Hey all,

I just came back from a very long one month vacation, and I realised the beta for 117 had started a few days before I returned. So, as to be expected, I immediately grabbed the newest beta 1.17.005 and gave it a quick run. At first, nothing worked, and I got random errors and crashes. However after a little random fumbling and a little of my stupid luck, I got it to work. Not sure how, but anyways, to the real questions.

Forgive my ignorance to the discussion over the migration. There might be questions that are already answered elsewhere, but I hope you guys understand how unforgiving 16 hours of being caged up in airplanes can be...


- I've heard that there is some sort of 'heat wave' effect? Is this available in the current beta, and if so, how does it work?
- Will V116 mods be at the slightest, compatible with 117?
- I noticed that some default scifi entities now have some sort of a specular shader applied. Will the Metro Theatre's shaders work, as well as bond1's newest free shaders?


And that's it for my curiousity for now. Thanks ahead of time!

Hey, Welcome back.

anyway, there is still a lot of undocumented stuff in the code people are still trying to figure out.

Heatwave has not come up yet in the migration thread.
By the way, that thread after page 49 deals with the alpha and beta finds and workings.

a list of added command, how the shaders work from the setup.ini file. How to get ragdoll to work, hpw to get the dark at working, and so on.

As far as 1.16 mods they will not have the new commands in them as of yet. I have seen a couple getting ready to port some mods. Project blue is the only confirmed for 1.17. (anybody coreect me if Im wrong here).

In the first part of the setup.ini file turn the 0's to 1's in the effects on... section and try out metro theatre stuff. I have not heard anyone say it does not work.

Nothing but coffee in my veins

Alright, so the heatwave is something to wait for.

And I'm actually kind of OK with not being able to use mods, considering 117 basically has everything I need

Finally, about the Metro Theatre shaders. I would have to turn off exactly what in the setup file? A bit confused there.

Thanks!

in your setup.ini file

[GAMERUN]
realgameview=0
dynamiclighting=1
dynamicshadows=0
useeffects=0 <---change this to 1
useeffectsonguns=0 <---change this to 1 for effects on guns
useeffectsonscene=0 <---change this to 1 for effects on scene items
useeffectsonentities=0 <---change this to 1 for effects on entities
dividetexturesize=2
controllerhint=0
vrmode=0
vrmodemag=100
mousesensitivity=100
producelogfiles=0
hsrmode=2
optimizemode=1
aspectratio=0
newblossershaders=1 <-- keep this at 1 for bloom on
postprocessing=0 <-- 0 - off, 1 - bloom, 2 - DepthofField
showaioutlines=0

Load up an object from the metro theatre pack and test it. make sure bonds fx file are assigned.
Give a shot and see what happens.
Bond put out a norm_spec_tangentbasis.fx shader that works on segment. this works in 1.17. I sure he has others in that pack.

Who the hell is General Failure? And why is he trying to read my hard disk?

Nobody's sure at the moment how to use both.
Try:

newblossershaders=1
postprocessing=2
these are the only options in the code for now listed earlier.

Maybe it will work. dont get your hope up to high.

You can't currently run more than one fullscreen shader at once without combining the bloom and DoF shaders. Simple as that.
