Re: Best Screenshots Ever!
i wonder why they just made it a trail? was the beam version too low res, and if they implemented higher-res beam effects everyones computers would slow down (this is the era of voodoo cards, remember?)

The beam code wasn't done yet. It's a FS1 artifact.

Re: Best Screenshots Ever!
Press the "Print Screen" or "Prt Scn" or "Sys Rq" button whenever you have a likely shot, see what happens.  Check for the screenshots in your screenshots dir.  It won't crash I don't believe, prolly just hang for a sec.

It's not dumb. It's pretty cool. Watch how I dissect that name:

In the cutscenes, Bosch's name is sometimes shown as "Aken H. Bosch." I have theorized, based on this, that Bosch's full name (and title) is:

Admiral Aken Hieronymus Bosch. Hieronymus Bosch was some whackjob who painted people having trumpets being shoved up their asses and stuff (apparently symbolizing sin and moral failings).

Just one thing: use the skybox!

I know how to use skybox, but where can I get a good one, and where do I put it?

If you don't know where to put it, how do you know how to use it?

Don't forget Bobboau's Milky Way sxybox, which is simply fantastic. You should be able to find a thread about it. :)

The one in A3? It's not that good. There's some polar distortion and the textures don't tile properly at places. But it's pretty.

Eh?  IrfanView, convert to JPEG, 40 quality, resize to 1024x768... size should not exceed 300K, which at 3 KB/sec u/l, would mean 100 seconds.  :p
