Combat Report - (very) pic heavy

[stabiz]

Okay, so I couldn`t wait for GWX, so I reinstalled, and decided to try something I have been meaning to do for a long time: Use the res fix together with cranked up AA and AF. The reason why I havent done this earlier is the fact that the res fix crash my game if I try to record with fraps. But tonight I was in the mood for some eye candy, and oh my. This game is a stunner with these tools enabled! These pics were taken in 1600x1200 with 8x AA and 16xAF.

I should mention this is a clean GW 1.1a with Type VIIC skin by graf.

Sorry about the large pics, but I thought they should be seen in real size.

[Subwolf]

Nice pics, but you could reduce the size anyway..

[Dowly]

So, Subwolf. It´s been a day now. What should we fight over today? :hmm:

j/k :rotfl:

I like to see them in full size, to see the detail as I cant use that big rez on my screen. The biggest is the 12something x 1024. :up:

[Subwolf]

So, Subwolf. It´s been a day now. What should we fight over today? :hm

You better watch your tail mister, cuz I'm pissed, just got my patrol screwed up :stare:

kidding...

[Gizzmoe]

Sorry about the large pics, but I thought they should be seen in real size.

Well, please resize them to 1024x786 and reupload them.

[P_Funk]

You don't need to resize them per se. You can just have a thumbnail link. Preserve the larger than life feel but keep it friendly for 56kers.

[NightCrawler]

Awesome pics.....

[Subwolf]

Hey stabiz! Did you hear what ya boss said?? Fix ya pics, or he's gonna trash em :p

[thegroo]

Looking good.:up:

Regards Dieter

[stabiz]

Ugh. Its no easy way to fix this. I could post them as links, but there are 29 pics, and it took me long enough to make this thread.

Delete if you must, gizzmoe.

[Rose]

I just creamed my pants five seperate times from looking at those pics :D. How were the frame rates?

[THE_MASK]

The best i can do is 1152 x 865 x 75 hertz . AA 6x , anisotropic 16x

[Subwolf]

Well that was not so bad, btw nice pic :up:

With the size of stabiz's pics I had to take a walk with the mouse half across the room to see it all.

[stabiz]

I just creamed my pants five seperate times from looking at those pics :D. How were the frame rates?

I had 60-80 fps in open seas, but down in the 20`s and 30`s in ports and during big booms.

Gizzmoe, I will fix the pics in a little while if thats okay, it takes alor of time, and I cant do it now.

[Biggles]

The thread title says "(very) pic heavy"....that should be enough to warn all those with 56k. Anyway, nice pics mate, I knew ye couldn't hold yerself from this game for too long:rotfl:

[melnibonian]

The pictures are amazing :up: :up: :up: :up:

I've stoped playing GW now as I want to have the full experience of GWX :D :D :D

[Warmonger]

Very nice pics indeed. :up:

But say, how often did you die taking these pics? :hmm:

[stabiz]

Not once! :D They are all from the same engagement, in say 15 minutes real time.

[AVGWarhawk]

It's all about the eye candy:yep:. Shoot, I got kibashed on some of my pics being to large. I relegated myself to 800x600. I was taken out of the dog house. My sig for some reason like to come and go. At work I do not see my sig on my work computer it is completely gone. At home I see it fine. Anyway, cool pics bro!:rock: Like I say, GO BIG OR STAY HOME!

[mr chris]

Truely great pics Stabiz :yep: :up:
Could you or some else tell me what AA and AF stand for?

[Gizzmoe]

Could you or some else tell me what AA and AF stand for?
AA=Antialiasing (removes the jaggies from an image)
AF=Anisotropic Filtering (a texture filter methods)

[mr chris]

Thanks for the info Gizzmoe.:up:
I take it that playing around with these will effect frame rates.

[Gizzmoe]

I take it that playing around with these will effect frame rates.

Yes, how much depends on the game and how powerful your video card is. AA has the most notable effect on image quality.

[FIREWALL]

Ugh. Its no easy way to fix this. I could post them as links, but there are 29 pics, and it took me long enough to make this thread.

Delete if you must, gizzmoe.


Hey Stabiz Just gotta 21' wide screen lcd the pics are awesome:rock:
The detail is so realistic i was almost wipeing the water off my screen

[stabiz]

Yeah, the game looks really cool in high res and with GW.

I started uploading them with thumbnails, but my internjet is messing with me today, dropping in and out. I give up. (Wireless sucks)

Giz, how about giving me a warning for this one? I will never post pictures over 1024 again.
