did someone remember at the planets from freelancer ?,... i work on it to support it in freespace 2

the quality is atm very worse but i work on it

[Lightspeed]

planet models with atmospherical effects?

Do you still need them in ships.tbl or are they defined otherwise?

Can't say how much i'd love this

[Nico]

Well, since you're in the SCP team, you should know better than us if bakground pofs have been implemented or not ( and afaik, they're not ).

[Lightspeed]

Since someone's being slow and I still have no internal access, the means of verifying it are quite limited, you know

Also, who says he handles it as background POFs?
He could just have a dynamic sphere stretched to values you set in the mission file, applying the texture there (it's possible) and then add the halo effect... It'd be like a model you place in your mission, then.

[Nico]

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I meant that if you have to drop it in fred, you are obliged to have a pof entry in the ship tbl.

well atm you need only the texture the code calculate an sphere

hmm maybe will scp internal forum access usefull for me *g*

[Nico]

My bad, I'm 100% wrong

[FreeTerran]

i forgot.... the coulds turn around the planet

[Nico]

Well, I hope you can set that, coz you realize if you can see the clouds moving, they're probably traveling at mach 10 That's some serious winds

[Lightspeed]

try getting a decent halo effect first.

well the clouds turns allright

btw what halo effect ?

@nico: nah they turn realy slow

[Omniscaper]

Is there a tutorial for POF planet making? I'm going nuts getting my planet models to display. I think its a size issue. I need to know more details on how to make background models. Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.

[Nico]

no size issue, that's for sure, but do you have the right SCP build? coz if you have one with the low render range, well, no planet for ya

atmosphere. That Glow around a planet, which points towards the sun.

something like in this picture here:

[FreeTerran]

well if we could get some hi res texture und i change the code that the sphere is in high poly

[Lightspeed]

Then there still isnt any atmosphere, i'm afraid.

-edit: and whee, someone fixed my access

[FreeTerran]

have i say that i make not an atmosphere ?

and scp internal access would be realy usefull

I am so glad we're on vB now... you wouldn't believe how tedious that simple operation would have been for me if we were still running UBB. Oh, you're welcome.

[Lightspeed]

I hate the way vB inserts vB code into your messages. It's impossible to enter formatting after your text is written since it simply refuses to put anything elsewhere than at the end of your post. Especially crappy if you're inserting URLS or the like (gotta type everything yourself.)

So, it might be more practical on the admin side, but for users it's worse than good old UBB.
