Re: A celebration of Freespace
That Sobek is screenshotted in "Exodus". What I have noticed when trying to screenshot the main FS2 campaign with all the most recent shadow and per pixel lighting Valathil builds is that the "canon" ambient lighting completely ruins the look and feel of the game. I *urge* for the next MediaVPs release to drop every non-nebula mission ambient lighting to something like less than 20 for each color (that shot above was taken with 10,10,20 - to counter the yellow sun with a little bluish ambient -  IIRC)


e: My memories were making the problem worse than in actual reality. But still, here's a comparison:

With canon background ambient lighting:



With zero lighting:

Re: A celebration of Freespace
Both look fine IMO.
Also you can disable ambient lighting with launcher based settings.

Re: A celebration of Freespace
Yeah. That's why I play with ambient light off, it really brings out lighting from weapons.

Re: A celebration of Freespace
I like seeing what I'm shooting, so I'm fine with the default. :p

I had thought of that one, but that setting will disable ambient lighting in nebula missions, which isn't good at all: nebula missions with suns should have very high ambient lighting.

Re: A celebration of Freespace
So I decided to give my new graphics card a nice little test run on Freespace 2. Long story short, it runs smoothly and I get to enjoy all of Freespace 2's beautiful effects with no penalty! I took a screenshot of this nice little destroyer. Enjoy!
