That was... *gulp* amazing, man.

Yes, that effect looks so much better live.  However, the fact that it looks like two parallel planar shockwaves was kind of a put-off.  Do you think there's a way to fix that?

[DaBrain]

I've two choices:

1. A single planar shockwave. All torpedo shockwaves will hit the player directly and look very flat.

2. A single shockwave with volume. It won't have any glow effect, but hard edges. If you get hit by it directly you'll see the inner part of if.


I think both choices are worse than the current state.

[Cobra]

heh, well, from the looks of it, i gues double shockwaves are a-ok then.

anyway, i took a look at the DDS files in order, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them, other than the fact that it looks like there's something missing. is the EFF the animation?

Hi, now that taylors 0807 Build comes to the community (see it on babylon 5 ) you should really release the (i call it) full frame version of the shockwave. I can´t wait to see it (live) in action.

[Fenrir]

Link's here if you want it:
http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/willrobinson/20050806-win32r.rar

I don't have a clue why this hasn't been posted in the Recent Builds forum. As such, I don't know exactly what changes have been made, but the build is lightning fast and has only crashed on me once so far.

... I've posted this in the TBP forum, because the 3.3 release needs this feature. I wanted the TBP staff to test it.

Well, somehow (Mr. Fury... ) the link found it's way out of the internal.

taylor told me there is no support from his side for this build.

I'll try complete a full scale release for PCs with differnt specs tomorrow. (It's 2:39 PM here right now.) Maybe in 10-15 hours.
But there is something important in my RL tomorrow, that might interfere.

[Cobra]

hey, DaB, can you check to see if anything's missing from the release rar?

[Fenrir]

Well, if we're not supposed to use it, I'll readily stop.

I don't have a problem if you use it.  If I did I wouldn't have put it in a public directory.  I just don't have any time to support it so I didn't post it as a recent build.  If you have problems with it then the chances that I'll care are pretty much zero.  I'll probably make a note of any reported issues but I probably won't acknowledge them (unless it's OGL or shockwave related).  Everything in that build is in CVS now so the next recent build will have all of the same stuff in it.

[Fenrir]

Oh, that's good, because I instantly regretted it when I said I'd stop using it. It the most stable and speedy one I've used.

i got this error in the debug build.

on a side note, the shockwaves kinda worked, but they were really small and i saw them for like a split second.

I fixed that one in my build.  Whenever Goober releases a new build it will be fixed there too.

[Cobra]

IT WORKS! the shockwaves work with your build! a little choppy, but still amazing.

i think that the shockwaves should be slowed down a little. how about a nice, slow, dramatic shockwave? or maybe the kind of shockwave out of SW: ANH...

hmm... methinks i should play FS2 main again...

[DaBrain]

I still have to fix the mapping...

Well, but I've no idea how to fix it.



The symetry modifier caused this...

[Lynx]

Agreed, it looks kind of odd to have two shockwaves sitting ontop of each other.

[Psychonaut]

Hi, any progresses?

I´m just interrested (and can´t wait any longer )

[Cobra]

me neither. can't wait until this thing is improved.

Yeah, almost done. Most ships have perfect shockwave values now.

I was just trying something else, but it didn't work.

[EtherShock]

I personally prefer a blue shockwave (which I'm enjoying currently) but whatever you decide Brain, it'll be great! What you have already is.
