Now this last one is interesting. Not only does the shader look great, but the complex trans materials DONT clip with each other. How you ask? Dont ask. Thats how. :tfti:

my grass 3do's use 5 LOD's, and 2 mipmaps, and they allign perfectly with the shadows of the surface, and they dont clip much.

However, unless you have a 3d card over 32 megs, the grass complexity will slow down the game very badly, for me it gets to 10 fps.

Luckily, i changed the easy/medium/hard setting into Low spec/Normal/Max spec.

Grass doesnt even show in Lowspec.

Code:

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

That's some seriously fantastic looking stuff, Ruth. Beyond the usual "zomg awesome," it's truly fantastic stuff for the medium.

I thought JK was capable of mega-large textures these days... well, I guess the old engine makes even those look old.

Anyhow, still looking neat even though I'm somewhat bored of seeing that outdoors map all over again. Is it all you got?

That map is teh one i'm working on most. All of the decorr and weapons and effects, is what i'm adding to this level, and all of taht stuff will be resued through out the other levels. Ie. Weapon racks, weapon models, jaffa, soldiers, trees etc. Once i've done this 1st outdoor level, the foundation for the rest of the levels is set, and building becomes faster.

I've also completed 3 of the 4 or 5 cheyenne mountain levels.

Code:

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

I move that Ruthven be forced to post a new thread here at least once a week with new shots of new material.

Any second?

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Ahhh... SavageX had something like that for FRMOD (abillities, that is)... it kicked arse. He removed it because there were balance issues or something (or something was buggy). Which annoyed me because it was still awesome and would have been worth the effort to save.

wall texture. given the light angle and the dimensions of the decorr objects with the angle of the wall, its very hard to get it just right.

My perfectionist nature can only go so far. I'm gonna leave it as it is. :p

Code:

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{

Ruthven: Is the attribute/skill screenshot an ingame menu of some sort? How did you go about creating this and implementing if so? I've been wanting to make some in game menus for my ST levels, but am stumped on how to do so.

It's the force power screen with a different BM.

Force powers are controlled entirely by COGs, with the exception of the prev force power, next force power, and use force power keys (plus the force power hotkeys).

However it is easy enough to remove prev/next/use hotkeys and then you are left with powers which only change bin variables... then your kyle.cog or whatever can check for these bins to determine which attributes or skills you selected.

Also you can keep some of the force power hotkeys for powers which need to be toggled or to change the way the attribute works or something.

Is it now possible to have 16 bit BMs in JK or MotS? Ruthven's shot hardly looks like it's only 256 colors.

No, its 256 colours. 16 bit BM's are only allowed in gameplay HUD.

PSP function.
16 bit image

Sharpen image>add 4% noise.>reduce to 256 colours

optimised median cut > Nearest colour.

That allows for the greatest quality in 256 :hist101:

And Zeet, we're talking only menu BM force powers, which are preset in JK exe, not controlled by cog in the menus.

Code:

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
