BTW- has anyone seen Jadehawk lately?

Is he TotT texturer?

[BengalTiger]

Yup... And he's beginning to be MIA a bit longer than he wrote he'd be.

[shiv]

He's going to return eventually. We had an issue with one of ED members, who was MIA longer than he wrote. He returned a month later with explanation, that RL have been kicking his ass

[BengalTiger]

Well let's hope so, what he does with models is pretty awesome.

[shiv]

Yep. I love his GVF Shu reskin . ED and SA are already using it.

[Colonol Dekker]

How long til release?

[shiv]

According to what Bengal Tiger said, only ~33 missions are left to FRED.

Now look at the speed of making huge campaign and get approximate time yourself

j/k - no offence

[BengalTiger]

Uhhh....

6 missions done, some 40 to go...

6.something years I guess.

Unless we get moar FREDders (the whole story and mission descriptions are finished, all that's needed is some people to do them, and the members who can FRED are already busy with other stuff).

BTW- we'll be releasing in chapters, so there's some 5-10 missions to go and we'll release Chapter 1, so we might get that done this year.

[Jadehawk]

Miss me? 

Sorry I have not been around lately., But Real life issues leave me with little time to do my texturing as I have in the past. See the super secret forum for more.
However, that does not mean I wont stop, just means my time is now limited and wont get the projects done in a timely manner as before sadly.

[Retsof]

Hey, For some reason I never go to FSMods anymore, probly because the story has left me in the dust and I'm too lazy to catch up.  So if you need more effects just PM me here or hit me over the head with something to get my attention. 

[BengalTiger]

or hit me over the head with something to get my attention. 

No worries, I have one of these:



I'll use it as soon as I'll have something for you.

As for JH- thanks for showing up.

[BengalTiger]

As promised, the Destroyer Escort gets screenshots when it's nose is finished. And once I began pressing Prt Sc, I couldn't get myself to stop...
The capship is a T-MDe Iwakuni, my fighter is a T-MF Sipahi and the gunships are T-MGs Gendarmes.

Behold:

[Droid803]

Here, I'm, thinking it's in desparate need of better maps.
Shine maps mostly from the looks of it.

[BengalTiger]

Alright, what exactly should I fix? Making the shines darker doesn't really remove the 'glow' from the hull...

[Droid803]

Hm...It's not the shine maps then?
Maybe it's your ambient settings that I'm not use to then?
It's strange to see the hull reflect totally differently from the turret on it though... The turrets are fine, but the ship itself has some funky reflection issues :/

[BengalTiger]

Well then I'll just have to remake the shinemap or something...

[Droid803]

It might be lighting issues with the model (something went wrong during conversion) but that's...bad...and I don't know how to fix it.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Is it possible that the glowmaps aren't full black?

[Aardwolf]

Is it possible that the glowmaps aren't full black?

I've seen this as the cause for similar issues several times.

And it doesn't help that sometimes it won't even show up on certain screens.

[BengalTiger]

Glowmaps fixed (there was a 26, 26, 26 RGB glow in non glowing places):





And so FreeSpaceFreak gets a cookie.

Here.

BTW- Mission for Retsof: visit the super secret forum and view the effects thread plz.
