It seems to me as if there's been a whole slew of progress on the modding front during the last few weeks, with lots of little improvements to make FreeSpace pretty.  I won't be able to use any of this stuff myself until I get home for the summer, so here's a short list of some recent enhancements, so other folks can have a quick reference guide to new goodies--and so I won't forget where they are when I get to use my new computer a month from now.

The High-Poly Fenris: here.

Turambar's Afterburner Trails: here.

High-Poly Asteroids: here.

Carl's Impact Effects: here.

Krackers' and Turambar's new beam glows: here.

Lightspeed's latest weapon and impact effects: here.

Media VP 3.5.6x: here.

jdtcagle's new "Capella/Sathanas" sun (might be included in the newest Media VP, not sure): here.

ROFL: here.

Bobbau's latest (?) environment mapping build: here.

DaBrain's "improvement pack": here.

Maybe possibly new subspace "tunnel" effect: here.

Stunaep's new high-res suns: here.

Turambar's new thruster effects: here.

Nice idea... here's my shot 'o doom:

[Carl]

yay for us!

[Carl]

That'd a nicely pixelated nebula you got there, Thunder. where'd you get it from, tachyon: the fringe?

[Fineus]

Thats not a nebula, thats a stupidly close-up shot of the maxim impact effect. Here's an extract of the animation - it moves a hell of a lot faster and is rarely seen so close in game

[Flipside]

Hmmmmmm... All things considered. that works surprisingly well as a nebula then

[jdjtcagle]

I have seen that before...
I think UT had that for his mod

[Unknown Target]

Si Ripped from the explosions from FS1, I think

Are you happy yet?

Post screenshots or perish.

Most of that is already  in the wiki, but it might be a good idea to create a "list of SCP enhancements" page, a collection of links directly to files and to these threads. link that page from the installing guide, media VP and general SCP pages.

no spec mapping...

[Singh]

This enough fer ya or are you interested in some more

Which is odd because spec mapping is enabled in the launcher, and I'm using the 05.04.04 build... which is the latest, no?

Singh: I see you rotated that planet.

and please, upload some screenies to the site, i'll PM you something.

also, i like all these screenies. Perhaps someone could make a little screenie page in the wiki, with the URL's underneath the images, for when we need to pimp stuff.

*aghast at Kal's astronomical framerates*

I'd just like to renew my hatred for you, K. Hope you don't mind.
