Mods / Re: Alliance faction - help

Thanks, John. The tripod needs some kind of retexturing...   

Here is a small part of my soundtrack (so far I worte it ... ). The instrumentation (and the sound) will change a bit ...

Hi, nice one .... typed the first 4 pages of scores for the music today... this model could become a scout-unit. Fast, medium armour, weak (or no) attack (can be improved by upgrades).

I'm not shure with ressources (wich ones do you have in the other factions? / Maybe use the same/mixed up ?).

It's quite difficult to find good music licenced under (Global-) PublicDomain, but I keep looking.

Would a modified version (much more futuristic) of this fit ?


PS: Skin is much better ;-)

Yes, I think it looks nice.

It looks like a big technology-fork of the alliance uses spider-vehicles... (wich is a nice idea) ... So I think we should make all spider-vehicles (maybe 3 - 5) to product of one building.

nice model .... but the texture could be a bit more detailed? ... or do you think about that style, then it's allright.

I worked a bit on mixing the two logos

(black border disappear in normal resolution)

I'd prefer a) (blue and yellow paint schemes). Would fit well to the very nice logo (with the 5 stars) from gabbe.

Feature requests / Re: [Request]Hotkeys for skills

« on: 5 July 2011, 02:29:05 »

This could become a Feature making Glest more interesting for Pro-Gamers who need fast gameplay, but could create some trouble with the keys, that are set with functions, yet....

Feature requests / Re: alternative ways to show teamcolor

« on: 5 July 2011, 02:26:12 »

Well I'm in favor with some kind of combination of what was mentioned before. Here are 2 additional ways that I'd prefer (maybe make both possible and let modder decide ...):

• replacing current hp/ep - circle with an teamcolor - circle and adding hp/ep - bars on top of the unit.
  AND / OR
  
• And a square in Teamcolor above the unit. It should use an alphamap or something similar. So you could include faction logo, too.

Mods / Re: NEW monster/alien Factions

« on: 4 July 2011, 10:57:06 »

That's not true. You only need the texture. If double-sided, etc, was incorrectly set, it can be fixed with G3DHack. Nor, really, is it that hard to do, the hardest part being to find a creative way to place teamcolor in.

But without the source files it' s much more work than with at least if they were save in photoshop (*.psd) or gimp files, too.

- enable the engine to show a marker above the unit

would be nice.  maybe we could place a life-bar (and an energy-bar) there, too. So people stop complaining about the transpareny of life-circle (on the ground) ...

MegaGlest / Update Documentation(s)

« on: 29 June 2011, 23:54:31 »

We should update Documentations (e.g. Wiki) to let modders find the cool new features added last weeks.

Example: https://docs.megaglest.org/XML/Skills

Does not contain how to use hp-cost  (btw. : <hp-cost value="123" /> )

I can do the features I concepted. Can anyone do the other features?

Well.... yes!! After 5.2 the most important function is in MG so I will work again on this mod. Additionally I'm playing arround with an idea for a scenario ... if it works (pre-alpha like) i will post screenshots etc.

Bug reports / Re: Problems with utf8/new fontsystem

« on: 27 June 2011, 22:56:36 »

I got a few other errors.

1.  The new fontsystem does not render/show the letter "J"


Look at "Shadows". There is no "j" in "Pro ected". And at Screenshot format there is No "J" in "JPG".

2. When you edit the nickname in the option menu  and you press for example the [backspace] - key there comes an â–¡ instead of removing an letter.

MegaGlest / Re: Rationale behind the mod folder location

« on: 28 May 2011, 13:06:23 »

well i (as a developer) still don't like splitting up program folders, because it lead to changes in multiple folders than one,and make an installation nessesary, you can not simply copy and paste a new instance of a progam , but if this is the way it will be the new standart I will accept it (when still trying not to use it, I need 5-6 instances of almost every program I work with ;-) ).

Hey,
