[quote who="DrAsik" reply="6" id="2072007"] Sorry but that's just crap. Sins of a Solar Empire doesn't support Linux, and it doesn't support OpenGL either. It is unofficially supported by WINE, which is (among others) a DirectX implementation. Secondly, Direct3D is able to use gpu RAM, not just OpenGL; all 3D games whether they are OpenGL or D3D use gpu RAM for fast access to textures.

Have two Xeon quad core at 2.66 ghz... with a old NV 8800 Ultra 768 mb...

I will not use 1.14 until the new numerous problem are fixed... these patch add more problem that it resolve... maybe 1.15 or other future version will be good but 1.14 is bad news...
Dolynick, I would love to get the buildings done up better on the Atlantis but texturing it is going to be a nightmare and I'm not sure if I will get to it in the forseable future or not. I think my time would be better spent getting more ship models in place right now. If I can find an easy way of adding some lights to the buildings then sure I will try but isolating all the towers and texturing them could take weeks given how many there are.</stron
[quote who="alway" reply="3" id="2070234"] Nope. Light has 0 mass, since it moves at the speed of light.[/quote] You have two type of mass ( invarient mass )... the rest mass which is the Newtonian mass as measured by an observer moving along with the object.... and the relativistic mass who is the total quantity of energy in a body or system (divided by C^2 )... The relativistic mass (of a body or system of bodies) includes a contribution from the kinetic energy o

Some of your request already exist : 3) When damaged, ship are in fire... once repair, it become like before 5) some weapons use a mesh and the particule for the effect ( full 3D ) 6) Some mod make it... 7) Take a look at the B5 mod... ship have moving part by using the particule effect 10) Alreadu have it with 7DS... some race have a special HUB Sure that the remaining point can be made BUT S
None of the two... in your case, processor is fast enough and gpu is good enough... Sins is memory use intensive... your 4 gb ram can be very little when use with a OS like Win32 who allow only 2 gb by application... if you have a Win64, it is better since the WOW64 who is used for run 32 bits application allow 4 gb by application... Never forget, if you are using a win 32 bit system, the address range is at max 4 gb... from these 4 gb, you need t

About the level of upgrade : -1 mean that a scout exploring the gravity wheel is enough, 0 mean that colonize a planet is enough, 1 mean that you need "Explore Planet" level 1, and two mean that you need "Explore Planet" level 2 by example, -1/-1 can be something who modify the gravity wheel like "Super Dense Core"... this is directly feel by an scout or any ship entering the gravity wheel... a 0/0 can only be discover when colonize... a 0/2
