Some effects are missing: Thunders, sun flares, SFX sounds

[Sol1vaN]

Hi again,

I've noticed that are some visual effects and sound effects are missing in your port.
I've recorded 2 videos showing that I say.

• This happen with the old build too (before cvar fix).
• I'm using Windows version

Until now this is that I've founded:

1. No thunders
2. No sun flares
3. No sound FX for thunders

I'm concern if other stuff are missing. But if I found another I'll inform you.

Here's the videos:

Hello.
On points 1 and 3, yes, indeed there is no thunder, lightning and lightning flashes.
Haven't played the original in a while so I didn't pay attention to it. It won't be difficult to fix it.

Point 2 (sun flare) - this is more difficult. This is a lens flare and the vulcan render itself is responsible for their correct display.
The render code was written by Sultim Tsyrendashiev
https://github.com/sultim-t
https://github.com/sultim-t/Serious-Engine-Vk
and he did not complete the lens flare. They have bugs and have therefore been disabled. (Lens flares pass through walls)
I just ported render vulcan from windows to linux. This is what the bugs look like:

If you need a lens flare, then you can change the graphic API to OpenGL in the video menu.
On OpenGL Lens Flare works correctly. When he fixes these bugs, I will definitely add lens flare support to the port.

On points 1 and 3, I think to make a correction in the coming days. Thanks for the report.

On points 1 and 3, Ready d054df5

Now thunder, lightning and lightning flashes is works.
Release for Windows updated:
https://github.com/tx00100xt/SeriousSamClassic-VK/releases/download/v1.10.4/SeriousSamClassicVk-1.10.4-win32-bin.zip
https://github.com/tx00100xt/SeriousSamClassic-VK/releases/download/v1.10.4/SeriousSamClassicVk-1.10.4-win64-bin.zip
For Linux and FreeBSD I will update later.

I think the issue should be left open - until the lens flare is fixed.
