If the animation steps are causing severe FPS drops i think the player will have bigger things to worry about when playing this game. That being said, it might be possible to include it as a launcher option since it's not actually a texture pack function. I'll see if it's possible.

Aw yiss. The R&D threads have been some of the best on here on the forums in my opinion. This is on the watch list.

Yea, i think so. I'm torn actually on how much i should make emissive for the shield and power blocks. These things are really common and animated. I'm not sure if it would be annoying or not to see a bunch of spinny things lit up all the time.. Thoughts? Yea, you can. Would be nice...

I couldn't speak for the code side of it. It might even work. However as a player, would i want it? Nope. This is my limited knowledge on why i think gameplay would suffer. From what i am interpreting from the ideas here, a plane would be mapped to a sphere. Let's image our plane as a grid...

No. Blocks with an emissive won't have a light source. As of now this is not an option and most likely won't be in the initial release of new textures. In the future, it could be.

Not really. You can make it as large as you like, but you still warp the same coordinates by the same degree into 2 poles at each end of the sphere. Any orbital to surface interaction suffers as a consequence.

No, they don't illuminate. Think of emissive maps as removing shadows. The texture area defined by the emissive map will never go dark, or only a % of darkness depending on the texture. This gives the illusion of glowing when in the dark.

Well, you can completely disable them in the options, however if you want to "turn off" the block that is glowing, it would require an activate (r) state + texture, with no emission texture in that state. Most of these blocks don't have an activation state, to add them would require an...

Thanks :) So many texture things in the works currently... easy to miss things like this.

You end up warping co-ordinates around the sphere's poles which would cause navigation / projectile problems. Sphere planets, made from cubes, is most likely not going to happen. edit; Necro? :O

Thanks for the info, Thadius. I've not experienced this myself... nor have the team. It's quite possibly a result of the additions to the shaders as it seems some certain cards suddenly experienced graphical bugs where there were none before. It's on the tracker so the testers will be...

Version? Normal mapping on? Any artefacts on any other non hull blocks? Do you get the same distortions when using the Pixel pack?

These are amazing! Haha, this one made me laugh. Reminded me of solid snake in a box for some reason. Just shuffling around ^^

Correct! You know when idea's start to snowball? ... i think that 50 - 60% estimation was a tad high. We could be providing a little more along with it. ^^

So today we are sitting at around 50, maybe 60%. Fresh off the press, a very rough WiP. I don't suppose it needs much explaining? You shouldn't have to use a flashlight to see you're computer screens eh? Time to fix a brew and get drawing.

Deco pipes will be orientable in the next release. Jump drives, conduits and any animated block using the 3 face texture assignment seemingly can't rotate. I'll keep poking.

Yea, it's a waiting game now. :)

I'm not sure. I'll give it 5 minutes. If nothing changes i'll try swap it.

Panpiper I'm not sure if you need privileges. The option is under Content Tools on the right side under Version info. If you can't see the option, just send me the new icon i can swap it for you quickly.

Hey, at least you get that burger...
