Tes, you know, the blue lines on the erynies, pegasus... and the red on all the shivan ships. Maybe we could make them in the game? Should just have to put lots of little engine glows in the right shape, no?
Otherwise, head over there to see my latest ship, the SCv Scylla: http://www.geocities.com/venom250681/ShivanPage.html
It's the second pic from the left, all others features the chimera (ingame pics are a little outdated, it now has full tables, engine glows, shield and so on...)

That would be a great idea! It would probably involve the placement of a lot of glow points, but - it would be pretty cool. Time to blow the dust off FSMM2...    

Whoa, stop the show. Are those ships in that screenshot - this one:

   

The one with 3 prongs at the front - they are the SCvs? They look sweet!

well, as usual, links to geocties f*** up, but I've watched into the properties of the pic and yep, right pic and right ship.
it's the second one of the ships I'll do for the shivan campagin ( the chimera comes along with some great weapons Killmenow has made)

Excellent job. I really love this design. I want to get my hands on it to do some renders of my own  

As for the glowing thing - yes, this would be cool. But AFAIK, you can only make circular shaped glows - so we would have to do a lot of glow points stuck together.

Mind posting a nice, easy to view pic of it?  So we can see what it looks like?

[Warlock]

That was one ofthe things I did like about SL's engine,..all the fighters and Cap's had actual running lights. Blinking ones at that.

Do the glowing points use much cpu power?

(probably a stupid question, but just in case anyone knows...)

Of what?  

[Nico]

well, as glows are more simple tahn laser shots, and as I never experienced any slow down when hundreds of laser shots passed on the screen, I guess FS2 could handle wella hundred glows per ship   (I'll try that on my chimera anyway   )

For the Scylla, well it's intented to be used in the Shivan campaign, so I don't want to spoil the surprise  , so no better pics, exepted if the staff posts pics of ths scylla on the campaign site (if they does, well, after all, I do what I want with my models   )

Yes, the engine could probably handle it - but would you want to place each and every glow point? Extensive FSMM2 use = ouch  

[Nico]

Well, when you've placed the first one, all the others in the same "line" have the same coordinates with just a slight change, so it wouldn't be that difficult. Once I've finished all my models for the mods I'm working on (that means, well 6 or 7 ,d'oh!), I'll try this.

Damn, I'm stupid! There's a better way to make that using glows, and with much less glows, and it even looks better. Just have to try out one thing.
