How to get the funny shivan beams ?
on: December 04, 2009, 11:43:57 am
Well that's simple..
I've seen some thread here talking about having "graphical bugs" on shivan beams, their color changing.
Well i actually find that quite cool, and i would like to have them too o_o
Where can i find the buggued effect file :p ?

Btw, it may not be the right forum to post it, but forgive me, i didn't know where to post this :(

You only get those if your graphics card sucks ass in terms of memory usage.

Indeed. If you really want to experience those, you'll need to find a weakass GPU and use it. Or alternatively try to make your own beam effects/find beam effects made by someone else.

I can't really tell what this thread is about, but it certainly isn't about problems with installing/playing FreeSpace games. I'll bet on the modding board.

How bad we talking here? Like, per say...my old GTS 6700? :P

Or maybe my REALLY ancient ATI "All-In-Wonder" Radeon.
Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.

I do recall a thread from last year about changing the beam and glowmap colours on Shivan models. Someone even went as far as to make a modified table or something that would make them shoot rainbow-coloured beams. I think I still have the file somewhere - not certain if it'd work on 3.6.10 though.

I'm fairly certain this is the thread I'm referring to: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=53430.0

Edit: Ah yes, rainbow beams!

I did read only 2 pages of the topic, but the VP Packs are only about one-colored shivans :s
Plus there is nothing mentioned about beams except for the picture.
Did I miss something <_< ?

For now i can't try that Coulour pack, so i'll take a look at it soon
BTW, Thanks you for searching !

The first two pages are only green, you have to look deep to find all the other colors.

Apologies for not providing a specific link about beams. I just latched onto the first pic that I thought might be related to your thread's topic. :o Perhaps blowfish could help you out with altering beam effects in a similar way.
