Check out the screens from the SSC video game, I'm p1mping, but i think it is relevant here

Gotta love making games

If anyone has REAL suggestions for comparative physics for these ships, please post in that thread.

[Setekh]

Oh, physics. You're unlucky that I got to this thread first; my physics is, at best, primary-school level. Yay for Newton!

I will say, though, that the engine's looking really cool. Is that fogging I spy? Volumetric, even? You should do some ice mountains... shake up the screenshots a little, it wouldn't be so hard.

[Inquisitor]

Yeah, fog

I haven't touched the base maps since I did them for my venus project (http://www.deckersds.com/endeavor ) but I have some nice green rolling hills and what not, just not in the game yet

The engine is great, if you have 100 bucks, MORE than worth the investment for learning alone.

Friendly Fire is looking great!:) Regarding the physics, it might be nice to have the inertia and momentum effects, but you don't really need anything else. If you specify a mass for each object and drop in some of the standard mechanics formulas, it should work fine.

Physics...
Physics..
You mean those two courses I took last year? The ones I cant remember anything from? The ones I somehow managed to pass with a 70?
Nope..
Doesnt ring a bell...

[CP5670]

lol, I love physics... (along with math and some types of engineering)

[Jabu]

Hehe. If you go by real comparative calcs, the Uly's firepower is somewhere around 100x that of the Pyro

[Inquisitor]

That's apparently debateable

But that IS the kind of info I want

[CP5670]

That's apparently debateable  

as shown by that FS2 vs D3 thread...lol:D

[Nico]

the maps on the thrusters are flipped

[Inquisitor]

Wanna help?

[JR2000Z]

What gaming engine does it use?

[Inquisitor]

Torque.

Same engine as Tribes 2.

Interested in looking at this?

[Bobboau]

what is this, a new mod, a new game engine

[Grey Wolf]

Wait a second, is that a Mad Cat from Battletech!??!

[Inquisitor]

No matter what they say about you guys, I have faith

Can't sneak anything past ya!

Yes, it is a Mad Cat

Torque game engine can be found here: http://www.garagegames.com for 100 USD

Everything else, I scrounged for (including the Uly model, Thanks T)!

[Grey Wolf]

About how big do you expect it to be when you're done?

[Inquisitor]

it's riding about 28 megs right now.

Pop over to the SSC forums if your interested, I'll hook ya up with a "beta"

[WMCoolmon]

Noooooo! The poor Mad Cat! How could you!?
Looks fun...especially the part with the Ully blowing up the Descent fighter.

Not at all - :V: made it
