I have made a suggestion concerning FPS to Leo. Leo wants the best experience one can get on his or her rig. I believe my suggestion might be the answer for those that are concerned with FPS.

Modular mod?

Since Leo let it out of the bag and he was already on top of this for guys like myself with lesser machines:up: , yep...modular mod type package. Mix and match, add and remove to your liking and your machines liking. I did the add and remove last night with great success. It was very cool to have a choice as to what I wanted in the game and what was a must have compaired to what I could live without. With that said, I was still able to run the entire package without issue on my lesser machine. AMD3200+ 2 gig DDR400 RAM and X1300 512mb card. For guys with the quick machines, more power to ya'. For guys like me, there is an answer to our whoas and it is a good answer that works well.

Could you clue us in on some of the improvements Warhawk?

rcjonessnp175 09-13-07 06:50 AM

Well ive been able to sub with this thing too, and the improvements are so many its hard to list, but ill try general. First of the sky is amazing the coloring the clouds ull see. Reflections of everything i mean everything is way improved, and alot of things in the enviroment say the islands have real distint reflections.
Fire and smoke both have thier own individual reflections, if the smoke is big enough the relection is huge and reminds me of 300, ha were fighting in the shade>

Underwater the light rays and wave effects are awesome, what angle the sun is is exactly the back asimuth of the rays underwater. Of course the sea textures sky land all sorts our much improved. The camera work, the new oil slicks, that burn by the way. Like i said thiers alot and i havent even listed it all im sure. I never played this game at stock i started playing it over here and the Lbo was already out, so comparing to old screenshots and what im playing is night and day. Big points to the whole mod crew.!!!

Im sure i missed some other things my bad, feel free to correct or add to what i said testers and modders.

As RC has already stated....basically it is a total overall environmental mod including action and coloration therein. There is more than RC stated but I leave that all for you to discover. When I experienced one particular part I said, "Jesus, Joseph and Mary, what the heck was that???" Leo knows what I'm talking about. Clouds now look like clouds and react like a real weather system, not the racing clouds we had with stock game. Reflections are very realistic concerning the moon and sun. Of course you know about the seafoam and it is brillant. One would wonder how LBO could be improved and Leo has found that it can be improved. You will be wow'd by the coloration at dusk. My daughter who is 12 walked over last night as I was running the seafoam mode with LBO and she stated that the water looks real. For a kid who is not in the know of what Leo is attempting to accomplish here, this simple statement speaks volumns. Keep in mind that this mod is not just sight candy....it has grown into sound candy as well. I will leave to your imagination on that one.

Also, from my understanding, when this mod is complete, Leo has discovered how to activate the many voice responses in the game that we do not get to hear at present. He intends of getting these phrases available. Now put these all together and we have a king sized mod chock full of new goodies.

In a nutshell, it is like a repaint of every room in your house. New fresh colors and textures to enjoy.

You guys will be very pleased. I have the mod in it's almost completed form and I'm in awe as to what it was and what it is now. So many things you can see and change to your liking. You think it is hard now to pull yourself away from the game, wait until this is loaded. :rock:

rcjonessnp175 09-13-07 12:02 PM

Avgwarhawk, has the more updated stuff u got have any of the phrase or speech work?? Thanks in advance

The General 09-13-07 12:07 PM

Thanks for whetting the appetite for this amazing sounding MOD guys. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Neal needs to implement some sort of award system for the modding Community. Where we all vote on the MOD of the year and stuff.

No I do not. I know Leo has been fiddling around with the phrases that are not used in the game and has gotten them to work. From what I gather Leo wants to get this mod completely finished before he digs in on the phrases. Those should be good!

rcjonessnp175 09-13-07 12:21 PM

No doubt!!, im doing a carrier group recon up in Dallian which is in the norther part of the Yellow sea, Its kind of hard to concentrate because im drooling all over myself, early morning mostly cloudy but has that red hue in the sky ill try to post some picts, but wow this is awesome!!:rock::rock: As far as testing goes i havent had any problems and with my rig no slow done unless thiers Alot of fires, and when i mean alot i mean Alot, but nothing A strong rig cant handle. I run everything with this wimpy one and still get all the eye candy of the mod. Good job Leo and the Crew, u guys should come up with some cool code name or team name:up:

I think no one has ever said it better (or with more conviction) than the immortal (or was it immoral?) Lloyd Bridges when he said

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking."

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking."

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue."

and

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines"

in the ageless "classic" "Airplane"


(Yes, if you can't tell, I love stupid movies!:rotfl: )
