Uh bengal, I honestly think we should keep that trail. It looks quite nice when not up that close, and if you do manage to get that close to it in the thick of battle, you're likely already dead anyway. 

[Droid803]

Ugh no. The fewer things using SSL trail the better.
Diversity is good.

[shiv]

I'd change the model texture. Honestly, it doesn't look good right now.

[Hellstryker]

I don't think you guys realize how small all this looks from the cockpit.

[BengalTiger]

Good point Hellstryker...

Here's a screenshot some 0.1-0.2 seconds after firing:



The pellets don't need a better texture- anyone seen paintings on 00-buckshot shots?

[Jadehawk]

I like it! Looks fine as it to me. 

[BengalTiger]

What is the most stable, easiest to use and fastest tool to generate .vp files?

[Getter Robo G]

BengalTiger, that screenie on the previous page is awesome...

Space Shotgun indeed.

[Titan]

we all know what that question means...

What is the most stable, easiest to use and fastest tool to generate .vp files?

I'd recommend Maja.  Others might disagree though.

[Aardwolf]

Those muzzle flashes (I think that's what I'm seeing) make me think of the bugs' Plasma in the original Starship Troopers (except orange)... I like it

Maybe you could make it more like that (possibly adjusting the trail as well). It was a cool effect in ST.

[shiv]

Oh yes. With coolness green/blue colour it might be Starship Troopers bugs weapon.

BTW maybe we can do Starship Troopers mod for FS2?

[BengalTiger]

The trail will be changed a bit, thanks for the suggestion...
And I'll try maja out as soon as I'm done with a few things for the university.

[Hellstryker]

Well, VPE just came out so you could always try that. I haven't tested it myself yet, though.

[BengalTiger]

If a team member who can FRED could report to the super-secret-forum ASAP, I'd be thankfull. Question & request waiting in appropriate thread there.

Once we get this last bugger solved, the intro is officially ready by the way.

[ssmit132]

That's great. Something else to look forward to after GalCiv2.

[Jadehawk]

I replied in the Super Secret place.

[BengalTiger]

OK, there's this little quiz for today:

When I create the campaign file with the 3 missions of the Intro, my ship has no weapons.

I already allowed all needed weapons using the "Initial status" tab, but that doesn't fix the problem...

If any FREDder from outside of the team will figure this out here before the members do, I have a 'cookie' waiting.

[Droid803]

Did you check it in the initial status for the campaign AND the mission?

[BengalTiger]

Looks like blowfish will fix it...

Officially- release before next Friday.
