Baltic region HR tileset
Stary replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
also I converted 24bit bitmaps to 100%quality jpegs, as otherwise whole pack takes over 3 gigabytes of drive space, haven't noticed performance or texture quality issues after that -

so, I got bored today... F-105I A-105 Invader, designed after initial issues with F-105D (61) introduced in 1965 as low-level attacker operating deep behing enemy lines, specially for (Northern) ETO -

"SDK: Yes, User? user: SDK, generate me F-42 Twister SDK: wait, please... (thinks 3 seconds) It's available in you hangar, User. Let me add flight model will be adjusted during your first flight. Ohhh, User, I think I forgot two rivets on the left vertical stabilizer, let me fix that" Lol, kinda like those talking self-aware Apple 1 lookalike computers from teenage movies in the early 80s -

Question about fog and detailmeshsize
Stary replied to stuntman's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
yeah, it's a real bugger yet I guess few good days worth of coding to fix it -
Question about fog and detailmeshsize
Stary replied to stuntman's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
the negative values are as I suppose, well to start fog behing the camera so to speak, to make it densier at the viewpoint; think of a white-black gradient carpet for example, white being full fog -you start with pure black normally, getting more and more white as you look forward, but with negative values you move forward and find yourself somewhere in the grey zone in the middle of it. I couldn't make simplier and more lame explanation, forgive me -
Question about fog and detailmeshsize
Stary replied to stuntman's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
simple: very unperfect graphic engine that becomes dumb as brick when it comes to alpha-channel based objects rendering ontop of alpha-channel based objects with fog thrown in; secondly poor handling of the shadows in fog is a known issue too -
Question about fog and detailmeshsize
Stary replied to stuntman's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
6 is 6 meters, you'd need to set StartClear= to 6000.0 to match DetailMeshSize=6 also notice that overcast uses negative values for fog distance I've been trying this yesterday for Sweden tileset as it apparently seems that fog has impact on the fading of trees, notice when having objectsFade=true, in overcast trees fade even closer to POV -
that's how Thirdwire should have made it look like out of the box Kout

SF2 Screenshot Thread
Stary replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Ravenclaws_007's new Block25 cockpit, new modified sky colour and clouds sizes/shapes for SARCASM 1.2, almost done TSF tileset (buildings yet to be repainted) and Jules' new Raptor pit: it's good to be SF afficionado despite all the flaws post scriptum: I take back what I wrote about TK breaking TODs rendering, it was my error to use old entries -
too early April Fools guys, easy btw last pic, that bridge in the background does look familiar, ain't?

All hail Falcon! heck even the background looks like my area, must finally go outside and check if there are chicks lying around in the snow

SF2 Screenshot Thread
Stary replied to Stary's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
nice one Spinners! some more modern day flying over Baltic states: side note: OF COURSE TK (specially?) fu**** up the way TOD objects are rendering post March2012 (NA.exe) and other older format map shaders for land and water too, so using my good old proven settings messes things up. Sheesh -
