It's not the textures themselves that animate, you just need to alter the blockconfig.xml. Find <Animated>True</Animated> lines and swap them to false. These previews are the same size and fidelity as will go into the 256 pack. What happens in Opengl compression is out of my hands...

I did think about it, but it would kill performance. Some people already struggle with gens and shields.

Haha, yes. Some of them are. It's just showcasing the tiling. The actual texture shown on a block 216 pixels, the rectangular ones are the full 256 showing it's tiling. Left side of the 216 pixel boundary being connected to the right side of the 216 pixel boundary. Hull textures are...

I set a rough guide of 2 weeks (this excludes normal mapping + the flora update). I just want to get it done asap for the crafting system. So as soon as it's done you'll get it :) Few more previews for you all! (because i really didn't expect such a response :oops:) I really liked the...

Animated textures can be turned off in the block config. Open the blockconfig.xml file in the Starmade/data/config directory with a text editor, notepad will do fine. Use the search function CMD+F for mac, CTRL+F (i think?) for windows and type <Animated>true</Animated> into the search bar...

Rebel pilots!

Thanks for the kind words! 1) Yea, some of the monitors will be clones of the weapon CPU's with different info / colours, others will be completely unique. 2) Controversial topic; In short, no. The flora is being completely redesigned and is only partly based on previous defaults, some...

Yea, i am. But GIMP, Pixlr or older versions of photoshop will work just as well for this. You don't need a complex program to do SM textures. I briefly mentioned how here; I'm using a drawing tablet, but again, it's not essential.

This was mentioned in the Q&A's and i think directly responded to on the old site, but the progress of SE is not something we are using as a yardstick. We're not trying to achieve what they have, so there is no "beating us to it". They're different games with different ultimate directions...

Aw no! If you wanted to make one, just do it! It's good fun and it's always nice to see community creations. Besides, we can only ever get better if we try right? :) Yes, this will be replacing the "realistic" set as a default preset and Cartoon + Old Style will be removed. Pixel...

Correct, they will be cannons. The term AMC will no longer be it's official label. Water will probably receive an animation at some point. Other than that, all non animated blocks will remain non animated for the near future... although i would like to add more animated deco blocks. :)

Probably not from every single face, not unless you have eagle eyes. There will be subtle differences but nothing drastic. Decals relating to the blocks role will be on the top and sides of CPU blocks, the back will remain as ports, vents and wiring of varying colours with the bottom left...

Connected textures is something we have briefly talked about. I quite like the idea of it for hull blocks, however I can't remember if it was completely possible or not though. If it was, it would take some time to make / bugfix. Precious time that would be better spent on the weapons /...

Let me know if you get stuck :D

Ah :D Well these textures should be ready in 2 weeks if everything goes well. As for the process? I start by drawing on a scrap of paper with a biro, haha. My desk is a mess with random papers and scribbles on. Some of them are painted by hand in photoshop (like the attached picture) but...

I'd like to make more player skins and just upload them in this site's own content library for pubic use. Having anymore skins shipped with the game as default is more Omni's domain. (I've been stacking up ideas on potential skins i want to make though :D) I'm sorry, i don't understand the...

Not any time soon, no. It's something i'll consider when the new default textures are all done and up to an acceptable standard, but until then it just dilutes my effort. I'm sure eventually it'll get a facelift to better correspond to the new set.

Leave them all on, thats default settings and probably for the best. :)

Mipmapping will blur textures at a distance preventing sharp texture noise. The link to an image below will help show it. It may be on already, it's just the latest screen shot looked a little noisy so i thought i'd check. Thats all :) http://libcinder.org/docs/v0.8.4/images_mipmapCompare.png

Out of curiosity, do you have MipMapping enabled in the Advanced options? [Texture 2D Mipmap] Your screen shot looks unusually noisy.
