Sorry to bump this AGAIN, but I was flying Phreak's latest build (2003/10/04) and noticed that this feature was implimented. The ship ani in the ship select screen has been replaced by the rotating pof from the tech room. Now, this differs from the ani in that there is no green grid (so no glow reflecting off the ship's hull), the ship rotates slower than in the ani, and there isn't that thing where the ship starts out being scanned in in a top-down perspective, then transitions to the rotating profile. Now, we don't NEED these kind of additions and I don't know if any of you have plans to add these changes in, or even if its possible to do some of them, but at present the scan sound is still being implimented. I'd just like to know, if you have no plans to make said changes, or know they would be too hard or impossible to do, could you remove the scanning sound from the code... or would that screw up the display in the loadout screen too?
GE (or GalEmp), this new feature could save you a lot of ani work for the Port SCP edition.
Later!
