Re: Starting a gunship (needs a name)
Fixed some terrible errors in the POF and discovered some truly disturbing things about FS.

Subsystem debris must appear before all other debris in the header or it will not appear when the sub is destroyed, instead acting like normal debris.
And, the coordinate system is screwed up in PCS2. I had to set the turret normal and uvec like this: http://i.imgur.com/0g2Wf.png to get the turret to rotate correctly.

Anyway, POF is fixed, shinemap is mostly done, normalmap is... preliminary. I did a normalmap directly from the shinemap and this is the result:









Noise needs to be reduced. Some parts need to be edited. Probably won't be that difficult, but I have exams coming up and can't work on it for a while.

Looks great!

And don't worry about PCS2 and multiparts turrets. Firing normals never work the way they should, but not an issue when using fvec and uvec.

Re: Starting a gunship (needs a name)
Meh. The HUD won't be released until it actually works.

1) The speed indicator is shaped differently than in FS2. IN FS2, the number that displays your speed always appears right next to it. This is hard-coded, and it doesn't fit with mine. The weapons percentage that displays under a certain percent does this too.

2) The size of the radar cannot be set, so for the purposes of drawing the little dots, the radar is still FS2 size, so they're all out of place.

3) the weapons gauge doesn't work at all. There's no way that I've found to set the distance between two entries, so they're all squashed together (see pic). This is more of a bug than a feature request since the tbl looks like it should be able to do this.

Thanks though! I've wanted a 1080p HUD for a long time. :D

[EDIT] just thought I'd post a pic that Hades might like


That's actually the beam firing

not a missile trail or something

[EDIT2] Here's a pic that people who are not Hades might like

A lot of it works and I could probably get some other stuff working as well, but those three are the main code-side impediments to finishing it up.

The gunship will be released (and probably named) after Finals are done, so expect it sometime next week. Still have some tweaking to do on the normal map.

Re: Starting a gunship (needs a name)
If you still want the engine subsystem in the armor skirt in the front, you should add an 'exhaust port' subsystem at the back of of ship where the engine subsystem would normally be.  Destroying the exhaust port would cause a small damage spike to the ship from containment failure and maybe slow it down a bit (can't focus the exhaust as well), but won't completely disable it.

That might eliminate or reduce the number of people thinking 'the engine subsystem isn't where it should be!'
