That's a F***ing awesome scale shot. First thing you see id the hecate, then your eye is drawn to the Levi, and then, when you look harder, you notice the tiny, tiny little fighters. And then you realize. This stuff's big.

What kind of slowdowns are we looking at here? Or, is there no real difference in FPS drop as there would be if you have everything else enabled? :confused:

BTW I looked over the entire thread and this thing looks beautiful. :nod: :yes:

Who wanted a sense of scale?
Ignore the crappy framerates and the horribly looking environment mapping. :p

Is anyone else noticing the funky swirly colors in the shadows where there normally would be a shine? (Is this fixed in the 3rd build) Can we make it so shine is not applied to shadowed areas? (This should fix that problem) Oh and does the third build include Taylors memory leak fix?

In 16-bit colour Stenciled Shadows will likely cause massive slowdowns as usually the drivers will fall back to some CPU-heavy software calculations, but in 32-bit colour mode almost every modern card does the stencil stuff in hardware so almost no slowdown should be experienced :)

This is an awesome addon... so pretty... ooooo.....

Im running a Radeon 9600 XT and when playing mission 1, if I even so muched as glanced at the incoming Herc fighters (Only 2 of them) I would recieve a largely noticeable drop in Framerates. We are talking from 60 to 40 in a matter of seconds. :mad:

I have the same card. A 256 Mb version. I get slowdowns from looking at the Fenris.. And the really uber high res maps on some of the shivan ships (with pulsing glowmaps) So something must be up with your setup, Tin Can.

You're not using -pcx32 are you? If you are, shut it down!

Let me turn it off and see what happens. What exactly does that effect do?

Very little.  The interface looks slightly better supposedly.  I find it makes the interface look a bit more blurry.

I find it makes everything laggy. It loads PCX's into 32 bit memory, but the PCX's aren't 32-bit themselves, so i see it as a waste.
