so this week i've been working on lightmaps, and I thought that they would be easy to implement since I just had to take the bytes from the BSP and use them in a texture but ohohoho no it was not

so the first thing that went wrong was me parsing the lightmap UVs the wrong way, thankfully a really good programmer who's experienced with BSP files helped me out with that. i also removed all lighting from the scene shader leaving only the fog

but i was having an awful time figuring out why lightmaps weren't loading, they only loaded if i binded the texture AFTER creating it instead of before, but that would only cause the last texture to be loaded to show up and also messed up Dear ImGui

near the end of this week i was so sure that I had almost finished loading the lightmaps, but no matter what I did it didn't seem to change anything about the texture

but then i accurately converted the lightmap uvs and it turns out I was accidentally using the Dear ImGui font atlas as a texture

i still have no idea why this happened

but multiple hours of staring at my screen later I finally finished it and i was SO HAPPY

that's basically all i did this week, probably gonna turn these weekly devlogs into a regular thing unless i forget about it like every other thing i say i'm gonna do

since i'm new here i might as well show what i'm working on

i'm currently working on a java first person shooter using LWJGL based on various other retro shooters

it's still really early in development and I may not even finish it but I think it's pretty cool
