Phreak probably needs to take a look at this

I needed to know the storyline of Warzone, so I cheated my way through it. In one mission I cloaked myself, but never uncloaked. The next few missions various other ships were cloaked...Delta 1...A Seraphim...even a Ravana. They were all targetable, and weren't really cloaked, they just had the texure. Bug?

Although that screenshot looks cool. :D

I didn't say it wasn't the most totally awesome bug ever.:D After that went down, a Rakshasha resumed the cloaking bug.

uh, phreak, how exactly did you implement the cloaking with reference to polygon drawing-order? Ideally, ships should be drawn back to front and polygons in individual ships front-to-back (since you don't wanna see the back of the ship through the front, you just want it transparent), but I'm guessing that the draw-order is more or less random. Am I right?

Warzone never looked so cool :)

Let me know if you have questions on the story.  I still think I remember what I was smoking at the time :)

for now i just kept it the way it is to try to get the effect working. but to change draw order when cloaked only took a few seconds

hmm... implementing this for DirectX might be tricky, since DirectX likes all the texture coordinates announced not on-spot like OpenGL (Even though DirectX 5 did support it, but it was horrendously slow).

can you access the texture matrix with d3d?

You couldn't - it's FSopen that allows it now.

hmmm, could procedural textures be implemented in FS2?  how long would that take?  I gather quite a while, but it's just a musing.

if nothing else, one could make a rather large .ani of a lightning thing.  I really don't know how the cloaking looks right now, outside of the screen shot, but picture this on a model:

1.  model = invisible
2.  lightning texture takes .pof shape
3.  couple seconds, model textures appear from 100% trans
4.  lightning texture overlayed on model texture for a bit
5.  lightning texture fades, think the Blizzard intro :)

or something like that, I might go whip that up in PSP8...
