Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
There's a lot of this stuff in the Wanderer branch right now.  Most of it was at FotG's request.  We needed computer assisted targeting to make up for everything being so small and fast.  Basically, with the code in his branch (there is a build with it in Recent Builds, I'll probably put up another one within the week), you can have something like this:

Code: [Select]
$Name: BTL-A4 Y-Wing
+nocreate
$Autoaim FOV:                 5
+Converging Autoaim
+Minimum Distance:            100
$Convergence:
+Automatic
+Minimum Distance:            100

The FOV is the degrees for the autoaim 'cone', there is converging autoaim, or you can have the shots follow a parallel path by leaving that off, you can set a minimum distance for the convergence to be allowed, and then, supposedly if the Autoaim can't be achieved, it should fall back on a default convergence (I think there might be an issue with that currently).  This is all newer experimental code, but hopefully it should be cleaned up and in the main code within a few months after 3.6.10.  If you want to set a static convergence, you can but I don't remember the code for that right now.  You're probably more interested in the Autoaim FOV enhancements though anyway.  Cheers to Wanderer for this little enhancement.  Next, we're hoping to get the Primary Lock feature, so that it's not immediate but rather after a delay to acquire the lock (also definable per ship I hope).  We're also trying to come up with a unique way of presenting this lock info to the user, separate of the secondary lock mechanism.

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
Alright, I just ran the game from 3.6.10 debug, and I at least made it to the title screen. I had to tell it to ignore 4 errors. Then when loading the campaign, it hit me with one last error.

Actually, the Japanese voices were the only thing I didn't like, they go on and on. And I had no idea what they were talking about ;_;

Often the voice acting parts went longer than the combat missions. That was my only gripe with the game. They could have done all that talking during the fighting >_>

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
If you ran a debug build, there should be a log file in the \data\ folder. Posting that is usually a greater help when figuring out problems.

Are you running the MediaVPs 3.6.10?  The 3.6.8 ones throw quite a few warnings...

I don't understand Hex at all, so this stuff means pretty little to me. But if any of you guys understand it, have a blast.

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
Not the error log. Go to your fs2 folder. There is a folder called data in it. In that folder, you will find a file called fs2_open.log. Post that here.

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
Last post edited for new log. And yes, it is much more interesting.

You'll have excuse my noobishness, I've played Freespace for a long long time, but this is my first time really attempting to mod it or learn the nuts and bolts.

By the way, where should I start when beginning a project? I have a game plan written up, but as far as how I "Start" a mod, where should I begin? Models? Game code? Interface?

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
How much of it do you think you're going to be doing?  You probably won't need much code unless you're trying to do something pretty different from any existing behavior.  Models is always a good place, interface is usually not necessary unless you're doing a full total conversion.  Then, it can't hurt but you probably want to start on the gameplay with models, weapons and effects.

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
Yes, that's much better. Now, first off, you can make FS2 look a lot more awesome by using a few custom flags for lighting and so on. Also, your graphics card should be able to handle the shaders for added normal mapping goodness.
Second, there is something (a FreeSpace CD?) in your disk drive. Please remove that.

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
Yes, the files it found on drive F: could be causing issues.  Or it could be something wrong with Shivans, I don't know how stable that mod is in terms of debug warnings and such.  Also, I'm wondering why your shaders aren't already on.  You did not run the game with -no_glsl, so if the shaders were found, it should be using them.  The MediaVP files look like the current set, so my only other guess is that you're using a 3.6.10 build that is too old.  If so, get the RC2 build.  Shaders should just work then.

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
I just tried shivans! 0.21 with the regular RC2 build, and it worked just fine for me. The debug build did complain a few times, but it didn't crash.

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
Alright, I'm downloading RC2.

On the subject of my project, yes I plan on creating a full blown TC.

It shouldn't look anything like FS2 when finished.

I'll go ahead and past my Game-Plan from wordpad to give you guys an idea of what I'm shooting for.

Stellar Assault FSO
Game Plan

Ships:
Friendly:

Feather 1 - Playable (Interceptor)
Feather 2 - Playable (Space Superiority)
Feather 3 - Playable (Experimental)

Support Ship - NPC
Torpedo Bomber - NPC

Capitals:

Main Carrier - NPC
Light Cruiser - NPC
Destroyers - NPC

Enemy:

Easy - "Twin Claw"
Basic - "Tri Blade"
Improved - "Quad Cannon"
Advanced - "Piercer"
Space Superiority - "Delta Fluke"

Capitals:

Delmer - FF
Balsark - DD
Medelus - CA
Carvelus - BC (BB?)
Ganeluza - CV (EPIC SIZE!)

Others:

Acceleration Gate
Booster Ship


Civilian Vessels:

"Sail Ship" - Cruiseliner


Features:

Stellar Assault will focus on a simplified game design focusing on a story driven campaign with a variety of combat venues.
There will be three main things to worry about on the HUD:

Shield Strength   (Recharges, but drains the Main Energy with each    recharge...)
Main Energy Stores (Supplies both the weapons and Sheilds, the more the lasers, plasma missiles, & sheilds get drained, the more this runs out)
Targets (Displayed around the main target reticule. These function as normal in most Space Sims.)

The game will also feature Newtonian physics as well as Computer Assisted Targeting. Ships will "auto-glide" when the accelerator isn't held down. Enemy Squadrons and forces will be massive in number and will be set up so as to overwhelm the player's senses.

The game challenge will not focus on individual "Fighter Duels" but rather on survival and being able to prioritize targets while also managing the Shields and Main Energy. Hull strength is not very strong and the player may as well forfeit their life when shields are fully down.

Style:

The game will try to look as much like its predecessors as possible while also taking advantage of the graphical features of the FSO Engine and the PC in general.

The ships will be brightly colored and may very well be visible from very far. Because of the larger than normal number of enemies, Poly counts will be kept  as close to the original games as possible while making up for that with texturing.

All fighters have Capital-Ship killing capability. As a result, warfare in this distant future is Carrier Based, and destroying the enemy Carriers will be of paramount importance whenever possible.

While I do plan on creating a full campaign based on the Sega Saturn Campaign, emphasis will be based on multiplayer if possible.

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
Then i guess the first thing you should get working on is the modelling side of things. Models are, (for obvious reasons) the most visible part of your game, and the one thing that seems to draw the most attention.
And *ahem* that's a very ambitious project. Good Luck with it.

FREDding is what makes your game. Models are just parts of it.

Re: What can I do to change the game mechanics?
I can model, I can texture, and I can even script a bit. Tabling shouldn't be too hard to learn. And I attempted a bit of fredding a few years before FSO came out. To be brief, I have dabbled. Help from anyone with more experience is always welcome >_>
