See how much prettier she is with stencil shadows!!! Bobboau, I hope you haven't given up on stencil shadows. The Galactica benches that old build to its limits. Check out the FPS with the BSG's numerous subobjects.

Post by: Fineus on June 15, 2005, 07:59:21 am: Who would of thought the FS2 engine would be capable of such things. Kudos to the SCP team and to you, Omniscaper, for your excellent modelling skills :)

and I have been thinking about this, as I have been doing other upgrades, I have made sure to plan ahead for when I get around to re-implementing this. it's one of the things I thought about when I started redesigning the BSP structure.

But as long as you provide accurate crash info other that it crashes, they will fix it.

Post by: Unknown Target on June 15, 2005, 11:50:30 am: I sometimes use Bob's old shadow build instead of the newer, more stable builds, simply because it looks so awesome :D Can't wait for this to get put back into the main code.

Doesn't matter if shadows are turned on or not... it's the code that makes the engine less stable. Unless it's very carefully combed for bugs, which Bobboau is not known for doing. :p

Post by: Flipside on June 15, 2005, 02:33:36 pm: I think BW was talking about the SCP in general, it's somewhat counter-productive for every time Bobb talks about a new feature, remembering he didn't start this thread, someone starts going 'Oh Noes! The Bugs!', it's not exactly a positive way of looking at the SCP ;) If we followed that line of thinking, we'd all still be playing Vanilla FS2 and complaining that no-one in the SCP was doing anything.

It definitely makes my new Basestar look more menacing.

Post by: Omniscaper on June 15, 2005, 06:01:38 pm: It would be great to have a no win scenario mission where a Basestar jumps in behind you and casts a shadow over a Battlestar right before destroying everything.

In the words of Slippy (http://www.game-warden.com/forum/showthread.php?t=804) "It's beautiful!" (http://www.classicalhorn.com/hosted/slippy009.mp3). :nervous:

LoL Raa.

Damn, this makes me want that new computer all the more... :(

Post by: Omniscaper on June 15, 2005, 09:25:09 pm: It will of course have more. The model shown is the foundation from which I will add more detail. I suppose this model can be LOD 3. The Basestar will also have a hangar bay you can fly into. And perhaps find some naked Boomers! :)
