If the weaponry exists in the tables it's a relatively easy matter to swap it in FRED.

Redrake was referring to the additional weaponry added during Season 2, which would manifest itself on our model by additional turrets, not simply by rearming the existing turrets.  Not sure who would be in a position to make that kind of change.

Ah. I was assuming you'd simply added the weapons when the model was built and just not given them anything particularly noticeable as a default weapon.

[Vidmaster]

I heared sb here is putting together a new version so you don't need the patch anymore.

REQUESTREQUESTREQUESTREQUEST:
There is a landscape1.pof in TB-Core. I had to make a mod (better: Orph made it) to get it into FRED to work with it.
Would it be possible to reactivate that model ?

do you know what the problem with gliding/sliding is ??

I just dont have enough fingers on my left hand to use the keys!!!

[Steel Prophet]

Maybe a toggle for the thrusters, like the one for gliding, would be good to solve your problem

[Skullar]

You know something ? I would like to have a thread called "Optimal playing with mouse and keyboard"

currently I use WSAD as "max speed, zero speed , afterburning , and 'nose up' "
Q for next hostile , E for escort....

Perhaps I use E for this gliding thingy ??? Ah hell, if joysticks didn't break after some time....

I bound them to my hat switch since I never really use it to do the free look stuff.  It would be nice if I could do something like hat switch for glide, shift-hat for free look, ctrl-hat for thrusters.  No toggle necessary for glide that way.  Wonder what binding it and leaving  glide on all the time would do???  Guess I have something to try later tonight.

You keep on moving in the direction you were facing when you turned the toggle on and can rotate your fighter in any direction, at least that's how i use it

[karajorma]

That might change in the next version

[Steel Prophet]

How?   

[karajorma]

Changes to the glide code. Thrusters work properly now for one thing.

You can already see those changes in Beyond the Red Line and you'll see them in TBP pretty soon I suspect.

Though not entirely off topic, I think it would be cool to implement a code that offered offered more than one warp effect as there are several types of hyperspace exits and entrances (the Shadows just phase in and out and the Walkers create this lightning storm instead of using normal jump points).

Also, is there a way to implement more advanced animations for characters/pilots?  Like, say when interactive 3D cockpits become more streamlined, when you press the button to toggle shields, the pilot's arm stretches out and presses whatever buttons to make said changes?

Likewise, if possible, what about the possibilities of adding character animations for say mobile suits like Robotech or Gundam?

I love those.

[karajorma]

The patch changed gameplay in BtRL a fair bit. I imagine it will have a nice effect on the EA ships too.

[Vidmaster]

sure it will have and I will love it. Starfuries are supposed to be able to outmanouver most fighters, but currently, it doesn't happen very often.

It's a pity that the AI cannot glide, that would increase their danger level in BtrL (and then in TBP too, of course.)
