the thrust power is split between them, or defined by percentage specifically with entity keys.

59Project::OSiRiONclientPlanned FeatureLowImproved map menuIn progress
50%
Task Description

Improved map menu, implement a 'galactic overview'. Provide galactic coordinates for each zone.
DONE
- add Info record type for zone info
- add Zone location
- add galactic overview to map
- add Zone::info() to network message
- add Zone::flags()
- add Zone::flags() to network message
- add Zone::location() to network message
- add Zone::color() and use it on the galactic map
- add Zone::color() to network message

TODO
- mechanism to request zone map content in multiplayer games
- do not delete client-side ShowOnMap entities in multiplayer games
- show jumpgate links on the galactic map (this requires engine infrastructure)
- mechanism to show only visited places
- map zoom

41Project::OSiRiONrenderFeature RequestMediumLOD entity keys + Automatic patch LODNew
0%
Task Description

The engine needs a way to be able to use a LOD system for performance reasons. I propose a method for this: all brush entities(except worldspawn and misc_model) will have a 'lod' key. The existence of this key in the entity(as in, if it's actually set) tells the engine to enable LOD on the entity. The value for the LOD key would be an integer of 0 through 3. A value of 3 tells the engine to only render the brushes at 75% and above of the detail LOD distance. A value of 2 renders at 50-75%. A value of 1 renders at 25-50%. 0 renders at 0-25% distance. If the key is not set, the brushes will render at all distances(unless set to detail).

This allows two things: Patch meshes get LOD, and LOD gradually degrades with distance.

An alternative would be in patch loading. At model load, bake 4 levels of LOD for the patch meshes into the model, and apply the same rules as above. This may not be desirable because some patch meshes may be required to stay at full LOD for specific reasons.

The only downside to this is that it requires more memory to store the LOD models, but it would cut down on polygon count at render time significantly.

36Project::OSiRiONcorePlanned FeatureHighPlayer signalsNew
0%
Task Description

Implement a system where players can send arbitrary signals to each other
(arbitrary, from the point of view of the network protocol). This would be used
to send trade and docking requests, and to replace the silly 'hail' command
with a 'request for private chat'.

In the future this could also be used for other signals, like players declaring
their hostile intent.

It might also be possible to use the signals mechanism
to exchange targetting info.

35Project::OSiRiONrenderPlanned FeatureLowGLSL Shader program supportNew
0%
Task Description

Extend the current Material system to support GLSL shader programs. Normal map, specular map and glow map support.

34Project::OSiRiONclientPlanned FeatureHighImproved options menuAssigned
60%
Task Description

Add an improved options menu with video, audio, controls and game settings.

TODO
- video settings
- menu to configure game settings
- merge settings menus into a single, tabbed window

DONE
- menu to configure controls
- menu to configure player settings (name, colors, ..)
- menu to configure graphics settings
- menu to configure audio settings

33Project::OSiRiONsrcPlanned FeatureMediumSoundtrack supportNew
0%
Task Description

Add client support for playing background music.It should be possible to define a number of audio tracks per zone,
for the intro, and make provisions for 'battle music'. Investigate support for FLAC, OGG and MP3 audio formats.

30Project::OSiRiONrenderPlanned FeatureLowImproved particle systemsIn progress
70%
Task Description

Improved particle systems: weapon effects, engine effects, explosions, smoke...

An improved framework for particle systems unifying all of the above.

DONE
- Particle system code needs to support multiple ejectors per system,
at the moment a particle system is created for each ejector
- Add fine-grained control parameters (alpha start mid end) (radius start mid end) ..
See tremulous particles
- Streak style particles (aka 'trail sprites')
- replace [ejector] with [sprites] [flares] [trail] etc
- ejector thrust trigger
- ejector impulse trigger
- ejector explosion trigger

TODO
- Flame style particles -> needs thinking, how to do it exactly

Fuel System.

18Project::OSiRiONgamePlanned FeatureMediumEquipment TradingAssigned
0%
Task Description

The purchase and selling of ship equipment such as weapons.

17Project::OSiRiONsrcPlanned FeatureMediumTractor beam effectNew
0%
Task Description

Implement beam particles for tractoring cargo.

The tracktor beam is currently completely server-side,
this will require additional engine infrastructure or a hack.

Instead of 'beams' a general 'effect' could be created.
It is possible to create an entity holding a model with
a particle system (like projectiles) representing the 'beam-in'
effect (think star trek transporters).

On the other hand, implementing beam style would open the door
for beam weapons.

15Project::OSiRiONgamePlanned FeatureMediumPlayer-to-player tradingAssigned
0%
Task Description

Add player-to-player trading.
Implementation:

* Docking player ships should require owner permission
* Player shops
* Player must be able to decide what items to sell, at what prices.
*'tradeable' flag
*shop allows multiple buyers, player-to-player only one.
*Player factory ships, base factories, per-item adjustable conversion rate and ratio.
e.g. 2 units of niobum to 1 superconductor per 30 seconds

13Project::OSiRiONclientFeature RequestLowSupport for non us-qwerty keyboard layouts.New
0%
Task Description

Right now the client keyboard input code is hardwired
to a US-QWERTY layout. It should use the native keyboard
layout of the user.

At the same time, the code should be tested for UTF8.

12Project::OSiRiONrenderFeature RequestLowLight Flare OcclusionNew
0%
Task Description

Having light flares occlude behind objects would allow more detailed flares to be used. The following is a screenshot from Mass Effect, and is the back of the Normandy:
http://www.bioware.com/_commonext/images/me/screenshots/dlc/masseffect_01_1280x760.jpg

If this were tried in Osirion with a regular light entity and a similar flare texture, it would be partially visible from behind surfaces, which is not the desired effect as the light shouldn't be making a flare if it's seen from behind a wall. This is also the reason why most of the flares in Osirion are circular, because a horizontal flare(also known as the 'film-style' flare) is too difficult to get right when it can move in all angles.

In the end, this might actually lower performance a tiny bit because each flare has to be checked if it's behind a surface, but if a flare is completely blocked, it shouldn't render at all which would make up for the loss.

Q3 has several methods of doing this, including a timed fade, real fade, and instant.

Timed fade: when a flare becomes visible, begin rendering the quad and slowly increase its size and alpha from 0 until it reaches the size indicated by the entity. The rate of size increase is based on a simple timer.
Real fade: like timed fade, begin rendering the quad once visible but instead of using a fixed timer, only increase the size and alpha depending on how much of the flare is in view. I believe this is done via the size indicated in the entity, and is based on how much of it at its full size is visible(I'm guessing an invisible quad at max size is used to test this). This method is best because it can be tweaked to allow the flare to overlap the surfaces in front of it by a small amount, making it look very realistic.
Instant: the flare is instantly visible at max size and alpha as soon as the light entity's origin is visible by the camera.

Symptom: When rotating the ship, cubemap reflections are not rotated in effect, and stay in the default rotation axis.

5Project::OSiRiONcoreBug ReportLow'give ship x' while moving makes player unable to contr...Assigned
0%
Task Description

At random, if you use 'give ship' while your ship is moving, you can be trapped in a state where you cannot turn or move in any direction. You are still given the new ship, however, and if you use 'give ship' a few more times, you can recover from the problem.

Leaving this as low-priority since 'give ship' is technically a cheat. Setting this as category 'src' because the cause is unknown.

3Project::OSiRiONrenderBug ReportLowMerged patch mesh points produce bad results on IntelNew
0%
Task Description

If multiple patch mesh points are in the same place(like on many windows), certain polygons are lit incorrectly on Intel hardware.
