HOLY ****!!

Masturbation is obsolete.

Christ, that **** is sexy.

And look at the V-Ram usage.

It's not even using half of my gfx memory.


So... I think it's time for public test release in the next few days.

I soiled myself. Again.

[Cobra]

God dammit, DaBrain, stop holding out on us!

[DaBrain]

I want to add so much more.... but I even had to remove a "feature", that didn't work very well.

Maybe I can find a way to get it to work for the real final release.

Did you put Normal Maps for the Orion ? It looks pretty good.

I hate those exlosions. You should use BtRL or TBP ones instead of those. Or make new ones.

[Snail]

I don't like those explosions either. I'd like to see some explosions like that, but with the quality of the flak explosion.

I love those light lines streaking out of the center of that last explosion, DaBrain! Is that something you added on your working build?

That's the bloom affect of the 3d shockwaves. That bloom affect is present in the medium quality, high quality, and very high quality 3d shockwaves. It's one reason i've never understood why people just love the low end ones, the low end 3d shockwaves look like crap, and as long as you have the medium quality ones you get shockwaves that look like the very high quality ones that run fine on most hardware.

What's the correct procedure for running the medium quality ones as opposed to the low?

[S-99]

First get a hold of the medium quality ones wherever they're still downloadable (Dabrain knows...try searching the fsu forum first though). After that i think they're in the mv_adveffects.vp, but i don't remember. The really cool shockwave downloads were dabs first finished release of them (those also included miniature shockwaves for when bombers blew up...that was really cool and wished it would have stayed).

[DaBrain]

Well, now that the new VPs are out, I want to see some nice screenshots. 

[S-99]

I'll tackle some screenshots when i can. Currently downloading the vp betas and am going to have to use a windows build to test them (sidux user with no 3.6.10 linux build...i await the linux build more than the vp's actually ). Anyway i can't resist the prettiness that awaits.

[DaBrain]

Ok till then I'll post one.

[Snail]

Actually that thruster plume looks kind of ugly.

Here's two new shots taken from the new 3.6.10 MediaVPs:





I've seen this game looking good before but this new set of VPs is totally ridiculous.
