Bob, have you implemented all the stuff you just did into one exe?

Bobboau · **Reply #21 on:** August 13, 2003, 10:31:06 am

test this, it works on my machine

Nuke · **Reply #22 on:** August 15, 2003, 02:31:07 pm

i tried the exe and i couldnt get it working at first. so i downloaded the launcher and still it didnt work. the executeable complained about the registry entry videocardfs2open not being there, so i added it manually and set it to 1. i sitll got errors saying that it wouldnt run under dx5 and required dx8 (the launcher setting for dx8 was selected though). i got the game to run under opengl, but without the specular stuff and with

of crashes. what else needs to be in my registry for the game to run under dx8. btw i run dx9 on an ati mobility 9000 (2.4ghz p4 w/ 128mb ram, winxp). im going to try again on my other computer (geforce4 mx420, p4 1.7ghz, 512 mb ram, dx9, winxp) and see if it works.

run the launcher without IE or WE open.

you know I am going to add this to that error

Looking that list of achievements, Venom, I wonder what the FreeSpace devs would think of all this.

Gee... ****. Sounds like he must have been a rare genius, if he wrote half of all this stuff which seems ridiculously complex to me. Bummer.

Maybe you could lure him back with your achievements on FS Open.

So, in less than 7 days, Bob has poped up the specular maps, the FOV and the clipping free modifications. Plus I've heard about the -trans tag for the maps. I needed to test it:

( edited, damn case sensitive thinguy )

Do the transparent cockpit thing with the Apollo and put up the zip. That kicks ass.

I'm a little surprised considering the source material how good the cockpit and pilot look.

The real test would be an Anubis though

(Mainly seeing the cockpit on the central vertical fin showing a little Vasudan in it would be so cute...)

hmm, head to the descent network website, you'll see the material is plenty and way enough.
well, the vasudan I have it ( Bob's mesh, thanks

), but I have absolutly no idea of how a vasudan coskpit could look like...

Bobboau · **Reply #32 on:** August 16, 2003, 06:41:56 am

hey did that zipped up file with the -trans tag work?
should have made the Ulysses transparent (with inverted colors)
if it didn't then something is seriusly screwed up.

haven't tried yet, I can't right now, so I'll test it tomorrow.

Nuke · **Reply #34 on:** August 16, 2003, 11:30:56 am

i will give it a spin from the command line and see it it works. leave it to windows to screw things up.

Well I know about that site, I'm just surprised how good the textures came out considering that you had to yank 'em from those images

Zods are not cute.

Unknown Target · **Reply #37 on:** August 16, 2003, 03:41:10 pm

Hey, Venom, how you do that? I'm doing the same thing with a Perseus using a cockpit I stole + modified from Macross VO

Not as good as yours, but I'd like to know how you did the cockpit bars + stuff...

Solatar · **Reply #38 on:** August 16, 2003, 03:44:24 pm

Nice work Venom, looks like it came straight outta the fs1 opening cutscene (Valkyrie instead of Apollo bomber thingy, but still

).

Now you have to do that with at least all the fs1 port ships.

It's going to be interesting if the final SCP ships look as good as the FS1 intro cutscene due to the improved lighting, etc.
