Re: Malfadors New Site Is Up WITH SCREEN SHOTS!
i think that having graphics is selling out. I was really hoping that sev was going to be a pure command line type of game. Maybe different colour on the fonts but thats it

Tesco, you are in the beta, feel free to make that Mod. 
Here's a hint, the UI uses .bmp's but one can easilly make a frameset and UI using bitmap versions of the extended IBM ASCII character set.
Cheers!  |

Re: Malfadors New Site Is Up WITH SCREEN SHOTS!
Thats a point, has it been coded to allow us to use things other than BMPs?
Cos that was a huge wanted, especially for the use of animated .gifs

Re: Malfadors New Site Is Up WITH SCREEN SHOTS!
Yes, I like what I see. Especially the hex grid. 
Except the system screen. U-gly! And trying to get my pointer on one of those back side hexes could cause serious damage to my monitor screen and knuckles.

I'm sure you'll be able to move the camera to get different views, such as top down etc! |

It is possible to rotate system. But I agree, zoomed out planets look horribly - sharp edges, slightly distorted proportions (flaw of early 3d-engines). I hope it will be improved in time. |

Scrap BMP, use PNG. This format support alpha-channel at least.

Re: Malfadors New Site Is Up WITH SCREEN SHOTS!
My only nitpick is that the stars waste a huge amount of space in the system veiw. Why not keep the stars small?
