Why don't you speak in terms everyone can understand or do I have to go to the slang dictionary website?

Let's just find out, shall we?

Other than changing the Shivan beam chargeup glows so they're not pink SGreen balls, just some more HTL models, everything else is good I think.

[Zacam]

All that matters now is that it works perfectly also thanks to some experimentation on my part.

And a large part on the behalf of Reprobator, who posted the first link to an older ATi driver that began narrowing the issue down and the countless tests from members like Jadehawk and Falcon2105. Tolwyn and Mongoose were aware of the issue well before you ever posted. And only 4 messages from you in the thread that specifically related to the issue, but plenty of posts here that related to nothing at all.

So, what exactly is the point here? Pointing out how aggrieved you are?

There are no new completed HTL models, just a smoothing corrected lucifer that somehow got left out of this release.

HM, it looks like 'Zing' is pretty well understood by the majority of the community here, so you're attack about how it's hard to understand slang seems pretty baseless at this point.

Also, I don't know how...on earth...you got that out of what Zacam said.  His problem is that you seem to be taking all the credit for solving your problem on your own, as if nothing in this thread helped you in reaching your solution, because your statement contains a certain air of...arrogance is the best word I can come up with.  Your interpretation of what Zacam said only seems to back it up as well.

i habe tried with the complete download and with the single mediavps.
The game runs without the mediavps.

Does anybody know a solution for my problem?

Thank you very much !!!

I think it's pretty funny how you just zinged yourself there.

...If you don't like what I say and you don't like me, why bother wasting time quoting me like you want to fuel an argument?...

I'm just doing it for the lulz man.  I have to point out when someone is wrong on the internet.

Plus, it doesn't take the reading of many of your posts to see that you enjoy routinely accusing people of having no life.  In fact, pretty much everything you've been attacking others for is something you've done (except using slang, you've been sticking to your guns on that one).  I'm not saying no one else is doing these things, including myself, I'm just saying we're not being hypocrites about it.

Max, do you have to make this kind of lecture like every 5th post you write?  Seriously, if you don't like it here, then just go. You poison these threads with negativeness and arrogance. The 3.6.10 mediavps are not just good. They are brilliant, awesome considering the team aren't paid for what they're doing but they produce graphics comparable to the latest games around.

To be honest, I think that you wouldn't even be here if the team had nothing to give to you or be useful in any way.

Agreematory.

It would indeed seem like you, High Max, think that playing video games == not having a life. What is wrong with you? Everyone here plays video games. That does not necessarily mean that they do it 24/7. Video games are a hobby. They are played when there is time from work/studies, other hobbies and such. Is that really the same thing as not having a life?

I, for one, really cannot keep a track on your statements. First you barge in here claiming that the new MediaVPs are bad because they have a few bugs. When someone points out that the number of bugs is relatively small compared to previous releases, you start a "I didn't say they're bad. I have a right for an opinion! I have a life, you don't!" rant, which doesn't make much sense. Then, some time later, some GPU-related issue is solved here and you arrive here to thank yourself for it. When someone points out that other people were also helpful, you start a "No, that's not what I meant. I don't want any credit. I have a life, you don't." rant, which again does not make sense.

Partially it would also seem that you think we don't have lives, because we spend time trying to help other members of HLP with any FreeSpace-related problems they might be having. I wouldn't call that "having no life", but rather a byproduct of maintaining a good, functioning community. The spirit here is high and we all behave well. You, on the other hand, seem to want to damage this community spirit every chance you get.

Now. You have the MediaVPs. You have some of your (FreeSpace-related) issues solved. Could you now stop trying to make each and every thread be about you?

[General Battuta]

Hurray! That was a laudable statement.

Let's move on.

Hi,
the 3.6.10.  mediavps are really great and awesome. But i have small bug with the beam of the BFRed. The graphic problem is a litte bit hard to explain, so i make a screenshot:



All other beams work great, it just the big red one, which has additional green lines in it and at least twice the size of the regular beam.
Did someone else has the problem

I'm using:
AMD2+ 3x2300 GHZ
8 GB RAM
ATi X1950 PRo
Vista 64 Bit
fs2_open_3_6_10r-20081217_r5008.exe

Thanx
Nico

[Vasudan Admiral]

Yeah it's been looked into and appears to only affect some ATI cards with certain drivers. Here's the current fix:

POTENTIAL FIX FOR SHIVAN BEAM ISSUES

I would like to request anyone experiencing problems with the Shivan beams to download these 16x512 resolution textures and paste the three files (SBeamAB, SBeamAD and SBeamAE) into ..\FreeSpace2\mediavps\data\effects\. If that folder doesn't exist, create it.

This will be in the upcoming patch, so you'd be best deleting these files again once the patch is out.

[[Wolf]Maverick]

thanx, works great

So I hear MV_Music was not included in the MV_Complete package (front page of thread)? Do I really have to stick it alongside MV_Complete in the same "Games\FreeSpace2\mediavps\" folder to hear music?

[eliex]

I think you can just put it directly in your root directory since its just music.

[Jeff Vader]

I think you can just put it directly in your root directory since its just music.

But it's still a "media improvement" so I'd say \freespace2\mediavps\. Just so that retail stays as retail as it can.

Using an Nvidia Geforce FX 5200.  Could the fact it's a widescreen have something to do with it?
