Er... I did.  I copied the code off of Stealth's site, but you can change it if you want.  Here's where it tells how to set up banners...

New screeny. Flying in formation. Alpha 1 is firing its guns.



EDIT: Damn, JPG compression sucked the life outta them.

Just so you know, those trails are extremely smooth.

You can't really see it, but the machine guns isn't firing in a straight line. They are randomly shot off in a certain radius.

With the $FOV flag?

I'm not sure that's a good idea - I like my guns to fire straight ahead. :nod:

I'd have to try it myself to see.

I made the bullet-based weapons have long ranges (bullets and their tracer trail don't just dissapear) but I didn't want the player to become good enough he could snipe; I'm making a mass driver for that. The $FOF: has a small spread, making the weapons more effective at closer ranges. This also allows you to spray a cruiser will bullet fire, and that generally looks cool.

So, within 700 meters you should notice it, but it won't throw you off a lot.

We need to fix that missile trail bug in the SCP, as the tracers are trails, and they don't always show up...

I'm preparing to upload the whole kit and kaboodle, so you can test it then.

Attachment doesn't work, too big.... I had it as a bitmap so it wouldn't get compressed. I'll put it up later.

:wtf: TVWP screenshots and renders seem to suffer from the fact that you can't bloody tell what they're supposed to be.

Solatar, are you messing with the darkening effects?  I don't think we need to darken anything.  Glowmaps are cool - darkening is not. :)

I'll admit that was an old screenshot. I've toned down the darkening effects, they are barely noticeable.

And GE, if you knew what everything was, it wouldn't be a surprise when you play it.;)

It's one thing to have a menacing silhouette or a mystery ship in the distance, it's another thing to have it RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU and you have to artificially tone down the brightness so you can't tell what it is. You're either showing it off in all its majesty, or you're teasing us. Right now you're trying to do both and it's not working. Take a cue from Black Wolf...



There were lots of questions about what that ship in the background was, replied mostly with :drevil:. That's the way you tantalize people. You can tel it's new and different, and you can make out some detail, but it's still a mystery.

If you want to show a Battle for Mars, you want to show these ships in their full glory, guns blazing, with drama and action. Fuzzing it out doesn't work here. Get closer and show off the models you've all worked on, or make it more subtle.

*phew* That's my second art critique today. :blah:
