Largest I've started to build: 2.5km The framework took about 3 hours total to put together. Stopped work on it due to depreciation of a mod.

Done a little test, a 24 bit TGA file with an alpha channel is 48mb. A lot smaller than I would of guessed. And that's for 256 (216) texture resolution. EDIT: What about TIFF files? They support extra LAYER data, meaning you could put the texture and normal into one sheet. As well as height...

Well with a TGA file, the alpha channel is just that. It's own separate channel. This channel could be directly read by the shaders. Allowing for an extra layer of detail. I'm sure with some wizardry one could add even more channels, yes bloating the size of the file, but that's why it should...

Personally, I think TGA support should be there for textures. So you could still use PNGs to save download size, or opt-in to download larger TGA sheets with added layers for specular, emmissive, parallax and any other features that come along. Just having the option for those people with...

What? I'm working on a few other... things. Factioned, pixel perfect HUDs.

The logo has it's own lighting now, to it's very visible :P

Well I can't use the original, or reserved posts because old, but here are some new tracks! https://soundcloud.com/crusadeofficial/plasmoid-original-mix-free https://soundcloud.com/crusadeofficial/half-charged-original-mix https://soundcloud.com/crusadeofficial/spacehop-original-mix-free Enjoy!

Also, the ship in question.

While building a DFN-themed ship, I got annoyed at the pixelly logo. So I remade it with wedges.

Not at all. i just use it as a guide.

normal beam range is 500m. That only becomes an issue if your line is over 500m long, my 650m line just lets the carriage drift the rest of the distance. It's a simple solution.

Well the rails are simply lines of blocks. For corners i'll have to change a few things, shouldn't be overly complex though haha.

Well, with a bit of design work you'd be able to make it take 90 degree corners, simply have a stopper and another push beam to push it in the right direction when it reaches the corner. I prefer not having too many systems or logic on the moving bits to simplify the creation of the system...

To see exactly how I managed it, take a look at this: http://starmadedock.net/content/logic-elevator.985/ You can DL the elevator and tear it down, it has instructions on the page of how to use it properly.

Well the carriage is a ship. Using logic/plexdoors/stop beams, the car is stopped by plexdoors and a stop beam (to stop physics spazzing). 1/2 deeper or higher suggests docks are used through the entirety of this, docks are only used to simplify the alignment process of the carriage on the rail.

I've done a monorail system too, but it doesn't go around corners, simple point A to point B automatic system. Carriage comes in, gets locked in place via plexdoor, initiates countdown. When countdown is finished it pushes the carriage away with push beams. Only really usable on a space...

@OdraNoel Add my skype whenever you can: ninewave2 We will talk more there.

Yeah, it's a free-floating ship on a very (block for block) tight rail. Use push/pull beams to move
