Title: sprites?
Post by: Nico on October 14, 2003, 04:20:30 pm: How difficult would it be to have integrated sprites in the game?
Well, they're already ingame, I suppose the debris thinguys to simulate the motion of your ship are sprites, so, what about a custom field ( lusing the same setup windows as the asteroid field ), but using custom sprites ( pcx pics ) instead? would be cool for a lot of things.

Post by: Kazan on October 15, 2003, 02:16:50 am: um venom... we don't always see posts

take a chill pill

wait for one of the GFX people to see it

we are working on a lot of stuff and cannot hoover on the forums every second - it's hard enough to hoover over our own threads and work at the same time

Post by: Goober5000 on October 15, 2003, 02:18:08 am: Venom, please don't take our lack of response negatively. Not everybody frequents this forum every day, and keep in mind that a huge number of threads have been posted in the past few days. I'm sure that whoever has knowledge about this will respond as soon as they have a chance.

you're insulting my intelligence.

I confirm what I said above, I won't check this forum anymore. Not that it won't change anything anyway...

Post by: Stryke 9 on October 15, 2003, 03:36:40 am: Dammit Venom, you pull that one too many times and you'll spoil it for everybody! Maybe I should charge royalties, that'd keep you amateurs in line.

Post by: aldo_14 on October 15, 2003, 04:15:50 am: Er... are you alright there, Venom?
Title: sprites?
Post by: Bobboau on October 15, 2003, 07:35:13 am: yes this could be done, but I don't have the time to do it
if someone else wanted to do it the hardest part would probly be the interface in FRED, this would probly take a good two to three weeks to imlement.
I only have the time for one thing realy and that one thing is HT&L

Post by: Taristin on October 15, 2003, 07:48:11 am: Venom... You don't get a resonse in a day, so you leave? How many of us have had this happen to us? With all due respect, that's childish.

Post by: Nico on October 15, 2003, 10:04:19 am: I have my periods :p
Never had a day when you went to say "f*ck you" to everybody? well it happens all the time, live with it or ignore me.
Still with 30 views on the topic and at least 5 SCP dudes who were browsing the forum for 30 minutes when I posted that, I believe I could have at least expected something like "forget about it".
I'm not leaving HLP, for god's sake, but I've figured out that for now it's useless for me to post anything in that foruium ( ok, I stress: SCP forum, not HLP forum, geez ).
So I'm just gonna watch and say nothing, coz the result is the same.

Oh, and if pissing people was bothering me, Kaz, I'd have thrown myself from a bridge a long time ago ;)

Post by: Kazan on October 15, 2003, 10:28:05 am: you acting like that was bothering me because normally you're not like that, and I generally respect you - so you get the idea why is was annoyed

i was browsing and i didn't see it - i also wasn't looking at any threads other than mine at the time.

Yes, I heard about your ridiculous post count. That is a true accomplishment, you know, to have achieved that number of posts... I mean, you have more than me. :D

Post by: Setekh on October 15, 2003, 10:47:15 am: "Yeah, shut up... Venom! I mean, what kind of a name is that, anyway? Ubern00b! Yeah, you're an 00bern00b!!"

Oh, how little they know. :lol:
Title: sprites?
Post by: Nico on October 15, 2003, 10:49:52 am: Venom? yeah, that's kind of lame, I agree. Took that up when I was much youger, couldn't bother to change it. I happen to have two other nicks on other forums, tho :) ( not that they're much better, of course :p )

Title: sprites?
Post by: Fry_Day on October 17, 2003, 04:12:59 am: Actually drawing sprites has always been implemented. It's just that noone wants to create the interface for mission designers to add sprites (Glowpoints ARE sprites (albeit limited to additive blending), so that means modellers can already do some of the stuff).
Title: sprites?
Post by: Carl on October 17, 2003, 11:43:29 am: don't forget explosions, lasers, thruster glows ect. are also sprites.
