Hmmm, you mean in-game stuff?  Or FS-type render tutorials?

[delta_7890]

How about a missile with an explosion ani that explodes outward, and then the enregy released implodes on itself    A shield ani that sparks electricity when hit intead of having that bubble look to it.  Perhaps flak cannons that tear holes in subspace, or a new explosion ani for the Meson bomb to demonstrate just how powerful it is.  Hrm...hears a thought, is it possible to make a mobile background?  Just some strange thoughts off the top of my head.

all that would be possible in a way or another, if there wasn't that stupid limit: you can add only one or two more explosions ani.

I still think a hack could be made that allows the artist to place glow maps anywhere on the ship.

That would be pretty useful.  And removing the polygon limit, adding support for pixel/vertex shaders, larger texture maps, 32bit texture support..

err...ill stop now.

[Nico]

a hack that prevents some limits could be cool. There's a limit of 32 glows per ship, which is annoying. Increasing polycount would lead to stack overflows, but with the actual computers, the FS2 engine could deal with much more bitmap effects than it actually does.

FS-type render tutorials!!! Yes...Though I would show you how to do animations for new FX like...

A shield ani that sparks electricity when hit intead of having that bubble look to it. Perhaps flak cannons that tear holes in subspace

But that would take a week to 3 weeks just to make a tutorial and it would use serveral programs...and to cut it short I just don't have that time!!!:p

So I'm sticking with render tuts...so state what ya want (FX)??

If I knew, they would already be created.

[Xelion]

Funny....

THE HARD LIGHT ARRAY. Always makes you say wow.

[Xelion]

Most of those are US based though - MacDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut are the only ones to come to the UK as far as I know... and of those MacDonalds is much worse than the other two.

Are you jocking? I went in england once, in one of their pizza fastfoods... I almost died.

[Xelion]

I live in Australia and most of the Take Away foods are fine, it really depends upon who makes....whether they have clean hands or dirty...

Anyhow as this is my topic I would like to get back to it...but if you wish to reply to the TakeAway thingy you can but please try to stay with topic. (eg. like a burger jumping through subspace)

I know, I've heard of the rumored service of US fast food places and how it's actually fast - but having never been there I have low standards
