Non-static weaponry, the default control systems, two of the obvious FL-inspired (or at least similar to, it not inspired by) you can see straight up.

Happy New Year!!!

Ahh, good idea, hadn’t thought of that.
Thanks for the help, seems to work great!

… You’re right.
I don’t even remember F!R’s response. :S

Well, regardless, consider this problem solved, unless someone wants to find me an offset or something. xD

Thanks for the help, everyone.

There are many theories that actually explain the effects of dark matter and dark energy without using either of them. Google for “Horava theory of gravity” for an example I’ve read about a few years ago 😉

It’s but one of many, but it goes to show there are always many ways to tackle an issue. Whether we end up finding out dark matter and energy to be true is something we won’t know for some time, but it’s always good for things we are still uncertain about to keep your mind open. In the case of the speed of light and neutrinos and relativity in general, we have just about no uncertainty, which is why scientists are so sceptical.

Oh really?
I’ll try it with the next ship, thanks.

I don’t know if I like the first video or not, can’t decide 😄

Thanks a bunch, Roo! 😄

Okay, well I was playing around in the justice’s (li_laser_01) ale, and I presume I need to edit the flash node’s lifespan?

Well, I tried that, raising it up to 300 (from 2 or 3), but it didn’t seem to change anything at all.

I’m using the XML project.

Yeah, I managed to find the DA exclusion, however it didn’t seem to have much effect. I believe this could be because the exclusion zone was too small, however I can’t really test it properly without fixing the draw distance, which I haven’t been able to do yet.

Trying two values didn’t seem to change anything, unfortunately.

I’ll play around with the constants, though the cons may outweigh the pros in that respect.

Thanks.

which brings me to an idea of more complexity than we have with equipmass.dll:
what about mass and thrust forces being the only values for a ship to fly. no maximum speed, no maximum rotation speed, everything just like in real physics - the longer you apply a force to the object, the more you increase its velocities… though to play with this would be too weird xD

Fourth post in a row, pro. 8-)

Not 100% that Black Hole Recordings won’t go corporate on my ass, so get this remix of Tiesto’s Nyana up in ya quick. 😛

Yeah just found the problem two minutes ago.
I’m so stupid sometimes it’s a wonder I’m actually intelligent.

I didn’t even have entries for the bases in universe.ini (which also explains the black screen issue I had on dock xD).

So it appears that name is handled by strid_name is the base entries of universe.ini, which is kinda random.

Far be it for me to second guess the FL devs though. xD

Case closed!

Oh, thanks for the help, it would have been perfect had I not worked it out just before xD

I would say it’s probably when the weapon explodes, as I tried with both values at 10k with no effect. (On a flea, mind you.)

I’ll experiment with your explosive idea though, thanks.

The textures in the CAV’s MAT are in JPG format. For FL, it has to be DDS or TGA, but HardCMP is a bit less picky. This is why you’re having problems.

Now, here’s what you can do. Extract all the textures using the UTF editor. You’ll save them one at a time. Once that’s done, delete the MIP0 node that it’s attached to, then put the node back in by creating a new node and renaming it to MIP0 (or MIPS if MIP0 doesn’t work for some reason. I’m not sure what the difference is.)…

MIP0 to MIP8 = TGA textures.
MIPS = DDS Texture. MIP Maps can be included inside this node, it is an option of the DDS exporter for Photoshop, and may also be in the exporters for GIMP and PAINT.NET too.

No need to delete the MIP0 node - you can rename it to MIPS when needed, just import your new dds texture into the same node and rename it MIPS…

But if you do this and there are MIP1 or more nodes - can be up to MIP8 - then you must delete these, they are not needed.

Well, we managed to get a hold of the talents of someone great for modelling, and now we’re looking for something a bit different, and not straight up freelancer relevant!

We need a graphic artist, someone who can design logos for the various factions, as well as various other important things such as the mod logo.

Basically, logos!

We’ll be asking about in various places, but on the off chance there’s someone hanging about here with the skills and would like to help out, give us a shout!
