Is the goal behind the images in the spoiler tag to make them not take up so much space? If so, you might want to consider using the [hidden text=label] tag instead.

Re: Star Fox: Event Horizon for FSO
Undying Nephalim, I am impressed with your work. I seem to recall that Starfox: Shadows of Lylat, which was over on Game Warden and died, did an asset dump and they even had the Starfox style targeting reticle that followed the nose of the Arwing. Have you looked at their assets?

This has, in fact, been brought up before; the reticle is scripted and figuring out how to make it work is apparently tricky.

Re: Star Fox: Event Horizon for FSO
Their method of doing the reticle was pretty clever. There's basically three separate ships that use the reticle sprites, and a script runs in the background that keeps them in relative positions in front of the player's craft. It's easy enough to replicate.... the only problem is their script does not seem to run on any mission file other then the few they created in their asset dump. Same thing with their corridor level scripts, no one seems to have any idea how the level triggers and runs the scripts.

 
Re: Star Fox: Event Horizon for FSO
Damn... Well, all in all that's a minor thing. The look and feel of the player ships, the friendlies, the enemies, and the environments is more important. My only other idea would involve being able to have collisionless subobjects on a craft that is not in and of itself collisionless, and have the reticle actually attached to the model, but the work involved, and the issues modders would have in adding new player ships or making enemy ships player flyable...

Did you try the tips I gave you earlier ? From this post and the following. The main thing is the mission file need some variables. Without the correct variable, it won't work.

Not sure how I missed that post, I even posted right after it.  :lol:
I'll try that out as soon as I have some time to come back to working on this.

I've not had any time to work on this since the last release, my other big mod (which I've begun porting to a new engine) and my day job are soaking up all my time.  :(

Re: Star Fox: Event Horizon for FSO
Quite understandable.

I would be quite interested to know in the future on the other hand if you can port the shadows of lylat on rails script metal destroyer was referring to into event horizon. If it works, it might give you the possibility to capture everything star fox was.
