Well, I'm very protective of my anuket.

It's much better now.

no worries, was a human mistake by the guy who runs the server. By the time he noticed that files were being deleted, half the folders were already gone (and mine was the one being deleted at the moment... lol)

shouldn't happen again

You know, you really shouldn't have asked.

Nice, but what's with the yellow?!

Lightspeed · **Reply #267 on:** November 09, 2003, 09:39:17 am

thats the way the gas looks.

I can only reccommend to try this, it really looks cool

Posting screenies isn't really much used since this consists of animated glow maps (just try it and you'll see why screenies aren't much use -- but if you manage to get some good screenies, feel free to post them

)

the best screenie i was able to get

To get them to work, you must make sure the game will NOT find any corresponding PCX file to it. To achieve this rename the glow map to something like XXXX.pcx.orig, and if you have the glowmaps VP you'll have to either build a new VP or extract all the glowmaps to the maps dir and rename the VP, and then rename the pegasus glowmap to something else. Else, FS2 will revert to the PCX glowmap.

Nonetheless, it's worth it, believe me.

great what you have done

Fineus · **Reply #270 on:** November 09, 2003, 10:28:48 am

Damn man, that's impressive... seriously impressive. I was planning on doing something like that for the docking points on the Orion fighter bay and so on - but I think I'll leave it to you!

bob, make it so we dont have to do this

Bobboau · **Reply #272 on:** November 09, 2003, 03:23:44 pm

well, seeing as someone is actualy useing it now, I might

karajorma · **Reply #273 on:** November 09, 2003, 04:48:43 pm

Would just renaming the .ani to .pcx work?

Bobboau · **Reply #274 on:** November 09, 2003, 05:08:27 pm

no, it would open it as a pcx, and probly crash horably

diamondgeezer · **Reply #275 on:** November 09, 2003, 05:41:34 pm

Doesn't want to work for me. I've put it in the maps folder and deleted the pcx glow map. I don't have another one in a VP... is there something else I need to do?

Hold on, will it work in the tech room? Cos I didn't actully try it in a mission...

Flaser · **Reply #276 on:** November 09, 2003, 07:06:29 pm

Lightspeed I have all the respect for GE's work, but some of his stuff is just shine highlighting IMHO, whereas your ones give a more genral shinyness to ships.

So I was wondering if you ever wanted to have a go at the FS1 ships too?

Bobboau · **Reply #277 on:** November 09, 2003, 10:53:11 pm

I got it working remember to look in the root data and data/maps

Drew · **Reply #278 on:** November 09, 2003, 11:56:11 pm

dude, lightspeed, that is f*ckin awesome. I need to to learn how to do this. Now we can make the shivan caps look REALLY scary.

btw, i think it look really kewl if the speed which the maps pusled was related to the actuall speed of the pegasus. Like the fighter was sittin there idling, the pusling would slow down and it would look like the fighter was resting. And when it speeds up the pulses get faster.... that would be reallly kewl

and sumthin like; when a shivan is about to shoot a beam the area around it starts pusing fast like there is energy being dericted from under the skin to the cannon.

and it worked fine for me, just slap it into your root and maps folders

Galemp · **Reply #279 on:** November 10, 2003, 01:07:07 am

The Pegasus, by its very nature as a stealth fighter, shouldn't shine or glow or do anything to attract attention to itself.

But it still looks cool.
