Post by: Inquisitor on April 29, 2004, 10:18:09 pm: THe SCP team will release an "official" build by May 9th.

Just in time for me to go to E3 and brag about you guys :)

There. I stepped in it. I made it public.

Just remember, there no such thing as bad publicity.
Title: come hell or high water
Post by: Rictor on April 30, 2004, 01:48:47 am: Hooray! I figure that enough of the bugs will be squashed to make it playable for most people. Then, time to get on to the cool stuff, like new features, graphical improvements and so forth.
Title: come hell or high water
Post by: Setekh on April 30, 2004, 03:47:02 am: :eek:

I do hope the bug squashing keeps progressing, and pending the situation with the FS licence, we can make this into something big and public. :)
Title: come hell or high water
Post by: J3Vr6 on April 30, 2004, 08:22:57 am: Holy POOP!!!! You guys are taking this sucka to E3?!

I just wet myself.

I think you probably just kick started all the coders and testers into overdrive to squash those bugs!!!

Oh, and I'd love to see what other developers and programmers think of the SCP and all thats been done to the game since it originally came out.

Post by: Unknown Target on April 30, 2004, 10:58:08 am: If you're gonna show it off at E3, make sure to take along as many high-poly ships as possible. Mebbe you could convince Venom to lend you his Ezchiel, too :)
Title: come hell or high water
Post by: IceFire on April 30, 2004, 11:06:59 am: ...and Inquisitor takes a step closer to the edge....

:D

I love when these things get made public and you debate if you should or shouldn't and you weigh the advantages and the disadvantages. Oh I know! :D

Good luck and I look forward to it!
Title: come hell or high water

Actually I'm not as crazy as I may seem. I wanted to learn how to use LithUnwrap and I needed a model that would be easy to map to learn on :D

Title: come hell or high water
Post by: Inquisitor on April 30, 2004, 06:01:19 pm: Well, I am going on business (see sig). I figured a SCP build could tag along ;)
Title: come hell or high water
Post by: Flaser on April 30, 2004, 09:17:28 pm: I was wondering if you could already present some of the post 3.6 features - with screenshots saying: IN PROGRESS, or even run a build using something as breathtaking as the environment build.

BTW this should defenitly use the new game material we have: LS weapon effects, LS background, LS Suns - Bobbau/LS/Turambar thrusters, ect. ect.

If Omniscaper has the rights or can get them you could show off the very high-poly/extreme-texture Star Trek models.

Suma, summarium: This is wonderfull news, and THANK YOU for taking FS_Open to the Public.

Title: come hell or high water
Post by: Liberator on May 01, 2004, 02:01:20 pm: How about one of the master FREDers cook up a demo mission where capships carve each other up and stuff that shows off lots of the new eye-candy if nothing else.
Title: come hell or high water
Post by: Rictor on May 01, 2004, 02:05:41 pm: Inquisitor, be SURE to show off the new Echeziel and KARMA's Fenris. Make people think all our ships are like that :drevil: :drevil:

Oh, and Lightspeed new Nebuas and planets, the new thrusters, and shinemapping.

Might as well put our best side forward...

Not sure my laptop can do the SCP proper justice, so, might have to rely on screenies :)

Anywho, like i said, I have nothing formal scheduled for the SCP, but i will definitely be dropping hints and poking at various people to have a look ;)
Title: come hell or high water
Post by: RandomTiger on May 02, 2004, 07:58:55 am: If you are serious about E3 make sure you get a build with Bob's env mapping to take over.

Post by: kasperl on May 10, 2004, 10:27:35 am: yeah, EST is GMT-6 or something, but US central, well, dunno. That, and what is easier, looking up what the difference between GMT and some other timezone is, and then doing the math, or simply saying GMT.

Sounds like someone's still annoyed that Washington didn't get the meridian :D

Go with GMT if you need to pick a standard time. It's the only one that makes sense especially considering that most people not in America figure out EST by simply subtracting 5 from GMT anyway.

I don't get this one either. Don't suppose you are using an ATI card by any chance? PhReAk seems to be getting something similar to this as well.

Do me a favor and run in a different color depth (in the game). If you are running in 16bit now try 32bit, 32bit->16bit. Also, what color depth is your desktop? I don't expect it to work any different but it would help to rule some things out.
Title: come hell or high water
Post by: marajin on May 10, 2004, 05:55:26 pm: Desktop + Game in 32bit = White Squares
Desktop 32bit, Game 16bit = White Squares
Desktop 16Bit, Game 16bit = .. guess?
Desktop 16bit, Game 32bit = Fourth time in a row...

That is pretty much what the nebula's look like for me with the latest public build. I usually can barely see my HUD. I am running it under DirectX.

Post by: phreak on May 12, 2004, 09:55:53 am: the poof has a 256x256 tex and its taking up the entire screen, not to mention the lighting is making it worse

still, it should be blurry as hell then but not pixelated. At least it would be like that in D3D.

You just answered yourself. :nod: Whereas D3D is prone to blurring textures of insufficient resolution, OGL occasionally pixelates them instead. I forget which instances trigger one or the other.

Post by: Taristin on May 13, 2004, 09:38:43 am: I have this annoying problem in OGL where planets, explosions, and trails all have the black edges around them. :blah:

I'll post screenies when I get home. But they usually show as a triangle of the lower left half, and do it for everything from explosions to little particles. This is in all 3 of Bob's newest environment builds tho, so that may be the problem? GF2 MX here.

Post by: Trivial Psychic on May 16, 2004, 03:08:30 am: OK, I was somewhat away for about 2 weeks (PC was in a coma for 6 days, left 4 days later to visit Mom, came back 5 days later) so I'm kinda outa touch atm, but what happenned to 3.6? With E3 passed AFAIK, there is obviously less incentive to get it out for a specific deadline, but with Bob making strides in decals & env mapping on his own personal builds, its obvious that the code freeze has begun to thaw a little on the surface. Has the answer to the question "when is 3.6 coming out" returned to the old standbys of "soon" or "when its ready", or has a new projected completion time been established... like, by the end of the month (Freespace Standard Time)?

Sorry for the spanish inquisition & all. I would have sprung for the bright lights & polygraph machines but like y'all, I'm on a budget.

Later!

Post by: Bobboau on May 16, 2004, 03:22:54 am: there is a build made, were currently packageing stuff up mostly, trying to figure wich files need to go with it, configureing the installer, ect...
any of the builds around the begining of may is basicly what 3.6 is going to look like. there were a few OGL bugs that held things up for a day or two.
