It has been decided ('twixt myself and karajorma, leastways) that in this contest you can choose any ship you want, and glowpoint it! The winner shall be the person who wins, and they shall win... the contest!

If there is a tie-breaker, then it will move on to general improvment of ships.

Maeglamor shall be the judge, whether he likes it or not.

Get your entries posted! They shall be accepted as pofs only, screenshots will not do!

Just no telling with some people, is there? I thought this would spark off great things, perhaps get more work done, SCP wise.

But, alas, the miserable buggers have chosen to ignore it.

I'll whip up a Ravana, once I'm back from the ladiezroom. Which won't be until sunday, apparently. ;7

put his up in modding as well, that might help you get some replies.

also, perhaps you should think of some extra award for those who win, dunno what.

perhaps, or even better, an pimp in FS2 Open, like, " is the winner of the glowpoint contest, look at his work here:" followed by a little techroom thingy. now i think of it,someone should make a part of the mainhall linking to a
"credits" section for this kinda stuff.

Yes.

Now does anyone have an entry, or am I going to have to hang myself in the barn?

I tried making a shippy wit glow points yesterday, but they dont like to show up.

first, i added them to a Mara, i added the glow points to the one thruster it already has, and it crashed both FRED and FS2, so then i added a new thruster, and gave it glow points, and they dont show up.  Then I tried what I did the first time, and there was no crashing or CTD's involved, but there was still no glowpoints.  what be i doin wrong? :confused:

oooh, look at all the smilies! :)  :p  :cool:  :mad2:  :sigh:  :shaking:  :blah:  :ha:

Wrong kind of glows anyway but the sound of it. We're talking glowpoints (as in only with FS2_open and either a recent copy of PCS or Aurora) and not engine glows (as in the bit the glows on the standard FS2 caps).

As for making normal ships with glows - I`ll give it a try later today or tomorrow.

Now now don't be so hasty.  Maybe some people are still working on thier ships to turn in.  You should leave this open a while longer.  In my opinion this is a great contest.

IDEA:  

Maybe you can drum some more people to do this if the winner of the contest gets to have his/her ship in the next major SCP FS2 release (3.6?) and his/her credits in the game/project?  It might make people feel like they can be more involved in the SCP who otherwise can't (maybe they can't code).

Yes.  We definitely could use the finals for FS2_OPEN 3.6.

I retract this statment. I got it to work somewhat (I'm stuck with win98) so as soon as I can learn how to do glowmapping I'll try.

So can we get a decision by the SCP people if they can let the winner have his ships in SCP 3.6 and their credits?

C'mon guys... I always see you guys talkin about texturing this and that and modelling this or that so there's gotta be someone out there who has an itch to work on glows!!!

Why not try it yourself? Glows are pretty easy. I picked up how to do it in about five minutes. Of course it takes longer to do them properly but I did have manage to make a version of my carrier which had blinking runway lights in about 30 mins the first time I tried it.

Unfortunately I`ve been busy and haven`t had a chance to try anything for this contest yet but I`ll give it a go and see what I come up with.
