Blue planet screenies from the guys that play it. . .
Post away!
-
I have some.

Cobra posted this in the "Celebration of Freespace" thread.
I'd guess it'd work here to kick things off:

Also, another one from "Celebration of Freespace", this time by castor

I'll go take my own...later :P

This is a shot of the start of the first FRED cinematic with MediaVPs 3.6.10 beta, and my current desktop background:

I'll post more when I feel like it.

Very well. Here are some fleet screenshots from the final missions of the campaign. Nothing special.
I also have a screenie from the Sathanas exploding but I won't post it cause there is nothing intresting in it - all you can see is the shockwave.

I have a few. But no shinemaps, no env maps, img2dds on. With such "features" it's a miracle BP looks good to me. I could post them once I'm back.
-
what command lines where used to get the first one?
-
-env ?
-
I mean like ogl_spec 50 or whatever.
-
Something like -ambient_factor 75 -spec_exp 11 (which is what I am using)
just check the FSwiki and you can customize your settings to your liking :)
-
How do you take screenshots on a Mac?
-
Any way to change the screenie binding in the options (F2 equivalent?)
-
Is there a command for that? I'll go take a look...

img2dds doesn't improve quality.
-
It improves performance, that's why I said it's on.
-
OK.
-

No. :(

Shift + Command + 3

That's a full-page screencap. I'll see if it works in FS2_Open. Thanks. :D
-
It works! Posting some screenshots now.

There are a few more screenshots here (http://cid-78eece80a0658c61.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/FreeSpace%202%20-%20Blue%20Planet?uc=5). You should be able to access it since I enabled full public access.
...oops, double post. :nervous:
-
Hmm ... Androgeos, you might consider adjusting your light settings. You appear to have them at the defaults which doesn't look great IMO.
Here are some BP2 screenshots from the site:

Light? As in adjusting the gamma correction under Game Options? :confused:

He probably meant

-
Oh, okay. I'll take a look at it. Thanks for clarifying. :nod:
-
Hey, don't knock the man for sticking with the defaults. Some of us like to actually see other ships. :p
-
Oh, you can see them with darker lighting settings just fine. They merely look more convincing that way.

Boanerges is lame.
-
Yeah, but holds enough helios for you to singlehandedly disarm all the beam turrets :P
Wingmen aren't very good at complex tasks like that.
-
The Boanerges doesn't have a back-mounted turret . . . can't outrun any pursuers . . . can anyone beat that?
BTW, why are generally all the fighters in FS2 have a smaller after-burner max compared to their FS1 counterparts? More realistic maybe? Easier to get hit by AAAFs? :confused:
-

Exactly.

I have no idea...
-
The Boanerges doesn't have a back-mounted turret
no fs ships have "back-mounted turrets". they all shoot at what you are targeting.
-
Okay, I was messing around in my FS2 folder and found some of these . . .
(http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/3128/chargeofthevishnansus2.jpg)
I call it "Charge of the Vishnans . . ."

"Watching Helplessly"

Not anymore. I believe Wanderer coded in autonomous turret control.

Newness screenshot from the BP website:

-
Haha...that was only put there an hour ago! It amazes me how quickly you twig onto updates, CKid.
-
Ooo...shiny... :drevil:
-
The Temeraire . . . again . . .
BTW, the new fancy ships from AoA are a rare and new ships within the GTVA right? If it was standard, it wouldn't even classify as a "battle." More like a "massacre." :p
-
The Temeraire . . . again . . .
Maybe. Or maybe it's another Titan. We don't know...
-
I think it's the Orseis. :nervous:
(mentioned in AoA)
-
I think the Orseis is a Hecate.
Screenshot changed:

Is that Anemoi attacking the Chimera?
-
Yeah, but holds enough helios for you to singlehandedly disarm all the beam turrets :P
Wingmen aren't very good at complex tasks like that.
not to mention fairly durable in its own right.
-
:bump:
A taste of what's to come with the new mediavps ;7
(http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj251/blowfishpro/newplanet-1.jpg)
-
what a second....... F*** YEAH! NEW SHIVAN MISSLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Ooh, nice beam.
I note a low frame rate, though.
-
Shivan missiles FTW!
-
Ooh, nice beam.

Blame my average computer and hacked install.
And the beam, as it was in that screenshot, hadn't been changed from the original BP one.
-
Really? I don't usually pause while playing to take a look. :nervous:
-
I just love that electric blue beam . . . :D
-
Is that Anemoi attacking the Chimera?
I bet it's a GTVA cruiser trying to take out the Fortune or Solace. Also, I really, really love the Karuna frigates.
Really excited for the Shivan warheads. Er, does this constitute indirect confirmation that there are Shivans in War in Heaven...?
-
Er, does this constitute indirect confirmation that there are Shivans in War in Heaven...?
No. That's just a modification of AOA
-
It's a screenshot taken from "Preserving the Balance" IIRC.
If you look closely on the escort list, you can see Leraje and Vassago down there. :D
-
Noone noticed the changed Uriel image?
-
Uriel :confused:
What type of ship is it? Internet says its a god of fire . . .
-
http://blueplanet.hard-light.net/
Seriously, click it.
Edit: I suspect it was changed so as to not give the [presumably false] impression that there would be atmospheric missions.
-
Correct.
If I can fit them into the storyline, then they'll go in. In the meantime I'll take the old one down so that people aren't disappointed if there aren't any in the end. :)
-
Instead, now, we'll be surprised when we DO see one :P
-
Uriel :confused:

Uriel is an angel
-
Ah, thanks. :)
Teh, I was wondered if my question was ever going to be answered. :P
-
Which one?
If its about what type of ship it is...check the web page...
-
Ooo, new Uriel image.
/me saves it and crops it into 1280x800 for use as one of his 190+ wallpapers.
-
Are the missles on the Uriel part of the model or are they externally carries missles like the Starfury from TBP has?
-
yeah, thats the best part about steve-os stuff. Its so customizable, and everythin's animated.
-
Yea, the Uriel and other Steve-O's fighters/bombers have external weapons, which aren't part of the model.
By the way, when will the Sanctus get de-classified? I mean, we have the UED Solaris de-classified, but not the UEC Sanctus.
-
And there are three known UEF ships that aren't even in the database :nervous:
-
You have insider information? Security lockdown! There's a leak somewhere!
:P
Yeah there's a few more UEF ships that aren't listed on the site but I'll work a bit more on getting the chapter a little closer to being released before putting out some more info.

Leave some a secret. That's always fun.
Is the new computer compatible with Blue Planet? I hope work hasn't stalled out.
-
800x600 resolution, minimum scp files with no graphical enhancements and all detail levels set to minimum. Only then does the fps becomes high enough to be playable. Work continues :)
-
3 known ships?
the corsair, and...?
-
The corsair, the frigate in the UED Solaris video, the juggernaut in the old sneak peek of BP2. Or is the juggernaut out now, and you meant the Sanctus?
-
Uh, the ship in the Solaris video is an artillery ship.
And by juggernaut, do you mean the GTVA Titan reskinned?
-
I would think so. At least that was one of the three I was talking about...

what BP2 sneek peek? The one with the funky techno music?

Uriel is an angel
Actually he's an Archangel. Different chapter within the heavenly chior all together

Sweet mother of whoa.
I pray that thing's still in. I don't want to blow it up -- I'd feel awful! -- but I hope it's in.
-
It looks like a cross between the Golgotha and Anemoi. :nervous:
-
Yes, Vengeance did a great job with that ship. Unfortunately it's also hideously impractical story-wise and doesn't fit in the faction's design philosophy at all.
...
Ah bugger it. I love it too much not to put it in :P
-
How's this for a plot device to put it in:
The UEF studies the Anemoi closely and create a new ship from an old Orion using duplicates of Alliance technology on the defected GTVA ships?
-
But the VengTitan is like 3 times larger than the Anemoi...
-

That thing looks like it'd have taken years to build. There's no way they could've put it together in the brief time since the GTVA showed up with the Anemoi.
-
Probably the GTVA would attack Sol directly the moment their forces were mustered.
-

Hmm...or perhaps an upgraded Anemoi?
-
Its a juggernaut-sized warship though...upwards of 4km long. That's one heck of a modification. :P
-
Maybe it's like a mobile installation repair ship HQ thing.
-
Do the Earthers have any secret govermental organisations capable of building stuff like that without the council of elders finding out?
Maybe a hidden shipyard far out beyond plutos orbit?
-
More secret organizations?
-
who cares, i just know i wanna see my favorite class-name ship kick ass! :p
-
You do know that both ships in the screenshot have the same class name :P
The UEF one will probably change names though, like rest of the fleet has...
Then again it might not.
-
"Clash of the Titans" ... quite literally :P
-
Hmm, does it say that the Temeraire actually defected to the UEF? The debriefing only mentions that most defect - doesn't specify.
-
It is sadly obvious, however, that the Orestes does NOT defect, since that jackass who took over after Admiral Bei left the flag bridge actually followed those bulls**t orders from Command.
-
I thought the guy who took over was Rear Admiral Carey. Isn't he the Temeraire's captain?
-

Isn't he a she?
-
Pfft...just played it again. It's not Rear-Admiral Carey, it's Vice-Admiral Morian.
-
Rear Admiral Carey is a she. :nod:
-
"Choir out." :nod:

How do you take screenshots on a Mac?
You should be ashamed to run a mac and not know. (J/K) Its command+shift+4. I got a Powerbook G4 and Running FS2 Open is freaking awesome on that thing. Less visual distortions than on my desktop PC. Plus when I try to search on the start menu, it actually DOES find what I'm looking for. (Digressing)
-

:wtf:
It's COMMAND + SHIFT + 3 for a fullscreen cap. SHIFT + 4 is a cropped shot.

I think Androgeos had his problem resolved like 4 months ago. So . . . :rolleyes:

Whoa! What are your custom flags? It looks really good from here.

Whoa! What are your custom flags? It looks really good from here.
I stole HerraTohtori's :nervous:. They're on the wiki. Also, I've made texture modifications as well as a couple of custom normal maps...
-
It's awesome. Can you upload those upgraded maps as BP update?
BP is one of my favourite mods and your textures makes it even better.
Also ,I'm using recoloured version of some BP textures so I will be able to apply your normal maps to them.
They look fentastic. :yes2:
-
That's a nice looking normal :) :yes:
-
Oh... :blah: normal maps.
-
Speaking of the Titan destroyer, I just did a quick Wikipedia search on "Temeraire" and my search returned several results. Here are three:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Temeraire_(1798)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ship_Le_T%C3%A9m%C3%A9raire
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Temeraire_(1907)
-
Good point, although I think names can be "random" without any concrete references to existing people, ships, places, and so on.
-
The names Temeraire and Orestes were deliberate choices.
(Temeraire = temerarious; also the ship's namesake has had a hell of a history :))
-
Hey, blowfish, I think you overdid it with those normal maps. They make the hull plating look like it has more depth than some of the actual modeled-in features.
-
The only normal maps I made myself are for helheim01 and the beam cannons which you probably can't see at this distance anyway. I think you're talking about the capital7 normal map, which is taken directly from the mediavps.
-
No ,I'm talking about Helheim01 (I also use beam cannon texture so it will be useful as well).
Darkend Helheim01 is one of the basic textures for my faction ,so normal map for it will greatly improve nearly all ships of this faction. I'm also thinking of another one which uses unmodified Helheim01.
Of course it's not only my mod which will benefit from those textures ,all mods using Helheim01 will be upgraded (warzone for example). I think it's quite popular.
Anyway ,they make BP look better ,so why not to release them just for it (you can also rename AWACtile1 normal map to be used with Raytile1 because it's in fact darkend AWACtile).
-
I don't want to release the texture until I create a better base map to go with it. Right now, they don't look so good together when viewed up close. And my previous post was responding to Aardwolf's comment.
-
OK ,so I'm waiting ,I will be very pleased to see higher-res Helheim01. It's one of my favourite textures for various reskins. Your Titan looks beautyfull. I can barely imagine how it will look with upgraded textures and normal maps. Keep it up. :yes:
-
This Thread need some more pictures ^^
This Mod looks so incredibly good, it's really amazing :-)

How come your logistics vessel doesn't look like a cartoon? :wtf:
-
Cartoon? :wtf:
-
Last time I played Blue Planet (The most current download of it) the lines used to simulate hull crevices were close to pitch black.
Nevermind, I must be going crazy.
-
Well, I can't guarantee that you're not going crazy anyway :P But the texture was changed in the 3.6.10 version. Before it was really low-rez but now it uses a standard fs2 texture (enhanced by the mediavps ;))
-
/me steals a screenshot and adds it to his wallpapers.
-
you are welcome :D
-
So I notice the Anemoi has still got bad smoothing (i.e. it's got no creased edges).
/me points to blowfish
-
:bump:
Any more pics? New 3.10 shiny Media VPs will add super duper nice-ness :yes:
