Atmospheric Pressure

Post by Speedracer »

I have a couple of ideas.

:idea: I think that there ought to be more sky choices.

:idea: Driving at night time is fun and the cycles should have headlights.

SO what do you think?

I can't remember the last time I looked up at the armagetron sky.

> i dont remember seeing any sky in the movie

there was indeed a sky, made up of L-shapes and stuff. a long time ago i made a custom movie pack with this graphic. if i ever get my primary computer back on its feet i'll post it here.

rude:

yeah, a recogniser. it should be circling around menacingly.

perhaps one day in the future when somebody is feeling inspired, have it come down and stomp someone. then again, if any of this creates added bandwidth then i say forget about it. nothing is worth more lag...

about headlights and other luminous materials: if you want it please dig up some good openGL documentation on it (not a general link). the info should be fairly recent as well...

if somebody does this it might be looked at but remember we don't want to add stuff that eats up the fps :D

luminousity is on my personal todo-list but it's so far down that you'll have to wait years (and i'm usually way too optimistic about the time things take for me to do) lol :mrgreen:

as for making skies part of the moviepak (or themes as i think we should begin to call them soon, after all only two of the themes are based on the movie) that is slightly higher on my priorities (but still behind lots of other stuff)

How about a sun that literally crosses the tron sky based on what time it is for you... or for that server... kinda like going to a new race track for NASCAR or something.

LoL, i defenitely like the idea of the headlights... maybe modding ur bike, like place neon lights on it and stuff. But also, i think u can dl a patch 4 that... else ppl should make it
Night idea is good, but the walls should be diff then, and i NEVER look at the sky with tron...:?
But with the light u can get big bugs, you can get the blinding effect if u r driving straight at an opponent with headlights... u both can't c shit and a lucky kill is there... Think the idea better out and the maybe ppl can make it :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I have my walls short so I see the grid like this... That is why more sky activity would be good.
