I have yet to find any real use for it that isn't "I want to hit the front beam cannons of that capital ship that is moving forward"

If you use reverse aftterburn real quick you can break out of dogfight 'chase loops' with the and end up being the one with your guns to the enemy. It can be a huge advantage if used right. I can see how this would be abused if BP ever went multi.

*shudders at the tought of playing against QD in BP multi*


Either your speaker system, or a dislike for the genre.
Drop the elitism, please.


Listen to the cymbals and drums around 0:59 and a fair bit afterwards. Its maybe just all the combat noise driving the whole thing into clipping that overall part, not 100% sure.

anyhow, the part between 1:00 and 1:16, listen to the guitar and the drums. Something sounds so wrong at that part...



[edit] also, by listening to other youtube stuff, it doesnt seem like its my sound system. (nothing stellar at the moment, integrated realtek and sony headphones, but it didnt distort stuff in that particular way ever.)


[edit#2] nope, no way is it my sound system in any way. tell me, how did you add the particular song in and in which format was it originally?


[edit#3] yeah its in the original song, and there's not much that can be done about it. the author while doing it in Fruity Loops didnt pay too much attention to the drums when mixing it together and they tend to overpower the guitar sound strongly at that point. (link for those interested)

[edit#] as a side note, i greatly prefer this version of the song. If yer gonna do a metal-ish cover, then do it right :p



i think that thats it from the edits from me :p

Ho, ho, ho, to the bottle I go
to heal my heart and drown my woe!
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
and many miles be still to go,
but under a tall tree I will lie!

So... why exactly are we getting into an audiophile discussion? I thought we were on the topic of pretty lights.

Speaking of which, (while these are not from BP): behold the application of the filters to King's Gambit. You say that the beams are too big? I can't hear you over HOW AWESOME THESE LOOK. (actually, I should totally take some time out to see if the smaller beams actually look any good)

Looks good! Too many colours for my personal preference (that's just a matter of taste) but it really works and improves over the original lighting.

Oh. WHat is firing that?  :D I mean mjolnirs are not visible at all. And you need... um... 5 pulses to take down a Deimos? Width of the beam suggests me that it is more powerful. It looks cool, but to me it feels a little wrong.
Oh guys, use that [ url ][ img ][ /img ][ /url ] :/

While I found your desaturated (reminds me of a film effect where you wash everything in a silver salt--I think) settings stylistically beautiful, they're a pain in the ass to play with. Readability of everything goes waaay down when colors aren't apparent.

My monitor is probably too bright on the settings. It doubles as television and has 'dynamic brightness' whatever that is. :) Stuff prints darker from my printer too than how it appears on the monitor. Going to fiddle a bit with the files at some point to make a somewhat brighter version.

edit: seems to have a 'MagicBright' feature enabled, going to see if I can turn it off.

I just noticed that I completely forgot to give credits to where credits are due in the first post. :( Now I am ashamed of myself. Added credits to first post now.

Thank KeldorKatarn, The E and Zacam for these new shaders which will find their way to mediavps eventually. And thank taylor for rewriting post processing code.
Sorry about that.

<The following post is useless>

Hey! I tried all this stuff with very strong sets. It's nice. (What else can I say anyway??! Everyone else already said about how cool it is!)

Though, somethings annoys me, idk what might be the cause, but it feels real strange...
The Uriel's cockpit. Whereas it was usually shows up quite clearly, you can only barely see it with the post processing stuff.... unless facing the sun. I don't think it has anything to do w/ launcher sets though... tried a couple and it remained same.

BTW, i tried with the lighting sets recommended on the first post and the whole lighting deal somehow feels odd to me.... as if you couldn't see stuff at all in certain places, whereas you see em really clearly in others (eg the cormorant in the opening cutscene, i never ever knew what it was like before applying those).

Other than that, all i can say is that it's so much shiny it's not even fair anymore !
This might be some weird impression but i seriously feel like the flak is way more dangerous than before. You see it coming much more clearly o_o
 
.......... now i know i kept talking about "weird" and "strange" stuff but i really can't express it any other way. I know that's weird.

New Uriel cockpit lacks glowmaps, so maybe that's the case.
I'm someday going to make a cockpit pack which uses old models and cockpits with glow maps, or a "Show ship" flag and edited glowmaps.
The second solution would require SCP to fix the cockpit glass transparency problem though.

The glass transparency isn't all that bad for me, but I really hate the Erinies cockpit!  That's feakin' bar just gets in the way all the time!  Still, that's for a different topic, not this.

Don't use visible cockpit. Problem solved.

Well, I like to have them to enhance the feel of the game, but we digress.  We can talk about it in a different topic.

it enhances nothing, and gets in the way of the gameplay FSO was designed for.

Matter of opinion. I love seeing the inside of the ship I'm piloting, I get Imp's HUD mod for X3: Terran Conflict so I can see the insides of the cockpit, it doesn't get in the way for me in any way. I actually don't like having just a blank view with the HUD indicators, I hate that.

To each their own. I just find that without TrackIR or something similar, the cockpit takes up too much screenspace and affects your combat abilities. Especially in such ships like the Loki or Erinyes.
