I see that this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything recent.  Are there any concrete plans to bump up the number of asteroids in a field for 3.7?  I'm kind of amazed that the 256 limitation is still in place.  If there's a reason for this, beyond just system performance concerns, I would love to know it.  I've been trying to beef up my FS2/FSOpen historical knowledge since joining this board.

eventually, if i can, i plan on making a much more complete hazards (debris, asteroids, mines, etc) system

Damn, you're still here?

I was hoping I was the only one with the super avatar around.

[Kazan]

yeah.... the avatar ****ing pisses me off

[BlackDove]

Why? We're special. Nobody else has them, plus we're removed from all the forums that don't matter in the slightest anyway. It's like a favor. Even though I have been only monkeyed twice (this being the second time) and the rules stating that it'll only last a month when it's the second time, I think it's been five or six so far and I haven't complained. I dig it.

They get me to stop posting how people are morons, and I no longer feel compelled (it's a civil obligation when I am able) to let everyone know how stupid I think they are.

It's like a win-win.

Is that what the monkey means?  Huh.  I thought it was a personal preferrence or clan or something...

Say, while we're on the topic of upcoming releases of FSO...

Why exactly does my FSO installation take up almost 5 GB of harddrive space?

Mods, movies, and mediavps would be my guess.

Mine weighs in a 3.74 GB

WCSaga + BtRL + FSO folders = 8.25 GB (8,867,705,918 bytes)

And that's not counting the extra copies of BtRL I have lying around...

Goot idea.

Interesting...keep us updated!!!

[takashi]

but what does the monkey mean?

[BlackDove]

It means you're super-awesome.

[Vretsu]

but what does the monkey mean?

It has effectively the same connotation as your rather unfortunate custom title, only it's more of a visual thing. And of course, it is far, far cooler. Almost as cool as my new widescreen monitor, but not quite. I can type as much as I want and all the text remains on the same line! See? No matter how much drivel I edit into this post, it remains on the same line. Well, of course, you can't see it at all, really, unless you too have a 20'' flatscreen monitor. Anyone who's anyone has one, afterall.

Money well spent. Money well spent, indeed. It was either help the starving orphans, or go blind trying to read text on a 20'' widescreen monitor at max resolution.

I've only had this thing for twenty minutes, and my eyes are already permanently skewed to the left and right, respectively.

Being monkeyed is supposed to be a disciplinary thing...

You can't visit the stupid forums, that sort of thing

[Mobius]

None of the HLP boards is stupid.

But here, being stupid is the rule:

Steadfast Voice Acting ???
where did you get this one? i don't think we'll ever find so many people to voice-act that campaign...

For what concerns the asteroid field:
is it also possible to add single asteroids as ships?

That was the point!

Yeah, it's possible. You can place asteroids. In BSG:BtRL, there also are different types of asteroids you can use.

[Admiral Edivad]

how many?
do dey count as ships(-->max 100) or as waypoints(-->infinite number)?

[Mobius]

They count as "objects", that are ships anyway.
