Yep! (although i'm a little slow on the reveal here... it's currently in Dev builds ^^' ) So we've been hard at work with the Cargo update, as most of you know. This presented a pretty interesting challenge in terms of textures for a few reasons. Because they appear dynamically in various...

therimmer96 Hm, i'll have a look into it and see if it is an actual lighting issue, or the distortion of the texture. If it's the latter, it puts us in a difficult position to fix without potentially creating over 170 new unique texture tiles.

It was his first iteration i think, in 2012. A 16x16 texture set. I *think* i found a video of it.

Which is this; In case you (or others) were wondering on how to change that in the settings. :)

Better to make a game in what you know, as opposed to writing poor, un-optimised code in a language you don't know because somebody said C++ "can" be faster. :P

Yea. Pipes *should* have rotation enabled. Animated textures are currently unable to rotate.

:D Nah, don't worry about that Mariux. I've slowly been checking suggestions and posts here for colour requests for the past year. So the next set of colours are decided already. Feel free to poke that decorative block request thread though.

There is nothing in place that stops me showing you the concepts for dead projects. But i personally don't want to show them for 2 reasons. 1; They were either rough concepts or simply not as good as i would make them now. So i want to keep them hidden ^^' 2; They could start an irrelevant...

Ah i see. Because slabs currently occupy the same space as a full block, they have the same structural stats as a full block. Your suggestion would allow 1 full hull block to cover more space, for less cost, at the same stats by using the slab form. Unless structural stats changed per slab...

Slabs work on the grid system similar to all other block types for performance reasons.

Looks like your having some rendering issues on wedges, mate. What is your VBO setting in the advanced options of the launcher? (If on a Radeon card, this thread has fixed a number of issues; http://starmadedock.net/threads/for-all-amd-radeon-users-read-this.6184/#post-89188 )

From another thread, but still relevant. http://starmadedock.net/threads/some-blocks-want-to-be-slabs.21934/#post-247435 We will look into it, basically. :)

Not currently, Sorry. We are working on some changes to support GUI scaling and better legibility options though. It is something we hope to resolve soon.

Most of your suggestions would require some new texture works. Something we are yet to fully explore with slabs. Currently slabs are only on basic blocks, such as hull and glass variants. This is because the texture is squashed* and not overly noticeable from a middling distance. Deco...

Yea. I can get behind bits of this. However, don't forget at that time everything had that metallic shine and a tendency to blow out colours in the faintest hints of sunlight. Overall, the lighting was not good. Overall the textures were not great. Quite a lot of our colours and lighting...

*Snip* Sorry pals, debates on the names of a colour is just too off topic to take up more than half a page. :) Cyan / Turquoise / Powder Blue / Spearmint / Sky Blue / Aqua etc, have all been suggested before under the umbrella "Teal".

I am not yet done. >: )

This is a good question, one i don't think i have been asked or answered before. With the recent departure of some old staff members, certain projects and concepts got abandoned, delayed or will be taken back to the drawing board to be started fresh. The terrain textures i was showing...

Ok Ladies and Gents, A new release is upon us. Let's see what we're getting! A new hull colour? wait- lack of colour? Dark Grey Hulls. Oh boy! We now have (if we count basic hull as separate colour values) 8 colours spread across the grey-scale spectrum. Black has also been made...

Slabs currently use the same slot as a full block. You simply specify the slab size before placing it. Picking up the slab will give you back a full block.
