Patch 86

[Skuzzy]

New version up.

Crash me no more, please.

[Chalenge]

It is not auto-updating?

[FLS]

Edit: Update working now.

[Skuzzy]

AH-HAH!  So you are paying attention!

Try it again.

[Lazerr]

Everything downloaded well.. looks good.

[FLS]

Still no VOX in GS4. I also get disco'd there but the other arenas are OK.

My connection is still bad, most web sites are very slow or time out so that may affect my VOX testing.

[Lazerr]

I flew offline on NDisles down around CV20.

Turned time to 08:30:00 and got this weird dance from shadows off of trees and objects.

[Shrike]

I updated from 85 to 86 in with a 5 second download.  There were no update issues.

VOX tested good in the Mission arena.  I’ll test new VOX feature Wed night when our squad meets in the online Alpha.

I could get into all online arenas.

[Chalenge]

AH-HAH!  So you are paying attention!

Try it again.

I think this is a great time to be paying attention.

AutoUpdater worked fine from 85 to 86 w\o issue.................

All arenas will start up fine now.................

Tested VOX working in all arenas EXCEPT GS4 Alpha.........in this arena I got no channel beep as well as no voice playback.

 

Continuing................... .................

Setting the shapestd slider to 1.675 reduces the glare. You still get the white highlights but you lose the bucket of white paint look on the shiney aluminum.

I ended up setting shapestd to 1.777, terrain to .977 & trees to.800, this looked good to me.

I like it a little darker than the default...................... ...

FYI.......................... ............

I am dying to test the debug sliders!  However    I am having a Homer Simpson moment:  Lisa Simpson (my daughter  ) has hogged all of the bandwidth downloading "Care Bears" versus "My Little Pony" or gawd knows what, for the last 3 hrs. and has left the house  (usually this means uninterrupted by streaming) .......... and if I pull the chord on this monstrosity, the fr'kn earth will plummet out of orbit and women's rights will have been violated for all eternity .....

The only small glimmer of light I am able to achieve from this is the knowledge that I am not alone.....    and also, one day in the future, Dale will think back to this rant...... and suddenly it will all make sense....  (stock up on the Speyburn my friend)

<S> uploaded fast and all good
had a little play with the sliders too, thought I liked it a tad darker too..
but I found it hard to tell as the lighting is so dynamic and seems to change a bit..
is it a feature that when in gv gunsight everything is brighter?
then when you leave gunsight  it stays bright for a bit then dims...
Also if you have sun behind you or in front of you seems to determine wether to change different slider settings..
sorry if Im not that useful..
maybe will have a bit more of a fiddle.
Great work though looks amazing..cant wait for it to be populated

Side note You might need a dog in the house chilli to help bring up the testicle count and bring back some order...

[Chilli]

An idea for comparison of different monitor settings:

There must be some sort of grid or visual test, like the color blind "can you read this" graphic, that could test the saturation, vibrancy, brightness and contrast on the monitors of those testing.  What some might see as psychedelic saturated colors, may look drab or washed out to others.



I would do the google, but as stated before, I can barely even post due to competition on my router for any bandwidth.

JimmyC,

The women's rights thing I can handle, it's all the ^#^)%&% fr'kn world is crashing down drama that I skillfully avoid -- Plus, Santa's Helper (Homer's dog) never takes his side, or hadn't you noticed?
