Hey out there you Renegade-type people. I thought maybe you'd like a little update on our progress. We're currently working on the Gap Generator effect. You can go to our thread on the RA:APB forums to see just what kind of wackiness we're up to. The latest screenshots and media are located here. It's pretty cool, and a lot of you probably don't think what we're doing is even possible in Renegade. Guess what? It is.

Oh yes, how could we possible think that scriptzones that enable fog could exist! Oh magical man, please show us what else you can do with your fire stick and cloacking enabled on a model.

The V2 should of been using the model replace since day one.

Oh yeah, this is why I don't post here anymore. I'm sorry that our speed of development isn't up to your standards, sire. I will try to improve myself for your benefit.

I don't like the look of a fog (The big black wirly thingy)

Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

Wow, I'm loving what you guys are coming up with so far! Especially with the new gap effect. If Neo could add sparks/lightning above the gap generator like in the old RA manual... In Love

In Love

What's the hit performance wise? Will the fog clear (at least for other Soviet units) when a unit is within the radius?

And why the hate? It's just supposed to be an update. No need to troll Oblivion. That fog doesn't look like the fog I've seen in Renegade before.

I have a bad computer, so I'm not really qualified to say how the performance is. It doesn't seem to run any worse than that map normally does for me.

As for your other question, the fog doesn't clear up until the Gap Generator is destroyed. It also cloaks Allied units so that they are only visible when they fire, similarly to Red Alert.

Would it be possible for the fog to clear just around the tank so that other (friendly Soviet) units can see the tank? Like it worked in RA.

It has nothing to do with your speed of development, I said nothing about that.

Just dont act like its something amazing and above what we can do.

I personally think it is, and I would also like to know who "you all" are. It's something that was previously thought impossible; now we've shown that it isn't.

A fog effect in a central area? How was that impossible? You could do that with emitters if you had to.

As for speed, who cares, the mod is out there and its being worked on.

I'm running everything on full, with 4xAA and 16xAF using RenD3D9. I also have some other settings turned on to increase image quality via the nvidia drivers(7900GT). So keep that in mind when judging the FPS.

If you think scriptzones can have a spherical area of effect that moves with a vehicle, go ahead and try.

Thats not my pc, it was sarcasm of what it would take to create lag from emitters.

You dont make it spherical, you use aliased script zones to create the effect.

Move your box out a distance, create an axis point of zero on your proxy box, and just 360 clones all around, done. It doesnt require "brining down" the walls of basic renegade modding.

I don't think you get it. The mobile version of the effect has it centered around a vehicle that moves. And this effect is much nicer and runs better than that 'billions of emitters' idea you seem to think is so great.

While I'm sure you're the king of Renegade modding and can make moving script zones and adjust the fog in real-time before that feature is even in the engine or scripts.dll or bhs.dll addons, let me tell you that-- well you can't. Sorry.

Unless the whole part about hacking in the adjustable fog was all in my imagination

Also, yeah, Gif Video might load slow if you're on a 28.8k line.
