I'm talking about what I know, you should have guessed by now that I was part of the Robotech mod team, so I'm not spitting random sentences from my ass
The destroyable turret thing was before the source got released, it was some tweak to simulate transformation. When the source went public, we got some coder ( don't remember his nick, sorry dude ) who made some code fr us, that transformation thing, for instance.

Dude, i'm talking about the key-pressed sexp, not the old build you refer to, i know that one worked, and that's why i'm asking if someone can implement this in the latest builds....

And nico is telling you that the code already exists and only needs to be merged with the current code

[Nico]

voilaaaa

Oh sure, there is only the problem that i DON'T KNOW how to do that....

Do you know how to program the code into the SCP to make the SEXP you want either?

If not leave it to the programmers to decide which approach is better

Of course no, i'm telling you, i'm no programmer, i don't have any idea of how to even touch the source code!! That's why i'm asking is someone who is able to is willing to work on that... why do you all suppose i should be able to program?

[karajorma]

I'm not I just annoys me when people use the rolleyes smiley without thinking things through

Nico was trying to say that there is no need for the SCP coders to spend ages working on a SEXP to do this because there already is a way to do it in the edited Robotech exe.
  The fact that the code exists to do what you want makes it much more likely that you'll find someone to do it for you since adding to FS2_open may only be a few minutes work.

Strangely enough you kept argueing against him which makes the likelyhood of this change you want more remote. I'm guessing you must have misunderstood what he was on about because I can't think of any other reason why you'd suggest something and then argue with someone who knows exactly how to make it happen

I wasn't argueing against anyone, especially Nico, you misunderstood me, i used the rolleyes (which are far from being an insult, i think) only because he was telling the same thing as me! The reason for me to ask for this implementation in the first place was, in fact, having seen that some time ago it was done the same by the RT mod...

[karajorma]

Make it more clear next time then and be more careful how you use the rolleyes smiley. It's a dangerous tool when misused

[Nico]

yeah: the smiley directed to me WILL piss me off, coz it sounds like " yeah, right, whatever ****tard" to me

I never meant to be offensive Nico, they are just smiley after all, Goober did use that on me only a few post before, but i didn't got pissed at all...

By the way, Nico, why is the Robotech mod dead? No one is willing to work on that anymore?

[karajorma]

In Goober's case you had made the mistake of not realising how the key-pressed SEXP works.

In the second case however the mistake of not being clear enough was yours so Nico didn't have any reason to feel he was wrong and offence was caused.

That's why I mean to be careful with it. You have to be pretty sure you're correct cause if you're wrong you will annoy someone.  Had Nico been wrong I sure he's big enough to have not taken offence.

I didn't made any mistake, i just didn't know how it worked, is that a fault? Btw i have made a search in the old posts and i've seen quite a lot of people had made the same wrong assumption, that the key-pressed worked only once, so i don't think i've said such a great blasphemy....

[karajorma]

I didn't say it was a big mistake

Smileys reflect what you say so people are not mistaken if you're being ironic ( being plain text w/o intonations ). Unless I've said something blatantly stupid, someone in real life who rolleyes at me can expect some beating ( unless they're really bigger than me ). That said I wasn't offended or anything, look, I didn't even have the time to reply then

As for RT, well, the first step is probably when Max Sterling left ( he started the whole thing ), then most people got stuck into real life problems/duties for some, school for others. There's also the fact it was a long, long developement. Probably one of the oldest campaigns, by then, and a TC, none the less. So everybody grew bored of it, I suppose. As for me, I moved because of study, and was overwhelmed with RL work. Then I started a campaign myself ( which died too ).

[ryuune75]

I see. So will it be possible to use some things from that mod for my Macross mod? The first thing that comes in mind are the face anims, they will be very useful for me.

[Nico]

Sure, but don't ask me, I don't have anything left of it save for some pofs. Aki ( Gortef ) should have the personnas, since he made them, for exemple.

[ryuune75]

I see, i'll ask him then, thanks!
