how are the graphics with 1.09?

July 26, 2008 9:48:26 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

How did they change the graphics in the new patch? Did they entirely change models (I believe the Vasari Evacuator needs to be redone completely)??? Do weapons feel more present or will we still need a mod to make the game feel "more impressive" ??? How is the game graphic wise with the new patch?

They did NOT change whole models, they just touched them up and changed a little bit to make then loot cooler. They make weapons more visible and pronounced.

The major changes are on the explosion effects.

The effects are better, but still missing some flare. I like the effects in Bailknight's Graphic Mod- I think Ironclad should have looked to this mod to see the full potential of the game engine.

I've only played one game and for about 15 minutes at that, but one model that is completely redone is the TEC bomber. I liked the old one, but this one is mildly reminiscent of the B-2 bomber and I wuv it. Yes, wuv. I said it.

A shame to hear it still isn't up to Bailknight's mod. I currently use it and love it, but I still want the effects in Sins could be so much more by default.

All of the bombers were remodled, because it was hard to determine which was which.

Then I'll definitely have to load up an Advent and Vasari game later to see the changes. Should be interesting. Thanks for the heads-up.

I find that even the textures seem to look better from farther away too. Before I would have to zoom in to see the ship at it's best now I can easily see how they are supposed to look like from a farther distance.

This is mostly on the cap ships for reference.

What is the BMP setting anyway? It's always set to lowest, so I decided to try turning up to highest, and I don't see any difference; that I can tell so far.
