admiraltigerclaw Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 REACTOR HOUSING PENETRATED!!! AUTO-EJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE! REACTOR SHUTDOWN FAILED! "KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!" (I came across this oddity while playing... All the engine trails coming incorrectly from that LRT-10 actually look kind of cool. I think having those randomly pop up sporadicly right before a ship explodes would look cool.... I've been in continuous combat in the Treas region for an hour, and I've had a lot of weird engine trails in weird places... I think my computer just needs a reset.)

street228 Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I get those, when running long periods(my cheap 9200se grafix card, I thought). I do a save and reboot..(clearing any windows memmory leaks, I like to think) and it clears up for a while. reading your post, I KNOW your having as much a blast with uc, as I am.

admiraltigerclaw Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I could EASILY run the particle trails... but the jet-like images look cooler to me. I know you're in Texas... but where street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I'm glad your enjoying UC but SC is going to jump all over you if you don't put that pic in a link. and yes I get those too after playing for a long time. (over night mining usually) also I think there is a rule against makeing thread titles all caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admiraltigerclaw Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I guess I better fix it them, and build a SC shrine so he doesn't drop another stormcarrier on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admiraltigerclaw Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I'd like to thank commander Chavik for his expert forum engineering. And then I'd like to blame resnig for hiding that particular instruction set from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAh, to me it looks like the light from the reactor exploding is breaking through the hull and sending particle streams of into space... a moment later such a thing would explode in a violent flash... I've got a demo of freespace two somewhere... but I could imagine how nifty it would look if ship explosions were beefed up to make you almost FEEL them, even if you have a crappinated sound system. You know... little things. Once a bunch of little things are done... they add up. BURN LRT!!!! BURRRN!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 quote:Originally posted by ouch: and yes I get those too after playing for a long time. (over night mining usually) It is a driver issue and really doesn't have anything to do with how long you play. Sometimes the driver won't clear the view matrix so whatever was left in the buffer, is still there. This usually happens if you have been using the F10 camera to view remote objects that very far away or in a different region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiraltigerclaw Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 For instance, having the F10 view on a ship, and then it jumps regions? That makes sense for the second area I entered... Well, and the first now that I read the 'very far away'. YOu got any quick codes that clear out the buffer SC? ...Oh and, totally random, I'm reading my shuttle repairs on my other computer here... and just now... the Engineering Assignments. The completion time for one of the assignments had a (P) after the time. Nothing relates to it in the manual. And it didn't seem to effect anything but... what was that? Anyway... I reboot my computer... and I'm back to the grind... I just got my "Weak and poor" fighters ground into Hambugga' "to feed the RITCH!" And five intruders REALLY beat up on my marines... killed two.... after the first one died, I sent the whole ship's marine compliment to toastify them. They held themselves down in Weapons Pod 2 for fifteen minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kenny87 Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Speaking of effects, when entering planet fall is the shield flashing effect ment to play instead of the flames I saw in an earlier version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shield fx will play if your card has a pixel shader. If not, the fx from BCM Gold will play. I thought everyone knew this by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiraltigerclaw Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 We did? News to me. And from the looks of things... I don't have a pixel shader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Khaan Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Thats happened to me before expept it is usually when I OTS a base on a planet and the explsion effects hang around my carrier even though it is in orbit. TO get rid of it I usually jut save, exit + reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Admiral Tigerclaw: Is not rubbish. Is my card. Its rubbish. No card that combines ATI and nVidia chipsets, exist. Not only that, you've made it worse MSI ATI Radeon MS-StarForce Geforce4 MX 440 (NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440) I mean, what is that? If you don't fix it, I will delete your profile. And you need to enter your driver info as well. And while you're at it, three gig is not the correct processor speed. Try 3Ghz. Figuring out how to write the memory amount, is left for you as an excercise. With all the noise you consistently make on the board, one would think that you'd actually know what kind of rig you're running - especially the video card.
