just makung sure.

you need to use my ships table with my weapon effects, else the ballistics wont work.  

And yes, if you could fix that cutoff bug i would be grateful

I've found a bug.

The lighting in this build seems messed up compared to all build that came after implementing ambient light back in.

I'll post screenies in a second.

Here:



Using EXACTLY the same command line and settings. I think in this build, you broke the "-ambient_factor" command line. Not sure, though.

Anyhow, it's a rather ugly bug.

Still getting the D3D HTL bug... I guess i have to upgrade my rusty but trusty hardware...

[Bobboau]

actualy that is the corect lighting, there was a bug were difuse lighting wasn't getting lit for about a month there, so all you'd see was specular, and the maps for specular tend to be just about the same as defuse exept were specular over powers defuse, so nobody seems to have realy caut it.

[Lightspeed]

thats odd, because I could see unlighted faces just fine (due to ambient light).

I think diffuse isn't really necessary if you use ambient light at all.

[RandomTiger]

Perhaps we can set ambient darker again if this is the case.

[Flipside]

Actually, I think it would be better to keep it as it is, since only the top 10-15 percent on the old ambient lighting effects produced enough light to see the models, I think this would allow a lot more flexibility, I'd have to have a look, but I wonder how this would look at around 50% ambient?

You seem to be forgetting everyone can set ambient to whatever they want.

I'll try playing around with it.

Well, about the fighter beams...just with stock weapons.tbl, I've noticed that sometimes the warmup sound won't be audible, like it's being 'rendered' just out of earshot of the player.  However, the beam-loop and warmdown play properly.  This is most apparent with the stock AAAf/AAAh beams.  Or at least on my system.
