KreKol Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 Looks like a French Tickler to me. I love the design of the Station. Does not look like the standard station you see in games. I really like the ship. The detail on it just makes it stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epsilon 5 Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 As I said on VE Looks good, the contrail effects are a little cheap on the warmonger, though. Btw, do you need to come by the "inside" to go in the gate? And can you collide with it this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xierxior Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Picture 71 reminds me of a star destroyer, for some odd reason maybe it's because the captains compartment sits so high. I bet the contrail would look better if it converd the entire rear where the engine is, some-what like how the engine fx is in freespace2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more particles, the more processing required. The more processing required, the larger the FPS drop The higher the FPS drop, the more choppy the gameplay. The more choppy the gameplay....well, go from there. Also, the bitmap contrails are larger than the particle contrails - so thats not a problem. I will upload a shot later of the bitmap contrail in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I make a suggestion? I believe particle contrails could look better with the bitmap glow added, and it shouldn't require a notable amount of cpu power.

Guest rtoolooze Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 I like the partical contrails. I think the one thing that would make them better would be if while you were turning, they would'nt stay in a straight line behind the ship. You know, they would be curved, showing where the ship was. I think you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There IS a reason I ignore your posts. And that reason is that 99% of the time, you don't have a clue what you're talking about and the other 1% you spend on criticsim and nonsensical posts. To wit: You don't add glow to particles. There is no such thing. So, unless you know what you're talking about, don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
