New tech room cubemap!
on: June 29, 2007, 08:07:08 pm
A few minutes in Glitterato resulted in a new techroom cubemap. I daresay it's a huge improvement over the old one.




A chrome ship really brings it out:

You're using the old Callisto maps in that picture. FreeSpaceKing released touched up maps for it.

Looks cool.  What exactly was done, though?  Were they touched up in a 3D editor?

I generated a 512x3072 nebula/stars image in Glitterato and saved it as a cubemap.

Freespaceking made the mistake of using Rapid****, so they've all been deleted now. :mad:

Tell him to re-up the files...?  If he doesn't want to find a good host, I'll up them for him... :nod:

I know Rapidshare's policies, but it's extremely annoying when people release things on Rapidshare because they'll all be gone within a couple of months.

So, how do I get Freespaceking to send me the files, so I can re-up them elsewheres?  Is Freespaceking his HLP username?

On a side note, it would also work on the Ursa and any other ships using Ursa maps. :)

Hey, that's actually pretty good, but I'm wondering if someone already hasn't done that for the 3.6.10 vps. :nervous:

IIRC the default cubemap is only used once. After the very first mission run, an own cubemap based on that mission background is used. So a pretty cubemap.dds is nearly useless...

(Could any coder confirm or deny it?)
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH FS2:
  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.
    (Lobo deserves a monument).
  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:
  • If you think that you've discovered a bug, mantis it.
    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.

I almost never look at the techroom after I've already played a  mission.
