Re: XFile Creation and XFileClasses Effects

Not even close to radians.
Planets unrotated are on their sides... the rotate X 50 flips them 180 degrees and the rotate z 25 makes them right side up (not sure why X isn't ignored and X set to...

dyslexically correct... Thanks!

Need to fix my graphics... black edges and not enough frames of animation.

But... I now have a small moon orbiting a planet... with an inclined orbital plane...

Re: Planet Textures

Maybe the rotation speeds and even the initial conditions could be randomized a bit... so they aren't all turning in sync?

Continual Rotation Speed := Random(-0.0002, 0.0002)

I created an Effect, that I want to retain the original bitmap's color, without any transparency or 'brightness' recoloring. How do I do that?

Blend_Zero seems to result in a...

Re: XFile Creation and XFileClasses Effects

I get it... you mean rotate in position, where I meant rotate in orientation. Yeah, that would work for small sprites around a planet.

Anyway, I agree that wouldn't be practical for clouds, but...

Re: XFile Creation and XFileClasses Effects

How do you control "rotate around the z axis" in the effects?

Re: XFile Creation and XFileClasses Effects

I think I understand... I was referring to effects as listed in the XFileClasses_Stellar.txt, like Planet Glow, which is facing the camera, regardless of the planet orientation.

Re: XFile Creation and XFileClasses Effects

But those clouds sprites wouldn't be effects added to the planet, they would be independent entities on the map... which as you said would be expensive.

If the cloud bmp's were effects added to...

So, the problem with using stellar effects for the clouds is that the camera isn't fix on a normal to the axis of rotation... and the effects are not really 3D, so the clouds would rotate over the...

Re: XFile Creation and XFileClasses Effects

I was just wondering, after making all those planet textures, whether it was possible to make "weather" into Stellar Effects, or otherwise mapped separately from the planet texture.

Something like...

Where do I get information on the creation and editing of Stellar XFiles, and on creating Effects in the XFilesClasses, like Star Glow and Planet Glow.

Re: OT: The theory of everything?

There are a lot of symmetries in physics... so injecting physics into complex symmetries (like the E8) is likely to come up with some apparent correlations.

Right, you just really need the Balance Mod... but some ship sets should be the next not-so-important thing on your list http://www.spaceempires.net/home/shipyards-g-SE5.html

Re: OT Which would you Choose

Heh, Abydos go boom!
Most of scifi is pretty weak on "future evolution" stuff. And that darn Trek non-interference has pervaded too much scifi as an excuse for dismissing advanced beings.

Re: OT Which would you Choose

Well, since SG1 and B5 are the only options for ascension... and B5 only gives it to messianic elites like Sheridan. I'll choose SG1 while Oma is still helping people out.

Re: Patch v1.58 has been released!

Is there a new system visibility bug? I just opened a warp to a new system, and it was already mapped, but I had never been there and I didn't change the visibility rules in the game config.
