Re: Cutscene Upgrade [RELEASE: Intro (FS1)]
Camera shake for that puny beam makes no sense. Neither the visuals or the sound suggest that something so intense just happened that might have shaken an object nearby. Essentially, if the on-screen action looks or sounds like it might have shaken a cup on a table, then it might warrant camera shake. In this case, it very much does not meet that criteria so I removed the camera shake.

Lol

Amazingly, this setting only took a couple days of work. Should have this scene rendering in a week or so... And the only post production work is to add in the screen content. Well... That and the excessive lens flares. :)

At some point you should render a frame of this with all of the pilots sitting down watching the Star Wars title crawl on the screen.

No, they need to get rick rolled.

Or just render it once with a blue screen and corner anchors so people can save MJN time and do it themselves.

Re: Cutscene Upgrade [RELEASE: Intro (FS1)]
It's not a video. It's just a render I found in the wayback machine on the volition or freespace site that had a whole bunch of "hi-res" (for the time) renders of various scenes.

Hold your horses, Pilot. We've got a command briefing to attend, first.

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

"I am one of the best FREDders on Earth" -General Battuta

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

Re: Cutscene Upgrade [RELEASE: Intro (FS1)]
I'm glad this game is still being worked on. Is anyone game enough to remake the FS2 Intro? I imagine that would be a pretty big task to make it look like more than gameplay.
I think I may need to get into some campaigns again ;-)

Edit: I have a suggestion - when some characters are on screen, they appear to stare straight a lot. It could make them seem more alive if their eyes are looking around a bit more. If it's not too much work of course. What's been done already is great.
