I gotta give it to you: this one's funny...
New Planet Tech is KILLER of Exploration (all terrain is tiling/repeating/not procedural/random)
- Thread starter BlackMaze
- Start date
I wonder which of them were really up to chance in Horizons. Some were placed for sure, like the engineer bases. Not sure about the others. I also visited to few of them to have an opinion yet.
Still need to do the Guardian tour and INRA site seeing in Odyssey. The fog/dust missing at the Guardian sites will be a downgrade for sure. That much I know already.
Looks like someone tried to make craters on a melted strawberry ice cream, but only after hearing how crater looked. Not knowing himself.
The problem is, it seems their algorithm is picking one premade asset to place on a planet, then five places to put it.
Also, the argument of "those things are all out there, commanders just have yet to find them" is such a cutesy way of excusing the deletion of years of history, simply because they didn't care to approximate continuity.
On the first, we all know about this bug, it is known that they are working on it.
About the CM sayings, annoying because they are upset but he did not tell any lies, there are beautiful planets out there and as an explorer I run into them continuously and constantly make comparisons. Here I leave you one between Horizons and Odyssey same planet locates with.
Thank you for reminding me we had more than 2 textures (fine dust or snow/rough) for the ground in Horizon.
I can post random screenshot to, but that wouldn't be the spirit of the thread.
Always use that excuse when someone refutes you.
I speak of ground texture, you post a screenshot from space. Where we can't see the ground texture, only a special one for space.
U have amazing reflection textures in the growns in the video. anyway what`s your complain? all the textures are a huge upgrade from horizons, that`s clear water.
prove me wrong
This entire thread does it for me, and you're just there to troll. Why would I bother ?
You should be more amazed by bump mapping I guess. Also the Battlefield Earth camera angle. That makes all the tiling and LOD problems go away.
That is a known bug and will be fixed.
On the other hand for you and Ereil (forgetting how troll I supposedly am).
Are the textures in Odyssey a big horizons update? Yes or no
In some aspect yes, in many, no. Better overall quality and resolution, much less variety, overuse of texture for fake rough terrain instead of actual rough terrain. Also bugs.
Yes.
But.
Thats called a "straw man" - this thread is not about textures which are fully loaded on ground.
The thread is about something that is in the process of being fixed.
And that means people can't speak about it?
Without this thread there would be no acknowledgement that there is something to fix in the first place.
I never say that.
Not entirely. We also don't know what is the extent of what Fdev consider "issues". For example the CM stated they don't want to do a planet re-creation, but we have core issues in the planet gen (like heightmap artifact, copypasted meteor crater, height variety...).
So I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say we'd like to know exactly what are considered issues by Fdev.
So we report the problem, and hope Fdev see those, and recognize them as problem. But so far, we have no way to know.
