Title: Rotational hyperspace
Post by: IPAndrews on January 20, 2009, 04:14:27 am: I saw someone mention rotational skybox code in one of the other forums and this reminded me of some work I did on a rotational hyperspace skybox for TBP. The skybox should actually be in the core vp. Possibly under the name newhyperspace.pof . Does anyone know if this works in 3.6.10?

So in rotational, you mean that it spins on axis, right?

Nah, srsly. That sounds cool. Would test it right now, but gotta head over to the uni.

The code wasn't going to be in the release version of 3.6.9 so there was no point. It did though work in Bobboau's rotational code test build so I'm surprised it doesn't work in 3.6.10. Maybe the code or the implementation has changed. It was a long shot anyway. No worries.

Post by: karajorma on February 14, 2009, 05:47:19 pm: So this is based on Bobboau's code? Excellent. I was beginning to wonder if that was gone forever. :) I'll take a look at your code tomorrow and see if I can get this into my branch tomorrow then. :)

Yes. Rotational sequnce's code was developed by Bobboau and also it is updated by guys from OpenSpace Softworks.

Is there any reason why OpenDNS thinks that's a phishing site...? :nervous:

Oh, the OpenSpace guys also seem to have fixed the muzzleflash bug. (http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/view.php?id=752)

Or at least I think they did. It's kinda hard to see in their trailers.

Still, the rotational submodels are more important right now.

In the case of the skybox in the TBP Final core it was indeed the dumb rotation thing.
