110 | client | Bug Report | Critical | Better camera handling and control | Assigned | |
Task Description
The camera handling is rather confusing. It would be best to retire the third-person "Turret" view and
have a cockpit view and an external, third-person view.
Freelook should still work on both modes, but the camera angle should not be reset when leaving freelook.
TODO
- remove Turret view
- use shift+mousewheel to zoom in/out
- remember freelook angle
- remove 360-degree rotation limitation
- remove control lock (spacebar)
- do not pass ship control events when in a menu

36 | core | Planned Feature | High | Player signals | New | |
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. |

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. |

41 | render | Feature Request | Medium | LOD entity keys + Automatic patch LOD | New | |
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. |

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. |

|
12 | render | Feature Request | Low | Light Flare Occlusion | New | |
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. |
