I'll be looking for more projects to work on once I finish my GMDX fork. So maybe I could pop in, see how it's going, and contribute some code.
We need a good playable version of SS1 that isn't scuffed to all hell.

« on: 05. February 2025, 01:55:14 »In other news, I've added some more options to improve the overall look to be more in line with my desired vision. Using compute shaders and voxelization to bounce light around more realistically using cone tracing. I'm making use of something called SEGI. It's a bit ancient these days but it works and when used subtly it can be quite effective. I modified the compute shaders to better handle the gamma color space since it was written originally for linear which imho is way too washed out and not in keeping with the art style I'm going for. Anyways, it's looking fairly decent I think. You'll notice the settings option "VXGI Lighting" for turning it on and off. Feel like it's finally to a point where it looks "correct" at max settings.
I don't recall if last builds had it, but the options has separate tabs now and the graphics tab shows you your current view so you can see immediately the effect your settings changes will have.
I keep telling myself I should share screenshots of my failed performance experiments in a write up. Not sure if that would be interesting or not?
I've rewritten the Citadel renderer multiple times over the past few months and ended up back basically near where it started, scrapping all my own which all had lackluster or similar performance to Unity's but complexity drawbacks or severe limitations such as needing large amounts of ram.
I think I may have invented a new type of rendering technique using many subrasters, fun side quest but wasn't feasible for my hardware. It also might just be a technique that is now useless being at the end of the era of "offline" or "interactive" renderers and taking some 300ms per frame or needing 17gb of ram to put it into ~30ms which is still pretty bad (should be noted my gpu is an old GTX970 with one fan not working so maybe on newer gpus my light inhalation renderer would actually work well on).
Maybe at some point my custom whitted raytracing renderer with zero noise will sneak in as an alternative renderer option. But I don't have the hardware to actually make it viable as an alternative, for me to play it at least, heh. And I'm at a point where the impetus to try anything, anything at all to improve it, is now gone because I'm really quite happy with the performance level I've reached so any further side quests are a way later thing in the rendering and visuals department.

Finally seeing the light at the end of the performance tunnel though quite a few systems have been broken along the way so I'm no turning my attention towards those. I'm getting basically double fps of what I had about a year ago so this journey has definitely been worth it I'd say. I've probably spent as much time optimizing this as making it, heh. Anyways there's a jank test build if you want to toy with the performance as it stands currently (need free github account to see the download): https://github.com/JosiahJack/Citadel/actions/runs/13147840269
Again, this is in a broken state. The gloves came off. Stuff got messy. But I'm hoping to rapidly get it back to and better than the more working state it was in about 6mo ago (fixed a number of bugs completely unrelated to my rearchitecture upheavals).

So, I posted this ages ago, except I wasn't signed in. I had, at that point in time, read approximately 5 pages of this thread - the first four, and this one. I spent 4 hours over the past day and a half reading this entire thread. I now see that the issue had been raised several times throughout the project's development, but that the goal was always to keep it in real 3D. Disregard it, please.
Also, in my time reading this thread, I have found something astonishing. A few months ago, I beat the NDS remake, which was my first full playthrough of any version of the game. I loved it a lot, but didn't really have a great point of comparison, as I'd played up to Research in pretty much every other official version of the game before I lost all motivation. This is still the case. Anyway, time for my astonishing thing:
In eight and a half years of development, a team of about 40 people with over a million dollars in financial backing restarted their commercial remake project three separate times (switching engines at one point), scrapped countless features that would have added to the immersiveness/been more faithful to the original, and ran out of money before striking a deal with a proper publishing company to keep them going - and failed miserably at updating people who gave them the million dollars they needed in order to start in the first place, releasing an update about every two years AT BEST. The final product, despite being something I found a lot of fun and really enjoyed, is still incredibly unpolished, with glitches such as entity models loading in without any AI on a level where that entity shouldn't even exist (screenshot by me). Over the past decade, one man on these forums has recreated essentially the entire freakin' game almost from scratch, without the source code for a good chunk (and by the time he had the source code, he had done such awesome work that basically the only thing he gained development-wise was an arbitrary and completely optional feature - literally a random game-within-a-game - that NDS scrapped in their remake), and surviving major setbacks such as an engine switch of his own (which only happened because of an issue with the engine he had been using that completely halted development), a rapidly evolving personal life, a time-consuming job involving countless international trips, and the entire world shutting down for a year. Oh, and did I mention he's still going strong?
I have a personal project of my own I'm trying to see through to completion, but after that, I plan to spend an indeterminate amount of time (probably about two or so months) beating Citadel and trying to see everything it has to offer, after which I'm going to share my full thoughts on the state of the game and how it can improve.
Best of luck on finishing the project!

When I turn on the full map, the side buttons disappear?
Do most of the things get "sent" to the left side, ala Audio logs?
How can I make System status permanent on the left side in the 4th button?
Are shadows supposed to tank performance so much, RTX 2060?

Ability to load custom music is finally in. Just need to do the tedious part and link the override system to each dynamic music snippet. I also plan to have two types of overrides, snippets and looped where the dynamic music system does not do anything if looped is picked and instead it just continuously loops a provided mp3 override that way any custom mix ever made could be dropped in and used as is. Or any mp3 music really. Or .wav. Haven't added support for midi + soundfont yet though but that's planned for later.

Patches can be cycled and and apply the highlighted one as well from a hotkey. And ammo change and reload have hotkeys as well. Reload has both a quick load option for modern reload or with it disabled pressing reload once unloads, then again loads.

For example, ability to throw grenade with a dedicated button, and ability to cycle grenades with another hotkey to choose which one to quick throw. Also, does it have a reload/change ammo type hotkeys?

The force bridges appear as a narrow single red line. The mutants I killed in the rad trench stay standing even when dead. Not sure if this happens anywhere else. It did not happen with mutants near the med bay and the cyberspace terminal and did not happen with cyborgs or assassins.

Adding music and sound from the classic version of the game works this time. I don't think it did in the previous build.

« on: 05. July 2023, 00:28:03 »The whole "remake vs remaster" debate in gaming is largely pointless anyway.
I've seen remasters that basically redo the graphics engine of a game (and all the assets) completely. I've seen others that do virtually nothing.
I've seen remasters that change a lot more than remakes do.
Not to mention you've got ultimate editions, sequels, definitive editions, goty and collectors editions, regional releases, and sometimes even patches that can completely change a game almost entirely. Warframe is so different from release (even in terms of graphics) that it's essentially been remade multiple times already, despite never getting a remake or a remastered version. World of Warcraft changes significantly with each expansion, both in terms of gameplay and graphics. Do you have to update graphics to be a remake or does gameplay count? If a company calls a product a remake but it still technically uses the same engine is it one? What about engines that have multiple iterations? Is half life source a remaster of half-life despite the only change being the engine? Does Dark Souls Remaster even count as a remaster if it's just the original game with a community patch added? Nobody knows because nobody has defined any of this stuff. We just call a game a remake or a remaster based on what feels right.
Is Citadel technically a remake or a remaster? The only intelligent answer is "who cares?". It's both and it's neither because the terms are meaningless.
Now can we put this stupid debate to bed?

Saving and loading can cause weapon names in inventory to disappear. Similarly, under some circumstances - I believe it was also saving and loading, but need to investigate - ware can disappear from the menu. It'll still be recorded as installed, though, because picking up another copy of the same or lower version will give the 'ware is obsolete' message.
Overall, though: I am *stunned* at the fidelity and the sheer effort here. These UI issues didn't distract me from enjoying an incredible experience.

« on: 10. June 2023, 05:55:59 »Full disclosure, I'm heading straight into this with no prior Citadel experience, so some of these may be known or intended. Haven't really ordered them either.
Selecting No Shoot Mode in options menu, returning to game, and reopening options menu shows Quick Reload Weapon selected instead and changes game behavior accordingly.
Pipe reach seems short - cameras often can't be hit without jumping. Hitboxes on enemies and weapon range seem comparable to vanilla.
Inventory functionality breaks if mouse buttons are switched - RMB does not select items, looting corpses doesn't work properly in some cases (noticed with corpses in doorways).
Program becomes very unhappy about alt-tab and alt-enter usage, often just crashing.
Mouse sensitivity decreases significantly on alt-tab and return.
Non-fatal null reference errors during save loading, I assume these are known.
Magpulse shows two ammo types in inventory display.
Most interactions behave differently from original, working with single clicks only, compared to double clicks in vanilla.
Healing suite door doesn't auto-close
Map vision in saves lost on game exit. Persists properly on a 'live' reload.
First exit to menu doesn't bring up save prompt, proceeds directly to save screen.
Other oddities with save screen - seems to be inconsistency with when and how slot names are saved, I need to investigate further.
Destroyed hoppers (potentially other enemies) that slide off elevated surfaces just continue sliding without collision.
Switch for Gamma sliding wall doesn't work. Actually, most switches don't work.
Weapon switching can produce glitchy behavior. I'll try and record, but the particular issue I'm noticing is that scrolling from the second-to-last weapon to the last will produce a state where the last weapon is highlighted but the second-to-last remains equipped and nothing shows in the Weapon MFD. Specifically I had the Skorpion in slot 5 and picked up a pistol into slot 6.
Interacting with corpses, etc in mouselook mode switches into free mouse mode; breaks muscle memory from SSP/EE.
Loot appears to be generated on death instead of on interaction with corpses - not abnormal, but distinct from vanilla behavior.
Discussed in thread, but automatic weapons lack certain gunplay elements; no recoil or lack of control.
Selecting No Shoot Mode in options menu, returning to game, and reopening options menu shows Quick Reload Weapon selected instead and changes game behavior accordingly.
Pipe reach seems short - cameras often can't be hit without jumping. Hitboxes on enemies and weapon range seem comparable to vanilla.
Inventory functionality breaks if mouse buttons are switched - RMB does not select items, looting corpses doesn't work properly in some cases (noticed with corpses in doorways).
Program becomes very unhappy about alt-tab and alt-enter usage, often just crashing.
Mouse sensitivity decreases significantly on alt-tab and return.

I just have so much going on and have not been online a whole lot or even looking at games.

I'm pretty sure it was doing a simple sphere collision. Most noticeable when you get just barely past the edge of a ledge and can see starting to slide down from the player's ball shape. The bottom sphere was pretty rigid though. The top one slid around, jostling atop the bottom one with a spring to recenter it after a bit.
