MSAA and Alphablending

As we know all know, FlyFF is a very ugly game graphics wise, the textures are really nice(even though they're low res) but the renderer really ruins the whole experience.
Jagged edges is a big part of this problem and when I was bored one day, I thought I would try to fix some of the issues.

Here's standard FlyFF without my graphic changes:

And here it is with my graphic changes:

Zoom both images to 100% and tab between them to see the difference.

If you look at the railing in front of the character you'll see the alpha blending in action and if you look at the model edges you'll see the MSAA in action.

As you can see, the edges on both the alpha masks and the model edges are a lot smoother in the latter image.
There are still a minor issue where the alpha blending clips the rest of the texture, but it's not noticable in the supplied images and I will fix this issue once I feel like it.

Sorry but I don't see the difference between the 2 images.
And what is this thread for? (I know it's about graphics but I don't see what's wrong with it)

Wow, open both images and zoom them 100%.
Then cycle between them.
If you look on the edges of models, there's a big difference.

Very nice, huge difference I can see. Good job :D

Really Really Nice ...

Would kill for this nice graphics :)

Interesting...

Btw, you must be stupid if you dont notice the change.

I think, I am :)

Or blind.

Did the Alpha blending thing take long to put into the source or was it just a matter of turning something from false to true?

It was not just false to true, it was more like tweaking alpha threshold and adding the directive itself.

i see it but don't really get it. i don't look that close to the game...

I have a pretty neat image of differences between vanilla Flyff engine and all settings a GPU can handle + distance blur and motion blur:

Look at the fence, it's very noticeable.
