To be fair, there are a lot of idiots about (i.e. me), and also many careless people too (that demographic includes me too), so it never hurts to issue a brief reminder of common sense things, just in case.
That's a George Carling quote, isn't it? He was brilliant, one of the very few genius comedians with the twin gifts of being able to (a) point out something that you've known about and taken for granted all of your life but he makes you realize how stupid it really is, and (b) being able to make his explanation somehow sound hilarious.ZylonBane
Imagine how stupid the average person is. Then realise half of them are stupider than that.

That's good advice, thanks.

Old screenshot. It was just the first one I found in my screenshots folder that was a good enough "neutral" screenshot of Four Hundred, SHTUP and unfiltered textures.

Exactly this
unflitered textures with supersampling is my preferred look for those kind of games, even though I must admit the 400 mod makes a good case for re-enabling the filtering.
If you like unflitered textures as well, I highly recommend doing Vulkan supersampling. Use the d3d9.dll from the 32 bit folder of the DXVK project (currently version 2.2) and place it next to the game's exe, and then create a file near the exe too named dxvk.conf, and add inside:
d3d9.forceSampleRateShading = True
It will transform the "multisampletype" variable of the cam_ext.cfg file into super sampling anti aliasing for the entire image, not just for transparency, if you set multisampletype 4 for example it will do SSAAx4 instead (sort of), of course it is heavy on the GPU but that goes without saying.
There are also many other benefits to running the game under Vulkan, like making it much easier to capture the game with VRR displays.

Literally the second sentence of the first post. Barrels are not terrain. Barrels are objects.Four Hundred is a mod for System Shock 2 that replaces the original terrain textures

I don't see the point of doing it with SHTUP/400 on but with vanilla graphics it looks really cool, well, it makes them look better than how they do with texture filtering on. Blurry mess transforms into nice crispy almost-pixel-art

I can't think of a texture that would need any sort of improvement out of my mind like that, except maybe the turrets texture and the psi wall animated texture, but I recall seeing you working on those already

Speaking of which, those metal pipes in the Hydro deck pic cause the wrench swing sound to cutoff when struck; not for the scope of this mod but still worth noting.

« on: 27. November 2019, 17:06:52 »you mean RealSG and player shotgun muzzle flashes? don't merge that in I think, with the latest ND release, I should be able to cook up an universal RealSG build that will autodetect vanilla/SCP/Secmod/FMs/whatever and activate all the required bits accordingly (cshock2.gam.dml, lines 67-219, those are some real duct tape and chewing gum shenanigans right there, not something you want saved in your gamesys. feel free to rip the proper setup from SCP if you want proper player shotgun muzzle flashes in your fan missions). I would also omit the snippet that modifies the cig size, I was just playing with that, and didn't really like it in the end.
making the rick turrets corpse properly would be advisable though (again, check the SCP setup). the map fixes are also worthy of a look.

voodoo47 - I checked the dml files, some of the changes I had already made. For the hybrid/Shotgun-thing: should I include the dml-file?

also, Ponterbee update? nice - maybe check the dml bugfixes, merging them into the new version probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
