ooooooooooooooh *drools*

yes, bump-mapping would be cool.  And "after 3.6" is getting closer every day.  You have to wonder the coders are excited for or dreading this momentous event

I'd suggest that one model be created that has both the saucer and drive sections in one, then have additional separate models created for the drive and saucer.  You'd use the single model version most of the time, but if you needed to separate as part of mission events, just give the unified version a specific departure time and location with no warp effect.  Then have the stardrive and saucer sections, docked together, arrive at exactly the same point, at exactly the departure time of the unified version, then tell them to undock right afterwords.  The only potential problem with this is transfering potential hull and subsystem dammage.

Later!

That's pretty much what I suggested except that I used the model replacement SEXP's for one of the models

It works but only if you know exactly where the ship will be.

Hmmm. What you could do however is use the get and set position SEXPs. Warp the ship in a million metres away and then bring it in that way.

y'know, this is just a suggestion, but, you could have the code-frozen SCP build, and "bob's personal tweaking Build" so you could just mess around with it and see what you'd be able to get working on it and whatnot..

Come to think of it... Why is it all these sci-fi games and movies/shows all have windows and glass cockpits? I would think they'd use viewscreens on the inside of a bit of armor plating, considering how easily one could blow thier way through glass with a missile...
I know, I know... asthetics... but it's still suicide.

"Gone, sir."
"Kahhhhhhhhhhhhhn!"

ok, so that was corny. I know.

specular glows....reflections...self-illumination....bump mapping...

Who needs Far Cry & Doom 3?
We have our SCP Wizzards...
B.t.w - I showed the guys at Bridge Commander, Starfleet Cammoan and Armada 2 forums the links to the best pics from the Star Trek project...
I allmost drowned in their drool...

[nerd mode on] When the people who designed the Enterprise D were doing the brainstorming, they actually wanted the Enterprise to do the separation EVERY time they had a battle.  This was eventually taken out when they realized how annoying (and expensive) it would be to do the separation every time.

Speaking of which.  I wonder why they bothered putting the Captain's Yacht on the Enterprise if they never planned to use it.

[Gregster2k]

Well...they used it in Star Trek: Insurrection -- of course -- =[COUGH]= that was on the Sovereign Class Enterprise-E, not the D. *starts looking for his collector's edition Enterprise-D schematics pack buried somewhere in his room*

Come to think of it, though, that would be a neat idea to have the Captain's Yacht as ANOTHER docked component...for missions that require the use of it.

WOW

[Omniscaper]

I'm so itching for this. Word has it that the first week of June will be D-day. We shall see. It'll take time for me to put together new hardpoints and TBL's.










For those who have the first beta version of the Galaxy for Freespace2, review what I have done so for it, TBL and hardpointing, and offer suggestions or even assistance for its transplant into Freespace.

Hot diggity...

Hi everybody! Glad you like my work. It'll be out soon.

hehehe my first  welcome beam

[Bobboau]

there are some geometry issues you may want to look into, the pasard colectors (or what ever there called the necell tips) have way too many polys compaired with the rest of the ship, and the ass end could use a few more.

You forgot the full 'Welcome!' speech!;)

'Welcome to the Hard Light Productions Forums.  Exits are to your left, right and left rear.  The exit to your right rear is only a paint job on the wall.  Unfortunatly someone ate the keys so you will not be able to leave.  Under your seat you will find old sweet wrappers, broken FS2 models,oh and a flamethrower.  We however are out of naplam, so you'll have to use it to hit people over the head with.  In the event of an emergency there are plasma rifles stored in the forward weapons locker, but this can only be opened by an Admin, God, :V: or a hyperintelligent shade of the colour blue.  If for any reason you are crawling around in the duct work, the odds are you will encounter a Shivan.  They are hard to miss, what with the five arms and all.  If your lucky, it'll just be Carl.  You can tell him apart by the gold chain he wears.  Just give him your lunch and back VERY slowly.  If it's not Carl, well...  Please note that the control room is guarded by subspacial claymore mines.
Thank you for joining HLP and we hope you have a pleasent and productive stay.

Dang, I've been wanting to say that (or at least something like that) for a while.

I'm surprised that nobody's "upgraded" the beam, although it is fairly powerful in its simplicity. As for the speech, it's a living, growing thing, one that keeps being added to and built up - I can't wait to see the next version... and the next... and the next...
