Engines should be guardianed-threshold to avoid that. How old is bp2-core? There was an issue beforehand with the medical ship's default top speed being lower than the rest of the convoy's.

[Crybertrance]

So I replayed the first mission of WiH and something was off. The Leeuwenhoek was seven minutes off from the convoy when I was in the middle of the mission. Was that intentional and my memory was off, or is this a bug? I had to Shift > to make the time go by when I killed all the Tevs.

I used to get that in the old version of WiH. Don't get it now though...

[SypheDMar]

Oh gosh. You're all right. I thought I made sure that I was up-to-date...

[Crybertrance]

Oh gosh. You're all right. I thought I made sure that I was up-to-date...

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there?

[Klaustrophobia]

so i started a replay of WIH with the update, excited to see the shiny new models i keep hearing about.  except, i can't see the shiny new models.  or much of anything at all except for thrusters and the torpedo explosions that white-out the screen. 

does WIH override lighting settings?  and if so, how do i make it not? 

[Fury]

Post debug log.

[Klaustrophobia]

sorry, i didn't really make it clear what i meant.  i'm sure nothing is WRONG, i just don't like how dark everything is (and the blinding flashes and sunglares, but last time i asked about that i got no response).  WiH has always been kinda dark looking, but unless i'm misremembering, it seems darker after the update.  i can only make out the textures when that side of a ship is facing a pretty strong light source.  everything else is just shadowy, and frankly bland.  AoA certainly wasn't this dark (if anything too bright with all the nebulas). 

if it's nothing that can be changed, then oh well i guess. 

[MatthTheGeek]

Why don't you just change your lighting settings, really.

[Klaustrophobia]

my lighting settings are set how i like them, at least for everything else.  i asked if WIH overrides these somehow.  i thought it might because i know how fond the dev team and seemingly most of the players are of dark settings. 

[Commander Zane]

Aren't the missions built with low ambience?

[Darius]

Mods can't change your custom lighting settings, and please don't make assumptions about what team members' lighting setting preferences are. I personally don't use ultra dark settings.

What the mod does do is add post-processing effects (higher contrast and noise filter) so disable post-processing in the launcher if it's not to your taste.

[MatthTheGeek]

The missions of WiH are set with realistic lighting settings in regard with the distance to the Sun and position of nearby planets if applicable. Most of the time, when you're not near a planet, that means the mission is quite dark indeed, because that's how it's supposed to be.

[General Battuta]

Turning on emissive lighting in the launcher should brighten things up if you want more glow.

[Fury]

And again, posting a debug log would allow people to check whether there is something wrong or not. Merely thinking one way or another does not make it so.

The Narayana is already halfway there to being a gun with engines attached on the back ;p

I tried out the Vadrj.. Vad... Fleet Bomber a few days ago and it's almost as gun-with-a-plane-attached as an A-10. Wartime Special Projects indeed.

[CT27]

Just some speculation: 

How long after WIH do you think the conclusion (BP3) will take place?

I would assume that since the BP website says WIH took place during the 'final weeks' of the Sol-GTVA war...that it wouldn't be too long afterwards.

[-Norbert-]

That really depends on how WiH2 will end.
It might be another year and a half, like between AoA and WiH, or the Shivans might decide to ruin the victory party/presentation of the peace treaty to the public/whatever the BP team will come up with.
The one thing I'm pretty confident about is, that the Shivans and Vishnans will make an appearance in BP3.

[CT27]

If BP3 takes place almost 2 years after BP2 and the war is still going on (and not insurrection/guerilla affairs...i.e., the UEF hasn't surrendered/signed an armistice yet), then they may have to take down or modify that line about WIH being in the 'final weeks' of the war on the BP website.  It's not a big deal, just that that detail would no longer be correct.

How so? Remember that BP3 is not the next release, WiH was split into two.  The next release is part 2 of WiH.

BP1: Aquarius (Released)
BP2: War In Heaven (Part 1 of 2 has been released)
BP3: ???? (Not released and not yet being "worked" on).

[CT27]

The way I viewed it:

Blue Planet part 3=War In Heaven Part 2


Though I suppose we're kind of dealing with semantics here.


Anyways, if the next part takes place a year or so after WIH, then I imagine something important would have taken place in the meantime (maybe Mars gets captured).
