We'll get an achievement if we scan them all right? Or is that required to get the true ending of the campaign?!

You joke, but now I'm wondering how exactly one would implement Achievements in the currently existing engine. A medal would seem to be the easiest way to do it, but I'm also thinking of maybe having it unlock things for the rest of the campaign.

Scripting, I'm sure it'd even let you display an animated "toast" when they're unlocked    And then create a mainhall button linked to a script to display all the achievements... and write per-pilot data on the status of each achievement... (tooooo muuuuuuuuuch wooooooork)

That's what I figured. Sadfaec

Forget scripting, you can probably do most of it with simple sexps and campaign-persistent variables, and maybe a few custom hud gauges if you're feeling fancy.

Axem needs more projects.

Axem, we need you to create an achievement interface system we can use with mainhalls.

I actually seem to remember Procyon Insurgency pretty much did exactly that.

It looks a little crap, but I've made a title card for the campaign. What do you guys think?

Put some nebula background there god dammit

[Black Wolf]

Or at least starfield.pof

[RyuHimora]

Is this better? I also moved the ships so the sun is behind the camera.

Did you use starfield.pof? It's hard to tell in the second picture.

If you go into the background editor, there's a spot for a skybox model. Type "starfield.pof" into the text field, leave the editor, then save the mission and the new background will load from the media VPs. It looks much better than the engine-generated stars.

I'll use that for future versions, thanks.

Altair IV is looking particularly destroyed this mission:
