Goober:
INF builds bump limits to the z buffer and texture amounts per sub object that aren't ib standard builds as the coders wouldn't allow them to be. Will these still be a problem? I know some people use the increased texture amounts though I don't think we do ourselves now.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is still disallowed because it degrades performance.  That's more a taylor question though.  The z buffer limit might be allowed.

[Woomeister]

Well the z-buffer is more of an issue, can't have the Gargant disappearing from a distance
But if these can't be resolved, then we still need INF Builds.

[asyikarea51]

Well that's your fault. As far as I know there's nothing released currently that requires an Inferno build, so you shouldn't be using them on a FS2 install.

INF SCP is standalone and so won't interfere with your FS2 retail pilot files.

Nah, I was doing some troubleshooting on my own mod (don't ask; it's a real mish-mash of things already available ), and I was trying out different builds. I'm using a regular build for normal game play. I still have my pilot files for the standard exe, so it's not much of a problem.

[Mobius]

Inferno is safe,right?

[Snail]

Inferno SCP will require you to create a new pilot file because it's standalone, right?

[Woomeister]

Yeah. I'd suggest a seperate pilot for Alliance/mods if you ever run it on top of INF SCP as well.

[Snail]

When can we expect a release? ( )

[Dark Hunter]

Three or four years, at current rate of progress.



j/k

[Snail]

If you're talking INF SCP, I was thinking around 2020.
If you're talking INF: A, I had it noted on my calendar at around December 11th 2012?

[Dark Hunter]

Despite myself, I have confidence in Alliance being released soon. Woo said it's in testing now, so doesn't that mean that its kinda out of his hands?

[Snail]

Q: Who's testing it?
A: The Testers, of course!
Q: What testers?
A: Qwer, of course!
Q: Where's he?
A: Um....

(hint, hint, Qwer, show up soon)

[asyikarea51]

It's probably fat hope, but I am hoping something playable is released by the year's end...

But I'm still disturbed by the fact that the SOC isn't autonomous anymore.

[Woomeister]

Qwers already done the first test and found it to be bug free on INF SCP. I want to run through it next on INF SCP then debug it on SCP standard. I'll let volunteer testers do the main testing for SCP standard.

[Snail]

So can we expect an October release? Or Christmas? Or next summer?

[Woomeister]

When it's done.
 

[Snail]

I bet with my friend you'd say that.

[Woomeister]

Well I'm testing it right now with INF SCP on my laptop using 3.6.9 RC 7.

[Snail]

Will Alliance use .dds?

[asyikarea51]

Question.

Does anyone know how many slots did R1 occupy? How much room do I have on a stock build if I want to add new ships?

And in other news, the Gorgon is really getting on my nerves... 

EDIT: And how many hitpoints does the planet have anyway?! I pressed and held Tlide+Alt+K for like, forever, but it keeps getting stuck at 100... I had to self-destruct the thing if I wanted it to die

[Snail]

Um... do the cheat that does 10% damage and not 100,000 hits damage.
