Looks like they changed the Shivan Beamglow again.
Bring back the 3.6.10 beta one (the glowy red/white ball)!

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
I wish we had colored beam impact effects (with colors matching the beams) :(

And decals. And specialized beam decals which would make it look like the beams were continuous even when they weren't!
Add to that normal mapping to the damage decals to actually depress the impact area, and persistent damage explosions that show you fires on the surface of the target ship.
The Trivial Psychic Strikes Again!

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
I hope it's optional, which it probably will be.
[22:29] <sigtau> Hello, #hard-light?  I'm trying to tell a girl she looks really good for someone who doesn't exercise.  How do I word that non-offensively?

<batwota> wouldn’t that mean that it’s prepared to kiss your ass if you flank it :p

The flaming debris?

It's pretty easily disabled, but in God's name why would you ever want to? It's beautiful.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
As opposed to the normal icky over tiled debris texture with no fire effects at all?

I'll take the new ones as soon as I get home/they come out.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Uhm, yeah. Either way the icky overtiled texture is still visible, no matter if the shoddy explosion fire trail is there or not. :p

Seems like the community has a particular liking to explosion effects being used everywhere.  :nervous:

It's the same debris either way, just this way it has fire.

Believe me, when you see what exploding fighters look like, you'll never want it turned off.

I don't know what the **** 'the community' is. Usually terms like that mean 'I have no ****ing idea what I'm talking about'.

The explosions are custom work for BP from Nighteyes. Blame BP, not everyone on Hard Light.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Frankly it sounds more like you'd rather turn off debris than turn off debris trails.

You disagree with everything, therefore your opinion is invalid. :P

Can someone fix the Hattie's specular map? It's eating all the detail on some of the normal maps. :(
