Re: Newest version of BSF and shipmaker

Get v0.90d at www.wyrdysm.com , get the MIRV downloads at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5285 . Get custom sprites of various description in the custom content area of the forum.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Re: Son Tzus' shiny windows

Arcalane, u r da bom! :D Downloaded IrfanView and GIMP (worried what I'd get when I typed that into my search engine :lol: ). Did a little experiment, here are the results.

Re: heeeeeeeelp 3 xD (sprites)

Sorry, I do not understand your last message. Can you be more specific, or rephrase the question. Also, please do not create more new threads to ask questions, use the ones you already have. If you start lots of threads you will incur the wrath of the moderators. You do not want to do that.

Re: Newest version of BSF and shipmaker

That's a little complicated... basically 0.90d is the latest full version, however there are MIRV add-ons to give you extra weapons and options in SM. If you want the lot, as I understand it you'll need to install 0.90d, then add the MIRV and MIRV bug-fix to the BSF folder after.

Re: heeeeeeeelp 3 xD (sprites)

I think you need a freeware zip extractor, downloading all the sprites in an uncompressed format would be impractical and take a long time. There is not a single download for all sprites. Type "zip freeware" into your search engine to find one. I use IZarc myself.

Re: Son Tzus' shiny windows

Thanks! If anybody has any advice on keeping the filesize down in png images I'd appreciate it. Even though there's less detail than the sections they're based on, I noticed that they're almost twice the bitcount.

Son Tzus' shiny windows

This is a small set of sprites modified (with Kaelis' kind permission) in order to be used as window overlays (except 122, that's for putting warning stripes on) with the Kae_shn set. I've kept the numbers of the sprites the same as the originals so it's easy to tell which one they go with. Son_shn ...

Re: My First Custom Ships =P

Try and keep your stuff in one thread if you can. If you spam threads the mods won't like it. I see you've made another thread so I'll look for your new stuff in that one in future :wink:

Re: An experiment in building "functional" spaceships

I broadly agree with your ideas on this, I try to include thrusters for braking for example. These fights need not necessarily be short, the likely distances involved mean that misses are far more likely than hits, even with very accurate weapons. Weapons with an effective muzzle velocity of C or ne...

Re: Random acts of violence with shipmaker

I don't remember Borg cubes rotating...never mind. The Luna kills the game badly . Toggleable cloaks would be nice, ships aren't supposed to be able to use weapons while cloaked. Been getting heavily into triggers recently, I'll see if I can make that happen if you like. The Phoenix has a mirroring ...
