I agree, this is a really fun plugin.
I set the 'fog' effect to a light grey to simulate real fog - gives quite a different look to the game.

I really think these types of things should be worked on more than anything.
Wireframe etc... and those direct X hacks would be great also!

It might actually be the single most useful plug out there I bet even the anti-decal types would love this one.

Post a new thread on needing support for it.

Lil-Blub, while I agree with you that SkunkVision is really cool, are you aware that it is developed by gkusnick... who coincidentally is a Decal Dev? (I thought you vehemently hated all Decal Devs?)

LOL. Drak. I don't honestly HATE anyone. I have alot of enemy's but I hate having those too...
I am/somewhat have a small issue with them. But they have NEVER really taken this route of programming before (at least that the public and I have seen.) Decal is a enhancement also as such... But this to me is borderline.
I like the edge of things. It brings out the best in people. A congratulations is not really a bad thing imho. So confront me or not... It still stands.. I love this plugin.
If you all ever get bored over there @ decaldev.com... Consider what the community has done to games like WoW. Maybe follow in SOME senses.
There has been some crazy stuff being done. I would love to just see a glimpse of that hope in this game. Being it is such a old game and all I figured things like this should have been in the game ages ago.
I personally like your program Drak. I do happen to use it. Do I like everything you say and respond too all the time? Not really... But that's all based on the subject or opinion the person is responding too. It has nothing to do with your skill or expertise in the area your are best in.
I never expected from a Skunkworks dev that this would actually happen. That's imho awesome in itself. I can't thank G enough.
Now I would love to see a few more things entered into the realm.. such as direct x hacks.
One idea came to mind the other day.. but I think i'll keep that under wraps, so I won't be "one-upped" on projects I start or are in the middle of. Lifetank xR was developed and was going to be released but apparently from some small suprise... the FULL source code is no longer FULLY available. How odd. It's not the end of the world. It's just less energy and money I need to spend.
The next project is not going to be revealed until release time.

How bad is the lag if you just run the unclimbable slop portion of it? That has always been my top annoyance with AC and if I could get of that with a plugin, I probably would be willing to accept a bit of lag when I am in that situation.
The time saved would more than make up for any lag caused by it.

I notice it actaully more when I have radar and water hax turned on.
The other one seems to work ok. And you can of course turn it off and on.
I am currently working on a new direct x hack for wireframe.

Skunkvision is till the most useful program ANY DECAL DEV has ever came up with next to Decal itself...which was'nt just one dev.
And the most useful part = IMHO.

Lil-Blub... before you go off making claims, I'd suggest you study and learn your history properly.
Decal actually WAS one dev originally.. a single dev came up with the concept, the framework, and everything else for Decal pretty much by himself. He has since left (long ago) and it has eventually worked its way into our hands.
And although SkunkVision is cool, and I applaude gkusnick for his work (he's a really smart and good guy) I can think of a few more plugins that are far more difficult to code and more beneficial to me personally... Exception by Hazridi was one of the coolest I've seen. It made AC2 style health bars in AC1 ... along with a lot of other cool stuff.

I dunno, I found both Let There Be Light and Exception to be extremely useful. I'm not saying Greg's isn't useful, but he does have some others on the podium with him...
And in the past we've had Arcane Knowledge, Insane Bot, Sixth Sense (and ACHunter before it), InstaOG, and I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now.

We are letting this mole steer the thread. Ignore him. Taking nothing away from any of the Decal or plugin devs over the years - every plugin has it's own following, I've found. Ranking them in any way is the mole's way of stirring up controversy. Which plugin you think is 'best' is too subjective. We all have our favorites. Bandit Sight would have to mine. Sixth Sense was amazing and was the plugin that got me interested in Decal in the first place. And who could forget AcArm ?
SkunkVision is very cool, for me, the 'fog' effect simply gives the game a whole new 'look', it is especially neat to use when in heavy woods or jungle.
You know what would be nice - and perhaps we will see this - effects such as this that are based on the Dereth clock (the fog comes up in the evening and dissipates during daytime) - fog only in swampy areas and near water. One feature that could be added right away is no fog effect inside dungeons. I usually turn it off when I go inside, it's not a 'realistic' effect indoors.
And down the road, with this new Decal functionality we could perhaps see all water in the game made over with new textures (read: nice textures, not the current ones that I cannot stand to keep in my view in-game)
I look at SkunkVision as just a taste of what is possible with Decal now. Thanks for the appetizer!
