Thanks!Sorry, this one slipped by.
These are experimental packs and should be used with caution, so back up your Starmade folder before altering.
As for the installation, It should simply be a folder named 'Data' when extracted. Copy and paste this into your Starmade install folder, click replace files when prompted. That's all you need to do.
So something like a conversion update might arrive in the future, setting all previously non-rotatables to the 'default' position for existing ships and blueprints?
No problem, boss.
Not sure exactly. Hopefully it's not something so severe. There are a few odd issues with a specific layout settings used by conduits and scanners, i'm hoping it's just a nuance of that setting which can be fixed in a similar way to the recent hull / hazard stripe fixes.
Lol sorry; in hindsight that did sound weird. All I mean is... Most people were asking for different color variants (textures) of the existing console, not new models altogether. So, wouldn't that be your area?
:D
Sweet! This will save a lot on block ID's.
No, it won't save anything on block IDs. It would just mean that having multiple blocks with the same model wouldn't mean multiple copies of the same mesh inside the files.Sweet! This will save a lot on block ID's.
Now, if this could be applied to the Hull, Standard and Advanced Armor, you could save numerous ID's and provide loads more textures.
Hey Kupu, when you refer to multiple textures over the same mesh, are you referring to a single block with a kind of texture pack that can be mapped over the same mesh in the block or multiple blocks with the same mesh and individual textures from the existing texture pack? I would welcome such a feature.
Sand in your jump drive?
FINALLYThe new texture set is hopefully going to be ready in approximately 5 weeks from now. I'm drawing up my schedule for the remaining blocks, building my material library for the new lighting and buying more coffee... wish me luck star-mates.
While it may not of seen like a huge boon at the time, this new lighting system was required for the new pack to work effectively. Hopefully i have a couple of shots here to help illustrate that.
While they are not final, nor particularly exciting in subject, it showcases an ability we've not really had in starmade before. We can stop wrestling with lighting issues and give more accurate material properties, shiny things will shine, dull things won't. Plastics, rubber, metal, sand, all different. It's the little things :D
Glinting sand in the sun. Dull in the shade.
Shiny metals, coated metals, scratched metals... all a little less plastic ^^'
I'll continue to show more (exciting) blocks in the future. We're nearly on the home straight. Thanks for the patience and support <3
I stand by my point! While we have the shiny bit down, we don't have reflections, which for stuff like chrome / gold i think would be absolutely necessary to make these blocks look different to normal hulls.
Wow, that makes a heck of a difference. Like switching from Minecraft to Crysis!The new texture set is hopefully going to be ready in approximately 5 weeks from now.
