I wonder if there are XWA ISD models too. That would be just great. Edit: There are two ISD's. Take a look at the engine exhaust : I think it does not display properly for one of them, what with the blue thinghy

I don't mind this thread to be hijacked, really Actually, I think Antonius has worked more on character cards than me. So you could ask him for some, I believe.

-No Pressure-

Okay, this works very well. I can see there has been much work since the last time. 2 thing I noticed: a- The Rebel ship is turning at 180°. A U-turn would be more realistic, or at least rotating on itself. b- There are 2 size of Nebulon-B Frigate. On of them dwarfs Imperial Star Destroyer

Maybe this has already been reported, but playing as the Vong, I have two research I can't make because the prerequisite is absent. I want to develop Deep Space Trade, but it says I need to research Golan III first and I can't find-it anywhere... Known issue?

I can already see what is unclear. Typology. Burn is not a synonym for damaged. From what I gather, this name was chosen to design the special effects to a ship. The damaged part is one. The hyperspace part is a completely different one, but is still called a "burn". I hope so. However, I personally can't use that definition and it makes me sad that I won't have access to your game. It has great potential That was also my personal favorite. I'll show you what I had in mind so you can tell me if that's what you mean by that And thank you. This interface/GUI work, as I'm sure you know by now, is quite the pain. I feel like Reloaded was rushed because they wanted-it out to get to something else. I can see how a person motivated that works alone can go further, even if it's more long and I respect all the work yourself has been doing. Tell you what, if I support your definition and you are interested, maybe I could work on a better GUI for you.

I don't support this hi-definition (or rather my graphical card does not). Higher it goes is 1664x1040. I am not buying another new graphical card for one game... So no testing from me I'm afraid...

Somehow, I believe Lavo is going to be real happy to have you in the beta-test team and maybe more

Uh, that's a lot of comments, and it is not clear to me what you actually think about the new burns. If I understood that well, what you tell me is that the old burns were fine compared to mine and that an exhaust blue trail at the engine is better than the blue effect. The problem is that I can't find a way to make new exhaust trail without them looking totally out of place and they just don't fit with the engines. You say you are confused about what is the meaning of the colors. Uh. Well, I think the confusion comes from the fact I did not show the neutral picture. Of course, when a ship is undamaged, it is shown without any background (just like the Carack cruiser, there). When damaged, there is the red/orange aura and when in hyperspace, the blue halo. Seems pretty simple to me... And as for the being damaged and through hyperspace, well, it seems it shows the damaged part over the Hyperspace part. I should think of something to counter that I will write "HS" in the damaged picture in pure blue (written with Aubresh alphabet). That should help, I hope. It is fine for the build icon, but not great for fleet icon. Besides, it seems to me that the colors of the ship are not easy to see when it is in hyperspace. The blue defines-it better, in my opinion. Not sure what you mean by visual cue. Is the Aubresh inscription I mentioned earlier a good example of this? Not for ships, but yeah, it does for other stuffs. What would the improvement be in that case. Since I can't do proper trail exhaust, that would leave the game incomplete, don't you think? Perhaps I could do something that might help in this matter. What if the damage pic was half the size it is now and the rest was transparent? We'd probably see the hyperspace color around, I think. Less visually aesthetic, but still working. But if I did that, I'd only do-it for fleet icon, because when looking at build icon, I'd see the status written: in hyperspace.

That would be way too long. Thrust me on that!

I have began working on the Imperial Star Destroyer set of burns. I've decided to expand my fleet icon status concept (see Legend: FID and FIH) Here's a teaser of what it looks like: http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/Rebellion/ISDBurns.jpg Legend: FID: Fleet is damaged FIH: Fleet in Hyperspace HS: Hyperspace M-B D: Mini burn : damaged I need to choose between hyperspace burn 1 and 2. What do you think? Should I pick number one or number two?

Yes, but there's only one I remember. Bevel Lemelisk is gone and Jerjerrod is back.

When I do release the Beta version. Which may well be very soon as it could be late. It depends mostly on 2 factors. Wether I wait or not for DarthTex's position corrections (he was already halfway through, last time I e-mailed him) and wether or not I make new burns for all those ships that have incorrect ones. That may be very long though (in last factor's case).

Something to keep in mind. Maybe you should try to find what's wrong with 1.7 and your computer?

Yeah, I know, it was fine, but did not know that you hadn't upgraded. Also, I did not know that this version wouldn't be compatible with older version. Maybe I'll downgrade... If this is not too much nuisance for you. Anyway, I guess we'll eventually have to make the change so new testers can actually get this to work... So yup, I'd like that if you don't mind That's about is right as it can get, if I'm not mistaken, that is.

Well, I've got the new version now and it seems I can't update the game without "upgrading SVN", thus making it "unusable for older client". Should I upgrade-it then? Did you (Lavo)? Help me, please

Well, I've had problem giving the right tilt to the floor, to give-it a depth. Notification is Reloaded's work. Because I don't read Aubresh, it does not help me very much... And yeah, I am aware that the Rebel symbol on the floor does not fit nicely with the grate, but I've got an idea that might help. Anyway, with the next update (that's already done) there are items such as pilot helmet and blaster on the shelve with the buttons. That should help loads. And as for the gold sign, it is purely aesthetic, not quite Reb HQ

Very quick update. Added Antonius's battle pic to get yet another viewport. Then, took one of Canderis's Peragus Asset and replaced the ugly brown stuff used for ressources. I took one of Nadj...'s slicer pic and integrated-it to the GUI. Looks like he's working allright. After that, I used yet another of Xarwarz's texture to make a shelve for the buttons. And because I thought the buttons were rather ugly, I took another Xarwarz texture to make a new button plus I rounded the corners. This looks very nice indeed. Feels like I've succeeded into making something almost entirely new. It certainly looks better than Reloaded's version and I personnally prefer-it over vanilla. http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/Rebellion/InterfaceChange.jpg

I could not resist working on this some more. Made another video to show you what's new. And I know the Alliance GUI is kind of dark for rebels, but I think-it very hard to make a Rebel bridge. So I took an unused TSL shuttle and grabbed some parts here and there. I also used a Nadjshfel (can't type his name correctly) NR sign (plus a few more from google image) and also, I've been able to scrounge a door for the shuttle to put behind C-3PO. I am aware that C-3PO's animation mess with the floor, but nothing I can do about that and I won't have the Kel'Dor instead. I think a Calamarian would have been nice though, but too bad. Also, I used two textures from Xarwarz and that looks very good there. Also, I used Nadjsfel's rebel ships pictures to make the viewport on the right. I think that looks very good. I made all the buttons myself, even though they look a little bit out of place. Maybe I'll only have icons without the grey screen... I'll see.

Wow, such an honnor to recieve a spam message in a topic about spam. What is that, a polite spam bot?

Yeah, I had that one once. But the crash issue would not be good and the fact it is always in the background (wherever you look) bothers me...

Meh. -Globalization vs Mondialisation? -Why do incestual fathers tend to wish a sense of stability, as per description by Askham? -Social classification of peeps? ... I guess a few things Don't worry, when I come back, it will not take a lot of time for y'all to get a beta out, with less bugs, more complete skin/GUI, better ship pics and the such.

Mod status: on hold Well, I am at the end of my session. My university entry depends on-it, so I won't be modding for 3 whole weeks. I'll probably have some time to patch this up afterwards, but for the moment: hiatus

In line with your desire for typos to be brought to your attention... "wont" should be "want". "Colour" should be "color" if you are going for American English; if you want British English, its fine as is. What version of English are you going for? What all have you changed, as in, what needs proof-reading? Just Encyclopedia entries, or are there other things as well? As you are getting closer to completion, and I'm getting more interested in your work, I'll do some testing for you. And proof-reading. Do you want my responses in this thread, or a new one? Typical. That happens when I start to write something and then forget about-it and speak about something else Well, I usually go for American, but hey, whatever, I had written color, then turned the spelling check on and it told me that I should write colour. Figures. Generally, it is going to be encyclopedia entries, yeah. And yup, in this thread, that would be fine. Am I close to completion? Well, mostly, but I am tweaking bits there and there. I'm basically waiting for Darth Tex to send-me the new galaxy layout, not to put pressure on anybody

I'll pray for that...
