What could these pictures mean?

Anyone with over 500 posts on TGU is disqualified from guessing.:D :D

ship specific debris?

[ionfish]

Well, knowing absolutely bugger all about modding, I'm going to guess.

(please note, this guess is based purely on what I've seen in the few mods I've played, with no outside help or trawling of TGU...)


You've managed to crack whatever it is that allows ship-specific debris effects?


Probably totally and completely wrong, but hey, that's life... ;)


[edit] ack, blu got there first... I blame my long-winded and totally pointless posting habits =|

...I have two guesses:

1) The ladies blew up a whole SSD-load of TIE Fighters.

2) The ladies are showing off again.

:D

(BTW, ladies, this mild ribbing won't stop you from doing some work for Dark Vengeance, will it? ;))

Certainly not. But the code you get will crash Homeworld and erase the mod. :D :D
Not really, we don't know how to do that with EBGs.

And, dang it, you're all right. All four answers.

So, does that mean you'll be able to get us some cool-looking debris effects for the TvK mod?

Note that we should be the mod you work on the most, as if we change our name one TINY letter it'll turn into your name (TvK->SvK), and so should be very important to you:)

SvK are my heroines.... omg... %) That's.... great....

("no words... to describe it... they should have sent a poet")

[Siber]

first, cool pics SvK, second, is that sig pic from the TvK mod? :eek: :confused:

[Langy]

Nope, those are Tie-Fighter wing-thingies. The pic in my sig, however, is from the TvK mod.

[Siber]

yeah, thats the one i meant.

[Spooky]

Ship specific or class specific? The latter has been easily doable for ages, so I am guessing it is the former?

[SvK]

If you look closely, you can make out:
Hex wing from TIE fighter
Claw wing from TIE Interceptor
C wing from TIE Bomber, TIE Advanced, and some droid thing
Missile pods from Missileboat
Spike wings from V-38
Various fins from Assault Gunboat

And they're all fighters!

[Ghent]

:( :P ....ur evil.... How could you taunt the adoring masses like this?
OH WOE IS MEH

[Spooky]

Impressive, another minor wall of things that cannot be done is demolished. :)

[Lord Vorkosigan]

Well, maybe I will anyway. Haven't you two had this sort of figured out for quite a while?

[SvK]

We tried this earlier and failed, then ThomastheCat suggested turning off N-LIPS. Suddenly the 'size' parameter stopped shifting unpredictabley, and everything fell into place.

[Captain Pierce]

Well, I think I know who your next hero is going to be... ;)

Nice work, ladies (and Thomas)!

[Kerith]

wha?

[SvK]

Thomas is our hero for October, we just forgot to update our sig here.

[Crook]

Is this using the size of the ship to determine what debris to trigger?

Is so - why didn't I think of that!?
