[FotG Update] Spring 2023

(1/3) > >>

wookieejedi:
It's been a few months since our last official forum update, so all of us at Fate of the Galaxy want to share what we have been working on (updated assets, better lighting, fixes/optimizations, and more).

Progress Highlights

* Added Skipray Blastboat (very large thanks to robear for sharing the model and also adding more textures for us!).   
* Added sensor probe from XWVM. Much thanks to FekLeyrTarg and terryb for sharing the model and texture.   
* Added a Cloakshape specific cockpit with extracted AO (thanks Limbert!).   
* Added updated sensor and defense satellites with new models and textures (thanks DarkVisor!). The previous models were sourced from somewhere and were ancient and not up to current standards, so it's great to finally have them updated.   
* Added separated cargo and containers for the BFF1 and new cargo container ship. Within FRED both can be mixed and matched to create more varied missions.   
* Added AO maps to Asteroids and Asteroid Base.   
* Updated EMP and damage arc widths and colors to better match actual effect colors.   
* Updated GR-75 so that cargo can be destroyed, just like the BFF1 and DV-3 Freighters (albeit the GR-75's cargo is harder to hit since it's better protected by the ship compared to those other freighters).   
* Updated most ship cockpits with AO separated maps (thanks Limbert!).   
* Updated some scripts with additional optimizations, including exiting hyperspace script.   
* Updated glow point script with new FSO options, which allows it to be more performant.   
* Updated FotG’s custom shaders with most recent FSO shader optimizations (thanks TheE!).   
* Updated Project Alderaan with many improvements, enhancements, balance tweaks, and fixes.   
* Fixed many, many other minor bugs, which would be far too long to list.   
Community Connections
We also would like to highlight all the fantastic work continually being done with FSO. Since our last update the FSO devs have released a new stable FSO version, and they continue to merge in updates and engine improvements from the FSO community. Just to name a few, TheE has highly optimized shader code to remove FSO lags when ships arrive, EatThePath’s work with his shader updates progresses steadily, Lafiel and Goober continue to add highly useful features to FSO, MjnMixael has authored many PRs to allow modders to further tune FSO to their needs, and taylor and Cyborg continue to monitor and support multiplayer for stability and improvements. Also, there’s many other devs adding great fixes, features, and other enhancements!

As always, thank everyone for all your support and enthusiasm! We are moving ever closer to completing our final milestones for a public release. Once those goals are met and polished, we will be extremely excited to share the game with everyone. In the meantime, here are some shiny screenshots. May the Force be with you!

Looking great! Been watching this project with great anticipation since I joined the forums many, many years ago.

So when will this be released? I get the impression that you are adding ships and stuff now that nobody will use in a near time. What are the final milestones you are talking about? For the last three years you are basically the only one posting here and if Disney continues to destroy the franchise, you should better release the mod before it is too late and nobody is interested anymore...

Most of the FOTG traffic and feedback happens on Discord these days.

Darius:
Considering the prequels, hot mess that they were, didn't kill off people's enjoyment of the original trilogy I highly doubt whatever's getting released nowadays is going to put people off Star Wars.
