flathack 9f3ddfa78e Update x64 client for nebula occlusion and sun burn-through fixes
Ship REM-Client 0f4e83cce7dca8dab59931cfb2830d5fa30b0a96 (Release|x64).
Includes upstream 4ac727e0 and its AtmosphereSaturation default of 0.5.

Fix remote nebula overlays inside native fog and preserve authored solar
burn-through with finite-depth foreground extinction and opaque occlusion.
Refresh the compiled client DLLs and record the exact source/build hashes.

Validation: complete x64 build, 32 repeated GPU regression cases across all
four quality levels, image assertions, and 11,141 matching runtime/data files
between REM-Mod and the installed Lutris game. Saves and settings unchanged.

NekuraMew 41a661d031 New REM client: REM-Client 4ac727e0, 64-bit (AtmosphereSaturation 0.5: no hard yellow-green line at the rim of earth-like planets) 2026-11-08 12:07:20 +01:00
flathack 447a82f05e Update x64 client for nebula quality, performance and sculpted shapes
Deploy REM-Client 8cbe4a7030259bb0ef71cc2089e1aa01325c7dd0 (Release|x64).
Includes four live detail profiles, continuous distant visibility, carved
bays and bent arms, shape-aware exclusions and conservative rendering
optimizations for weaker GPUs. Gameplay zone geometry remains unchanged.

Update the complete compiled client and record its committed source and
renderer hash in BUILD_INFO.txt. The same runtime is installed in Lutris;
all 11,141 audited runtime/data files match and saves were preserved.

Validated CPU/shader checks, 55 GPU regression cases and client startup.

NekuraMew 4c3b8166ae New REM client: REM-Client dc29f79, 64-bit (planet atmospheres: a thin, mostly blue haze over the surface, the coloured glow at the rim) 2026-11-08 04:53:26 +01:00
NekuraMew aa9f3b8e66 New REM client: REM-Client 75e5e3a, 64-bit (BC7 ships drawn opaque; planet atmospheres no longer veil the disc - Br03 planets back to their colours) 2026-11-08 04:36:30 +01:00

flathack 5498cb44a0 Optimize volumetric nebula rendering
Build the 64-bit client from merged REM-Client 5ff7cb636d815f6e55771b7efdad34d4832570bc,
including the nebula optimization in 157b06aa2f0b7be6ebc4ed2bd207ddfc6a706a55.

Smoothly merge self-shadow probes according to the integration footprint,
prepare pair metadata once on the CPU, and keep a direct path for nearby probes.
Retain cloud density, resolution and the first lighting/flicker fixes.

Synthetic RTX 2050 / 1080p cloud-pass measurements: distant 9.11 -> 8.19 ms
(-10.1%), rim 55.69 -> 52.82 ms (-5.2%), inside essentially unchanged.
Single synthetic runs; whole-game multiplayer FPS is not established.

Rebuild with MSVC Release|x64 under Wine and refresh the distributed runtime.
Keep the existing new-rem-client missions, ART assets and material data.
Verify 11,141 runtime/data files against the Lutris installation; saves unchanged.

flathack 16746d519e Fix nebula lighting and distant flicker
Update the renderer from REM-Client b0d47563bfbc08a36e1e74c7a876a0d02270fea9.

Filter the 3D noise volume and puff details to reduce distant aliasing. Adapt
temporal accumulation to per-pixel parallax, constrain self-shadowing to the
nebula hull and exclusion zones, respect PlanetShadows, and remove the abrupt
six-to-three shadow-probe switch. Performance changes follow separately.

Keep the existing new-rem-client runtime, ART assets and missions. Update only
the renderer and its build information.
