Thanks MCR, the military vehicles look good. Is that a flare you're using for the excavation light (first post)? Is it one of the built-in effects or a texture?

IIRC the original light texture is now the base texture of a material rotation animation, where a property texture, which has a glowmap applied to it, is rotated. Also, as you've correctly identified, there is one of the new flares added to the light (which are accessible via the built-in material command 'flare x').
You can look @ the code in current trunk (materials/excavation.mat).
I designed & comitted more complex light animations also (dam.mat for example), but those are not fully working @ the moment, because it is not possible to combine pulse & glow animations yet [will ignore 'pulse'], but I am confident that this will be changed soon...
Btw., the flares are located in base/pics/flares.

Yes, but the server host other projects as well.

Looking at the forum admin panel, which shows the *real* amount of space for attachments (which has been increased a number of times already), we only have about 1 GB total for attachments - much of which has already been filled in this forum which goes back for several years.

I do not know what to tell you, because I do not really understand what you want to tell me  ::), but have I told you already that I also like your boy-model ?! :)

Sorry, I'm not trying to pick on you MCR, and I'm not angry or upset or anything, I'm just pointing out that a large thread filled with lots of images could use up quite a bit of space.  I'm not trying to imply anything "between the lines," I'm being direct about that.

As for deleting anything, I wouldn't do that yet, but if down the road the upload folder gets full and we have to find something to cut, well, a thread with tons of images might be one of those things that would get cut to save space - no offense toward you intended.

Side note:  One thing that would be good is if you could pick your very best screenshots and use parts of them for the project website, in the "media" section, as a lot of the media is very old and doesn't show any of the current stuff we have in the game now.  That would be very nice.  I haven't looked in the media area in some time, but last time I checked it had just a little bit, and the stuff that was in there was *very* old.

Content on the forum should not be persistant. I think Ninex delete some time old things

Do you mean the last attached image from the mine map ?
What texture/normalmap don't you like ?

This is how the mine textures looked before: http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=5244.msg42101#msg42101
I had to change the wall/rock texture 'cause it had no license...

The glow in the first map looks nice. The flares in the second (green) are a bit much I think.

yes, i agree - the blue one is cool (on the last screenshot) but the green one is a little bit too much. and the first shot is cool, too

btw. which remind me about your changes for removing the lightmap via material parameters - it would imo be cool to have this as a surface flag - as it would also reduce the bsp filesize a little bit more. what do you think?
