The People's Mod

[Gandalf_greypilgrim]

We're alive! The People's Mod has moved homes, over to http://www.nemesys.ca . Work is finally getting under way, and we are hoping to get a new version out the door very, very soon. We are in need of people to help out. We need people to give us their suggestions, to test out the mod to help us find and eliminate bugs. People to help with coding and with graphics would be greatly appreciated. So, come on over to the site, register on the forums, and give us your suggestions! You can also download the latest version from our download section.

Here's an idea I just had for no apparent reason:

For animating a beam weapon, instead of using four separate images, try making one image, and then using a sequence of overlapping slices from it. Any particles or variations in your beam will then naturally look like they are flowing down the beam.
It will also save space, since you're reusing pixels in your BMPs.

Thinks that's good? Just wait until you see what we have lined up for the next version.

I'm trying it out tonight, but from the screenshots it looks really cool.

I've also a news item at my site to help promote the mod and the website in an effort to get some more Star Fury buzz.
