vendetta-online graphics buff

Mar 11, 2008 Lord~spidey link
Vo runs great on old boxes and looks great on newer powerhouses, but i doubt you can really push any of low/medium end cards that have come out in the last 2 years playing vendetta online.

There some pretty simple ways oh making vo look even better without having to design new models or making new textures.

Flare effect:

Release another vendetta setup file with higher resolution textures through bitorrent.

Higher resolution backgrounds that don't blur when zoomed in.

Eliminating blurry stars in the starmap.

These aren't a top priority atm but a graphics buff should be really be considered before 2.0 is release to the eyes of the unwashed. :P

PS: the flare effect is a bit overdone but you get what i meant :)

That flare idea is great, especially since the volume can be attributed to the space dust.

Is it bitmap images that avoid blurring when zoomed-in?

I think Incarnate mentioned something about releasing an optional graphics update/pack that would let players with high-end hardware play with much higher-resolution textures. I'll try and dig it up somewhere...

Nice work on the flare, spidey. Looks great.

Because as every twelve yearold with a stolen copy of photoshop knows, lens flare makes everything better.

go back to your troll cave genka :P
I use The GIMP and there is no such filter.

Mmm, I see. Cheaper tools, same bad age, same bad taste.
Sorry to have made the mistake.

Spidey I tried to think of something critical to say, but nada. Looks good.

HDR and volumetric shading would basically up VO's requirements 10 fold. Support would be neat though. lol

It could be an Option in the graphics menu so people like me that still have 5 year old card can still play, and people who just payed 500 bucks for a sweet SLI setup can play vo with minblowing graphics that blow Eve and other space mmos out of the water.
