Paul, if you're looking for ideas you're welcome to any of my stuff. There is a lot more I haven't posted...

yarrick5, on reducing strafing: No. If you want to do that just edit your globals, its easy and I think it can even be done via the plug-in manager. I haven't tried that but from looking at ~/types/globals.txt, looks like changing lines 4-6 would suffice.

Edit, oh and sorry I haven't had time to continue testing that missile boat script CTD issue, been busy, will get back to it sooner than later (today, tomorrow, ...).

Dangit Paul, while youre sitting there rubbing the new ships in our faces, specially a problem for those of us that cant even play a Terran game, Why dont you do something useful!?

Like,
Using some of these screenshots to make loading screens. ^-^

It'd be easy enough to do that yourself, I have done it with some images myself.

Yes, Yes i could. However:
A) Paul already has the screenshots taken and I'm sure has others.
B) Paul has Way better graphics then i do. >.>
C) Even the 'Pirate Guild' has its own official loading screens!

But yeah, seriously, i just seen how good the ship screenshots looked and i figured 'ohhh, official XRM loading screens would be nifty' and posted about it,

So.

I agree, official XRM loading screen's would be cool and touch of class.

What I would really like is for someone to make a video of the xrm in action. Screenshots do not do it justice.

Hmm... what kind of clips do you want taken with FRAPS exactly?

Battles...? Scenes in the Universe...? Both...?

Was thinking....

- have it show the X3TC logo, and then have it fade in the word - "evolved" or something cheesy.
- cut to a ship that's flying through a wormhole (a new xrm ship or something). fade it out
- fade in and then cut through some short clips of some of the new sectors showcasing the improvements with as much gorgeous scenery, as possible, and featuring a different XRM fighter in each one.
- then have it cycle through some basic dogfighting, mention the new weapons, showcase a few quick cuts of different fighters shooting the new weaponry and killing enemy fighters.
- then the new missiles, missiles hitting ships, blowing them up and whatnot.
- then cut to some short clips of a few favourite capital ships.
- then cut to epic fleet battles.
- new guns, focus on shots of the new weapon effects and whatnot from a bunch of different battles.
- and then have it fade out and then have a snazzily PS'd XRM logo pop up.
- then to class it off, have betty say 'Welcome Aboard.'

*shrug*

What does everyone think?

M.

Because then that really will be showing off XRM

Hi!

I have another question about the missile barrages from M7Ms.

They appearently work as intended now.. which often means they don't really work. This is what I mean:

My M7M starts attacking a heavily defended target with a full barrage of 10 or 12 torpedos. Of those 4 or 5 get through the missile defense screen, maybe reducing the target's shields to 1/3 or 1/4. After this, the M7M only shoots "small" barrages every few seconds containing 3 or 4 missiles, which promptly all get shot down. Basically, after the first full barrage it wastes an entire load of torpedos against the missile defense.

What I'd like to know is, is there 1) a way around that, or 2) to disable the XRM version of the missile barrage and get the vanilla one back?

Thanks, Christoph

P.S.: On the topic of new ships.. any plans for the Argon to get any other M1 or M2 than the Colossus/Titan/Boreas? Personally I don't like the Boreas design much and the "vanilla" Argon battleships are a bit meh.. compared to the dozens of different battleships the terrans get, for example.

P.P.S.: Blergh. Ignore the P.S. Just read a few earlier posts, looks awesome!

P.P.P.S.: I should propably mention.. missile turrets are set on attack my target, auto targeting is off, no manual launches.
