Because some other project depend on the release of the 3.6.9 VP´s I want to know, when it´s finished (I thought it was announced for the beginning of 2007).

[aRaven]

i assume when it's done!

but i am also eagerly awaiting the damn 3.6.9 mvps...can't wait for the muzzleflashes and stuff! 

[takashi]

im hoping thrashmans mid-range orion gets in there instead of the poly-wasting 3.6.8 one. you cant even see a difference exept the framerate drop.

Taka, what are your system specs?  You can use CPU-Z to find out if you're not sure of some of them.  (D'l link on top left of that page.)  I'm wondering why Orions are such a problem for you.

How about no? The Orion won't be replaced with a lower-poly version. If people don't like it, they can always download something else.

And what the hell do you mean by polygon "wasting"?

And I'm eagerly awaiting 3.6.9 MVPs.

More polygons to the people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and takashi buy yourself a used Geforce 6000 series card or something that way you can play with relativly good graphics.....

I have a GeForce FX 5500, and MVPs run without problems (except for mv_adveffects, obviously).

[diceman111]

I had an old Geforce 6600GT on my old comp could run Freespace with almost everything turned on with a decent frame rate (had an old P4 processor on that one so that kinda limited it a bit I think)

I'm sorry, I'm working on the VPs. There have been some test versions already, but they had quite a few bugs.

Fixing this problems became pretty complicated. Texture names are important to the new management. I had to rename a lot of texturenames in the POFs. Plus not all textures look the same for the lower lods.

So I got to check a lot of things to apply one texture to one ship. And it's hard to keep the overview, so I prefer working through the bug list in one pass, to avoid making new ones.

I simply didn't have the time to do that, so I picked up smaller tasks to work on.
Don't worry, I will complete it.

Hey cool, the Loki might be done in time to get in after all.

[takashi]

you guys realize most people who gotn open have crappy systems, right?

i like the low-poly loki. the shiny opaque cockpit adds a "stealth-recon" look to it. -see tech description-

[Unknown Target]

Shut up takashi! Shut up about your goddamn computer! Just shut up shut up shut up! Please for the love of god! We're not going to downgrade everything just so YOU can play! Other people who have low end systems at least have the sense to turn down the details! Why can't you and just please shut up about your stupid system!

Cant you just use an older build then or something I upgraded my computer so I could use all the features (ok not for FS2 I admit but so that I could run max graphics in Supreme commander and C&C 3 at 1280x1024 :-) )

[jr2]

Hmph.  Slobber on this, takashi. 

[takashi]

a 64mb card!? i have a 32!

[diceman111]

a 64mb card!? i have a 32!

Honestly how old are your computer????????

(just wondering)

[takashi]

as old as freespace 2 retail.

[jr2]

Build yourself a new one... You can usually make a half-decent one for prolly $400-$800.  You already have keyboard, mouse, monitor, and speakers... just need what's in the box.

[brandx0]

Damn I wish we could ban that guy... *sigh*

[takashi]

you mean jordan pelovitz, aka the guy who demeans people who live in a closed world gfx-card wise?

please do.
