Welp, it's been over a decade since I made these monitor animations. Probably safe to double the frame count now.

ZylonBane
Still looks cool tho.

ZylonBaneWould you have a direct comparison at hand?

I tried really hard to hear anything special in this video for a minute until I realised that the logo wasn't animated before.
Good job.

Honest first impressions: why is it blue, was that original design? Seems to clash.  Could be the point so they stand out from the environment for gameplay purposes.
Isn't that the toxicity symbol? Eh that Zylonbane is perhaps more pedantic than I am (perhaps) and certainly does his research. Don't question it. Still a wanker though.

Edit: oh fuck now I remember blue turrets. Shit is this that getting old thing people whine about?

Dude, two decades in and you're still some kind of freaking wizard at teasing detail out of blurry low res mess. Thank you.

Nice work. As Join2 said, don't question it.

How many accounts do you have?

I'm having some z-fighting issues here and there with it, example :

"It"? What are you even talking about? And why does that screenshot have chromatic aberration all over it?

Are you using the mesh fix mod? Lots of objects in vanilla are completely borked

I was talking about this

I know a lot of people have had problems with things like z-fighting on gurneys and that mod fixes a lot of them.

I was wondering if Deu Sex was using that mod or not, as it came to mind regarding his z-fighting issue.

Fun with Ops deck...

Some of you may recognize these poor mistextured monstrosities that Irrational scattered around the Operations deck:



This texture is actually the one intended for another Ops wall console:



I'd been intending to fix these guys for a long time, but was dreading having to create a new texture from scratch to fit the placement of the various elements. But looking at it recently, I noticed the layout is virtually identical to a couple of the Med/Sci wall consoles:



The base textures for the Ops and Med/Sci consoles even have nearly identical names: opsvac.pcx and medvac.pcx. I'm guessing that a proper opsvac existed at one point, but was then accidentally overwritten by someone texturing the other Ops console, and nobody at Irrational ever noticed.

So as a quick and dirty solution, I took medvac, tweaked the colors to match the Ops theme, and voila:



Now the other Ops object texturing screwup. The sign over the entrance to the Power Operations section has always read "Power Admin.". The mapper placed the correct sign from the gamesys, Power_Ops_Sign, but the model itself is mistextured, showing the wrong sign from the source texture. The actual Power Admin section is in a completely different map.

What, you mean like this?
