Another thing: Please support custom ShaderPipelines (besides the ones supplied in the game). We can create wonderful effect using new shaders but are only allowed to modify existing ones and therefore change things we don't want to change. This should be very easy. ShaderModel 3 support for the custom shaders would be good, so we could add our own Parallax Occlusion Culling shaders to the game. Or better reflections and more. Also I'd love (unlikely, but would be a mo

Thanks alot. This will help us modders (and the community in general) more then anything else and keep this game a classic throughout the years. Thanks for investing the time and money (I know it is a lot of both) to do this. If you open up a donations page I'm sure many of us would give a buck or two!

At the moment it is (for testing purposes) implemented the following way: Tradeports recharge tradeships with antimatter, AntimatterRechargeModules and Starbases steal it from them and recharge frigates and capitalships. There is no default antimatter regeneration. A proposed change would be: Antimatter recharge modules (repair platforms) and Starbases have a large Antimatter storage, low regeneration rate ad to recharge the antimatter of a friendly

@Shmily123 Looks pretty good. And demonic [e digicons]}:)[/e] @SivCorp Thanks, yes, it's the Ambient occlusion and the normalmap that make the seams so visible. But I wouldn't want to miss them.

Thanks Shmily123. I think it's pretty good too, but there are some things in textureing I'm still lacking (ie. the seams) and the way I texture I don't know how to get rid of those. And they are too visible on some parts (e.g. the main vertical part, seam front to side) PS.: You should see it in action, thats much more impressive (just download the Sins of the younger races Prealpha 0.40 + 0.41 Update)

Had just a testgame with EA, was ambushed by a Minbari fleet (I had 7 Hyperion, 3 Omega and about 40 Artemis frigates, he had 1 Sharlin and about 12 Neshtan gunships) and was totally devastated. When I finally got around to killing some neshtan Centauri jumped in and finished the rest of my forces off. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Such a joyful moment!!

Hehe. When you are at it, perhaps you can make a heightmap and a da map for the next model as well. Heightmap: just a tga where black is low and white is high (I'll convert it into a normalmap from there) DA: Red channel: Specular channel ( shininess) Green channel: Illumination channel (selflit material) Blue channel: Reflective channel (skybox reflection) Alpha channel: Bloom channel (glowing parts)
