ive done this quite some time ago and thought its not so good as i expected, so i didnt even release it....but i spent quite some time on it, so now i decided i`ll release it and maybe someone will like it
put the .dds files into your lfs directory/data/dds .... the JPGs are just for preview
sounds cool, but i still dont 100% understand how it works, but here are things i`d like to see in it (and i have no idea how much are these possible to do):
- possibility to "tilt" the camera (ex. here is the camera tilted: http://www.liveforspeed.cz/upload/HITS_image3.jpg)
- zoom in/out where i could control how much it zooms (lower than 12° that is currently available would be nice) and also the speed of zoom (currently there are 3 speeds, but thats not enough...the fastest speed isnt fast enough and the slowest speed isnt slow enough)
- height of camera - currently you can go only upto ~5m or when you press TAB you can go higher, but you cant see into distance...
WARNING! you CANNOT have conversation with someone who has different opinion in this channel. I disagreed with caporegine in something about LFS, so we started discussing and got kickbanned for 1h for that. wtf is wrong? there were hundreds of such discussions, not even about lfs and noone banned anyone...
also nice behavior from op... (23:50:01) (@Moonclaw) DoN^^ & caporegime, go FU*K yourselves. <- in original its not censored
5 minute job??! are you kidding? its not that easy as you imagine. the background images cannot be some random good looking image. it must be something that wont distract your attention from the texts/buttons, it must support range of resolutions (4:3, 16:9,16:10) etc. and with those huru`s background pics, you must be kidding? i have nothing against huru, but if you want to hear whats wrong with them:
first 2 pics would be bad cropped in 16:9, they distract your attention from buttons/texts, lowering saturation isnt the way how to make "real" bw photo and the 3rd image (garage) is just so "fake" and arcadish, plus the car CANNOT rotate there.
and about buttons in lfs - wtf is wrong with them? green color is the best color for a button of "OK/GO/START/.." style and red for a "CANCEL/EXIT/..." button.
and that they arent 100% red or 100% green? thats only good, because only newbies use that colors.
EDIT: just checked hurus bgs ingame (before i was only talking about the 3 "thumbnails" he posted)....
scanlines effect isnt good idea, puts quality down and makes the pics look AAless, its not good for realtime stretchable resolutions, creates moire effect, very weird amounts of blur on wrong places, white cars, no skins, very wide fov, lots of distortion. NO, you cant make background image in 5 minutes. the bg images that come with lfs involves hours of hours and they arent just some random pics placed randomly into game menu screens.
from irc:
(vicc) for you or someone else with already an s2 account, can get a "Buy S1 -> S2 upgrade voucher L12"
(vicc) then use the voucher. The result is that your account is still s2 licensed, but you'll have +12 pounds on your account
(vicc) so by the time S3 comes, the account will automatically be upgraded to S3
right click on desktop -> properties -> settings -> advanced -> 3D -> Direct3D -> use user settings -> and there you move the 2 sliders to the right (6x and 16x) ...turn on lfs and you will see the difference
