Damn fine job man, keep it up.

Are you also gonna create a high-res .tga of earth, since one was included in FS2 IIRC?

Later!

Great work!

Lightspeed · **Reply #63 on:** December 06, 2003, 08:32:26 am

no tga,pcx of earth is included in FS2

I can make one if you want, though.

Trivial Psychic · **Reply #64 on:** December 06, 2003, 01:43:38 pm

Actually, after looking through the version history of the FS1 Port, I find that it was included with that campaign for their final mission in the Great War. Just after you defeat the Lucifer, there's a follow-on mission where you exit the other side of the node, and Earth is there ahead of you.

My mistake. Sorry.

Later!

Alright, alright. Worth another highlight.

Lol, highlight and not even done yet... I'm still working on PlanetE, expect a new version this evening

Lightspeed · **Reply #68 on:** December 08, 2003, 01:07:13 pm

*taken out for the newer one*

new preview, its looking a bit weird still, i think. Built in some stuff people advised me to. It needs comments to get any better i fear

-edit: and the cities are messed up a bit, i know

StratComm · **Reply #69 on:** December 08, 2003, 01:23:43 pm

A few things:

Nightside lights look pretty good, day-side lights are a bit odd. Turn them down or turn them off. Also, what's up with the big brown smear where the nightside lights begin? The edges of all of those things look odd at best, maybe they should be feathered in a little more. But you've said that already

The atmosphere looks much better though.

Clouds!!! It needs clouds. Even some whispys would be better than the completely clear sky that's going on at the moment. I just noticed it, though, so it's not an imperative.

Lightspeed · **Reply #70 on:** December 08, 2003, 01:59:01 pm

There are some clouds there right now

Woolie Wool · **Reply #71 on:** December 08, 2003, 02:05:23 pm

Take the city lights off please.

Lightspeed · **Reply #72 on:** December 08, 2003, 02:09:31 pm

I said they were screwed up, just lemme work on them a bit

deep_eyes · **Reply #73 on:** December 08, 2003, 02:58:51 pm

curious... can the planet effects have glowmaps as well? like to have illuminated cities (and possibly a way to turn them on or off as if they were day or night or like a ship?); ?

Woolie Wool · **Reply #74 on:** December 08, 2003, 03:01:00 pm

They don't need glowmaps. Backgrounds aren't affected by ambient lighting.

Lightspeed · **Reply #75 on:** December 08, 2003, 03:10:56 pm

very good suggestion deepeyes

Its not currently possible but you could easily work around that problem by implementing a SEXP to change mission background images. Very... VERY interesting idea

Lightspeed · **Reply #76 on:** December 08, 2003, 03:47:45 pm

Full Size

any better?

Terorist · **Reply #77 on:** December 08, 2003, 04:08:45 pm

Looks like there's only one habitable location on the whole planet.

Meaning that it's too large - make it (a lot?) smaller and spread the light around a little - some light strips and scattered groups look a lot better.

StratComm · **Reply #78 on:** December 08, 2003, 04:09:48 pm

Yeah it's better. The lights are still just a bit off, but much improved from the last rendition. At the scales you'd normally see it, it will look fine.
