Kupu's thread

[der_scheme]

You can discard the blue channel when using derivative normal maps (i think?)

I actually used it to essentially turn of reflections on surfaces, like for the inside of cannon barrels or missile launchers.

(I also still think that a per-block setting for specularity would be sufficient, in case this is easier to implement.)

Dear Kupu

Thank you for the warp core textured jump drives.

We love you.

Haha... They make nice nacelle grilles too. Now if only we had a red version. Perhaps the red version could be the powerful-and-compact-but-explosive reactor people have been talking about adding, if something like that is put in.

but the texture is reversed and goes up

My thoughts exactly.

STO right?

Yus, but the sto engineering was based on the enterprise E's

Downwards makes me feel depressive :p

+1 to change it going upwards. Just because it's so easy to do!

nu, keep it going down, and add red ones going up!

Can't you just rotate the modules? I haven't tried it, but it should be possible.

 

[Reilly Reese]

Its not set to be able to rotate

Seriously? Now that would be a problem, because there are obviously people who like the effect (me or instance) who would want to make different themed rooms (not me yet though).

Your Answer

Black glass is something that could be tweaked perhaps.

The new FTL update has arrived and no doubt discussions will arise around designs and functionality.
While it is all welcome, of course, do note the normal maps are placeholders, the Warpgate modules are waiting for 24 way orientation to allow a proper tiling pattern and until a new monitor arrives the colour values are considered "in limbo".

Those wanting a completely transparent warp gate, please follow these simple steps:

Open the T002.png file in any image editor capable of handling transparency.
Find the warp gate module texture and delete it (all 6 tiles), leaving only transparency, then save.

Open the Block Editor and under the Stations tab, select the warp gate module and toggle the options "Blended".
(potentially, you could set the block to non physical in the block editor too, but i'm not sure if it would conflict with the mechanics)

 

[FunnyBunny14]

I was talking about the jump modules.

 

[NuclearFun]

I need to tell you: i love your work, all the new modules are beautiful and functional. Building jump drives is so much fun.

 

[FunnyBunny14]

Ok, I just checked. They can't be rotated yet.

 

[kupu]

Well, thanks for the kind feedback all. :P

I will look into allowing the jump modules to be rotated, but we currently have some rotation bugs and really don't want to add more to the list unless it's a needed feature / design (gate modules).

Hopefully when they are 100% squashed, we can take a look at it.

Hey Kupu, why the new weapons icons are all pistols? or at least the last time i checked was

One word: placeholder.

 

[blurb357]

Hey Kupu, why the new weapons icons are all pistols? or at least the last time i checked was

they are place holders this is what he said to me :

Until new 3D art is made to generate new icons, we're using these pistol icons as placeholders. You can expect different icons for different weapons eventually.
