Similar to many other things like infestations, that sort of thing is much more complex than the basic Fauna setup. While I think just about anyone would agree that would be awesome, it's important to get the most basic systems/gameplay components/features in before working toward more complex...

Indeed. By taking a separate model and exporting it to the proper format with the proper animation names and file names, dropping it in the right directory will make StarMade use it. :) You'd need a different texture to fit your texture/UV map, of course, which also means the custom skins of...

While dropping the overlay on there does a lot by itself, working more specifically with it can have quite amazing results. For example, try the blend mode Color Burn. (If you're using Photoshop, that is.) I find that when doing skin (like Dave's face/head) it looks better if I have one shading...

Yo. 'Sup. Actually relevant comment: it's amazing how much file size increases with texture size. It makes perfect sense, but is still interesting.

Great to see people bringing SMEdit back to life. :) Sounds like you have big plans, and some pretty awesome ones. :) But remember that keeping the core of the program functional and efficient is always top priority!

Hmm. Picking up SMEdit as the name could indeed prove an issue or something worth changing at some point. Can't say for sure. But for now it's at least valuable for name recognition. (At least as long as the original author of SMEdit doesn't have a problem with it.) That being said, I think...

Love the feel. It looks more like something real, like it's a heads-up display on someone's visor, not like someone welded bars to the sides of your screen. More immersive this way. Just looking at the screenshots, I do wonder if the brightness would be a bit uncomfortable or distracting when...

Oh ho! Someone is perceptive. ;) We don't want to tell you how to play your game if you want to play it a different way. Sometimes you want a guided experience, but sometimes you want to guide the experience yourself. Let us set the terms, or have fun on your own terms. And with modding, those...

While exactly how it could be implemented effectively is a difficult matter (as it's a reasonably complex action to perform), I've always liked the idea of things that could get aboard your ship if you leave the doors open and, if there's a place for them to go that is hidden away, hide and...

While I fear you may have a severe punctuation deficiency, (just teasing) I'd be happy to see what you might make when the options are there. :) But I think the point is more for us to provide you with the easiest, most flexible and most efficient system possible with the goal of letting you...

Giving way to an insanely diverse universe? That's the plan. :D I'll be doing everything I can to make things as variable, unpredictable and diverse as possible. And NOT like Spore, where everything may look different but it all acts exactly the same. (Also true of Starbound, though it isn't...

...that's actually an extremely elegant and simple way of doing it. Good thinking. :) Not sure what a final implementation of weapon coloring might be, but this method would certainly take care of the problem of random lights needed to be placed on the ship or being able to flip colors at will...

Was about to do this at your request, then realized I was beaten to the punch. ;) Glad to see it was taken care of more quickly than I would have! (Busy weekend.) Not sure if they left a thread redirect in the WIP forum for a day, and they didn't post in the thread referencing the action, but...

I also have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it has intriguing intuitive qualities. That's generally what most of things like these are designed for. On the other hand, "intuitive" implies easy to figure out, and who the hell is going to think "If I strap a red lightbulb to the side of my...

KotOR and KotOR 2 are both awesome games. I approve of this.

While certainly possible, it would require quite a bit of attention from the kitty which would slow the development of other things. Also, if the system relies on algorithms for procedural mesh generation, this makes it more difficult for modders to add in their own things. It might be possible...

Is that a Reaper? o_O Unfortunately, technical limitations do limit variety or detail to an extent. Some details such as methods of communication may need to be up to the imagination of the player, or maybe associated flavor text. (Additional informative text which is purely lore and has no...

Because you are an octopus.

Oooo... I like this thread. I like this thread a lot. Keep the ideas coming! I'll be keeping an eye on the thread and taking any good ideas into account. (Tempted to sticky it, even.) "Randomly generated" is, without a doubt, false. While there will be random components to add variety, true...

So true... so, so true.... Touché. Just don't disrespect the octopuses and I won't have to mobilize the merfolk army.
