Another thing, you have to have the lighting seting under desplay options at max, or shine maps wont shine.

Wonderful work lightspeed, nice new title also, and thank God for net vampire, so I can DL all this on my slow modem

Bobboau · **Reply #321 on:** November 12, 2003, 12:12:10 am

oh, yeah, if you have you're lighting effects turned down you won't get lighting effects, like shinemaps

by engine trails, do you mean the particle trails, and if so how many particles are you churning out

Ulala · **Reply #322 on:** November 12, 2003, 12:31:34 am

Aha! My effects were in fact turned way down. Okay, so that fixed the "everything looking crappy"-ness, however shinemaps still aren't working. Don't I just put the .pcx into the fs2/data/maps folder? Sorry I'm such a n3\/\/b1e with SCP stuff.

StratComm · **Reply #323 on:** November 12, 2003, 12:53:55 am

Yeah, they go in data/maps, and DON"T CHANGE THE NAMES. We had someone in here the other day trying to do that, and it's not what you're looking for.

Ulala · **Reply #324 on:** November 12, 2003, 01:03:45 am

Hrmm... everything seems right, except they still not shiny.

I'm using the latest Launcher, fs2_open_3_5.exe, looks like I have a bunch of .vps in my FreeSpace2 folder:

fs2_open356.vp
root_fs2.vp
smarty_fs2.vp
sparky_fs2.vp
sparky_hi_fs2.vp
stu_fs2.vp
tango1, tango2, tango3_fs2.vp
warble_fs2.vp

Am I missing any? Also I d/led all the shinemaps and extracted all of them to the data/maps directory without changing the names. I turned the graphics and lighting to the max. My system specs are

Athlon 2600 mghrz
512 MB of Kingston DDR
Radeon 9500 Pro

Help!

use this build

Trivial Psychic · **Reply #326 on:** November 12, 2003, 01:23:29 am

Hey Lightspeed... congrats on your custom rank!

I was just looking through your list of ships which have or will recieve shinemaps, and I noticed some things you missed, although they're minor. You forgot the Terran and Vasudan FS2 sentry guns... the ones without beam cannons.

Later!

Lightspeed · **Reply #327 on:** November 12, 2003, 01:27:26 am

they have FS1 shinemaps.

Trivial Psychic · **Reply #328 on:** November 12, 2003, 01:36:50 am

I stand corrected.

Later!

Don't the shine maps come as part of the media.vp? I'm fairly sure that's where I got mine.

Ulala · **Reply #331 on:** November 12, 2003, 09:26:39 am

w00t! FS2 has never looked better, thanks for the help boys.

J3Vr6 · **Reply #332 on:** November 12, 2003, 10:13:13 am

I think I'll still wait til all of them are done to see :\

That's right, many of them are in the media.vp - WMCoolmon updated it just a few days ago. But not all of them are in there - the most recent shinemaps won't be in there, till Coolmon makes a new build.

marajin · **Reply #334 on:** November 13, 2003, 10:49:19 am

Dunno about others but I think I can wait with the lag time on shinemaps being edited

It already looks damn cool

Lightspeed · **Reply #335 on:** November 14, 2003, 09:08:18 am

Well it took me some time... but at least there's some new shinemaps

shine maps for FS2's support ships! I know the screenies couldve been better but since i finally found the time to complete them I wanted to release them ASAP

Oooo, just a few more to go so I can finally get them!

Taristin · **Reply #337 on:** November 14, 2003, 04:34:57 pm

Too bad the Nepthys' original maps are poo. It needs to be re-done in higher detail. Too bad I can't... (Or can I? *gets idea*)

Anyway, the Terran one looks good. But the Nepthys looks, uhh... I dunno. You know those oblong pieces on it's back legs, like on the Seth, well, I think a better job could have been done on it. As of right now, it looks like the ones GE did. And I don't like them. They aren't shiny...

Lightspeed · **Reply #338 on:** November 14, 2003, 04:38:20 pm

the screenies are crappy. try it in-game

Taristin · **Reply #339 on:** November 14, 2003, 04:45:45 pm

I'll have to later. Takes so much effort to run the game and all...

And I may still re-draw the textures, and make someone color it for me. But I doubt that'll be any time soon.
