I'm a Trekkie/Star Wars fan, not B5, even though the 2 episodes I've seen were fairly good.  I made that assumption from the shiel icon in the HUD. Wasn't thinking that it might be a completely different ship w/o the shield icon change. Sorry. And I'd recognize any Enterprise except perhaps the C.

Max i saw the pictures of your atmosphere and they dont seem to alter the visibility depth.....tell me now if they do !

I have thought of a way to simulate my effect anyway although implementation has not been done.  I'll keep ya posted on this as i make it



------------------

[CptWhite]

Well these are just alpha shots - blending between atmosphere and planet edge is going to be done as well as some clouds possibly painted on the sky - they may look too pixelly i need to test this - but anyway i can simulate an in-atmosphere environment now with a good visiblity.

That is simply superb - stunning work  

[morris13]

um... damn... that looks freakin amazing. I can't wait to see it in a campaign =)

Very impressive! Now what I want to know is- how? Are you still in Nebula, or are you trying something else?

That was my thought at first too- but then why can you see the sun? FS2 has no translucent textures except in nebulas.

Big blue backdrop?

[CptWhite]

Yes after all my farting about i justed used a big blue nebula ! It just slipped my mind before    Ok started work on version 2 now - you'll see the results soon on this thread

Maybe if you put black areas in it, all the black areas shouls be perfect transparency[/B]

Confirms that idea: the darker the colour, the ùore transparent the map is (as -Bobboau I think- make me noticed when talking about explosion and shockwave anis).

There is some texture error (its a D3D thing)  that i cant do about without i lot of work (which i dont want to do) so you will just have to lump it ! I aint THAT bad.....

Ok everyone can have a fly around now

Its fairly memory intensive

If you want my backgrounds you will need these: NOTE: it completely replaces the normal backgrounds

 http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/babylon/mod/skullar%20cptwhite/Effects_V2.2.zip

For the star fury you will need to wait for the demo (officially) anyway have fun - i included a setup mission for you to fly about in - i took the pictures with the mission.  You need to setup your own tbl as i havent done this -  i just used the sathanas tbl entry for this pics.

Dude! that moon looks real!

[aldo_14]

Wow  

[Nico]

that's trully awesome, doesn't look like it's FS2 anymore! Btw, when I'll have some time, I just decided that I MAY make a new lod for the actual FS ships (LOD-1 we could call it), for the big PC of course (I plan to have the fighter use up to 800 poly, plus 512*512 maps)

How the hell did you do that????
I used an inverted sphere, things can see in but you can't see out, that's how it works, but this is sick!!!! twenty thumbs up!!
