The thing I would most like to see is that whole repeat/chain problem understood and fixed; since it's a bug it will probably get high priority.

I asked for that, and they called me a massochist.

You're dreaming, even the latest games like doom3 won't do that.

Hes right only Halo 2 can do that and it's Bungies software so thats outa the question.

And no the other games don't do real self shadowing it's a trick to look like they do only Halo 2 has the real thing.

[phreak]

well the algorithm is out there, but its all a matter of programming it and making sure you have a good enough machine to test and run it.

[Turambar]

actually, JKA has volumetric shading as well, but it eats FPS like a mofo!

Anyway, it looks real enough. Why can't we try that fake technique, then?

[Starfighter]

The game can't do it we would have to rewright the hole game engene to do the Geo moding, or even fake it right.

Starfighter, please read the comic in my above post

I did funny:lol:

[Turambar]

i want to see dynamic glow (i suppose its like overexposure and light blooming) and i want something to make the engine effects not overlap and clip with the hull and i want vasudan ships to not reflect on the clay-looking parts

[list=1]

• Fixed thruster/hull intersection bug (priority #1 IMHO)
• Volumetric nebulae
• Better damage and 'fire' effect support ('specially on badly hurt capships)

I know. The whole thing about geo modding a joke that's been around since the SCP's inception

What is a self shadowing model?

[Nico]

a model that casts shadows on itself, say, you have  the deathstar, with that tower thinguy where the emperor hangs around. If you put that in FS2, you'll get the basic shading, but you'll never see the actual shadow of the tower projected on the deathstar. with self shadowing, you'd have the shadow. But that's highly complicated. We don't even have projected shadows ( you can see the shadow of your ship projected on the ship next to it - if positioned so you should see it, of course ), which are probably easier to do ( shadowmap system, for exemple ), in Freespace, so that...

[Flipside]

I think someone mentioned a projected shadow system before? It would at least mean that ships cast shadows on bigger ships etc. Self shadowing is available in X2 as well, but, as with all Self Shadow systems, eats CPU like a good 'un.

using .avis for lasers and missiles.

[Lightspeed]

I would be happy with ANIs right now, as even ANIs dont work properly as laser, trail or beam graphics.

[jdjtcagle]

New star background render!!!

[Flipside]

Even a User Defineable laser/beam POF might be handy

Edit : LS iirc I think the ANI's work if you make sure that all textures are animated, if you have a non-animated texture with an animated glow it won't work, or vice-versa or something

Edit : Forget that, I remember, I ended up using a missile to get that effect
