Yeah, maybe a "upgraded retail tiles" pack, separate download, containing, well, the upgraded versions of all retail textures would be nice.

This, though it should be a separate project obviously.

What I'd like to see in FSU is a resource policy for modders.

[General Battuta]

Yeah, it's pretty disconcerting to release your magnum opus that works flawlessly with whatever MVP release, then come back a year later after say, you go to Iraq or something and find it's all broken and nobody has fixed it.

[Rga_Noris]

Droid:

... then which version had normal maps? Also I think Zacam may have some older versions lying around.

Tutta:

Good point. You should help Droid to make a tile pack.

[Rodo]

Some way to implement debris hulks, dense debris fields and bodies left by capital ships on detonation sites.

[Dragon]

3.6.9 Mediavps should have normal maps (and I used to have them).
3.6.10 Mediavps should have all that's needed to make models which don't have "a"s at the end of their texture names work.
And I think that old texture upgrades should be fully supported by Mediavps team.

Guys, these are FSU requests, not code requests.

There were no 3.6.9 MVPs, it went from 3.6.8 (had no normal maps) straight to 3.6.10, where normal maps were first implemented.

This is a thread where you can make requests as to what you would like to see added/changes in the FSU. Remember, all requests are just that; requests, which means there is no guarantee we'll agree or have the manpower to implement every request.

Well, I can think of about a dozen different models that have been shown in one degree of detail improvement (I.E. High-Polification) and while a certain number are likely to make their way in, others I believe are kinda sitting in limbo such as the Typhon and Demon.  It is these that I'd like to see finished and included.  Most other improvements I have in mind would be dependent on code additions which are not currently in the engine.

[mjn.mixael]

Typhon is actively being worked on.

Not sure about the Demon. I've also put the Arcadia work on hold for a bit.

[666maslo666]

Hi-poly NTF Boardicea.

[Hades]

The NTF Boadicea is on hold, as is the Hermes, Medusa, and Demon. I still need to go over my old Hermes mesh a bit and improve it, no one has claimed the Boadicea, the Demon is to be modeled by peterv AFTER he uvmaps my Medusa (which he said, not me). The Typhon is well on its way, the new Hades and Colossus are both mostly done, my Deimos is on hold (for now, may pick it up again tomorrow). That's all I can think of right now.

That being said, I didn't make this thread for the request of models already being finished to be requested to be finished. It can relate to a model, say you want a new Hhigh-poly model or an upgrade of an already high-poly model? Post that here. Have some grips about an old model? Post that here.

A modular mod-manager like device, and/or the ability to quickly integrate a custom ship into the ship.tbl file. It would scan for a .tbl file in an archive and then add it to the list. This would make live a lot easier for people that want to make mods with more custom ships, but are having trouble to locate, use or correctly add to, the ship.tbl file.

Wonder if something like this could be made.

Edit: Ah, sorry. Seems this is the wrong section for it.

How does that relate to FSU?

Its called notepad and a brain. \o/
Seriously.
Finding all the textures the POF uses is harder than making a table.

And a suggestion like that would belong in the tools board anyway.

[CAP1331]

I've seen some pretty awesome skyboxes in the wiki screenshots page (I haven't play any mod with them though). I would like to see something like that as standart skyboxes for most common retail stellar systems.
I mean, look at these:

But I also like Lightspeed's Nebulas a lot, so it's not urgent. I've seen a modified subspace whirl somewhere too, I'd like to see something like that. And maybe a new weapons effect for the Prometheus Cannon (the regular one, not the advanced nor retrofit). It looks like your shooting green glowsticks in my opinion.

Boadicea needs some UV mapping redone, and textures baked then. Not much apart from that. Apart from LODS and debris that is.


Besides, i've claimed it ages ago, its just on hold till i get all the other **** done first.

Yeah, it's all the POF data that's gonna be the most difficult to do. Are you using RagingLoli's model or starting from scratch?

[Mongoose]

Personally, I'd settle for someone finally fixing that missing Ulysses edge texture issue that seems to have slipped its way through the past two MediaVP releases.

[Zacam]

The Ulysses is textured -exactly- as intended. Nothing is missing. But seeing as how one of the Insignia needs to be corrected on that model, it may be possible to "correct" what you feel is a defect. I personally think it adds some nice character to the vessel.
