Just stumbled upon this topic by chance, and this is EXACTLY what I was hoping for, thanks to you man, and of course to Galaxy613 for bringing the pits back.

Minor issue that I found: The cockpit doesn't seem to get illuminated by tracers or your own shots, this seems to be a problem only in certain sectors, in other sectors it works.
Otherwise it seems to work fine. I use shader 2.0, all settings high, + additional light sources, etc, on an ATI.

TheBypasser · Post by **TheBypasser** » Sat, 27. Jan 07, 03:03

that was a necessary setback for the 2.0 shader model.. Btw do you use the full package or with no shader upgrade?

balogt · Post by **balogt** » Sat, 27. Jan 07, 07:58

download a couple of my new cockpits. i have some animated dash pieces from x2 working. the scrolling text data etc etc. i also have a small version of the cap ship radar that actually works..its just a bit small to relay on in the fighter cocpit..but it looks neet. also check out the prometheus cockpit from sg-1.

id post a link to some pics at imageshack but it seems to be down at this moment.

ill try later
cheers
PS. the cockpits are on ym ftp site. bc303 and newts folders in the cockpit folder.

I installed the whole package, although there was no cat/dat 13 in the one I downloaded (supposedly version 3.0 alpha, link on the first page), just 10, 11 and 12. It looks however like the shader upgade, I have full reflections and bumpmapping, planets being reflected on glass, etc.
What's odd, In some sectors e.g. Split Fire I have full dynamic lighting, tracers, explosions and such on cockpit textures yet my old Radeon 9500 Pro doesn't even support SM 3.0. In some sectors just static lightmaps

My Geforce 6600GT, have no problem, shader 3.0, lol

offtopic! Open a new thread - this IS NOWHERE RELATED TO X2 COCKPITS FFS!

Btw pretty bugged they are - the first one you posted contains (hell knows what for) the TS part, and the other is just a generic ts cockpit with some minor bit of play in max - could you at least use the proper mat defs? Having no specular, no bump and no lit bulbs is shame ffs!

ps I have all those dash pieces workin' too

that's cus I did some merging etc so now it's pak 12 that has shader upgrade instead - cus I merged the original pak 12 with 11

May I ask if there are only camra views for the Xenon XL?

Or

Have they been given cockpits now?

I just Caped my 1st XL and only have what looks to be a normal X3 view from the XL

Stay safe!

TheBypasser · Post by **TheBypasser** » Tue, 20. Feb 07, 17:45

Like I said, I disabled Xenon cockpits for three reasons:
1. They block too much of my view and it definitely sucks - the other cockpits look way better btw, but that cagelike Xenon one is one hell of an obstruction!
2. They are completely unsuitable for the new Xenon look..
3. Xenons have onboard cameras as the only "windows" so it's logical that you'd see everything only through them..

ps it's not XL, but LX ffs

Hansaw · Post by **Hansaw** » Wed, 21. Feb 07, 03:01

LOL Yep I am thinking of Xenon so putting the X before the L sorry!

OK well if the cockpit is blocked could you at least put in floating scanner and weapon energy?

That would be cool to have those if it is at all possible. If not no worries, no harm in asking though.

Stay safe!

you gonna remove the annoying bridge you see on collusis (i really like the one on the mammoth...or is it the other way around...anyways which ever (dont remember which) has the bridge view with the really wide windows should be kept...i like that one for all my cap ships...(like to see where im going)

Khaak_Slayer · Post by **Khaak_Slayer** » Wed, 21. Feb 07, 14:45

wow, TheBypasser, you need to take a chill pill.

Anyway, the shader is looking very nice, i'm going to give this a spin on my 6800GT.

OrionSnake · Post by **OrionSnake** » Sun, 18. Mar 07, 01:36

Does anyone using GeForce 7600 GT with this mod?

I tried it on mine and I have yellow color around the cockpit after I load the game. After I jump to a sector (from Ore Belt to Argon Prime), the color around the cockpit was white.

Graphic driver: ForceWare 93.71

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c

Any ideas what would cause this?

garrry34 · Post by **garrry34** » Mon, 19. Mar 07, 00:48

i gave it a shot on my dual 7800gtx's in sli, the cockpit was in monocolour, ie black and white

Realspace · Post by **Realspace** » Mon, 26. Mar 07, 15:43

Same I (whitening borders...): geforce 7600 GS

BaronDeKalb · Post by **BaronDeKalb** » Mon, 26. Mar 07, 23:05

thes are looking very nice,

i was just wondering if there is a setting to make the cockpits see through

like they are being projected so you can still see behind solid objects.

very nice work,
