So I decided to do a playthrough of the original campaigns with 3.6.12.
Moments ago, I just flew against a Lilith for the first time since the upgrade.
I just about wet myself when I first saw it.
Very nicely done, guys. Whoever modeled that is a genius at it.
-
Yeah, my OMG moments were in the 1st mission, when the Psamtik jumped in ... I had completely forgotten about the new Hattie, I had seen it on the forum, but I remembered mostly the new cains & lilith. I only came to the forum from time to time back then.
Also, beam piercing effect was a huge surprise. Didn't see that one coming at all.
-
Yeah, beam piercing was aweeeesome!!
-
On the other hand, beams fading after certain distance kinda sucked, had to remove that >: D
-
Hey, some good came out of it; beam fading forced me to learn how to use tables to fix some of my missions.
-
Every time I see this thread title I think to myself "Ancients and Vasudans and Shivans, Oh My!" :lol:
"Something tells me we're not in Kansas any more Toto!"
:wakka:

No one has made a mod with typical green slimy aliens with stalk eyes and "UFO's" with flashing lights...

We patched that, btw. If you have the MV_Effects.3612.vp, no more beam fade. Course, the other two .3612.vp file are a good idea too.

The Cain and Lilith were modeled by C914 (I think that's the correct arrangement of numbers) and converted/finished by RGANoris.
However, if you think 3.6.12 was something, you're really going to love our next mediavp release. In fact it'll likely be our largest yet!

That would be so awesome. And the ships must spin real fast too.

Ummm check my dump. OR search for UFO :p

Any idea when that will be out?

When it's done (and not really past that)

I came into this thread expecting George Takei. Slight Disappoint.
OTOH, All the new Mediavp models kick inordinate amounts of ass, the Cain/Lilith especially.

Let's see if I can remember every new hi-poly models that will be added ...
Sathanas; shivan strike crafts; Colly, Artemis, Medusa, Hermes, Typhon,
What did I miss?

Indeed :D

You missed the Hades, Boanerges, Poseidon, the Ankh, possibly the Hermes, possibly the NTF installation (made by ragingloli, and we have the mesh), the Knossos, possibly the Argo, possibly the Hippocrates, and very unlikely but a small, very dim possibility of me continuing work on the Deimos for it to be finished and included. Very unlikely, though.
-
And some nice post-processing stuff if I'm not mistaken.
-
That's handled codeside now, iirc
-
Possibly Arcadia..
-
Possibly Rakshasa.... if Rga Noris has the time...
-
Diemos and Rakshasa are a must! They're so common in the campaign... I'm so bummed out whenever I see one of them next to a Hatshepsut now...

I'll use this as motivation to install a bit of Ram and a new video card into my four year old computer. Currently running two SLI linked Nvidia 8600GS'. Freespace shapes my requirements believe it or not. :nod:
-
SLI'd 8600's should run FSO rather nicely. It still plays very nicely with an old 7600 I have around.
Really, the only things it doesn't like so well are intelgrated's, cards that don't support OpenGL 1.5. (Shader Model 2 support is recommended) or VM rendering.
-
They handle crysis 2 on minimal res and low detail better than the xbox 360 according to my younger bro. But I'm keen to get the MAXIMUM out of WIH and the new mvps. Also post processing kills my framerate and I LOVE bloom :D
