UberWazuSoldier 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Hello everyone! As I'm sure a few of you will have done, I've been pondering over those blend modes that pop up mostly in airplane HUDs. You might have noticed by now that the format for these is; hudBuilder.addNodeBlendEffect <a number> <another number> After a bit of time messing around, I came to the conclusion that these are directly forwarded to Direct3D - So it's possible to know what the numbers mean after all! - Unfortunately most of the blend modes that work with a lot of other DirectX things don't seem to work so great in BF2, probably partly as a result of the alpha channels on various things. The way I stumbled across this was some rem'd code for the commander map in BF2. The comment attached was that it was for inverting the map (which was drawn onto that node). I then compared it with the aircraft's additive blending (7 2), and thought about how similar it was to the format of blend modes for DirectX. So, the numbers do what's described at the bottom: It's actually really hard to predict exactly how it will blend the colours together, even though it looks so straightforward. Most things that manipulate the destination don't seem to work with BF2, I think the HUD may be drawn somewhere in the middle - Which could be the cause. Vehicles, for example, often show up significantly brighter than anything else with these. The numbers 0, 1, 2 and 9 are all identical when used as the second number. Feel free to try them out and report anything interesting. - I'm omitting 1, 2 and 9 as the second number because it's all logical if you read my comment above. - Also note that making this list was VERY tedious, so the comments are not as useful as they perhaps could be. Again, sorry if none of that made sense, but this should at least inspire some creative use of this function! 0 0 - Addative (Ignoring Alpha). 3 0 - Addative (Including Alpha). 4 0 - Adds inverted source colour. 5 0 - Colours get further from black.. 6 0 - Draws normally. 7 0 - Roughly the same as 4 0 but weaker colours. 8 0 - Adds inverted colour AND inverted alpha. 9 0 - The same as 0 0, except semitransparent things are black and it's on steroids. 10 0 - Like normal, but transparent things (like grass) are the colour you select. 0 3 - Multiply effect? Darker at least. Also, darks are lighter. *shrugs* 3 3 - Like 0 3, but stronger colours. 4 3 - Like 0 3, but darker. 5 3 - Proper multiply effect. - Good for sunglasses. 6 3 - Ignores the destination, and draws it as if on a black background. 7 3 - Roughly the same as 0 3 8 3 - Like 5 3, but more washed out colours. 9 3 - Like a darker version of 9 0. 10 3 - Multiplies, AND does the 10 0 thing. 0 4 - Appears to change the hue and saturation to an inverted version of the colour you chose. 3 4 - Darker version of 0 4. 4 4 - Draws an inverted version of your colour, but with NORMAL transparency. 5 4 - Adds an inverted version of your colour. 6 4 - Inverts the destination (behind your HUD) and then adds an inverted version of your colour. 7 4 - Draws with inverted alpha your inverted colour. 8 4 - Seems to multiply by inverted source colour, but alpha'd too. 9 4 - Like 9 0 10 4 - PROPERLY multiplies by inverted source colour, but transparents are the source colour. Vehicles count as transparents, as the err, "shininess map" is usually in the alpha channel. Guns do it too. 0 5 - ANOTHER addative thing. 3 5 - Mamma mia! Another addative! 4 5 - Destination contrast seems to be increased, and it's coloured like an inverted source. 5 5 - Pure white! 6 5 - Inverts dark destinations, so it COULD be a visual aid of some sort. 7 5 - Another addative. 8 5 - Higher contrast and more vibrant destination colours. 9 5 - Another addative. 10 5 - REALLY high contrast for destination, and transparencies are, you guessed it, source-coloured. 0 6 - Inverts light colours and then adds the source to it. 3 6 - Same as 0 6, but the adding of source is more... Alpha'd. 4 6 - Like 0 6, but it adds the INVERTED source. 5 6 - Source becomes the brightest possible colour, darker colours aren't affected it seems. 6 6 - Destination is inverted, and then multiplied by source. 7 6 - Light destination colours are inverted, dark are not. Visual aid, maybe? 8 6 - Same as 7 6, but darker. 9 6 - Same as 7 6, but it adds the source afterwards. 10 6 - Like 10 5, but less coloured. 0 7 - ANOTHER addative. 3 7 - Really faint, but definitely another addatie. 4 7 - Adds inverted source. 5 7 - Hmm, adds on light colours, subtracts on dark colours - So it's a contrast filter. 6 7 - Draws a washed-out, alpha'd, inverted source. 7 7 - Another addative. 8 7 - Inverted-alpha drawing of the source. 9 7 - ANOTHER addative, but transparents are inverted source. 10 7 - Multiplies, and transparents are source. 0 8 - Draws normally. 3 8 - Same as 0 8, but darker. 4 8 - Same as 0 8, but source is inverted. 5 8 - Increases contrast, and then multiplies by the source colour. 6 8 - Like 6 6, but darker. 7 8 - Draws source with neutral luminosity, and alpha'd. 8 8 - Multiplies by a washed-out inverted source. 9 8 - Like 9 7 etc. 10 8 - Slightly coloured like inverted source, transparents are, you guessed it, source-coloured. 0 10 - Everything is darkened-source coloured, except transparents, which look normal. Particles are inverse-source coloured. 3 10 - Same, but darker. - These are just WEIRD. 4 10 - Inverse-source coloured, except transparents. 5 10 - Further from white, except transparents. 6 10 - Everything except transparents is inverted. 7 10 - Like 0 10. 8 10 - Everything is black except transparents. 9 10 - Like 0 10 again. 10 10 - Pure black. Well, go and knock yourselves out! I don't know how useful these are, the ones starting with 9 and 10 aren't great with text because the alpha messes them up. Anyway, have fun, just thought it would be good to share these findings. Edited February 22, 2009 by UberWazuSoldier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UberWazuSoldier 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2009 Not to sound ungrateful, but most of the views of this topic have been from me checking up on it; and considering the time it took to find this stuff out, I'd prefer it didn't fade out of existence. I'm assuming that bumping topics is against the rules, but you can probably see where I'm coming from. Hand-making one hundred nodes to test these out was a little less than inspiring, and it's the result of 2 days (more if you consider the failed tests I did a couple of weeks ago) of absolutely mind-numbingly boring work with a computer slower than a mentally handicapped snail. Sorry if this is somehow intruding on the general order of the forums, but I don't want this to slip by silently. - Would it be more suited elsewhere on the forums?

UberWazuSoldier 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys! These are pretty useful for eyecandy especially, the ones that invert what's behind the hud are quite interesting. That's an example of it. If you guys need any screenshots of the ones above, I can make them without much trouble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freeze 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 I've never messed with these settings before but I'm off on my way now to test them out. They look pretty interesting to mess with, didn't know you could do things like that with the HUD. Thanks for the list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfi 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 WHOA brilliant find there! Maybe finally a way to simulate FLIR (by applying a tv post process comp and inverting everything so it looks nothing like the bf2 tv shader). I'd love to try it but how exactly do you invert everything except for the HUD, just like you showed in your screenshot? I mean what do I change in order to get everything inverted?

UberWazuSoldier 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Well, set it up like a normal weapon/vehicle hud, and then put in; hudBuilder.createSplitNode IngameHud InvertEffect hudBuilder.setNodeLogicShowVariable EQUAL GuiIndex <set to whatever your gun is> hudBuilder.addNodeBlendEffect 6 4 hudBuilder.createPictureNode InvertEffect Inverter 0 0 800 600 hudBuilder.setNodeColor 0 1 0 1 Note that the colour you choose becomes the "dark" colour, and it's opposite becomes the "light" colour. Making it "1 1 1 1" would be completely inverted. Hopefully I haven't missed anything with that. - In that screenshot I had it in the HudElementsPlayer.con, and the reason the other parts weren't inverted was that they were drawn by BF2 after the invert effect was applied. Putting it in weapons or vehicles *might* not invert the HUD, but no guarantee. I'll give it a shot. Edited March 27, 2009 by UberWazuSoldier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfi 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 Many thanks. Unfortunately the thing I want to do (make the image black/white with tv shader, then invert so its white/black) but I'll keep playing with those things. Something different! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UberWazuSoldier 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 Well, if you put that on with the colour "1 1 1 1" it should be just inverted. - Hopefully that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfi 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) What exactly do you mean when you say "Everything below BlendEffect 6 4 is changed"? It still doesn't work (still inverts everything while it only should invert the post process shader layer), the only thing it did was stopping the weapon selection icons from being inverted, which is a good start. May I take a look at your con file so I can see what I've been doing wrong? Edited May 6, 2009 by wolfi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex6714 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) This is how I did it for the Ah-1z for example. The hud will render things in order of first(bottom) to last(top). So by placing it first in the list, it renders before the frame and such. If it were placed last, it would ivert everything cos they are already rendered when it comes to rendering the inversion. Also, add it to the ah1z hud not the in game one, because the in game one renders first. Then the vehicles, then the ah1z I think for example. hudBuilder.createSplitNode VehicleHuds Ah1zCoPilotHud hudBuilder.setNodeLogicShowVariable EQUAL GuiIndex 503 hudBuilder.setNodeLogicShowVariable
