Is Freespace suppose to look this good? =P (Image Heavy)
I'll be nice and say that it ran on a 640x800, but the effects were high. i guess its the way i configured my system.  :ick

Setekh!!!

he's posted!

/*dances with joy*/

/*slowly stops as the other people in the SWIC computer lab look at me strangly*/

if you like this you're gona be blown away with what were going to get away with soon, in about a month we should have a fully implemented HT&L upgrade wich means all the super cool effects all modern games have we too will be able to have, one I'm particularly redy for is cubic environment mapping with per mission created global environment maps,
and then we'll get vertex shaders wich will bring prober beam lighting (currently imposable with HT&L) and then a re implemntation of the cell shading, then pixel shaders then bump mapping

also if you want some other screens look in this thread

here is an example
as I said in that thread
prepare you blader for emenent relese!

maybe because the pre-rendered sprites look a whole lot better?:wtf:

why, yes, yes it is specular highlighting, or actualy it's better, it's specular mapping, it makes things in game look semi-bump mapped

so are you 'back' back, as in going to reclaim your throne of master spamer (Venom got more posts then you now!!) and HLP lord on high. :)

Ive posted bobs work in the Sci Fi meshes website for mesh artists. they like our work and im trying to get some of them to join in our cause cause many are old FS2 fans and they would like to see there own ideas used into the FS2 engine. They want to learn how to mod, and in exchange for information possible modding fuctions...


this could asist us with newer ideas for source coding...!

I just reinstalled FS2 after more then a year without using it, just running through the main mission I am likeing the extra eye candy rather a lot :D, and the game seems to run faster then it used to (system: Athlon XP 1700+ @ 200x11=2.2 GHz, 512 MB DDR400 [dual channel] and a GF3 @240/525 MHz on a Abit NF7-S).

Plans to add to his post count by remote are already underway ;)

Oh, and Steaky... go check out the screenshots thread - there's some really nice examples of the SCP in action over there!

OT - what happened to all of Venom's postcount? It's now ~318, lots less than Steak's 11k.

Ooh, does that mean you've a separate map that specifies the specular highlights, or the areas affected by specular? At least, that's what it sounds like. That's damn awesome man, congrats to you man. :nod:

Most definitely! :nod: Not sure about lord on high, but I ought to be here virtually every day for... at least six months. :D

Yep, a Different map to affect shine, and color... As I understand it, there's probably a way to make those spinny bits of your Array™ shine a golden color at certain angles... :p

Damn straight. :)

Hmmm, this may be worth checking out... my card handles FSAA already, but it garbles the game's text while doing so. Nice screenies. ;)
