Overlay Help

[Smurftyours]

I need this

Code: Select all

Refract
{

   $normalmap "smurft/goggleglass"
   $dudvmap "smurft/goggleglass"
   $refracttint "[1 1 1]"
   $refractamount .05

}

And this

Code: Select all

Unlitgeneric
{
   $basetexture "smurft/goggles"
   $translucent 1
}


Both to be on the players screen at the same time. I am open to any workaround including some sort of vmt reconfiguration. Thanks for any help.

$refracttinttexture?

It does behave a little strangely, but I think you should be able to tweak it in.

Smurf, you idiot, you go to sleep only minutes before I found a solution. Be it a shit one.

Hard to tell in the picture, but I am drawing both a UnlitGeneric and a refraction material("tp_refract" and "combine_binocoverlay"). The "tp_refract" overlay is produced by the env_screenoverlay thingie.

Added this at the beginning of the function CViewRender::PerformScreenOverlay:

Code: Select all

IMaterial *blah = materials->FindMaterial( "effects/combine_binocoverlay", TEXTURE_GROUP_OTHER ); //Gary- Find the material we want and give it a name
      DrawScreenEffectMaterial( blah, x, y, w, h ); //Draw dis bitch

Ah yeah I realised how far off I potentially was just now. Was going to suggest parenting a prop to the viewport but garys solution is far more elegant.

[Gary]

You can't parent shit to the head unless you are working with view models, as anything else will get clipped out of existence.

Yeah, he wasn't very descriptive here, I talked to him in the chat before he went to sleep. He wanted a texture of the goggles to show, as well as refraction on the lens part.

Like this but with refraction on the transparent/lens part:

In case you want to be able to set it via ConVar and turn it off/on.

Code: Select all

ConVar r_otheroverlay( "gary_r_otheroverlay","", FCVAR_CHEAT, "Path to overlay, remember to set gary_r_otheroverlay to 1 for this to show" ); //Gary
ConVar r_drawotheroverlay( "gary_r_drawotheroverlay","0", FCVAR_CHEAT, "Draws gary_r_otheroverlay, so we can have two" ); //gary


Code: Select all

   if ( r_drawotheroverlay.GetBool() ) //cause I don't want dis all the time....
   {
IMaterial *blah = materials->FindMaterial( r_otheroverlay.GetString(), TEXTURE_GROUP_OTHER ); //Gary- Find the material we want and give it a name
      DrawScreenEffectMaterial( blah, x, y, w, h ); //Draw dis bitch
   }
