Revision as of 18:45, 19 March 2024
Features I'd like to see in custom compilers for 
, 
, and 
BSP/CSG
- Everything from
Mapbase's VBSP - func_group
- Ability to set func_group and func_detail as nonsolid (ex: for foliage).
- Ability to override the contents of func_group and func_detail (ex: for grates).
VIS
- Rename
vvis_dll.dllto allow installation alongside vanilla compilers.
RAD
- Rename
vrad_dll.dllto allow installation alongside vanilla compilers. - 64-bit executable
- bounced prop_static lighting (bouncing both ways between props and lightmaps); this would be really beneficial on lightmapped props
- Ability to select texture format for PPL files:
- Recommended formats to allow:
- RGB888 (default), RGBA16161616F, DXT1, I8, BGR565, BGRA8888 (RGBM-compressed HDR), DXT5 (RGBM-compressed HDR)
- BC6H (default), BC7, RGBX8888, RGBA8888 (RGBM-compressed HDR), RGBA16161616F, DXT1, ATI1N, I8
- This could possibly be noted by using lightmap resolutions higher than 4096 (reading the three most significant bits as a separate value, with 0 being the default RBG888).
- Alternatively, unused static prop flags could be used, but VBSP would need to be modified to properly write them.
- Recommended formats to allow:
- bounced named lights (could also have radius-based control over how far they are allowed to bounce)
- toggleable shadows for brush entities, handled in a similar manner VHLT's light_shadow (so they'd be controlled by a regular light entity in-game)
- toggleable texlights, handled in a similar manner VHLT's light_surface (so they'd be controlled by a regular light entity in-game)
- %lightmapmask for VertexlitGeneric, which dictates locations of the PPL lightmap to mask out and replace with a dialation fill like xwad does for index 255 of transparent textures.
- An equivalent to ericw-tools's -dirtdebug command, which disables standard lighting and only puts generic ambient occlusion on edges to prevent the unsealed fullbright map from looking bad.
