direct him here!

I find him in a french forum. But he isn't an ATI dev but just a simple dev who made alternate driver like the omega.

Yeah, way better. I hope you like it too.


Some ships may really gain a more realistic look with these 'special' shinemaps.


I'll test this on some shivan ships.

But you used my compressed shine map for your map. I could have sent you the uncompressed one. This could make a little quality difference.

So if you do it again, please get rid of that stone-like texture. It looks just weird.

IMHO the round glows looked better. Not important though.
And the missiles look flat.

I didn't use that much of your map - I kinda tweaked mine to a large part.

As for the "stone" thingy, it is/was erased pretty much everywhere except for non-UVed parts anyway, so it wasn't really on the ship

It's actually just there for two small parts of the texture.

[DaBrain]

Oh ok, my bad.
Forget what I said about the stone stuff.

And BTW what do you think about the bumpy shine maps?

[Overlord]

Maybe this is the problem with the missing shinemaps,
it is from another forum:

I've heard that ATI's shader compiler is more strict than NVIDIA's in that it disallows implicit casts from int to float. For example, you need to write 1.0 instead of 1, unless you're actually dealing with integers.

I could be wrong, though.

...but we're not compiling pixel shaders here, are we?

I was under the impression that this was multipass specular...

*waits expectantly to see what Lightspeed has in store for us this Friday*

[Lightspeed]

A late build.

Probably this evening or tomorrow.

[Lightspeed]

Well, well. New build is uploading right now.

Not that much new stuff this week (still busy installing everything on my new harddrive), but, the magical 1000 files has been hit and there's more than a thousand files in the zip now

[Singh]

you, my dear sir, have done that Hecate justice, or at least, as much as its gonna see in the low-poly version.

And hte Colossus - brilliant. Now if it were only HTL'ed, it would make it just plain ub3r!

[Overlord]

How long does your upload need!?
I want to download this thing but it can't be found.

[Lightspeed]

It's up.

Some of the textures will probably be tweaked a bit, since i'm not entirely happy with all of them.

[Overlord]

Great work!
The Colossus looks much better now!

[DaBrain]

The Orion is not included?

I wouldn't install them under any circumstances. The recommended version is by no means a low-res thingy. Low-spec systems should go with the still-frame glowmaps supplied in the main build.

löl^^
its so great looking .... so .. who cares about fps?


the only problem with the high res shinemaps was a high-res fenris ... 2 of them and system will be dead ... but with the normal modells there is mainly no speed problem


btw: whats the problem with the hoster?
again this site was nearly for 2 weeks down?


first ... i have to try the newest build .. been a while since i updated it

Stupid me checked my emails a bit too late.

Speaking of, are you working on the rest of its textures as well?

[DaBrain]

Is there somoething missing? (except the nameplate.)

[Lightspeed]
