Return of Reckoning

Okey, please feel free to ignore or delete this if its completely the wrong place to bring this up but -

I was looking into messing around with WAR's textures myself, but I'm a bit lost were to start exactly. ó ò

You know, where do I find them, how do I extract them or convert them into format to work with. And if its possible to re-oackage and load them.

Maybe one of you guys got a link to a write up, some tips or something. I've worked on some stuff in the past, but this is new ground for me.

Thank you.

Devs can neither confirm nor deny normal mapping for War engine ? It looks this way.

You shouldn't mess with them. It could lead to the dark side :]

Well if someone managed to dump the shaders I might be able to work something out.

Spoiler:

We don't have any specifications and info yet. I guess devs don't want to share it.
All I found is 1 simple tangent normal map in textures so far, idk if its even work.
Bump- and cubemapping would be more than enough. Main point is to enable them for characters.

Managed to extract the shaders of the game. They have alot unused code for bump, specular and parallax mapping in it.

**Cool pictures.

yeah sildur is like the internet celebrity when it comes to shaders
the biggest german youtuber uses his shaders,too ^^
Sildur maybe i can tell you more in the future, right now we dont have the tools to implement such features.

Yeah, I enabled it code wise for testing, but it won't do much without the heightmap and normal map textures.
Also that code is so inefficient, so many if and else statements, code all over the place #include functions everywhere, it hurts.

Yes, the WAR code is a real mess. It was IIRC a big part of the reason for slow updates to the game since most of the folks who wrote this messy spaghetti code were long gone from the company by release.

Well, unfortunately WAR was one of those game that was 'in development hell'.

IIRC they started from scratch twice or thrice.
