A low priority hiccup with Beta and HDR

[Ron]

Glad everything is back, I was suffering from withdrawel - I did catch up on some modeling though

Not a big deal, but when running the game from the editor, HDR is not working. It works good when I am editing the world and also works on the exported game.

You have to enable HDR in your main.gsl script.  I forget the exact code now and I'm at work, but I will post it when I get home in a few hours.

Thanks, with you're the tip, I was able to find it (google's cache of the old BV forum)

PS - the old forum has a goldmine of information, hope it comes back soon. Maybe it can be locked to new posts, but still available as a knowledge base for searching?

Cool.  Glad you were able to figure it out.

For anyone else wondering, add the following to your main.gsl...

Code:

GameManager@ game = GetGameManager();

game.SetVideoDriverVariableInt( "HDR",  1);

I don't know why but things like this annoys me. That stuff that is on in scene viewer is turned off when running and only way is to script it on I can understand why because when we export game the actual option of HDR and shadows pop up. But anyways That script can also come in handy when you want to turn HDR off, maybe when being indoor or such

Code:

GameManager@ game = GetGameManager();

game.SetVideoDriverVariableInt( "HDR",  1);

This function should be in the User Guide?s Script Reference.
It is not.

this is actually a bug - it should be enabled in-game if you have it enabled in the editor.  for exported games this is configured via the config.cfg file that is in your project directory prior to export (which is used as the default settings when launching your game).

re: the scripting reference - there is a lot of stuff that isn't up to date in the documentation, both from the scripting & properties reference.  we're adding things as quick as we can, but particularly during the beta, documentation for everything is going to be a bit of a work in progress.

[gekido]

add to scripting documentation as well
