asorted texture effect I want tested
this is the most up to date debug build of FSO and I have just redone the way glowmaps are handeled internaly, I would like some of the moders to test to make sure that some of my texture effects are working (and to make sure you are aware of them) so here they are:

to get a texture to be full bright non-lit add "-amb" to it's name
to get basic transparency add "-trans" to the name

these two work best together (in terms of asthetics, actualy it's more like the second one works best with the first)

to get a ship with animated textures simply make sure that there is no pcx file with the name you want and that there is an ani
(in otherwords it looks for the pcx first)

to have a glow mapped texture, make a version of the base texture that looks as the parent texture should if it had no external lighting (see the glow texture pack for some examples)
then name it "name_of_base_texture"-glow

the reorganisation of the glow mapping means that they can be animated, they follow the same rules as the animated textures, and yes they can be of any length of animation, but most situations would probly be a good idea to keep them the same length.
any glow map can have any resolution independent of the base texture's resolution,
yes I am aware of the odd nebula fogging rendering bug assosiated with glowmaps

I have included a warp model but I should have fixed the "crash when it can't find the warp model" bug

that is a SCP exe it has a lot of tasty additions, I am focusing on textureing effects that I have done and would like some of you to try and implement
I explained how they are suposed to be implemented and I am now asking you to play with them

it allows you to use animated and glowmapped textures

Would this work with anis too?

The warp ani, for instance.

afaik, the warp ani is already self illuminated, wouldn't need it.
bob, I think if you linked all the screenshots here, you'd get more attention. I guess the folks around have no idea how great this improvement is.

That is a very good idea. I myself can imagine what you're trying to describe, but it would help me to no end if I had a point of reference.

Sorry Bobboau, but i see no real difrence.  You could maybe get the same effect by just editting the right maps.
...There ought to be something surreal about a Zoid offering romantic advice...and yet there is not. It seems perfectly normal that the Liger is giving Bit advice on relationships, and it shouldn't, but it does. Dangit man, you've confused me again.[/I]

You don't mean get the glow effect without this source code chagne do you? The maps aren't just brighter, but they produce their own light...

let's explain ( man, really... )
take the ravana, put it in a mission with a black sun. what you see? if you have a background,you'll see a black shape at most. Use that: ooooooooooooh! you see all the red glowing bits just if they were lights, just like in the cutscenes! magic!

oh, that's what he meant.

Still pictures just don't really show that effect off.

So, what version of the SCP release is this based on? I'm finding the SCP forum a bit hard to follow....

yeah, I've posted OTT screenshots using that, and the bright colors are completly washed out because of the jpeg compression, so it's hardly noticeable :doubt:
