Wow. I really like that. Looks a little strange, but it's an alien fighter after all.

the E closed my topic and i haven't understand why... anyway i ask here my question warm: what program you use to edit the new .ani images ? maybe you can give me some support...thanks a lot

[The E]

I closed the topic because it was no longer appropriate for the Support board. You are no longer asking for support with a problem you have, you are asking about how to alter aspects of the game. There are more appropriate areas for that sort of thing (Like the FS Modding board, or this one).

[torc]

ok E...you right thanks for the explanation...i'll just continue to ask here 

[TrashMan]

Hmm....very nifty.

Say, is it possible to tie the HUD to a craft..so you get ahuman hud in a human fighter and vasudan hud in a vasudan fighter?

No. A feature to support this is planned, but not yet implemented.

I think that's what they intend to do. I don't think they will make it so you have to use it when flying Terran fighters if they add it to the vp because that wouldn't make sense, so I assume they will redo the Terran hud too and they will be used depending on what you fly. Maybe they will code it so any flyable ship that has 'V' in it will use the Vasudan hud and any flyable ship that has 'T' for Terran in it will use the Terran hud. Maybe that wouldn't work since anyone can change the faction abbreviations. So they will probably have to attach that hud to a list of all flyable Vasudan fighters and bombers.

"They" being who, exactly?

Always remember that FSU (the team responsible for maintaining the mediavps) and SCP (the team maintaining the engine) are two very different things. While there are a few people with membership in both teams (for example, people like Zacam, chief, or myself (*ahem*)), they have different priorities.

It is called "Species" definition, it is currently how each species has its own form of afterburner and thruster glows/trails graphics as well as shield impact effects.

As well, the ability to define on a per ship or instance type is easy to do. The problem is in having the available assets to mange it in such a way that it's available for those that want it without having it interfere with those that do not.

[Zacam]

We already have too many of them as it is.

warmslayer, i have send you a PM...HELP!!!!! 

[Venicius]

this thing is great!  I'm using it in PI right now, tried to use it in STL but only parts of it worked there.  Keep making these!

[WormSlayer]

It all looks great on my monitor, but I played it on a friends system last night and some things were so dark they were barely visible, so I already know various things need the brightness tweaking.

I'm guessing STL already has some custom HUD graphics which are getting higher priority than my ones, not really sure what could be done about that...

[mr.WHO]

Speaking of the new HUD...what about shivan HUD, any ideas ?

[WormSlayer]

Yeah I could also make a Shivan HUD if thats what you mean?

From what I can gather, the HUD system is one of the more archaic and unloved parts of the source code, but I'm told it's in the process of being overhauled so I'm hoping these brave souls will bring it into the 21st century!

[torc]

ehi! i'm working on my personal hud version.... thanks for the support worm! you'll be the first to try it 

[WormSlayer]

Yeah still interested to see what your working on! Let me know if you need anything else

[Admiral Nelson]

I have a plan to make good use of a PVN HUD in a certain well regarded campaign but -- what should a Vasduan HUD sound like???    Naturally it shouldn't use the same effects, but I wonder what kinds of sounds would be appropriate for Vasudans?

[Mongoose]

bup bup bupbupbupbup?
