Destructable ships... that will be awesome... ships and warships that breaks apart when they start taking damage. That will be a huge step forward.

This is for MediaVPs requests, not code requests.
ups sorry, i just trought it will be cool to have something similar to Destruction 2.0 in BC2 or Red faction guerrilla itself.
but you right that code, no mediavps.

them, what about new visual interface's and menus graphics? The HUD graphics, briefing and all other in-game menus, tech room, weapons and ships selection interface's look old by now. That the first thing that my friends notices when i show the game to them for the first time.

3.6.14 will have a high-res HUD.

Hopefully we will finish all the HTL Shivan strikecraft in a timely fashion for the release of 3.6.14 MVPs. But as for smooth groups, animated glow maps, shine/env maps, and normal maps we will leave to you.

I think he was referring to the Stable Engine Release.

Though yes, the MediaVPs will support the HUD Overhaul code, though it's still being worked out how exactly.

Oh right, speaking of which, I should probably finish that resolution calculator that's sitting on my desktop. But only if you think it'll still be useful.

It would be highly useful. And it would get you into the credits, I'm sure. So please, I'd love a link.

How practical would it be to add nameplate spotlights to Terran capital ships a la Star Trek movies? They are often hard to see, or entirely unlit.

Fury · **Reply #66 on:** February 25, 2011, 07:50:45 am

Not a bad idea, but far better improvement would be to STOP using the STOP font. It's ugly, impractical and hard to read.

Black Wolf · **Reply #67 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:23:35 am

But it's as close to canon as we have, so...

Snail · **Reply #68 on:** February 25, 2011, 08:54:01 am

BankGothic would work equally well...

Luis Dias · **Reply #69 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:29:32 am

So... when is the release scheduled?

The Colossus has been finished for a while.

Awesome!

General Battuta · **Reply #71 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:32:44 am

The release isn't 'scheduled', the MediaVPs will be ready when they are ready and when 3.6.14 is also set to go.

Seems absolutely fair. Do you have any ideas when is it coming out? Next month? Next six months? Next year?

I would say 6 months to 1 year.

Kolgena · **Reply #74 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:43:32 am

I actually prefer the STOP font, since we do see it used on ships in cutscenes and such. (Of course, we're re-rendering those cutscenes, but STOP font on ship nameplates is almost a freespace trademark)

I'll get you guys the calculator some time before the release date of 6 months to 1 year. Actually, probably expect an update within the next month for triple head and FSPort. What's already done by Fury and I is posted in the Freespace Modding forum. (yes, that's stupidly long for an excel calc, but RL takes priority)

STOP font is only used on the Orion in-game...

Really?

* Zacam loads up all of the Nameplate DDS files used in game...

Well crap, that must be the GO font then. My bad.

Droid803 · **Reply #77 on:** February 25, 2011, 05:26:02 pm

I think he meant in Retail.
There were no nameplates except for the Orion ones in retail.
