[Feature Request] Glow bars...

[make-42]

Basically like the shadow effect but with colors and gradients...

[nikp123]

managed to get the depth texture to work as well :)

[nikp123]

x3 faster frag shader implementation via depth buffer

[nikp123]

funky vertex shaders hehe

[nikp123]

oi @xE0F9, I've made it work on all three OS-es

[nikp123]

Now to just add desktop OpenGL back into X11, since I know that EGL doesn't work on all platforms unfortunately (which includes NVIDIA's proprietary driver :cry: )

Anyway, it doesn't matter since EGL and OpenGL now use the same code :partying_face:

[nikp123]

opengl-vbo is no more, I like this approach way more

[nikp123]

@xE0F9 try now, it should work ;) (the mode is x11-gl)

[make-42]

I'm back from vacation and ready to test!

[make-42]

[nikp123]

x11_gl

ps why cant i get even my explanations right

[make-42]

Reason: /usr/local/lib/xava/out_x11_gl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[make-42]

I'm running on the unstable branch, is that right?

[make-42]

[make-42]

Other than that, x11_stars works well!

[nikp123]

make install it

[make-42]

same issue

[make-42]

out_x11-gl.so is not generated on build though

[nikp123]

Try the new update, it should be more verbose.

Also while testing like this, PLEASE use the DEBUG build. Release builds are ONLY meant for situations where the binary is actually is installed in the system (aka. /usr/bin/xava)

[nikp123]

also on second thought, don't.... i need to make the config system less of a absolute mess that ONLY compiles on Arch it seems

[nikp123]

Try now. All the bugs I've encountered were iniparser related...UGH

[make-42]

Compiling!

[make-42]

And out_x11_gl.so is still not generated:

[nikp123]

please check if its a dependency issue

run cmake again to figure that out

[make-42]

cmake runs with no errors

[nikp123]

cmake runs with no errors

still, show logs. i have no idea why it doesnt build

[nikp123]

besides i hopefully fixed that linking issue with the modules functions

[nikp123]

also " GLEW library not found" MAKES IT NOT BUILD

• just a slight FYI

[nikp123]

try again... i hope something changes

[make-42]

[make-42]

well that explains it

[make-42]

Rebuilt and it's fixed

[make-42]

[make-42]

How do I enable the radial shader?

[nikp123]

throw in the shader file in the config directory

~/.config/xava/gl/shaders

Tho I'd much rather have shader packs... So that's next on the list to implement

[nikp123]

It should be pretty simple to add any shader packs. Contributions are welcome.

Your call @xE0F9, you are better at shaders than me lol

[make-42]

Started development this morning on some of the shaders, is there any way you could share what code you use to map the xava render to polar coordinates?

[make-42]

I'm getting there... I think.

[make-42]

I couldn't do it

[make-42]

I need your help lol

[make-42]

Is there any way to have some sort of anti aliasing ?

[make-42]

Like MSAA

[make-42]

Also, finally!!!!

[make-42]

Also a time variable would be nice for more advanced shaders

[make-42]

Also a version of the xava transform that doesn't make it bars but instead a smooth continuous line

[make-42]

Otherwise, performance is great on the RTX 3090.

[nikp123]

Is there any way to have some sort of anti aliasing ?

i could, i mean, nothings stopping me

[nikp123]

oh, naive, nik, have you thought about for a second about dumb differing standards and methods of achieving MSAA and how it (sometimes) is entirely broken on some systems.

[nikp123]

you can have fun with time now
