i was just noticing that.

the direction on the pulse on that arm switches direction.

Also the Mjolnir looks like it needs its MOI recalculated.  It seems just a little too easy to knock around.

I've got one question. How did you do those white missile glows in assest.vp?

[Wanderer]

The missileglow things are standard simple glowpoint attached to the missile models. Concept is based on missiles made for SoL. The fadeout at close range was done by fooling with individual mipmaps.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Yeah, lots of bugs in these Media VPs: Asteriods cause massive slow downs (I know that is an issue with Media VPs and not my hardware)

Squished

Ravana and Aten models have primaries and beams going through them without causing damage and almost impossible to disarm the Ravana (not good collision detection)

Thoroughly squished and then squished some more

the firing effects of beams between the beam and the warship guns (orbs) don't usually appear on Shivan warships

I think this is squished. If not it will be before release.

I shoot at a terran cargo contain (the one that is rectangular) and it spins around

Not quite sure if this one is squishable by non-coders. I don't think it's a MOI problem because I've noticed it on ships that have never previously had MOI faults. We're keeping an eye on it, but datawise the 3.6.10 VPs will be fine so that once any potential code bug in that regard is fixed, there shouldn't be a problem.

My Cargo03 doesn't spin around thanks to PCS 2.0.1.

Stay's that way regardless of EXE used. I think it could be considered squished.

*** Petition ***

Regardless of what mission files get used, in TSM-104, could we Pretty Please replace the "GTC Leviathan 7" with "GTC Zollner"?

All the others get to go up against the Sathanas, Zollner doesn't show up until the last mission.

Thanks for telling that. Is anybody able to do some glowpoints like those for Earth Defense missile models later?

[Wanderer]

Any one remotely capable of POFfing can do it. Well as long as he uses PCS or PCS2.

We would just probably be fine just using the one out of the mediavps (with credits of course).  The work in the POF is pretty easy.  I can do it when the time comes.

[Zacam]

Is there any possible way it can be done so that if 3D Radar is enabled, you can get rid of the old 2d in it's background?

I did a blank series of DDS files for an eff, but then I had no 3D radar at all.

Maybe enable the "popup" feature (or is that a code change?) to display it without a backdrop.

I just spent ten minutes following an asteroid around in The Place of Chariots.
A. Goddamn. Asteroid.
It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

I would have boned that goddamn asteroid if I could've gotten out of my cockpit.

You fellas have outdone yourselves. Seriously. FS2 looks better than basic Half-Life 2 does, at this point. FS2 looks better than freakin' World in Conflict, Company of Heroes, fer frick's sake, if you keep this up, you're gonna put Chrysis to shame.

This project - Freespace Open - is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. It is an inspiration to me as a modder and a writer to see something of this scale thriving and expanding and getting consistently better, even today. I feel honored and priveleged to play this game.

That said, I'm having a few issues, which I've detailed in a topic in this forum titled 'Problems with Beta MediaVPs' or some-such. Any assistance would be appreciated!

P.S.: Muzzleflashes and redone thrusters and excellent beam FX = teh secks. Thank you again.

Is there an alternate site? I need those MVPs, the place where DaBrain uploaded them doesn't seem to like me.

As I said before, I can't use rapidshare.

hi,
you said the places where dabrain upload it, cant you use, but i had upload the files to rapidshare .
then are the links are really hidden in the thread.
so was my guess, that you didnt see / use them .

i do have a private webspace, i will post a link to a file.
if you can download the file, send me a anwser and i will upload the files to my space and send you via private messages the links.
click me 
if you didnt download it, do you have another place?

Before the final release could the Leviathan be given the Fenris's normal map by default?

[Mobius]

Why would they?!?

EDIT: The site DaBrain used doesn't really like me...I managed to get mv_core and mv_music, the others seem impossible to DL for me.

I can't use rapidshare as my connection isn't compatible with it(I know it since the beginning, almost 2 years ago). I would like the MVPs to be ULed on FreeSpaceMods.

[Mars]

Because it doesn't use any normal map right now and the Fenris and Leviathan are similar enough for it to work.

[Mobius]

Wait, I assume they kept the old Leviathan design...

EDIT: I got them...one question: why do you use the old Ursa texture?!?

[blowfish]

OK I have a couple more complaints

The Ares cockpit isn't really shiny at all, and it should be (it is glass after all).

Also the beamglow on the AdvEffects SGreen is too solid and/or too wide.  It was fine with the older beamglows, because they are not quite so solid, but with the new one, its a big solid(ish) circle that seems to engulf a large part of the ship it is firing from.
