That little project died when Mark went AWOL, Loko.

By the way, to anyone reading this... I'm hoping to make use of the FS community's higher resolution textures and models of existing FS stuff... Is there anywhere anyone can point me to for that?

I was just playing with Lightspeed's new weapon textures last night. Supa-spiffy!

MV_Models.vp will have the High Poly models. You'll want VPView to extract them of course but you've probably already got that.

Get it from here

Thanks for the resource... I'll open that VP up tonight and see what I can do :)

For everyone who'se watching for more screenshots, I should be able to post some new ones tonight of the current Alpha build. I've finally worked around some major errors, and am extremely close to where I can release a demo (and start the beta test, of course)...

(EDIT: UGH.. I hit "new topic" instead of "new post"... any mod want to move this into the Freespace RTS post? Thanks :P)

Mooreee Screenshots!

This is of the most recent build. I'm avoiding alot of combat shots atm, until I get that system looking as good as it can...

Armada 2 engines best way of doing it :(

edit- when looked at from afar and not from the side, it actually looks decent enough, but from the side...ya...
edit 2- vasudan, oops, missed that, but ya, its a sprite effect i believe that may be set a little bit too bright

Stalker, I've merged the "Screenshot love" thread you accidentally created into the main RTS mod thread. Also - great job, it looks really sweet. :// Kalfireth

Thanks for the feedback.

The engines look weird (and are, in some cases, dissapearing), due to the fact that the Armada engine wasn't designed to handle that many sprite emitters of the same "name" at the same time. I'm working on both an interim solution and a long-term solution to this issue:

Interim: Converting all the Sprite emitters into Lights. No more engine trails, but at least there will be engine glows...

Long-term: I've e-mailed the Armada 2 developers at Mad Doc Software, Inc. about releasing the sourcecode. I fowarded them to this site to see what a community is like when they have the sourcecode for their game to play with! :)

So, we'll see what happens. I'm testing the light engines tonight.

I... uh.. fixed the engine glow problem.

And I also discovered how many Myrmidons it takes to drop the framerate to 30 FPS on my 2.6/512/Radeon 8500 rig.

Woo...

(about 300 Myrs are spawned on the map I took this pic on)

On that note, if it did happen...well holy crap.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

As for the Vasudan battleship, get in touch with Stratcomm, ask for his Hedetet.  That should do the job quite nicely.

Actually the Hedetet is supposed to be a destroyer, but it may work in a pinch.  A vasudan juggernaut is something that's a bit hard to come by, since everyone serious about modeling has either stayed away from Vasudan designs or oversized designs in general.
