skydome

Post by optic delusion »

A skydome i dreamed up tonight. It's a geodesic dome that is spheremap textured on the inside. Drawinfo (of course), I applied a slight angvel, looks pretty good.

It will scale nicely to different sized worlds.

If you look in the lod section of the bzw, you will see an empty line. I have deleted one line there. If you re-add this line, it will add a floor to the dome. Just paste this back into the lod:
polygon 151 149 148 147 146 145 144 143 142 141 140 139 138 137 136 135


I have made the dome exactly big enough, that if you take your tank into the corner of a default-sized world, the clipping plane begins to appear in the opposite corner.
Is there a way to adjust sphere and extents to fine-tune the location of an object's clipping plane?

The problem is the clipping plane.. when you go all the way in a corner amd look towards the opposite corner, you can just barely see the clipping plane appear as the edges move by. (in a default-sized world)
I solved that problem by grouping it and applying scale.
Scale 0.99 0.99

What would be ultra cool would be to place some items in front of it, to provide perspective, but that is difficult because it's very close to the edge of the world.

Keep an eye on the directory that the image is in. More good skydomes and skyboxes might appear. I'm also gonna put some new planet textures in there. http://cbg.bzflag.org/images/A-Delusion/skyboxes/

When adding -d to the statup command it works, if i leave out the debbugging option it fails with the exception above.
It seems only to appear when including the skydome.bzw into another map; running the skydome on its own does run well.
I'm sitting on Windows XP SP3.

You'll have to provide a complete test environment for me so I can try to duplicate. I made a map file with just an include to the skydome file and it worked.

Actually im trying to include it into my pandora map which's got a load of meshes and objects and stuff in it; might there be a limit of certain things you can use?

Did a JIT-Debug:
Unhandled exception 0x0048ff85 in bzfs.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00bcc000.
This same thing appears infinite times (appears do be stuck in loop).
Disassembly lines (">" points at the exception line):

Code: Select all

  0048FF83  fstp        dword ptr [ecx] 
> 0048FF85  fld         dword ptr [edx+4] 
  0048FF88  fld         dword ptr [ecx+4] 
Call Stack:

Yeah, that information isn't really useful. You'd have to compile a debug version of BZFlag and get a backtrace.

Improved skydome

Here's an improved version.
Texcoords are 100 percent perfect.
No longer can use the floor polygons.
Notice how large portions of the image are not displayed. Any replacement image must have similar properties.
