jdj: mean the node? It's costing us 10 FPS at least.....

Icefire: merged it with the code, code got fubared, rolled code back, waited for 3.6.......

What happened to Sticks' (IIRC) 'overburn' effect?

Yeah, it's cool, but not for all things that are on the screen

No, I mean the changing it around partand making it look different... fix it, but don't make it glow or anything

if your going to make it a modal, let the moder descide which one to use.  I thought that was the goal of FSO.

Why would anyone want a cooler looking node? It's simply a HUD display that shows the pilot the position and boundaries of the node. How cool it looks is irrelevant.

Because it would look, well, cooler?

I'd like to see someone make an ordinary node model though...

i'd like to see what people come up with before i pass judgement.

look it's a technical issue, the model has to be made out of triangles the exsisting one isn't a new one is needed, it's a HUD display, wooptie, I guess that somehow makes no one make any evaluations of it on terms of asthetics, becase by some law of he universe if they did all matter within a fourty kilometer radius would colapse in on there heads.

we _NEED_ (need: the state of requiering, non optional, must happen) a new one, I figured I would give people a chance to make a new one that looks better, if were going to make a new one, why not try to make it look cooler/better?

why are people fighting this like it's some sort of important thing?

[Blaise Russel]

Because they like the old one and don't want it changed to something else? 'Cause, you know, it wouldn't really be Freespacey?

I say make a new node, but keep it the same as the old one.

[Bobboau]

the nodes from fs1 and fs2 look totaly diferent, I'm asking from something that would fit in with the level of diversity shown as cannon

and it can't look exactly the same becase as I said, the old one is mad eout of sevral more than 3 sided polygons, and that's a no.
