Oh yeah: Can you people please just keep on posting screenies? The more screenies we have to show people, the better. If you don't have the webspace, PM me for my email.

EDIT:
Quick, Bobb, what are the winning numbers?!

I can't get it to work... where do I install those files? I have the build, but... it's not cartoony; it's just the regular model, but darker and with sections of even darker-ness. Help?

[StratComm]

That's what I'd expect.  You need special art to make it look cell-shaded.

[Ghost]

Well... okay. So I have the Myrm-cell.zip.. where do I extract the file?

[Ransom]

In data/maps.

[kasperl]

Ok, I made some screenies of the truster effect, it looks wierd.

I'm posting low res JPG ones, with quite a bit of compressions. They link to full res, low compresion png ones. bmp available on request.

Okay, it's still not working.. that's where I had it in the first place. Is it a problem with my video card? I have an ATI Radeon 9600...

[kasperl]

If you look at my screenies, that's what you get with the build bob posted, the -cell commandline in the launcher, and those maps in the wrong dir. I'll post some screenies with the right data in a minute.

[kasperl]

Mmm, odd.
This commandline:
C:\Freespace\FSO_cell_05-03-28.exe -spec -glow -pcx32 -jpgtga -d3dmipmap -2d_poof -cell -ship_choice_3d -targetinfo -env -alpha_env -fps -show_mem_usage  -allslev -fov 0.39 -mod cell

Gives me full brightness ships.



C:\Freespace\FSO_cell_05-03-28.exe -spec -glow -pcx32 -jpgtga -d3dmipmap -2d_poof -cell -ship_choice_3d -targetinfo -env -alpha_env -fps -show_mem_usage  -allslev -fov 0.39

Gives me what you see in the pictures in my other post.


The only difference is the mod line, and the only thing in the mod dir is the file dabrain made. (/cell/data/maps)

EDIT:

If you look at the loading screen, the bar with the lights as a slightly idifferent tinge as the rest of the screen. I can't take a screenie from the loading screen, it'll come out pitch black.

@kasperl

You'll have to remove the MV packs. In the zip are *.pcx files which won't be used if a *.tga or *.dds map is availble.
Unchecking -jpgtga won't help, as it will still use *.dds files.

Check your data/maps/ folder for other Myrmidon map too.

[Ghost]

Okay, what the ****? Cel shading won't work ingame for me, but it will in modelview, assuming the textures are there? What kind of sense does that make? A little help here?

[karajorma]

As DaBrain said. PCX textures are lower priority than TGA ones. The game loads in the TGA ones from the media.vp files and completely ignores the special -cell ones.

Modelview on the other hand doesn't read TGA textures at all so it does read the new textures in.

[Ghost]

So, I've got to convert the pcx files to tga? I think I can do that... Thanks.. wish I'd seen it when DB said it.

[Grug]

Wow guys, this is getting cool.

With the full brightness thing, I had similar issues, is that the -mod commandline thats screwing it up?

[Ghost]

Gah! Yeah, I'm getting full brightness problems, too... only with a twist. Everything is all bright and stuff, and the two cel-shaded things I have installed(Myrm and Sobek) are invisible. All you can see of the Sobek are parts that aren't cel-textured. A little more help, please? I tried removing MV packs, too... still nothin.

[Grug]

Hmm, I've had full brightness problems on only my fighters for a while now. I thought it was something I did to the pof's at first, but I'm start to think that it might be a SCP bug.

[DaBrain]

Gooo Cell Deimos!!!

[DaBrain]

I'm working on new thusters.
How do you like them?

[Woolie Wool]

No. Most anime have smooth glow effects like those in FS2. They don't draw laser blasts and engine glows.

[Ghost]

*cries* I can't get it to work... ordinarily I'd be like 'whatever, it's a useless feature anyway,' but... it's so ****ing irritating that I can't get it to work. Dammit!

C:\Games\FreeSpace2\fs2_open_r.exe -spec -glow -pcx32 -jpgtga -d3dmipmap -nomotiondebris -2d_poof -cell -nobeampierce -ship_choice_3d -targetinfo -snd_preload

cellmap.tga, sobek maps(all tga), deimos maps(all tga), and myrm map(tga) all in FS2/data/maps directory.


MV's: models, textures, core, effects, and adveffects.

Bugs: super brightness on all ships(like there was a gajillion suns directly shining on every polygon), and the Myrm, Sobek, and Deimos are invisible in tech room.

PLEASE HELP!


Edit: just saw your post, DB... every single MV? Including core?

And I didn't just rename the files to tga; I converted them in Irfanview.
