ambient light is great if you turn it to "-ambient_factor 75".

[gevatter Lars]

We have quite a discussion running if we should use the ambient lightning and if how strong should it be.
We will see what will do the best job....have to test it myself.

Whats the problem with the tga files?

[Tolwyn]

oh, the thrusters are from the latest media vp release. I might do something myself though...

[Roy fokker]

the reason is those are pcx version not tga one sif that what you mean light

[Lightspeed]

If you really need to use 8-bit, at least use these ones.

Best would be to convert the new ones to 8-bit PCX yourself.

Side Note: The ones supplied in the mediaVP aren't that great, AFAIK. I dont see whats your problem with using my TGA ones, though.

leave it as it is. Have the user choose his amount of ambient. just put "-ambient_factor xx" to your command line where xx is an integer you can set to whatever you want.

[Tolwyn]

just forgot to download 'em. That is all

new shots from the front

[Woolie Wool]

Make the ambient light brighter so I can see it better.

Or maybe open yours eyes?
Man I can clearly see what's there to see ( not much, granted ).

Looks impressive, especially the shot with the black ships against the white planet. Eliminating the ambient light was the best thing of FSopen so far, but please try to get some screenshot where you see the lit side of the ships:p

[Tolwyn]

well, that is the light source placement. And roy is also using green light source (remember our discussion regarding it before you joined us a long time ago ? )

Btw, if I look at the upper picture I remember that we need new model of the Confederation-class

[gevatter Lars]

Well do we have any volunteers for texturing the Confed DN?
My modelfile should be on the server...still thinking that the longer version looks better.......

[Lynx]

And I still think the shorter version looks better...maybe there's a surprise for you...next weekend;)

your in a different system got to have a different colour sun but i don't think green adds the mood to this mission might change it tonight

[Lynx]

You don't need a another sun color in another system: remember most stars are actually red dwarfs, though making the suns of most star system in deep dark red would certainly have a rather depressing efffect on most players:D .

Green stars are an impossibility. At no temperature any star would have green light - perhaps there are some wierd phenomenos out there that have green stars but they haven't been found yet

[Tolwyn]

on the contrary: there are green stars. Vega X is an example

[Lynx]

Never ever heard of that one. Must be some either some super wierdo star or it's light id being filtered throgu some sort of nebula or something.

[Lynx]

Here's a new screenshot showing both

a) the new Jutland Class CVA against Tolwyn's beautiful planet backgrounds.

b)why I passionately hate almost every single aspect of Freespace's vertex based lighting.

Get rid of the smoothing, you'll get rid of the odd shadows
That ship has absolutly no reason being smoothed anyway
