Off topic / Computer Issues...
« on: 25 December 2010, 07:57:24 »
Specs:

Dual-core Processor @2.99 GHz
XFX Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 2.2 TerraFLOPS
530W PSU --850W gaming PSU incoming...
ASRock Motherboard(suspected of causing crashes with previous computer)

We physical switched the two whole computers(case and all), then switched the PSUs of both, switched the windows hard drive to the new main computer. Booted it up, uninstalled 4670 drivers, installed 5870 drivers, reboot. Come up get lots of glitching, different games have different symptoms but none work completely. I reinstalled the OS which fixed a DVD drive issue, but upon installing the latest ATI drivers the problem came up again. Been trying lots of things here...... Random crashes not to often, seemingly unrelated to the graphics card.

Possible problems:
-OS confusion from HDD switch --OS reinstalled

-Faulty motherboard (had random crashed under linux on other computer)

-Not enough power (could explain all the graphical glitches) --Incoming 850 is predicted to satisfy all needs!
500psu is the requirement, though some people say more. We have a 530. Drivers could make use of card and ask for power which isn't there cause graphical faults and glitches.

Current status: No drivers installed, running on hardware stuff, used a driver cleaning program recommended bu Guru3D which hopefully got rid of all drivers. No glitches.

Can anyone help me with this? Gabbe?

Feature requests / An Idea to Enhance the Particle System and other cool things...
« on: 19 October 2010, 07:00:34 »
Descriptions are useless, so I'm going to cut to examples. ;)


With the current particle system, you can have fire arrows with a flaming arrow but no smoke(and other possible additions...).

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<projectile-particle-system>
        <texture value="true" luminance="true" path="images/defense_tower_particle_proj.bmp"/>
        <model value="true" path="../archer/models/archer_arrow.g3d"/>
    <primitive value="quad"/>
    <offset x="0" y="0" z="0"/>
        <color red="1.0" green="0.4" blue="0.0" alpha="0.5" />
    <color-no-energy red="0.5" green="0.5" blue="0.5" alpha="0.0" />
        <size value="0.7"/>
        <size-no-energy value="0.1" />
        <speed value="0.5" />
    <gravity value="0"/>
        <emission-rate value="5" />
        <energy-max value="3" />
        <energy-var value="5" />
   
    <trajectory type="parabolic">
        <speed value="20"/>
        <scale value="1.5"/>
    </trajectory>
</projectile-particle-system>
The the minor change I have in mind, you would be able to have a flaming arrow, smoke trail, other little fiery effects in one XML.

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<projectile-particle-system>
        <texture value="true" luminance="true" path="images/defense_tower_particle_proj.bmp"/>
        <model value="true" path="../archer/models/archer_arrow.g3d"/>
    <primitive value="quad"/>
    <offset x="0" y="0" z="0"/>
        <color red="1.0" green="0.4" blue="0.0" alpha="0.5" />
    <color-no-energy red="0.5" green="0.5" blue="0.5" alpha="0.0" />
        <size value="0.7"/>
        <size-no-energy value="0.1" />
        <speed value="0.5" />
    <gravity value="0"/>
        <emission-rate value="5" />
        <energy-max value="3" />
        <energy-var value="5" />
   
    <trajectory type="parabolic">
        <speed value="20"/>
        <scale value="1.5"/>
    </trajectory>
</projectile-particle-system>

<projectile-particle-system2>
        <texture value="true" luminance="true" path="images/defense_tower_particle_proj.bmp"/>
        <model value="false"/>
    <primitive value="quad"/>
    <offset x="0" y="0" z="0"/>
        <color red="0.5" green="0.5" blue="0.5" alpha="0.5" />
    <color-no-energy red="0.5" green="0.5" blue="0.5" alpha="0.5" />
        <size value="0.6"/>
        <size-no-energy value="0.7" />
        <speed value="0.5" />
    <gravity value="-0.05"/>
        <emission-rate value="8" />
        <energy-max value="5" />
        <energy-var value="80" />
   
    <trajectory type="parabolic">
        <speed value="20"/>
        <scale value="1.5"/>
    </trajectory>
</projectile-particle-system2>
Now, I know these examples aren't based on the MG particle system, but the parameters that are in MG but not in this example do not effect the idea I'm trying to exemplify.


So, what do you guys think?
I can't imagine this would be very hard to make happen.

2: What is the status of multiplayer?
3: What is the status of particles, and what can you do with them?

Mods / Need help! Blender............
« on: 2 February 2010, 00:13:56 »
I've animated an object, I re-size the object and armature, and I get it the way I like it.
Then when I move off the current frame, Blender undoes my resizing, and if I go back to the frame I was on, it's still the wrong size!

Anybody know what to do?

Mods / Old Stickman Mod
« on: 28 January 2010, 01:39:03 »
I'm am the only person working on it, and my Dad may help a little, but it will be a very large mod, at least once it reaches a good and stable 1.0 stage.
At first it may not look that impressive and it will obviously have some errors, but those will be fixed later.
It will be very very small at first, focusing on good 3D art, but trust me, I will expand it and probably add more factions over-time.

I'm looking for anyone who wants to help me.
The work is already underway, and a 0.1 release should be coming in a few weeks.

This mod is kind of top secret until it's released, if you join me in production, you will be given credits(of course), and you will be told what the mod it going to be called and I will inform you of the website, I will also make you promise not to tell anybody else, if you do......................you'll just be ruining the surprise...

What I am looking for:

2D artists
3D artists
sound/musical artist(or anybody that can help in that area)
Coder(XML)
Coder(someone who I can call on to compile the source code, I will make some modifications to it.

I can do everything but compile, although help would be greatly appreciated.

Mods / Romans - Historically based! (WIP)
« on: 9 January 2010, 06:12:48 »
I've been seeing that I have less and less downloads of the Fantasy Romans faction, and I think that a new more historically based mod will be fun for Glesters.
I'm working on plans for this, I can model, and animate, but I'm looking for support in unwrapping/texturing as those are my weak areas.

Also, a show of hands, or rather posts........
Do you think this should be an open-blend project or should just a few people get together and not have the rest of the community help and give input.

I'll post what I have once I have the plans ready, and this vote is over.

Mods / Romans and beyond...
« on: 21 December 2009, 16:10:29 »
I propose that instead of new faction, that seems to fit in nowhere with Glest, that the community creates a series of factions that existed in the same time period as the Roman Empire, and hopefully faught with them.

Mark, you probably know a bit about who fought the Romans...

I think I'll do some research myself.......

List of adversaries:
Carthaginians
Barbarians
Grecians
Egyptians
