Title: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Colonol Dekker on July 08, 2009, 03:55:12 am: Impossible. I've said too much already. . People who attend meets get advance previews of 3.11. And geomod.

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on July 08, 2009, 04:08:56 am: GeoMod? That's a Red Faction feature. :wtf:

Post by: Snail on July 08, 2009, 06:23:12 am: Geomod, when applied to FreeSpace, theoretically allows you to blow holes in ships.

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on July 08, 2009, 06:30:08 am: I'd like to see that in action. ;7
Title: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Reprobator on July 08, 2009, 07:08:14 am: Oh yes! that would be awesome!
But something a bit more advanced would been really cool :
Dividing hull in subobject, each subobjet would have their own property like :
-Hp
-Bending property

depending on those two value you would have a bending or a breaking effect on the ship's part.

Ive seen what SoL can do, I'm ready to believe anything can come out of FSO now.

True that

(Though it might take an other 6 years :p)

Post by: Droid803 on July 08, 2009, 11:43:21 am: You can 'Hack' geomod with a whole load of destructible susbsystems.
Title: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Colonol Dekker on July 08, 2009, 11:53:07 am: That would be awkward to model and add a load of crap to each table entry too. ;)
Title: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Droid803 on July 08, 2009, 11:58:44 am: True that. Which is why it's more of a hack :P
Title: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Narvi on July 08, 2009, 12:01:33 pm: It would be kind of hard to implement anyway. How would it work? Would you have to design each ship with a destruction blueprint, or would you just show random parts for the hull you blow off?
Title: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Droid803 on July 08, 2009, 12:03:00 pm: It'd eat a whole ****load of polies too, since you'd need to model every inside.

Post by: Galemp on July 08, 2009, 05:50:47 pm: There's a reason why nobody has upgraded the Boadicea.
Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: ssmit132 on July 09, 2009, 03:44:12 am: If we don't update the Boadicea asteroid itself, we could at least have the HTL Iceni in the middle.
Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Reprobator on July 09, 2009, 06:09:07 am: I know that it won't happen,i was just dreaming awaken (spelling? ) :p
Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: dragonsniper on July 09, 2009, 06:20:59 am: It'd be cool to see though.

I don't think it's as easy as it would seem.

Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Droid803 on July 09, 2009, 01:50:57 pm: Well, it seems to me like all you need to do is get the HTL Iecni and then import the subsystems over top using PCS2...
Right?

I assumed if it was that easy someone would have done it the day after the original was released.

Never assume! It makes an ASS out of U and ME :) (ASS/U/ME)

But I guess it SHOULD be harder than just this ;7

Uh... no, the ass is only out of anything if you cut it up like that. And even then you're misspelling 'you'. Also, I hate that stupid saying, and wish it would die. :P

Post by: jkalltheway on July 10, 2009, 12:21:09 am: It sounds insanely difficult to do... and yet if it happens, thats why it would be THAT MUCH MORE EPIC

(is indeed talking about blowing holes and bending.)
Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Killer Whale on July 10, 2009, 01:03:47 am: I assume ^ is talking about the bending and blowing holes in ships, not a HTL Broadicea
Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Galemp on July 10, 2009, 01:53:54 am: The closest you'll probably get is the high-poly Hecate (thanks to yours truly) since all the turrets, glowpoints, and engine glows have to stay on permanent geometry.

I stand by my earlier statement.
Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: S-99 on July 10, 2009, 07:22:22 pm: Nah, we should just opt for damaged looking low-res textures for all ships. Near 20% hull integrity, and you go from looking like an htl herc 2 to retail herc 2.
Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Colonol Dekker on July 10, 2009, 07:50:08 pm: For all we know, Decals could be in the works.. ALthough there are Damage decal references in the tables somewhere already i think. :o
Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Dragon on July 10, 2009, 07:54:25 pm: It is, but as a dummy, only used for backward compatibility.
Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: Colonol Dekker on July 10, 2009, 07:56:34 pm: Then we must work towards active battle scarring......Persistant scorch-marks............And ......................umm.

Suggestions?
Title: Re: GeoMod!!!!!11
Post by: S-99 on July 10, 2009, 07:57:14 pm: Rofl, damage decals suck. I did test out the damage decals back in 3.6.7. They just didn't look good. Something simpler like ships just emitting fluffy sparks when they get hit was better.

Post by: Aardwolf on July 13, 2009, 04:03:35 pm: No.

I'd also like to see some persistent scarring, actually. But preferably without being dependent on GLSL, because my lappy sucks.
