I had some others priority last months and currently on vacation in Hawaii. The project will continue in middle of september with some others members (if we find a good way to manage the project). @curiosity Nice job, yeah sharing the same material is a great boost performance, merging mesh too, using a texture atlas too. I currently try to use GRFs directly on the browser using the drag and drop API, but my zlib unpacker is a little too slow. Well I think we can talk in pm if you want (but not for now, not inside a computer enought). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question: Do you use bounding boxes to setup the RSM matrix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I re-wrote a good part of the code, to make it better, faster and stronger. I am focus on improving the render for now, working on the tool "Map-Viewer", I don't add the network part to the project yet. I was really jealous of other RO client project renderer (ragnaXNA, Shinryo's Client): smooth, beautiful... So I add a few things to my map-viewer : smooth normal, model opacity, lightmap on walls, tiles color, ... I'm now able to load GRFs from computer (~1sec to load a 1.3 giga GRF), I did some work on the zlib unpacker in javascript. The online version is still available to download a file from a host if you don't set a GRF OR if the file isn't found in GRFs. You can see the map-loader here. [media=] [/media]Note: I use the GRF from an old server, currently close, no pub intented. The video is a little buggy, I will try to do another one later, more smoothy. I currently work on speeding up the loading, it will be in theory 10 times faster after my modification, I will see in the next days. After this, I will only need to work on adding model animation to finish the map-viewer part. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its bcoz you are using localhost, try uploading to a server and try with your net, and tell the results, If that's less, its impressive. bcoz loading an file with localhost test is like only reading file and nothing else.

No. I can show you the same result using my web host. When you drag and drop a GRF, the browser will parse it to get all files under it. There is no network connection even if you are on a host since you are using a local GRF (except if you don't define a GRF, in this case it will use the online GRF host to get files). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not able to add the important speed up update on the loading. It was an idea to use multiple threads to parse the client files (using 4 threads is 4 times faster) but it seems we can't load multiple part of a file at the same time. But I don't care, I did some good optimization (on zlib, and file parsing) and the loading is still faster : 4.5 seconds to load Prontera (you can compare with the video, it's ~4 time faster). I still need to optimize one part of the loading, when a map have a lot of instances of the same models it's really slow : yggdrasil01 take 17 secs to load (wtf ?!). I did some improvements on the TGA Manager due to NPOT textures causing problems. I also add a DB file to add the blue sky (note: I don't plane to add the cloud features in the near future). I have to say also, this project will be (source) released this year, finished or not. I would like to donate you some money for the development of this awesome project. Where can I do it? There is no way to donate ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Offtopic: I also played a little with RO2 VDK file archive. It's one of the easier format I find in my life, ~10 minutes to understand the structure, ~15 minutes to write a loader... Funny to see how this file is build... Note: no I don't plane to do a ro2browser... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone moved it here, I don't know why but yeah it should be better on "project > clientside". You are aiming to unpack RO2 vdk files?

Yeah I already build a loader for it in html5/js, it was funny but I don't think I will use it further for other things ----------------------------------- I add my RSM-Viewer in the project to work more and faster on the RSM file since it need some changes (optimize the compilation, add the animation, change the smooth normal methods, ...), what I love about this tool is the way it can be embedded to webpage : 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here some previews of what I've done for now : There is still some bugs to fix, but it was funny to code. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs on some TGA version, some sprites with empty layer (wth ?), some bugs on the file manager, etc. I added the support to read sprites and palettes, fixed the next/previous buttons and add a thumbnail system. Textures: Palettes: Sprites: Search feature (top right input): I re-worked the UI system of robrowser, it was a little buggy (from the old version). The RSM now support is natural shadding type (without, flat, or smooth) instead of using smooth shadding on all models, result: better render, faster loading. I fixed some bugs on Firefox. And I will now focus on working with sprite rendering on the next days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
