OpenFrag - Some screens and a mapdemo.

Post by IFASS »

Well, i'll make a decent introduction later.. just to show you a new map and a small demo:

http://data.openfrag.org/IFASS/castle10.jpg
http://data.openfrag.org/IFASS/castle11.jpg
http://data.openfrag.org/IFASS/castle12.jpg
http://data.openfrag.org/IFASS/castle13.jpg


And the demo:
Simple demo (28mb)

It's nothing special.. the demo is just my own viewer, not the OpenFrag core.
- Press C to switch camera


OpenFrag will be at the Karelian Xplay 2006 this year, to be sure, check this.
Therefore we're currently working on a trailer (2 actually) and some other stuff, like the demo and these flyers.

Anyway, currently we're busy working on the OpenFrag core. We're aiming to release a decent branch this summer.

It'll contain:
- OpenFrag core (the engine itself)
- BitVapour (Steamalike distribution system)
- Games
--- Pong (name says it)
--- BreakDown (a small game aswell)
--- Broken Alliance (Medieval fps)
--- Probably more

Check our site + wiki to see how you can make your own games for OpenFrag :)

Once done, i'll make a new announcement, in the meantime.. i'll just be posting updates here.

Nice - what did you use to bake the lighting in that level, it's very high quality.

I used the Render To Texture feature from 3ds Max 8 :)
All materials have illiumination set to 100 (don't ask me why, but otherwise all materials were black).

It isn't much work, but gives good results :)

Allthough, it can be optimized A LOT still.. no static geometry etc. is defined yet.

Very nice, the castle10 and castle11 images are impressive

You can set the Lighting to not enabled in your material(s), and the vertex color will be used (no need to set the illumination to 100), just verify that all your vertex colors are white

Depending on the vertex count, that might give a noticiable increase in performance

nice grahpics :-)

just one thing i noticed on my fairly outdated machine:

As soon i see the characters in the view, the FPS drop to 2-3. Elsewhere it is steady around 50-70 FPS.

Keep the good work up :-)

WinRAR only gives me "Unexpected end of archive" and "CRC error" messages when I try to unpack the archive... :?

Still using some of my textures I see =P Though I think you should really get rid of that pink rooftile texture, it was my first attempt at roof tiles and admittedly quite bad ;o

Good to see some visible progress by one of the oldest surviving projects. Is this project atleast 3 years old I guess???

How is progress at OpenFrag these days? The screenshots you post are not really very different from what was already there a year ago. I know there has been a lot of changes since then, but how long until something playable? This is just a viewer, after all. I'd really like to finally be able to run around a bit through that good-looking castle and frag some boxes, or that orc that you've got. :D

That usually means you have to download a newer version of WinRAR. Check www.rarlabs.com for a free download. :)

Vapour... Steam... well mine is called "Water in Gaseous Form." So there!

Anyway... sounds like a good peripheral system to have. Is it implemented as something completely separate from OpenFrag, so non-OpenFrag-based products can use it as well? It'd be great to have an Ogre-oriented free, central distribution system. Is this an indie developers publication silver bullet?
