Hi,

interesting ideas. But imagine the mouse is on the left edge of screen and you want to make quick move towards left - no chance to read the speed here. Maybe there is some Win32 stuff to get delta of mouse not depending on its position, I will investigate a bit.

Regarding flashlight - I was thinking of hybrid blended approach, when you get full light bitmap, and then read per pixel values from depth buffer to decrease brightness of texels with increasing distance. But I am not sure how to do it fast for the moment


Thanks,
Petr

P.S. New card for HL2 ? I have old Radeon 9600 and I think I get most of the effects, maybe except full HDR.
