Because some other project depend on the release of the 3.6.9 VP´s I want to know, when it´s finished (I thought it was announced for the beginning of 2007).
-
i assume when it's done!
but i am also eagerly awaiting the damn 3.6.9 mvps...can't wait for the muzzleflashes and stuff! ;7
-
im hoping thrashmans mid-range orion gets in there instead of the poly-wasting 3.6.8 one. you cant even see a difference exept the framerate drop.
-
Taka, what are your system specs? You can use CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php) to find out if you're not sure of some of them. (D'l link on top left of that page.) I'm wondering why Orions are such a problem for you.

How about no? The Orion won't be replaced with a lower-poly version. If people don't like it, they can always download something else.
And what the hell do you mean by polygon "wasting"?
And I'm eagerly awaiting 3.6.9 MVPs. :nervous:
-
More polygons to the people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and takashi buy yourself a used Geforce 6000 series card or something that way you can play with relativly good graphics.....
-
I have a GeForce FX 5500, and MVPs run without problems (except for mv_adveffects, obviously).
-
I had an old Geforce 6600GT on my old comp could run Freespace with almost everything turned on with a decent frame rate (had an old P4 processor on that one so that kinda limited it a bit I think)
-
I'm sorry, I'm working on the VPs. There have been some test versions already, but they had quite a few bugs.
Fixing this problems became pretty complicated. Texture names are important to the new management. I had to rename a lot of texturenames in the POFs. Plus not all textures look the same for the lower lods.
So I got to check a lot of things to apply one texture to one ship. And it's hard to keep the overview, so I prefer working through the bug list in one pass, to avoid making new ones.
I simply didn't have the time to do that, so I picked up smaller tasks to work on.
Don't worry, I will complete it.

Hey cool, the Loki might be done in time to get in after all. :D
-
you guys realize most people who gotn open have crappy systems, right?
i like the low-poly loki. the shiny opaque cockpit adds a "stealth-recon" look to it. -see tech description-
-
Shut up takashi! Shut up about your goddamn computer! Just shut up shut up shut up! Please for the love of god! We're not going to downgrade everything just so YOU can play! Other people who have low end systems at least have the sense to turn down the details! Why can't you and just please shut up about your stupid system!

Cant you just use an older build then or something I upgraded my computer so I could use all the features (ok not for FS2 I admit but so that I could run max graphics in Supreme commander and C&C 3 at 1280x1024 :-) )
-
Hmph. Slobber on this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2000380048+106790703+4025&name=%2425+-+%2450), takashi. ;)

a 64mb card!? i have a 32!

Honestly how old are your computer????????
(just wondering)
-
as old as freespace 2 retail.
-
:ick: Build yourself a new one... You can usually make a half-decent one for prolly $400-$800. You already have keyboard, mouse, monitor, and speakers... just need what's in the box.
-
Damn I wish we could ban that guy... *sigh*
-
you mean jordan pelovitz, aka the guy who demeans people who live in a closed world gfx-card wise?
please do.
-
I hate people who refuse to update despite being desperately behind the times, slowing down the entire industry in the process. :hopping:
"Nurr, a 2mb file. I can't download this with my 13k modem!!!1 PLEASE BREAK THE FILE INTO FIVE HUNDRED TWO BYTE FILES, INCONVENIANCING EVERYONE ELSE WITH THE SENSE TO UPGRADE!!!"
"Omfg, my 3mb videocard doesn't meet the minimum requirements for your awesome game!! PLEASE DOWNGRADE EVERYTHING AND STONEWALL ALL PROGRESS I AM A DINOSAUR PLEASE HELP ME RAWR RAWR!!!"
DIEEE!!
*lunges at takashi*
-
:eek2: Awesome.

Words fail me at your stupidity.
All humorous responses will be suspended for the time being, because of total neural shutdown due to an overly-large moronic post intake.

Look at the rofl section in my siggy.

Taka is apparently off his bipolar and schizo meds.
-
:lol: -- At least, IMO, he is slowly improving. HLP osmosis for ya. ;)

a 64mb card!? i have a 32!
Considering you could probably find a 128 MB Radeon 9800 Pro or GF4 Ti4200 on Ebay for less than $15 USD, you have absolutely NOTHING to complain about.
Good grief, if you want to pay the shipping across the border (CAN-US) I'll mail you a 64 MB GF2 MX400 for free.
-

My connection is even slower, and I've never requested the such a terrible scatter.

That'll just make him complain more, I had a 64MB GeForce4 MX4000 and it could barely handle 3.6.5.
-
The link I gave him showed several decent cards for $30-$40 USD.
-
Bob's new beams should definately get put in 3.6.9
Also, the FS2 campaign with Lightspeed's nebulea's might be good. Of course that would mean his nebulea's need to be included as well.

Put'em in the 3.6.9 MVPs
-
Dude... if my Pc can handle it, then yours should be able to. I pry have one of the slowest pos's on here, 900mhz celeron w/ 512mb ram, geforce 5200FX PCI card. I play high res with some slowdowns, just used the shockwave mediavp without the animations and i'm good.
-
To be honest, I doubt his problem has anything to do with his computer.
-
ive never requested a 5 poly orion. im requesting one that actualy uses the polys to add detail.
-
*chokes*
:nervous:
:wtf:
*turns and leaves, holding his head to prevent migraine*

Ok, that is one of the dumbest things I have EVER heard you say.
-

Not really, 3.6.9 is really good. I have a 64mb GeForce4 MX420 and it runs fine, granted the framerate drops to about 20fps (and without Adveffects.vp) sometimes but it's manageable. IIRC 3.6.5 had a few memory leaks which is why your card may have struggled with it.
-
I would like to formally place a humble request for a 15k poly Orion. :p
-
The Colossus must be upgraded ASAP.
-
Yah the whole game is named after it. What does that say about us with a low polly collosus.
-
The Colossus must be upgraded ASAP.
Aye. The Colossus desperately, DESPERATELY needs to be upgraded.
The fighterbay is a frickin' triangle haphazardly carved out of the ship's underside.
-
i shall pof>cob and redo the fighterbay! then you will love the new collosus!*
*if you have no retinas.
-
And the upgrade from triangle to pentagon begins....
-
Does that mean we'll have the USA military Command stationed on the Colossuss? ;7

Good idea! then it gets blown up for a reason!
The mayor slowdown I think for the 3.6.9. Mv's is that everything is going to be DDS'ed.
Am I right?
-
It should be upgraded, yeah, but not just because of the fighterbay. The whole model looks poor when we use the "specular" option. The model is suffering of many other problems...the turrets are damn low poly and the passage between one texture and another isn't harmonic...
-
when you build a ship with two styles from two species would it look very harmonic?
-
when two species came together and designed a huge ass hybrid ship, they unleashed a new type of "horny" in the galaxy. Every ganymede will have it's time with colossus.
-
your creepy.

ya

So...umm...back to the subject of the post...Any idea on the lead-time for a release of the 3.6.9 mediavps?
-

Umm... "never". ;)
The 3.6.9 VPs are being skipped and we'll go straight to 3.6.10 instead. Part of this is lack of available time from DaBrain (the man is just busy), part of it is new/modified features in 3.6.10 that handle the content better of fix content related bugs. About another month should see 3.6.10 released, and I think that the 3.6.10 VPs will follow shortly after, or be released at the same time.
-
Thanks for the update Taylor. I look forward to the 3.6.10 vps then!

Wouldn't the NTF have to be re-named to GLA? (Global Liberation Army from C&C Generals)
