This is FS2, not FS1 - the grimdark has expanded to a degree.

fixed

You should have used better tools because you obviously broke it

Battuta why are you such a troll

hrm, i admit i do need to consider you an authority on tools

[The E]

Wasn't there a rule about flaming other members?

Like, NOT TO?

WTF, Batman?

[chief1983]

Ah, the bonds formed in IRC know no bounds.

[General Battuta]

I like how I got to make a joke about 'tool' meaning 'penis' in this thread and 'member' meaning 'penis' in the other.

But hey man we're totally cool it's just some friendly ribbin' with my fellow broletarian

They should.

"We were just discussing the specifics of a particular hand-to-hand combat maneuver".

Yeah, whatever. Stow it. What happens on IRC should bloody well stay on IRC.

[Galemp]

Sorry for the ugly effects, but here's what I tried to explain : darken textures, but make some shiny green and red points, two glowing blue rectangles (floor and top) and a control tower with spotlights, like in an airport at night.

The fighterbays share a texture, but all that would be very simple to do using glowpoints.

This happens whenever subsystems are blown up, and they all seemingly occur at the ass of the ship.

Yeah, I'm almost positive this is a bounding box issue. See, the subsystems in question have their center set to the ship's center, so the bounding box is correspondingly huge, so the special effect is too. This'll be fixed.

[Ulala]

Looking fantastic as always Galemp. Excited to see the final product.

[Galemp]

LODs and debris are done. I have to make destroyed submodels for the major turrets now. Then, a Release Candidate POF for thorough testing and revision whilst I continue working on the textures.

[CommanderDJ]

Galemp iz r amazing.

[Dilmah G]

LODs and debris are done.

Good job, mate.

[Rodo]

will engines have destroyable submodels as well?

[Galemp]

Yes, as will the Weapons and Sensors subsystems.

[CommanderDJ]

Will the submodels have submodels?

...ignore me. It's 2am over here.

remember that you have a huge poly budget for the fighter bay, don't skimp on details, feel free to put a few extra textures in there too, so long as they don't show up any where else. it might also be a good idea to use non-lit textures, (give them a name that ends in -amb, (I haven't seen this used in forever it might not still work)) so that the outside world doesn't effect the lighting inside the hangar.

[The E]

Code says it should still work.

I've got fully half of the Greebles texture dedicated to the fighterbay, and I'll be copying the diffuse map to the Glowmap to prevent outside lighting from affecting it. I have no plans to put more than three textures on this model. mjn.mixael and Cobra will be providing the textures.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

That sounds promising, Galemp. Keep going.
