My List of Ship Fixes/Changes

This thread contains my list of ship fixes in ships.xml. I will keep this list updated. I'll be working on this mostly with Beelzebub. Let me know if everything is good, or if I'm missing something.

List of WIP or Problems
- Mini Mad Scientist has a bad engine, but I feel it works fine for the bigger t20 version. Need to test it. If its true, Mini Mad Scientist needs its own Index.

-Oversized Wingship needs its own index so its engine works.

-I would prefer that the Oversized Rosburst have its own Index, its engine is still inside the ship, after I fixed it so that the Rosburst looks fine.

-After some time, my basil slaves decide to become fatter (wider) compared to normal basils.

Thanks for all the fixes. =) Please make a new post for additional changes rather than editing to make sure I see anything new.

Or he could just bump this post?

Post subject:	Re: My List of Ship Fixes
Thats the plan, yep. Is there any way I can change ships myself to point to different indexes, or make new indexes? I have done like zero research myself as to if I can actually do that to be honest. Anybody know?

Author:	JeffL [ Mon May 23, 2011 11:34 am ]
Post subject:	Re: My List of Ship Fixes
The indexes are specified in the server-side hull data, which is used in C1 to specify which image to use. We just re-use those in C2 to index into the ships.xml file.

Post subject:	Re: My List of Ship Fixes
Ah I see, and the main problem I've been seeing with that is that even though ships are supposed to look the same with one larger than the other, the size difference (for example with Oversized Wingship and normal Wingship as listed at the top of my thread) causes the issue with the engines. Then again, I've also seen the size difference work fine, for example the Massif and Massif II use the same index, and as I changed the values for engine mounts, it changed correctly for both ships. This may also be the case with the Mini Mad Scientist and the App Ward. Engine is bad for Mini Mad, but might actually work fine on the App Ward. Pretty sure they use the same index.

Post subject:	Re: My List of Ship Fixes
Im not sure if this is true but i think we previously used differnt scalling methods so they may not all be the same and that could be causing the issues. Massif is for sure the new stuff because of the awesome way the animations where done.

Author:	JeffL [ Mon May 23, 2011 2:14 pm ]
Post subject:	Re: My List of Ship Fixes
This is actually a known problem. My current plan of action is to basically just make due with the engine problems for these ships that currently share indexes, and then once we're off of C1, split the indexes of all the problematic ships.

Author:	Gamepro08 [ Mon May 23, 2011 2:29 pm ]
Post subject:	Re: My List of Ship Fixes
Sounds good. With that said, I'll just take note of what needs to be fixed or my assumptions on what to check, as I've been doing at the top of the thread. This week is going to be less about engines, as I'm going to be taking a deeper look into the UI and see if I can come up with anything for it. That, as well as just other things I can find. More exploring the client side stuff. I'm just trying to find something else to do than the boring job of checking engines

Post subject:	Re: My List of Ship Fixes
You could look at trying to add some environment buffers to some other ships. Maybe the Goldenboy line? Or maybe adding some glowmaps if you have any photoshop skillz.

Post subject:	Re: My List of Ship Fixes
Except I don't like the glowmaps to begin with I mean look at the Behemoth... That thing needs a tone down. Actually, now I want to play around with that glowmap, rather than an intensity issue, it may be an issue with the picture. Hm. Yeah, I'll look into that a bit

Is it just me? I mean... the Behemoth glowmap is so... fuzzy... I even tried making the pixel of each window down to 1, and its still very fuzzy... fuzzy is about as good as I can describe it.

Well, as the texture gets mapped onto the geometry, you're not going to get anything that's pixel-perfect. Also, the glow map probably has a glow shader on it which makes it bleed the light.

I might do some Paxian Glow maps during a a break at work or something. I also have a Guardian glow map around here somwhere I think... #walks off into the computer with a lantern and shovel...

Oh, yeah, that's a good point. I had forgotten about the Paxian glowmaps. We definitely need us some of those.
