Supreme Cmdr Posted June 13, 2000 Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 You may already be dead! Make sure you back up at least 6" from the monitor. Put all sharp or blunt objects at a safe distance. Move the soda can away from the keyboard. Close the door. Then click on this: www.3000ad.com/shots/bcmshots6.shtml For more info, check GNNThey're still prelim (still got some cleaning up to do etc). First we had stellar and unmatched gameplay and replay value. Now we've got kick-ass graphics to go with even more advanced gameplay. We're on the home stretch, and the countdown to the official Beta release, begins.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted June 13, 2000 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 They're still prelim. I case you didn't notice, I still haven't decided which font to use yet, so I'm too lazy to change it. It works and it ain't broke. And after trashing no less than 5 different interface graphics and took two artist off the interface detail, I'm going to be doing the interface graphics myself (some of you may know that before I even started programming, I was a full fledged artist/modeler, all the way back when I was doing this all myself) during the last legs. It'll be killer.And yes, those nebula bitmaps are the awesome work of Mark (the newbie on the block ). Still haven't settled on a common theme yet. eg, he has stars in them, but the engine is also rendering dynamic stars (like in BC3K), so, I may have him remove the stars from all 25 nebula themes.I'm putting in the new marines today (as well as putting in the tags for the specialFX contrails and engine bursts) and will be doing some more surface romping. Expect some shots soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted June 13, 2000 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 LOL!, you guys are something else. Those shots are PRELIMINARY. Wait until the vertex lighting, lightmaps, mipmapping, trails and multi-light source etc, are all enabled. We'll be passing around body bags. btw, Andergum, I had to trim the lines on your post because you forgot to hit the return key on each line. I guess you must have passed out already.

Chris Blair Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 Hey SC, Blades and all. Blades, you do have a point about having a "sight seeing" caste. for 1, Your going to need him beacuse you WON'T catch up with me or any other Insurgent for that matter. And for 2, I won't be running YOU will be when youfind that THIS Insurgent won't run unless I don't have any chance at all. Don't worry Blades< I can back it up. I'm shure you can shoot at somting . SC, just a question but you said that Earth and the Moon would be in the same space region but I didn't see it in any of those screenshot's. Is there a limit to seeing different bodies in the same area? Anyway GREAT shot's and I'm not goint to bore ya with prase but I DO LOVE those shot's just like everyone else and still eggerly waiting to kill every Galcommie !!!------------------ Cmdr.

Is there a limit to seeing different bodies in the same area?I decided not to mess with perfection and re-arranged the galaxy makeup Also, if I put more that one planet in a region that is heavily populated, it could be a processing nightmare for folks on regular multiplayer 56K modems connections. So, its best to leave them as they are. In fact, I'm going to be revising the galaxy for multi-player only, so that there is only 1 planet in a region. I think regions like Jupiter, etc, have more than one. Think of these as multi-player maps. Though it'll be the same universe, in MP, it will remain as it is now (BC3K v2.0x) but in BCM mp, they will be further segmented. So, there won't be more than 1 or 2 planetary bodies, per region.
