To Santa:
Hey there Santa! I know im not Christian and all, but still, since everyone else is writing wish lists to you, might as well submit mine! There's nothing wrong with jumping on the bandwagon right? Fortunately, none of my wishes are physical in nature, but relate more to something known as the Source Code Project hosted on Hard light productions. If you dont know about it already, it's the coolest forums in existance! Although there is a bit of debate going on here and there, the people on it are mostly nice and helpfull, unlike most other nasty places out there (except for Carl - be carefull when moving around in the vents!! Give him some christmas presents and he'll be happy tho!)
Anyways; onto the list. It isn't much, since I'm aware you're quite busy. That's not a problem, at least give the SCP folks a bit of free time or even some inspiration and they should be able to figure it out!
ze list:
1. A new 'character' tag in FRED2_Open. It would automatically make the ship ai-gaurdian, beam-protect it and generally make it a "no-no" target for other enemies. It would also be able to tie a specific persona to that person, and all messages that are linked to it would use that ani only, as opposed to whatever ani is in the message list. It would also mean that the AI is smart! But I know that the FS2 AI code is crap, so instead just having the thing stick close to Alpha 1 and cover him by default should do. I know its possible already...but still, tying it all into one function would be nice, and save up on a lot of SexPs!
2. Sexps! I almost forgot! Is there anyway to increase the sexp limit Santa? I keep on running out of them for some reason! And then FRED gives me this nasty crash, making me loose hours worth of data! I know, I know, I should save more often, but still...the improved limit ought to be worth it!
3. Oh santa! I must beg you for this! Can you PLEASE fix the briefing icons in FRED? I got three missions that are stuck in the pipeline coz I can't give them proper briefings! It's been broken all the way since FRED2_Open was created, and I dont know how the others managed to make theirs! The new 3.6.5 doesn't seem to fix this either! Oh when can I make my missions santa, when?!
4. Maybe a 'BOE' option when >90 ships are present, which would force all models to go to Lod2 by default or something! It would allow for massive battles, not to mention huge beamz volleys!!
I know its only three requests, but I hope you can help me with all this, especially the third. I eagerly wait what you may bring to me by christmas. I understand if you can't bring everything but still....one can wish right?
Thanks and regards,
Singh

Where were you yesterday at 1800 GMT? :lol:
-
:lol:
-
Turambar wants normal maps/bump maps for christmas!
whichever one is easier to implement.
that, and Battle For Middle Earth
-
*gives Singh a lump of coal*
...well at least you can burn it and stay warm :nervous:
-
I want pixle shaders.
@ T Battle for middle earth sucks. Its pretty, but the gameplay blows. Combat is dumbed down, you have to rely on stupid powerups and overpowering swarms to win. There is no real strategy. Try somthing like Total War if you really want to have fun.
-
Drew, I think you owe my bubble an apology
-
get homeworld 2 if yo uwant some hardcore strategy :) its not about how many ships you have, its about what they can do! :D
-
normal&bump maps
-
The engine glow bug to be fixed.
And a new power supply, so I can play fs2_open. :p
-
I have an old 100w'er if you want it :p

I want *NOT GONNA HAPPEN*
-
i want bloody envmaps
-
'Scuse me being myself, but are particle glows or whatever, like damage, already luminent or whatever is that ****ing **** called?

That would look so cool for a Halowe'en themed campaign. ;)
-
envmaps = environment mapping?
its SUPPOSED to be implemented, but it doesnt work.
-
geomod
envmaps
shadows
intergame supspace jumps (with controlls so you can tell wingmen where to jump to)
just stuff like that.... :D PLEASE????? :D
-
eh, people, environment mapping is working.
-
Envmapping works fine, shadows looked good, but were a serious system drain, particles and stuff are being looked at iirc.
Bump maps etc are going to have to wait, I think, the texture system is straining at the seams anyway.
That's the situation as far as I'm aware of it anyway :)
-
yeah, those shadows on a hi-poly fenris slowed down even my 6800gt to like 45fps thats why we need normal maps,
in the meantime, i want that pretty looking new hecate under my tree
-
oh yea... high polly everything!!!!!! :D
-
i want shines to work on my ****ing radeon 9000
-
I want a new game engine.
-
You know what also would be cool?
A mother board with SLI and 2 nvidia cards. I would really like that.
And while I am at it, I would like 2 Porsches, and a year paid off of work.... :rolleyes:

Sure. Tell that to the frickin' eleven-plus Vaygar Battlecruisers I'm facing in Thaddis Sabah, with only my Dreadnaught and one Battlecruiser of my own, two Destroyers, and three Torpedo Frigates. *&)^ game punishes you for doing well and keeping your fleet intact.
-
Decals (? what's their current status ?)
Overexposure (Is Sticks sitll on it?)
-
I only had one wish:
New FRED Open with fixed most of bugs 3.5.5 version
-
What I want to find under the ChristmasTree is Natalie Portman wearing nothing but a big red bow.

I suggest you go ask kazan about the ferrium project then :P
My Xmas Wishlist:
(ubermetroid i think these are what you are looking for)
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Nforce 4 Motherboard to go with my Athlon 64 3500+
1gb Corsair XFS DDR400 CL2 Memory
2 x Geforce FX6800GT's
Oh and Full SLI support in FS2 Open hehehe ;7 ;7 ;7
*Dreaming*
-
losers.
i really want a Gibson SG Angus Young Signature.
-
I want to fully control the camera through FRED! Just being able to make the camera face something rather being forced to make the entire ship face something.
Or a pony. The GTC Equine!
Either or. I'm not picky.
