G3D11 Renderer - Atmospheric Edition

English: First and foremost: I am no expert in C++ programming. DON'T WORRY! The

Renderer works absolutely fine. The point is that I'd love to make even

more changes and additions to the Renderer, bringing back features from

the old Gothic DX7 Renderer but also expanding on features that would

allow mods to determine their distinguished atmosphere with the new

available sky textures, fog values etc.

Sadly, as of now, this is the best I can do. I'll provide the source files in the hopes that maybe someone takes interest in this

forgotten code again and helps realize the Renderer's full potential.

The goal of this version of the Renderer is different than the others. Here's what's changed:

• []Update from my last version (hidden) based on SaiyanKing's version with all its features and bugfixes over kirides'

  []A better system to distinguish between various .zens and worldspaces (sadly no system to actually distinguish between mods, even if it's the

  same worldspace so I had to make a decision for NewWorld and AddonWorld and OldWorld: AddonWorld looks like the usual G2 Renderer experience, NewWorld has more of a G1-styled look but updated and OldWorld has its classic DX7 styled look)[]More Sky Texture variants from G1, G2 and custom ones to use in the future when modders create their own worldspaces etc. (hopefully there

  will be a better system in place for this too)[]a bit better display of the skydome (a bit brighter but I still need to figure out how to improve it to be closer to DX7's display of

  the skybox)[]improved fog colors (no more orange tint in G1, a bit more reddish now etc.)

Future plans:

• []As mentioned, I want to implement a system that allows to check for MODS, not just .zen file names as of now. Alternatively, even better, a

  menu that allows you to determine your preferenced look for the game OR simply displaying whatever sky texture and fog values are determined by the game's / mod's settings and files![]More sky variants appearing throughout the day, allowing for a more natural cycle (without withdrawing from the atmospheric artstyle that is

  meant to be GOTHIC)[]Features from the old DX7 Renderer (trees reacting to wind, sea waves, displaying atmospheric lights, maybe displaying whatever sky

  texture & fog values are determined by the game's / mod's settings and files as it was the case in the original Renderer, etc.)

If you are interested in helping out in the cause, let me know or ... well, simply download the source files and go ahead!Thank you and have fun playing the game.

Known Issues:

• G1 is supposed to have a more updated skytexture, yet displays the original one still
