Yes, very happy with all the develoment. I have now tweaked all the new fancy stuff near my liking and have a game which allmost look like oldrim, but performs much better.

Boris, I don't remember if you explained why in 1st person ENB lights seem to be clipped when close to the camera. It's like the front clipping plane for particle lights is farther out than the clipping plane for visible particles? Here's a test setup to show what I mean. Is that something that can be changed?

Guess i didnt explain this, but it's same problem as with ssao or dof. First person models drawed in different space, it's scaled, so depth data of first person models do not fit scene, in game world such objects much bigger than they looks like. So if they are bigger, they cross sprites quick.

OK thanks, not a problem for me as I don't play in 1st person, but people are asking on my mod page so I wanted some better explanation other than "it doesn't work".

I have another question though, related to my "knowledgebase" thread and generally figuring out how particle lights work: the way you differentiate between "particle lights" and "fire lights" is that you designate as "fire" particles those which have subtextures (the fire animations), and "normal" particles are those without subtextures. The part that I want to ask about is why grayscale textures are OK for "fire" particles but "normal" particles with grayscale textures do not emit light? I imagine you're using fundamentally the same methods to render both types of lights or am I wrong?

Now I'm NOT asking if this can be changed cause I think changing it would create a very big mess. I'm just looking for the technical reasons behind it. Well now that I think about it I guess the technical reason is precisely because it would create a big mess. I think you saw that particles without greyscale textures are typically used for "glow" effects, the type of effect you'd want to emit light, so you decided to limit light emission to only such particles - otherwise basically ALL particles would emit light which is not what we want.

So again what we have now works perfectly fine for me, I'm only asking questions cause I want to understand the thinking behind your design decisions.
