Pause is over. Need a little review what to install.
Hello guys.
I decided that my pause from FSO and modeling  is over.
i have a couple of questions for you.

I installed FS2 and update to version 1.2 CHECKED
Downloaded FSO 3.6.14 release candidate 8 CHECKED
Downloaded media vps for 3.6.12. CHECKED
Downloaded launcher version 5.5g. CHECKED
installed truespace 6.6 and 3d studio max 2012 CHECKED

Now my questions:
1/ I saw some sun shafts thing? where can I download it and test it?
2/ I saw some post procesing lighs? Where can I download and tetst them?
3/ I saw some nice nebula things? Where can I download them?
4/ PCS 2.0 latest version link pls?
thank you for your answers.


Now I have to remeber where I put my WIP stargate models hmm...

 
Re: Pause is over. Need a little review what to install.
Have a look at the post processing table on the wiki. To be able to lightshafts however, you'll need to compile your own build from trunk (see here for more info). I can't remember where all the pretty nebula stuff could be though, I'd suggest searching either the modding or SCP subforums.

I think the latest PCS2 should be available on the freespace tools subforum. Try this thread-> http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=77292.0

Be advised that, as far as I remember, even with a build that supports lightshaft, you still have to trigger a mission-specific setting to get lightshafts.

Or set them to always on in the table.

On that note, I know it's kinda off-topic, but I noticed that once you turn lightshafts on using the set-post-icantremembertheexactsyntax SEXP, it stays on until you exit FSO or change it again using the same SEXP. Is that a bug or intended behaviour?

Probably a bug. Go Mantis.

Re: Pause is over. Need a little review what to install.
While you're at it, give wxLauncher a try.  It's currently very usable, and if you find a bug, well, report it, and there's nothing that stops you from using both wxLauncher and also 5.5g as a backup.

Install wxLauncher to its own directory.   Link should be in my sig.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, after wxLauncher is 100% current and stable (almost there i think), I do believe that's where we will be going, as wxLauncher is cross-platform and 5.5x is not.

Thx guys for the replies.

So I will try wxLauncher. 

And I will look at those sun shafts and post processing.
