Yeah.

The ships not bad either.

Awesome job on the medusa, perfect shine to the metal!
Now if only the in-game shine wasn't that aweful gold/yellow color so the ships would actually look like that

Ever heard of specular lighting that uses the colour of the sun you place in the mission ?

[ShadowDrakken]

uh ok, well lets see here... Earth has a yellow sun... spec lighting off objects on Earth is white... go fig

the bright gold is just plain ugly anyway, plus every sun in every missions of the base game is white anyway

[StratComm]

Um, no they're not.  They just come out white-shining because vanilla FS2 didn't have spec.  But the color of light cast from stars should be close to white.  Save the deep tones for areas passively lit by nebulae reflections, that'd really look best IMO.

Edit your stars.tbl if you dont like it.

[ShadowDrakken]

file search didn't come up with any file called stars.tbl anywhere on my computer

[Lightspeed]

its in the root VP.

[mrduckman]

Update the zpack, please?

Medusa's looking fantastic.

[ShadowDrakken]

LS: ie, screw the players, only developers are allowed to do anything eh?

[Fineus]

Hate to say this but there are tools for opening and extracting files from the VPs that makes modding very easy.

However perhaps a compromise of some kind can be reached that edits the saturation of shine maps via the launcher?

[Bobboau]

yeah, that's like the first thing that most people do when they start modding FS.

On the cards, along with the seraphis as soon as I figure out whats making Rhino crash and finish the seth. Though work is backing up and it might be a while before they get done.

I was wondering wheter you're willing to give a facelift to the FS1 ships too an Athena (my kickass lightning bomber!), an Apollo (whoever said they are poor, should get their egines checked, these aren't the fastest but the most balanced ships) or a Valkyre (everyone favorite) would be very nice.

[Trivial Psychic]

Don't forget about the Anibus, Amun, Scorpion and Shaitan.

[Lightspeed]

I'm gonna make a poll out of it as soon as i've finished the small vessels that concern FS2.

[Flaser]

I checked out the Shivans - I was wondering if a longer "warmup-wearoff"/"heart-beating" pattern is possible with the glowmaps, so the glows would completely go off for a milisecond or so.

BTW they are excelent as they are, but I thought this "heart-beat" could bring them to "life" even more.

[Lightspeed]

Try a mission that makes use of the 'disable glowmaps' FRED feature with them
