Vivid Pack (Preview)

I am working on a remake of the original Tribes terrians with Jezulkim, basically I am working off the pack that was released by Jezulkim (thanks for releasing). There will be replacements for the following terrains: Desert, Alien, Ice, Mars, Lush and Mud. They will not affect your frames per second (FPS), they will however require hudbout to work. (might be enhanced images of packs, weapons, and such)

Manylith posted a screenshot a while ago of something similar labeled "high def" in a post you config thread. The funny thing is they are not high def, but that is another topic in itself. He made excuses when users asked to share, told me in a im he had them but never finished them.. yet in the forum he stated he lost them in a HD crash. Thanks for being a good community member manylith :-D /rant off

Anyways any feedback is welcome, they will mostly likely be released in the first week of May.

I'm really confused by the text but i like to see people putting efford into tribes ;) so... thumbs up

Cheater. Post your cheater screenshots somewhere else. I tossed hudbot terrains that I made that looked just like that because I hated them. A filter or two (craquelure and perhaps a sharpen/unsharp mask) and a batch action. Congratulations on the elite photoshopping skills.

I only play LT, happymod is required for passing and catching flag. I would consider it a cheat if no one else used it on the server I play on, but all use it on LT. If I did not use it against them, they would have a advantage against me.

No one ever said anything about having elite photoshop skills, get a grip man. Also I did not use any of the features that you stated, I used image level and curves if you really want to know. I saw others asking for the textures in another thread but were never released so I figured I would contribute so the ones that wanted it could have it.

Sorry, original labeled is over the original texture made by Jez.. Vivid label is the one that I have made

Renegades spawn is not LT. Perhaps you play LT maps but I think you're confused about what mod you play.

Sorry you are right it is Ren Spawn with LT maps, one of the admins (reef) told me to get it because everyone on the server uses it.

You need hudbot to use these replacement Terrains, place them in HudBot\Replacements folder... drag the whole zip file into the folder, no need to extract. Previews are below, old terrain on left, new on right. Big thanks to Jezulkim for the original terrains and gettin me the converted files.

Put the pics in the same order as the downloads. I've only checked out the alien terrain but it's not bad. A bit bright but tolerable. My fps took a distinct hit from 240 to 220 though.

That is odd, I have them all loaded plus textures and armors of the same concept without any FPS loss. Unlike you though, I have my vsync enabled to prevent image tearing. My game rarely if ever dips below 60fps, even with a full server and a lot of activity on the screen. Anyways at such a high FPS you do not have to worry, you will notice no difference is gameplay. Agreed the Alien terrains came out very bright, I might re-do them.

I was joking about the fps. I didn't attempt a comparison. Saying that fps won't take a hit is false though. On decent systems yea it won't be noticeable but in borderline situations any hudbot terrain will seem "laggy". I checked out the ice terrain as well and have the same "complaint". I had to turn gamma way down and it darkened some interiors a bit too much.

edit: tried the lush terrain just now. Same deal. I think you went a bit too far with those.

the links do not work

Sorry I posted it on a lot of sites and the bandwidth went quicker than I thought it would. I will try to find another host to upload the stuff to.

Why not just host them on mediafire? You don't need an account (but you can make one for more control) and it's unlimited.

thanks lemon, gona check it out now

NeutralX2 has offered to host the files on his website, Im I am in the process of talking to him about it. Also I will post the textures, armors and weapons in the same effect as terrains.

Looks good :)

You can download vivid pack at the link above, thanks for the hosting provided by NeutralX2. While you are there look around the site he has some good content for gamers! Thanks to Jez again!

I'm using tribes ftw config, and its not working for me.. :( Any help?

You need the new version of hudbot.

Hudbot (http://www.team5150.com/~andrew/project.hudbot/)

The one major shake-up between the new Hudbot and old Hudbot is that PNGs are no longer supported. TGAs are now the supported graphics format, being much simpler to support and much faster to read. When zipped, TGAs are not much larger than their zipped PNG counterparts so the size impact is minimal.

So.. if all my current files for hudbot are pngs, i just convert them to tga?
