But!? Can he sing the entire Oscar Meyer Weiner song?

I think not!

edit: Lightspeed, the Thoth is your best one yet. Seriously, I am flabergasted by the quality. And I'm not one to be flabergasted easily.

Nope, I haven't even heard of that song you're talking of.

When u guys say "animated" what do u mean?  It may sound dumb, sorry.  I thought LS already did animated things for the stealth ship and the dragon.  But in game the stealth has the bright blue and the dragon is bright red, but are those red and blue supposed to dance around or flow or something?

The pegesus has a wite flash run along the blue lines in game, and the shivan ships have glowmaps that pulse. That's what he means by animated.

ANIs only work if no PCX/TGA/JPG/DDS image is found. You will have to get rid of all previous glow maps (may have to delete them from your SCP VPs too) for them to work. And yes, the glow maps pulse.

The red thing  pulse.

It's kinda hard to notice this during the game. But try to create a mission with a dragon, which has it's engine disabled. And then watch it ;)

@ LS you could create a zoo-like mission, where all the ships you worked on, are in :)


Edit: Arrr, you where faster.

BTW perhaps it's not wise to create anis now. Bob said there might be 32bit anis in the near future.

Well, at least keep the 32bit images, for later ani creations.

Yes, but do you need 32-bit to make a red pulsing glow? I don't know if you'd really need to use 16 million shades of red... :rolleyes:

Really, I hardly use 250 of the 256 colours I have.

32bit anis for glowmaps would be a waste. Heck, I even save my normal glowmaps in 8-bit to save you some download size. There's absolutely no difference.

And about the disabled engine... Just go into your techroom. But what's even better: Go to FRED one of these days, and make a mission that makes use of the "disable glowmaps" feature. THEN watch what happens :nod:

-edit: and it should be animated in the targetting box as well, technically. So there's no excuse for not seeing it, unless you're blind. :p

ugh, deleting old glows would be such a mission from the zpack or the other packs...  I'd have to do it on a day I have patience.

Sorry if this has already been asked, didn't have time to read the whole thread, but will there be a pack of all of the shinemaps? Or would it be too big to get hosted..?

I still think the Nepthys, the Sekhmat, and maybe even the Bakha need major facelifts.

And since they're so good at it, I know I won't have to wait long. :D
