Saw that happen with the NVIDIA CUDA compiler too.

its only a problem for modders, making bigger maps than vanilla game

i thought computers were better at math than ive come to realize they are

funny thing is as far as games go, for a proper scoreplayers game, a bullet's loss of precision after travelling thousands of mapunits *could* be pretty important. Any sort of variance that couldnt be predicted or explained by the player's action is problematic. But I am much more obsessed with this idea than most

I don't think loss in precision is big enough to cause that kind of problem.

But it causes things like characters falling through a triangle mesh that wasn't fully connected because the tiny error creates cracks where collision tests fail.

Reminder that it's 2018 and we still have AAA games where objects fall through the floor or pass through walls because of bad math.

Ha, I'd love to know more about what causes issues like that. Because in Doom editing you would never have that happen unless it was very clearly your fault as the mapper

And yet in Doom 2016 we still have floordeaths

I remember a game developer giving his account on a Playstation 1 game; how they couldn't figure out why the character was falling through the triangle mesh in the floor. So they just changed it so all triangles are scaled up before calculating, so they all overlap.

how about the PS1's (unintentional)polygon warping? is that affected by low precision?

You mean the textures?

maybe its just texture warping, but it appears as if the shapes themselves are bent and jagged

I think the PS1 only had fixed point math for vertex transforms.

And the textures was because the GPU didn't have hyperbolic interpolation (or "perspective-correct texture mapping".)

Because it requires doing one division per each pixel.

But hey, it's a charming characteristic, just like the sprite flickering on the NES.

spriteflicker is just the programmer crying out in poverty

I wish somebody would make a AAA game today with a PS1 filter.

Does it have to be AAA?

Jus tlike Capcom made the new Megaman with a spriteflicker option.

Theres some new 90s style fps coming out with many lo-res gfx settings

Yes, AAA, those super realistic graphics that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make.

Just for the lulz.

I just tank the resolution for that

Far Cry 5 with PS1 graphics glitches.

I *know* someone's written a ps1-style warped textures shader for glsl or whatever

I'm into it, as long as there's options for more modern clarity. but if your marketing angle is retro graphics in 3D, youre wasting millions in art budget for 4k textures

so you'd have to draw the line somewhere for all sorts of different things. You want AAA modeling with 64x64px textures and 256 indexed colors?

Would you rather have something that worked in ENBoost so you could run it over any AAA game?

Or do you want the designers to adhere to the aesthetic as sort of a religion

Personally I'm into sprites in 3D, pushing hundreds+ of sprites at once, and mixed low and medium res textures, with lots and lots of flashy effects, and I don't need any sort of realistic physics or complex hitboxes. Modeling is too expensive

there's also an added difficulty that comes with playing at the lowes res with the fx maxed out, for sure scoreplayers are gonna turn all that s††† off

I like Doom2016's Chromatic Aberration but they need an option to turn it way up

Some (newer retro indie) 2D games have an option for EGA palette, or NES GameBoy etc palette, imagine someone going far as to make a 3d game with a graphics mode to mimic ps1, n64, and saturn respectively? what a mess

and then the purists come in with their hardware tests to shame if you get forget to add some weird erroneous behavior

Assembly: the circlejerk

you couldnt even form a semicircle with the number of people here interested in assembly

what's your aversion? It's not a growing problem f†††ing up your life or your loved ones, so its definitely not cancer

someone's butthurt

only cause i have an intestinal condition
