That's all very good, but I am persuaded by the quality of your work, Karma, to respectfully request that you make more

Thank you        -Turambar

*bump* (but for a reason )




finally completed the HTL fenris - fully working as far as i can tell. however, due to that weird limit thing, only the latest FS Open build will run it - (since Bob only recently bumped it up in the SCP (thanks for that BTW ) ) and that latest build is currently this one or later: 3-28-04 build by Bobboau - post bugs here or in Mantis.

The Fenris itself:
HTL Fenris
(PCX textures, glowmaps and shinemaps included - the shines slightly edited versions of Lightspeeds amazeing work, and the glowmaps by GE IIRC)

and since i wasn't quite sure which texture format most people prefer for running in FS Open, i made 2 packs of the textures in TGA and JPG formats:
TGA Format textures and glow & shine maps
JPG Format textures and glow & shine maps

there's also the GTC Orff nameplate in there, as a template for any custom nameplates people want to make.

finally, i don't think we should really continue making ships of *this* level of detail unless we're willing to leave a lot of graphics card owners out of the loop. even with HTL on a moderately powerful machine, this ship took the framerate from 120 when looking at stars down to a fluctuating range between about 15 and 30 FPS

Dude... into the highlights with you. What a fantastic effort, well done.

[Vasudan Admiral]

lol, in the highlights less than a minute after posting it - that's gotta be a record

Thanks very much indeed.

[Turnsky]

awesome

I was quite proud of how quickly I got her in there myself. Awesome work dude, well deserved to both of you.

wait until we remodel and retexture all of the FS ships for HTL

Volition is going to look bad

As is everyone's framerate.

If everyone's framerate goes through the floor, then we can truly call FSO a "modern game".

[Kazan]

not mine

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Oh yes. I forgot you're the only one who matters.

[Flipside]

Awesome work as always VA Looks just about perfect

Fantastically fabulous. Love it love it love it. So then, how would this run on a 9600 XT? My framerates are always at 60, and never go up NOR down. Not even durring big things. It's just at 60... but what would this bring it down to? Which graphics card were you using?

Other then that: absolutely fantastic.

[jdjtcagle]

Does this mean that there will be no more High Poly ships??

Or is there a cure for the poor framerates

[Flipside]

You need to disable the Vsync in the launcher if you want your framerate to run at more than 60.

Yes, I would say your card can handle this model

Jdj, alas, the cure for low frame rates is the same as it always has been. Faster video card, which, obviously not everyone can afford. You could always turn off some of the more time-consuming effects?

[jdjtcagle]

What excactly would happen if you turn off that effect??

[kasperl]

ok, try running FSO without -spec and or -glow

[Flipside]

The Vsync limits the maximum framerate of the game to the framerate of your monitor, and won't go above it Turning this off will make your framerate run higher, but may cause 'splitting' halfway down the screen occasionally, which isn't terrible, but is noticeable sometimes
