For those wondering. I have been updating code to work in 95. So now that is done, I may be going in to do more tweaks to the material system.
As it stands 2 issues:
1: I don't really have anything covering during nanoframe so it is mostly black during that process.
2: The same goes when cloaked, it is black instead of showing proper colors. I need to rectify this.
i want to try and see if I can learn from PL's code on piece attachment, however, I am not sure having multiple materials per unit is really feasible so no one get excited yet.

so have a video of a sea butterfly instead!

played around creating a new unit to try and find a new hole in my unit creation scripts. not really a big deal

I might start modeling this guy next. I am not sure. After the long week I have had I am not sure. Picasso wanted more hand drawings as I go. this is one of them. It would be about half the height of the badger.

Great concept, but I think the feet should be bigger (150%?).

I think behe means an AI-enemy faction.
It looked like some form of cannon-fodder to me too
First thought was of Tremors 3, though.
Feet definitely an improvement I think.
And it looks cool; wonder what it'll do...

Looks like the front third of a gila monster to me... also "Zoids" ... also brings to mind Star Wars troop carriers...
I like it.

Done with this guy, moving on to work on code again for a bit.
Next models would be:
yes, that is an amphibious unit, yes it is a giant lobster.
Giant mega unit(not sure how I am going to do it's legs)
when I named the faction
BEHEMOTH, I MEANT IT!

thanks go to pako for helping me work around the issue with spring's random number generator.
These are based on a configuration file:
Code: Select all
local loadscreens = {
{
tipText = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.",
tipColor = {1.0,0.2,0.2,0.6},
tipImage = "bitmaps/ui/loadingscreen/5units.png",
},
{
tipText = "look at all the colors ERHMAGERD!",
tipColor = {1.0,0.2,0.2,0.6},
tipImage = "bitmaps/ui/loadingscreen/panels.png",
},
{
tipText = "MEGUSTA!",
fontAlign = "center",
tipFontSize = 48,
tipColor = {0.0,1.0,0.0,1.0},
tipImage = "bitmaps/ui/loadingscreen/megusta.png",
},
{
tipText = "look at all the colors AWESOME!",
tipColor = {1.0,0.2,1.0,0.6},
tipFontSize = 64,
fontShadow = false,
tipImage = "bitmaps/ui/loadingscreen/awesome.png",
},
}
return loadscreens
so when I go to do tool tips in the future will be able to setup randomized load screens.
Odds are I will expand this to be a bit nicer but the fact that I have it now is great so I will play with it more later!
