True enough, but again it's the same situation of them initially being implemented as refined resources in only full blocks. As purposes for blocks change, you can expect the visuals to change with them. :)

Ha, yea it's a fair point. I'll bring it up for discussion with the team again and see what the consensus is.

As for the bevel "cut" on the crystals, yes they do look odd when wedged. The texture was made this way as singular blocks, cut from raw resources before wedge crystals were an option. As such we never had to consider them in anything other than a full block style. I will consider changing...

Can't argue with that logic. Let's put it in!

;) This is putting something mostly broken into the game and calling it a situational feature. I have no intentions of doing that, sorry.

Yes, this has been discussed before and even tested in game. :) Unfortunately the answer remains the same. While it is a really great idea, the current way rotations are handled will prevent us assigning a single texture to the sloped face on a wedge permanently. Making it almost useless...

This was originally planned, we even have the frames required in the texture sheets. However a new single face animation system needs to be made for it to happen and development priorities were, and still are placed on features.

Being on Linux should make no difference :) I'll PM you to discuss this further to avoid us filling the thread with off topic tech support. For others wanting to discuss this specific topic, please create a thread in the Game Support sub-forum for testers and support staff to see.

It does sound like it, yes. This is good news, in a way. The texture file being distributed does not have these artifacts on it originally, so re downloading it should hopefully resolve the issue. the file to remove is located in Starmade/data/textures/block/256/ t002.PNG and t002_NRM.TGA...

Having hundreds of colours at the players disposal would be great. However... Custom RGB sliders or colour pickers for blocks has been consistently rejected because of performance reasons. It uses more data per block to achieve this. A slightly tangent conversation that has taken place...

A more crucial question now might be; are you playing through Steam or the (new) beta launcher? There seems to be a trend. ^^'

I'm unable to replicate this issue. A couple of things that would be helpful to know are; - Are you using Normal map / Emissives ? - Does this same effect happen in the Pixel texture pack - What launcher are you using to download the game?* *We seem to be having quite a few reports of...

When doing these newest blocks i had the same idea. :D I'll make a note of this and keep it in consideration for later on.

Could we get a bit more information on this one please? Are you still experiencing this? Are you using any custom textures or effects? Are you in deep void space or the tutorial sector? Do you have emissive maps on or off? Have you tried redownloading the game or deleting the texture and...

Hm, it appears fine for me. :/ I'll look into this, thanks.

I hope you're all enjoying the new update... however i need to ask for a favor from anyone willing. ^^' If you have time, could you double check that the heal beam is being rendered correctly? If it appears black within your game just leave me a message here or in PM. "But kupu, don't you...

Yea, exactly this. New rail blocks are visualizations. The same will be implemented for Area Triggers and Cargo Space too. They will all follow the same format, something completely different to existing blocks. Utilitarian, colourful, with a simple symbol to to make it very clear these are...

This is an existing issue, probably exacerbated by my test changes. Things like thruster plumes, selection boxes and build preview seem to confuse the z-buffer allowing backgrounds and blooms to pour through.

I'm unsure if this texture set is up to date... but incase it is, make sure you have downloaded the content from the community content page (64x64 DirtySpace), then extracted them to the correct paths. The path for texture pack installs is as follows; Starmade/data/textures/block/ So the...
