right now it works with some shivan ships, some SOC fighters, some EA capitals, and the cyone.  make sure you use GE's glowmaps for the vasudan ships

What are the table limits for this version? (ships, hud, weapons, sound)

Title: grab your pills and prepare for another coronary
Post by: phreak on July 31, 2003, 04:29:32 pm

250 ship types  -- bumped from 130
400 ship objects
200 weapon types
80 shield icons
200 sounds
1Mb table size

i only had to change the number of ship types because it would otherwise break multiplayer

Wow... could you do a FRED2 version with the same increased limits? I still need to wait for a decent launcher but this looks great. :)

EDIT: Never mind, I downloaded it and saw everything was included. Thanks.

Sid.

OpenGL mode works on mine but the textures look like they're rendered in software mode (it's very noticeable on the Perseus ADv's cockpit section) and after a while the message animations just disappear and I get a small black box instead. Illustrations:

That Sol Gate looks ten times better glow mapped. Niceness. :yes:

Post by: Rictor on August 01, 2003, 06:50:57 am

PLease don't hurt me, but I really can't see the difference between glow-mapped and non-glow-mapped ships.

The Sol Gate looks really nice though, good stuff

BTW, what is that like a Persues MK2? I really like the design. You guys are doing some kickass work here:yes: :yes:

First has no glowmaps, 2nd one does.



It's the Perseus ADv, kind of a retrofit of the Perseus.

updated the pack. the alves is freaking sweet

My only complaint is that they really don't GLOW in-game, a la' Bridge Commander. The SCP should put that in.

Title: grab your pills and prepare for another coronary
Post by: phreak on August 01, 2003, 08:52:18 pm

that would require pixel shaders, which is hella work and unsupported on older cards. not to mention i haven't even tried to use them.:doubt:

edit: do you mean cast light on other objects, or something else? i've never played BC and i don't know what you are talking about

Don't know yet, I'm just playing with things right now.

It'll probably depend on how the final cloaking works, I used the cheats to enable it for those shots.

Yeah, we'd need cloak/decloak sexps and a cloaking toggle key for the player's ship. I don't think the AI can be 'upgraded' to take tactical advantage of cloaking in the foreseeable future, but sexp-driven cloaking could be made use of. ;)
