the only thing i couldn't do is make multiple shockwaves...
To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

IMHO, any sort of simple shockwave doesn't look realistic (except for maybe when missiles impact, with a circular shockwave)

A shockwave must be composed of fire or some sort of physical object in order to be visible - most likely you'd have gouts of fire, with detonations if fuel/reactors went up. But a sphericcal or circular shockwave wouldn't occur, just massive amounts of flames and debris. (Although I did ask Bobb about implementing a Matrix emp-esque shockwave when a big ship went down - turns out it'd need pixel shaders though.)

redmenace: Have you updated mv_effects? (If you were looking for a goahead, you've got it - the model file will fix the current cruiser03 error)

If Lightspeed's packs contain shine/glow maps for FS1 vessels (I haven't checked) then you could probably shave a few MB off by taking them out. That's really the area of the port. If you don't feel like taking the time to do so, I doubt anyone will complain much. :p

or, you could put them in a separate VP?

Yeah, but again, that's really part of the port.

There could be an mv_fs1.vp, I suppose, but we already have trouble keeping this many VPs up-to-date and working. There's already shinemap and glowmap download links on the port page, after all.

I think there might be a problem with single player effects. The Maxin won't work in missions.

To help get some people started with the FS2 SCP on another forum, I set up a couple of torrents to distribute the necessary files and help save you guys bandwidth.  Anyone else who can use the torrents may as well, too.

The SCP installer, latest build + latest media.vps
Download torrent
(8 files; 125.91 MB)
View torrent stats


The AVI versions of the cutscenes
Download torrent
(10 files; 134.30 MB)
View torrent stats

(These don't actually work with the 3.6.5 build as far as I can tell, but do with the CVS builds.  Place them in the main FS2 directory.)

Haha.  Technically I registered here before you  :p I just don't have anything to contribute usually.

I've been playing space combat cames since Wing Commander... FS2 just seems to have been the best of the lot; the SCP and modding community are keeping it still relevant today.  I didn't even 'discover' Freespace until a few years ago, and even then only picked it up because it had 'Descent' in the title :D

You need a bitTorrent client. Take your pick

Don't know why you need any of these files though Cobra.
