LS: Have you tried randomly-shifting-glow glowmaps, or ones that ripple yet? The current glow pulsing just seems too unsubtle to me, sort of like a flashing "HERE I AM! SHOOT ME!" - and the same goes for the Pegasus.

Hey, could we please, please try to leave this thread less of a "YEAH 5 GOLDEN URINALS" -spamfest than the last shinemap release thread, so, as Kal said, "I don't have to wade through 8 pages of spam just to find actual content"? I mean... you know. Whatever. Kinda.

It's not like shivans care. Just have a look at the FS2 ending parts.

It would have to be synched with the power drain of the ship to be precise, but that's beyond the SCPs current capabilties. (i.e. shivan fires its lasers = pulses)

Deathstorm V2 · **Reply #25 on:** June 04, 2004, 06:28:53 am

Amazing.

I've had a though about this kind of thing - is it possible to set the glowmaps so that when the ship reaches critical damage they get kind of random? (longer/shorter pulses different intervals)

That way it would really look like the ship's in trouble, power systems surging, etc.

Probably not feasable, but woth a try.

Lightspeed · **Reply #26 on:** June 04, 2004, 06:36:59 am

You could fake it with texture replacement SEXPing, I think. Not sure, though.

Deathstorm V2 · **Reply #27 on:** June 04, 2004, 07:23:03 am

Yeah, I guess. Glowmap .anis that are either longer or shorter, and use variables to apply them.

But wouldn't that murder framerates?

StratComm · **Reply #28 on:** June 04, 2004, 11:49:53 am

yes. It would. I'd like to see glowmaps start flickering on and off as a ship goes critical, but what what you're suggesting would almost have to be done in a texture-specific way, which is too much trouble for too little gain IMHO.

ShadowDrakken · **Reply #29 on:** June 04, 2004, 12:13:40 pm

well, couldn't you use various different anis and just swap them out based on the level of damage? you could delay the switch a second or two so not to waste processing on a ship that's about to be blown up, but it would allow the more manueverable ships to have the changing anis depending on their status, and the anis can just have different flicker rates

Wow. Ok. Just played with them in game, and it looks like the Raks is breathing... evil.

jdjtcagle · **Reply #31 on:** June 04, 2004, 12:36:22 pm

That's what I like... Shivans flowing with the blood of the thousand they have killed

*forcibly tears eyes away from Terran thrusters*

Dude, Turnsky totally said it. I'd still love you to rework those glowmaps to make them more subtle (ie. less canon), but it's fantastic stuff already.

Lightspeed · **Reply #33 on:** June 09, 2004, 07:32:28 pm

Meep meep.

Rictor: This one, maybe?

WMCoolmon · **Reply #37 on:** June 09, 2004, 08:02:05 pm

Omg.

That last picture looks like it was bumpmapped.

He made the Aeolus look good.

HOW?????

Very nice work.

****... a map like that could just possibly make the Orion look not horrible o_O
