Whee, that was fun:

- the game does not use any UV maps any more causing the textures to be completely misaligned and ships to be transparent in some parts

- I have no control over flight speed anymore (i'm flying at maximum thrust all the time)

- The game will not accept any primary weapons anymore.

- I don't see any slightest thing that'd have to do with what youre talking about

HT&L doesn't seem to make a difference either, nothing happens :)

totaly forked?

I notised the thrust problem, I thought it was just a problem with my stick becase it just started to happen for no reason...

at what point does the UV get screwed up? imediately or after some time of playing

the primary weapon thing is that in the loadout screen? or what do you mean?

no primary weapon will be there - its always set to

the UV map is always messed up. If you look at the ulysses it has a transparent cockpit and the cockpit is somewhere on the left wing. The medusa has its missile pods on the back of its wings. The Zeus consists of 2 wings and an invisible hull. The fenris has a white triangle on its back and invisible dots all over.

Bah, whatever. Just as long as he doesn't commit it and fill the CVS with bugs, or include it in any latest builds.

Bobboau, as cool as this is, we're really supposed to be focusing on bugs.  If we keep adding bugs as fast as we remove them, we'll never get 3.6 released. :sigh:

Title: decals take 3
Post by: Bobboau on December 15, 2003, 07:19:47 pm

neither this nor the n-patch test, will be included in 3.6

Title: decals take 3
Post by: Goober5000 on December 16, 2003, 12:55:56 am

But it's where we're concentrating our effort.  If you're adding new features, even if you're not CVSing them, you're spending effort that could otherwise be put to use tracking down bugs.

Believe me, I want to add stuff too, but I'm trying to focus on getting bugs squashed so we can get the freeze lifted.  If I start adding stuff I'll get distracted, so I just make notes to myself.

I just had a thought 'hey, I could use texture clamping, and just copy the polies directly', so while I had the idea fresh I spent four hours implementing it

Well Goober, you gotta agree that everyone wants to get bugs sorted out, but we also want to be seeing new stuff... even if it is from only one of the programmers. And that would be Bob!!

Post by: Lightspeed on December 16, 2003, 04:30:57 pm

and 3.6 needs new multi code anyway :D

So bob.. could you describe the intended effect for us?

Post by: Bobboau on December 16, 2003, 08:58:15 pm

you know damage decals, you shoot a ship it leaves a scorch mark

Title: decals take 3
Post by: Flipside on December 17, 2003, 02:40:51 pm

I saw those marks on the ships, it looked pretty good, if a tiny bit wierd, but then it was a WIP :)
