My thoughts on this issue is that we must have at least 16 bit texture support. Its only limited at the moment (in the DX8 branch) because of a bug.

As far as fred goes if we get freespace2 all in DX8 Im more than willing to have a go at getting fred working in hardware. Of course running in software should always be an option.

RandomTiger, that's nice.

I think you should add a new menu bar in fred2, called "options" or something like that where you can configure new features and such.

NOTE : this is rather old fashioned in today's gaming terms. Back when FS2 came out, being an all hardware, non-paletted texture across-the-board game was a pretty big deal.


Really?  I mean, not to contradict the Big Guy, but every PCX I open in the VPs are in 256 colour.  Does this mean that, if one were to put a 16-bit texture in, it would work?

I think he means when its in-game.

And I meant that 32bit color mode slows the game down way too much for me.  Especially my mouse....laggy when in 32bit color mode.  So I play in 16bit color mode :)

The PCX's themselves are 8 bit, but they're converted to 16 bit internally when loaded. Ergo, if you had a 16 bit targa you could drop it in, assuming you had tga loading code. But the bottom line is - the color depth of the texure files themselves is basically independant of the format once they get into the code.

The PXO internet code was removed before the source was released, but has anyone tried direct IP multi-player over the net? PXO wasn't the only way to play online, just the best. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I saw weird dream last night...
Me playing FS2 with DX8 upgrade!

You can imagine my feeling when I woke up. :lol:

Detailed info about the dream (if anyone has even slightest interest ;))
Playing TBP:
I was waiting next to a jumpgate, a transport jumped in. Jump animation was a bit strange looking but friggin' cool anyway, tranparency and all that stuff. :)

Then transport's textures begun morphing! :wtf:
Now the transport's textures are animated like blue B5 jump point. :eek2: Really nice looking but extremely weird...

A wing of Zephyrs comes to escort the transports. At this time I notice that I am more like "observer", I can't do anything except move.

Then I notice backgrounds, helluva lot of colours! Almost whole space is full of objects and colours, gives a feeling like you're in 60's version of scifi simulator. :lol:

OK, that's it. :D

Strange... this is my third dream this month of FS2 or TBP...
Wondering what the hell that means...

Atomica dream lookup:

dream, mental activity associated with the rapid-eye-movement (REM) period of sleep. It is commonly made up of a number of visual images, scenes or thoughts expressed in terms of seeing rather than in those of the other senses or in words. Electroencephalograph studies, measuring the electrical activity of the brain during REM sleep, have shown that young adults dream for 11/2 to 2 hours of every 8-hour period of sleep. Infants spend an average of 50% of their sleep in the REM phase (they are believed to dream more often than adults) a figure which decreases steadily with age. During dreams, blood pressure and heart rate increase, and breathing is quickened, but the body is otherwise immobile. Studies have shown that sleepers deprived of dream-sleep are likely to become irritable and lose coordination skills. Unusually frightening dreams are called nightmares, and daydreams are constructed fantasies that occur while the individual is awake. Studies have demonstrated the existence of lucid dreaming, where the individual is aware that he is dreaming and has a degree of control over his dream.

Sigmund Freud, in his pioneering work The Interpretation of Dreams (1900, tr. 1913), was one of the first to emphasize dreams as keys to the unconscious. He distinguished the manifest content of dreams—the dream as it is recalled by the individual, from the latent content—the meaning of the dream, which Freud saw in terms of wish fulfillment. C. G. Jung held that dreams function to reveal the unconscious mind, anticipate future events, and give expression to neglected areas of the dreamer's personality. Another theory suggests that dreams are a result of electrical energy that stimulates memories located in various regions of the brain, resulting in dreams.
