Aurora to 50 degrees magnetic latitude likely Saturday and Sunday

Thanks Kazan.  I'll be watching (nothing tonight)...very clear tho.

About two weeks ago we had a FANTASTIC one....covered the entire sky with dancing lights.

for thouse who are not useing PCS I pitty you, Kazan may be a jackass but he makes the best compilers and editors in the comunity

the old cob2fs and cob2pof were crapy with the spesifics of poly data (worse than my ability to link letters into words corectly), Kazan's compiler is nearly as good as V's own (just has a hard time with obseenly long and thin things)all models made by me are compiled and for the most part edited in PCS (engine glows and gun points are just too easy with MV's GUI) I have only rarly used the other compilers when I'm in a hurry and need to compile a model a bunch of times realy fast and don't care how it will perform in game (during construction) if you are for some reason still useing one of the old cob converters I strongly recomend you swich to PCS


and as for the topic......

...... I like the prety shiny lights

Enough with the name calling please

I don't get why you need space weather.  After all, it's pretty much all 'Lows at 4' K, Highs at 400, radiation warning and a chance of meteorite'.

just a difference: cob2pof will export smoothing datas, and PCS doesn't. And that sux a lot, dude.
(didn't try with the last version, tho)

how many times do i have to tell you - THAT'S NOT DOCUMENTED IN THE POF FORMAT

and i had gary beta testing my compiler also and he said nothing about it... so if you learn the file specs.. hex edit the files and find where thi data is then i can add it

[Kazan]

The GeoMagnetic storm reached G5 (extreme - top of the scale) levels this morning
it's currently at G4

it's going to be cloudy here until tommorow   so hopefully the KP values stay high enough

ok, I'm getting slightly pissed off there:
I don't givez a damn f*ck of what you say!!! I know what I see damnit! I converted my planet with PCS, it was a crappy piece of **** with visibles polygons, then I converted it, with cob2pof, and it lookd just fine, smoothed and all! And if, because you're so narrow minded, you don't believe me, here is the damn proof!!!:
   edit: oh, and I can't even make a line in Visual Basic so to tell you where to look at in a hex editor...
I don't say that' I'm a programmer, but you do. So show me.

"cob2pof will export smoothing datas, and PCS doesn't"

I've been doing almost nothing but terran models for the last four months, hadn't notesed that.

Kazan, It is in there some were

every time he's showed me pictures of the two different compilers side by side I have seen the same thing.. and i have a very descriminating eye

no.. im tired of bull**** out of the mouths of people that don't know what the ****  they were talking about

if it's not Ace ranting about how my installer and VP constructor screwed up his VP files only on _SOME_ computers (which isn't possible - they would work on all or not at all)

or

venom talking about 'smoothing' data that doesn't exist


i'm tired of bad PR from the mouths of unqaulified laymen that are suffering from massive ignorance and placebo effects

[Bobboau]

here are two diferent POFs identical but for the shading

looking at it in a hex editor I see a  repeting diference starting at offset 00000150
