ok, last I'm going to touch of this till after 3.6, I added my trueform code into this and it makes everything just, oh so much better looking (too bad it also makes everything crash randomly for no reason)
use the comand line -max_subdivide 2.5 (2.5 can be a smaller or bigger number, that's just what I recomend for now)
it's the same file,just re-download

bob, one more time:

i am reporting a slight bug, when you go out of the cockpit, and then back in, you see the back end of your ship, locked in front of you, when you moce around, it mves in the opposite direction, the screenies show the exact problem. the only problem was that i posted with an .bom URL instead of .com, redmanace reposted it without the typo.

It's even worse with the original FS2 actually since it's writing even larger .tga files (not that bmp is exactly small!). :D

in d3d, the screenshot function also compresses the TGA while the OGL version doesn't so its much faster, but i doubt the effect will work.  this is yet another thing to work on *sigh*

Can we please make specular and reflection maps seperate? I really hate seeing metal that should be specular, but not reflective also.

Deepblue, I think this answers your question:

No. It doesnt look good to have both shine maps and reflection maps on the same surface sometimes. (especially when it comes to the hull, it should be shiny but not reflective)

Okay. I must be doing something wrong cause as soon as I run this build all the specular lighting and glowmaps disappear.

Here's my command line -spec -glow -pcx32 -jpgtga -d3d_no_vsync -d3dmipmap -fps -fov 0.42 -max_subdivide 2.5

i kinda think he's right, the effects should be kept seprate.  however adding another map could be a problem too.  another pass would slow things down abit.

i take it that this code is based entirely off of an older build and has nothing to do with the uber fast htl test build. assuming this, once the code is integrated into the uber htl build then we could probibly get away with another pass if we sacrifice uber polycounts (as in < 8000 polys/ship). the map situation would start getting out of control, modders would need 4 bitmaps/ship (texture, glow, shine, and env). this gets confusing fast. i think havins some kind of material library woud be cool.
