Post by: phreak on August 04, 2004, 10:17:15 pm

It basically works. I didn't test it further because I'm dying of sleeplessness (ness ness ness).

Someone needs to make an orb model like the one in B5:IFH.

Hey!  Thats really cool!  Works fine, and is really easy to use.

Question though, where is there 2 FSO builds in that zip?  open_r runs the orbs, open_d does not, well, at least for me.

Running with these tags....

I stuck you in the news, btw. Thought it was about time that this forum and its cool products got a mention. :nod:

Hmm...maybe a hud.tbl file should come with the build that doesn't have the old radar display.
That's my 5 cents.

Excelent job BTW!

Just one problem Phreak, I couldn't remember the exact command line, so I just clicked on the "activate Orb radar" option in the launcher graphics tab, but the command line it generated was -orb_radar, which came up as unrecognized when I launched it.  After coming back here, I see that the command line is -orbradar without the "_", but you should change it so that the graphics tab option generates the correct command line.

Later!

For some reason, support ships will not rearm me in this build.  Check Mantis submission for more info.

No glitches that I can see, other than that "orb_radar"/"orbradar' thing.

Post by: Turambar on August 09, 2004, 05:21:19 pm

make the orb so that its fully visible, my only complaint is not beigh able to see things far away on the sides of my ship, and tracking blinking red dots is near impossible

otherwise it looks cool

Top one looks pretty neat. :D

You haven't been goofing off with the sun data files have you? ;)

Perhaps it's your 3d settings... :confused:

I'm using T-20040822 build right now but since this is orb radar code related i think better place to post it is here...

I noticed 2 minor issues in new ord radar code. First is huge radar dot scale-up. If i got it right there are 2 different scale factors. If you target something dot gets a bit larger and if ship is in front of you or behind, radar dot is smaller or larger. Problem is if your target is far behind you it's dot it about 3 times bigger than other dots. I guess problem should be solved if you first scale dots by distance and then add fixed number to radius of targetted ship's dot. ;)

Second issue is that with this new code radar background always resets to green color (exactly same way like the ping counter for multiplayer games). If you set it in mission on any color it stays like that only till end of mission and resets on green next one anyway. :sigh:

Otherwise this new radar is really nice, good job. :yes:

Well... and to not only moan in here i made orb radar friendly background you can use. Don't expect anything "cool" or "revolutionary" tho, i just removed the inner lines so orb radar is easier to read. :) You can download it here (http://svizel.kbx.cz/Fs2/radar_background.zip).

And finally here is screen with all mentioned above (huge radar dot, green background and new background image)
