There's the classic autotools, and the newer (recommended) cmake. If you have cmake installed, you should try it.<br /> <br /> ===With CMake (recommended) ===<br /> <br /> Building with CMake is just building with Make, only the configure part can be done interactively, and all intermediate files are tidily put in their own folders:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> cd ./vegastrike<br /> mkdir build<br /> cd build<br /> ccmake .. # this will pop up an interactive configuration screen, press &quot;c&quot; to autoconfigure, <br /> # and once it's done &quot;g&quot; to generate everything and exit.<br /> # Or edit stuff and follow on-screen instructions if you know what you're doing.<br /> make<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> If for some reason you want to see the compiler commands, you can press ''t'' while in ccmake and toggle the ''CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE'' option from ''OFF'' to ''ON'' and press ''c'' to reconfigure and ''g'' to regenerate the ''Makefile''.<br /> <br /> Now you can run from the build folder:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> cd ./vegastrike<br /> ./build/vegastrike # to play the game<br /> ./build/vegastrike --debug=3 # to generate detailled logs for bug reporting<br /> ./build/setup/vssetup # to edit game settings<br /> ./build/mesh_tool/mesh_tool # mesh converter, for modding<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ===With Autotools (deprecated) ===<br /> The build procedure should look like the following listing. Remember the configure part depends on above requirements. Though autoconf may not work, if so just skip it.<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> cd ./vegastrike<br /> ./bootstrap-sh<br /> ./configure --enable-flags='-O3 -g' # or --enable-debug to disable optimization. -ffast-math will cause problems in code that checks for infinities. Note that in the first flag there's a capital 'o', not a zero.<br /> make<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> Now you can run from the build folder:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> cd ./vegastrike<br /> ./vegastrike # to play the game<br /> ./vegastrike --debug=3 # to generate detailled logs for bug reporting<br /> ./vssetup # to edit game settings<br /> ./mesher # mesh converter, for modding<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Custom Makefile creation and usage===<br /> ====Configure====<br /> If you plan to install, when you're configuring:<br /> <br /> * To be sure '''set the data dir''' to your vs-data dir:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ./configure --with-data-dir=&lt;DIR&gt; ........<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> * When using '''libpng 1.2''', <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> --with-png-inc=&lt;DIR&gt;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> is needed. An example is <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> --with-png-inc=/usr/include/libpng12/<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> * If you don't want to compile with '''GTK''' just turn it off, however you will not get a setup program if you do this:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ./configure --disable-gtk ...........<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> * If you only want the server, and want to disable all GUI components--This removes the dependency on X11, OpenGL, SDL, GLUT, OpenAL.<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ./configure --disable-client ...........<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> * See [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=1147 this] thread about boost versions. Set this option to 1.28, 1.29, 1.33, or &quot;system&quot; if the default does not compile.<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ./configure --with-boost=&lt;VER&gt; ...........<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> You will likely receive some error messages during any of these stages, especially during the configure part. If they tell you that your system is missing some development libraries, install them. How this is done depends on your Linux distribution, but we will assist you in the [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewforum.php?f=5 Compiling Problems forums]. You will be left with a file called &quot;config.log&quot; please attach that instead of copy-and-pasting thousands of lines of error messages. It's all in this file.<br /> <br /> After you installed the missing libraries repeat the last (failed) step and continue.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Note:''' The configure script currently has a bug that can cause it to incorrectly report on the absence of GLUT. If you are sure you have installed glut-devel and are still seeing this error, check near the end of config.log to see if another library (such as libxmu or libxi) is the true culprit. [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=7562]<br /> <br /> === Using Python 3 ===<br /> Install as above &lt;code&gt;libpython3.4 libpython3-all-dev libpython3.4-dbg&lt;/code&gt; (not quite necessary, but if you're compiling a development version...)<br /> Then configure VS to use it. Simply typing a different version (e.g. &quot;3.4&quot;) in cmake/ccmake is '''not''' enough - it may not even find the right files. Replace &quot;2.7&quot; to &quot;3.4&quot; in specific paths '''PYTHON_'''* paths. But that's not all - '''Boost_PYTHON_LIBRARY_'''* paths point at something like &quot;/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python.so&quot;, which is likely to be symlink to a ''Python 2'' library. In this case you'll get lots of errors like<br /> &lt;pre&gt;CMakeFiles/vegaserver.dir/src/cmd/script/director_server.cpp.o:director_server.cpp:(.text+0x139): more undefined references to `boost::python::detail::init_module(PyModuleDef&amp;, void (*)())' follow<br /> /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python.so: undefined reference to `PyString_Size'<br /> &lt;/pre&gt; So check what this path really does:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> $ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python*<br /> lrwxrwxrwx ... /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python.so -&gt; libboost_python-py27.so<br /> &lt;/pre&gt; Now, back in Cmake replace it with whatever link on the list is appropriate for your version (&quot;/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python-py34.so&quot; in our case).<br /> <br /> ====Make====<br /> The final step for compiling is the make command. The Makefile should be able to compile most of the included utilities.<br /> <br /> To compile mesher, for example, type:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;make mesher&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> * Running <br /> &lt;pre&gt;make all-am&lt;/pre&gt; <br /> reduces memory usage while compiling because there's only one instance of make instead of two. From [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=9510 this forum thread].<br /> * The step<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> make install<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> is optional as the program is quite happy running in userland.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Note: You should not need to type &quot;make clean&quot;, however if you experience errors like &quot;unresolved external symbol&quot; it may remedy that error.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Note: If you receive error without any mention of missing library (or something like) after very long line about running g++, try to set proper permissions or simply force your way through it and see whether it's your problem (if you're superuser). It looks like that:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status<br /> make[1]: *** [vegastrike] Error 1<br /> make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/username/Games/VegaStrike/vegastrike'<br /> make: *** [all] Error 2<br /> ~/Games/VegaStrike/vegastrike$ sudo make<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Install====<br /> Installing is not really necessary to play, but you can do it if you wish to have the game accessible to all users. Otherwise, you can play by executing binary after it's built by the compiler.<br /> <br /> If you do want to install, you'll need root access:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> sudo make install<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Setup and run the development version==<br /> <br /> ===Setup===<br /> This step is not necessary — the binaries should normally figure out where they are with respect to the data directory, but if the version you are using can't do this then you may need to follow these instructions.<br /> <br /> To run Vega Strike, the built executables need all the configuration and data files to be in the right place relative to them. Currently, the executables (''vegastrike'' and ''vssetup'') reside in the source code directory. But they can be run out of the ''data'' directory. Therefore, we can create a link.<br /> * Change in to the ''data'' directory. (We are still in the source code directory ''vegastrike''.)<br /> &lt;pre&gt;~/VegaStrike/vegastrike&gt; cd ../data&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> * Create symbolic links to the executables in the source code directory.<br /> &lt;pre&gt;~/VegaStrike/data&gt; ln -s ../vegastrike/vegastrike<br /> ~/VegaStrike/data&gt; ln -s ../vegastrike/vssetup&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> * After that, you must run &quot;'''./vssetup'''&quot; inside the '''data''' folder, or any folder which has the correct '''setup.config''' and '''vegastrike.config'''.<br /> If we had made copies or moved the files instead of symbolic linking, we would have to do the procedure of copying or moving every time we build the executables from source.<br /> <br /> ===Running and configuring===<br /> * To run Vega Strike you can normally start ''vegastrike'' from the ''vegastrike'' module you downloaded and built it in.<br /> &lt;pre&gt;~/VegaStrike/vegastrike&gt; ./vegastrike&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> Otherwise on other older versions you may have to start it from the ''data'' directory after copying or symbolic linking it as per the earlier instructions.<br /> &lt;pre&gt;~/VegaStrike/data&gt; ./vegastrike&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> * Optionally you can create a short cut to this application onto your desktop or desktop menus. Simply find your menu editor and point it to the ''vegastrike'' executable.<br /> * If you need to adjust screen resolutions, input devices and key-mappings, do so by editing the configuration file ''vegastrike.config''. The default configuration file resides in the ''data'' directory. You can change that or you can make your own user specific version by first copying it into your ''.vegastrike'' (hidden directory) directory in your user's home directory.<br /> <br /> =See also=<br /> {{FIXME}}These links are broken and they are very old from 2003 and most likely becoming irrelevant if someone knows for sure please update the links and put them in the right location, or delete {{FIXME}}<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4185 &quot;make clean/distclean&quot; thread in the forum] - A quite helpful thread about the make process.<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=10990 &quot;Ubuntu problems&quot; thread in the forum] - more about little troubles linuxoids can encounter.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> {{NAV_Manual |<br /> | previous=[[HowTo:Cygwin Compiling|Compiling with Cygwin]]<br /> | up=[[HowTos]]<br /> | next=[[HowTo:Compile_on_OSX|Compiling from SVN on Mac OSX]]<br /> }}<br /> [[Category:HowTos|Compile from CVS]]</div>

<p>Tbeholder: </p> <hr /> <div>{{NAV_Manual |<br /> | previous=[[FAQ:Modding]]<br /> | up=[[FAQ]]<br /> | next=<br /> }}<br /> ----<br /> ==Requests &amp; Suggestions==<br /> <br /> ===About this page===<br /> <br /> Fairly regularly, we get a new player who gets the game, downloads it, and sees, &quot;Oh wow, a board to make feature requests, I'll give them all my cool ideas and I'll get to see it in a future version!&quot; However, many cool ideas have already been brought to the attention of the various developers and collaborators of the project, including most of the ideas we see people write down when they show up on the forums and list all their ideas. Indeed, some ideas have been discussed back and forth for months, as people reexamine the code, and borrow (steal) ideas from different inspiration sources. This has significantly to do with the facts of development: It takes a long time to see new versions of non-CVS releases, and even with the rapid development cycle of open source, not everything that is planned has made it into the game yet. - ''V4X3N''<br /> <br /> This page tries to synthesize the feature requests and ideas that have been mentioned in the forum (well, most of them anyway). I have split the page in several subsections representing the different aspects of the game to make it easier to read and find your area of interest. Ultimately this is intended as an inspirational repository for the developers. - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> <br /> This article is an attempt to compile all feature requests for ''Vega Strike'', and give some indication as to their development status. This is ''not'' a &quot;to-do&quot; list. Rather, it is intended to serve as a place to track feature requests, as well as serve as a source of ideas for the developers.<br /> <br /> ===Status of proposals===<br /> <br /> To be able to find out what status an idea or proposal is in, I have added a status marker ([]) to each. These are the meanings of the markers I used:<br /> <br /> * [X] This request has been implemented<br /> * [Y] This request is being implemented in some form<br /> * [P] This request has been or is being partially implemented<br /> * [W] This request is under construction<br /> * [R] This request has been rejected<br /> * [] This request is pending<br /> <br /> ===Updating this page===<br /> <br /> Feel free to edit this page to add your ideas if they are not listed here; just make sure you follow the general structure of the page so it stays readable. Also try to list discussion threads in chronological order, starting from oldest to newest.<br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> <br /> ==World mechanics==<br /> <br /> ===Seamless world...===<br /> <br /> ====Seamless planetary/atmospheric flight []====<br /> The obligatory suggestion - be able to fly from space seamlessly to a planet's surface and land.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=2161 planetary flight brainstorming, take 2]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4597 The official &quot;Seamless Planetary Flight&quot; thread]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=6193 Atmospheric and planetary raid missions?]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=9645 A silly question about the theoretical planetside mode]<br /> <br /> ====Seamless inter-system flight []====<br /> There should be no pause between leaving one system and entering another when flying directly.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=13667 direct interplanetary journey]<br /> <br /> ====Walkable planets and bases []====<br /> 3D bases and planets that can be traveled in first person, which may include the following:<br /> *In-base fps-style missions (assassinations, package deliveries, etc.)<br /> *Planetside RPG-like missions<br /> *Highly detailed, procedurally generated planets/cities<br /> <br /> This is one of the most commonly requested features. The new [[Development:Ogre|OGRE port]] will make this possible, but a lot of additional work will need to be done in order to implement it.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=4597 The official &quot;Seamless Planetary Flight&quot; thread]<br /> <br /> ==== Walkable ship interiors []====<br /> <br /> In a perfect implementation this might be like this: <br /> <br /> You are able to detach from your pilots seat by a hotkey. You suddenly find yourself in a FPS like environment standing next to your pilot seat. Now you can walk around and explore the ship.<br /> <br /> Every ship has its own interior. A small fighter probably has no more than an engineering panel behind the pilots seat, and a small living area with a bunk, small galley and most likely a plumbing unit. An airlock which might be functional if you have landed on a planet? (see &quot;walkable planets and bases&quot;)<br /> <br /> If the vessel becomes bigger and bigger, there is obviously more and more to explore. Living room for a small crew, sick bay, hallways to different sections like engineering, hangar bays, gun turrets, cryo chambers, prison, elevators to other levels and huge cargo compartments. For bigger ships the pilots seat might be placed at a bridge containing big screens displaying data about the ship and the environment. They could seriously help to make strategic decisions. Any controls that aren't really needed in cockpit/hotkeys (like HUD setup, weapon groups, repair priorities, etc) could as well be acessed via widgets as an engineering panel or bridge.<br /> <br /> It's important that the interior fits to the exterior appearance of the ship, it has to be believable. This would greatly add to the perception of the size and type of your ship.<br /> <br /> You can go to damaged sections and repair them. You could visit captured pilots in the prison and talk to them, they might have important information. You could fight intruders. You could go to your hangar bay and select one of your small vessels for a quick interception while your ship remains where it is. [[User:Pirx|Pirx]] 18:42, 6 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=15012 Feature Request &quot;Walkable ship interior&quot;]<br /> <br /> ====Incorporating walkable (or flyable) planets with the &quot;Explorer&quot; playrole []====<br /> Once planets are walkable, you could pretty easily add the explorer function (which is a GREAT idea) by allowing one to purchase different types of scanners (differing in power/range and what they can scan for (radiation/age/foreign tech) for the ship, then scanning as you go around. Maps could be used to guide one to a specific planet, or location, or type of tech there. Maybe scanned areas could be mapped in the Library. ''xopher425''<br /> <br /> ====Crowded/visible docking stations []====<br /> We've got all of these ships flying around in a bustling, living galaxy. When you go to dock at a small base, you can see it has 3-4 docking points. Put these two together, and you see that there should be a parking problem, at times. So why not have the base send the player back a message like, 'sorry, we're full. please enter holding pattern zeta while we clear things up. - ''CoffeeBot''<br /> <br /> I think, bases would claim the monopoly of force inside their weapon range. So any unauthorized fight in this area would be stopped through the base quickly. The base would first transmit a message like 'This territory is controlled by &lt;basename&gt;, please stop fighting and disable your weapons while staying.' If the ships continue their fight, the base would give a warning like: 'STOP fighting NOW or we will shoot you down' If the opponents still continue their fight, the base would shoot them down, launch its fighters or place a bounty on the ships. - ''caotic''<br /> <br /> I would like to see parking lots or piers and jetties. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> I think it'd be nice if you could see capital ships that are docked to the base. - ''cshank4''<br /> <br /> ===Additional playroles...===<br /> (a.k.a. vocations and mission types)<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10340 False ID's, bribes and other illegal stuff]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10499 Ideas for further minor missions]<br /> <br /> ====Treasure Hunter/Explorer/Archeologist []====<br /> I think it would be easy to add a third &quot;role&quot; in Vegastrike, besides 'trader' and 'hunter': 'Explorer'. If you specialize your ship and equipment for exploration, you'd probably be interested in &quot;treasure maps&quot; with full awareness of their NOT being treasure maps, but because of their potential for good finds in terms of habitable planets and resource-rich asteroids. - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> :This would require that at least some of the systems are left unexplored. Currently, I think all systems in VS have some level of faction presence. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> Be able to buy treasure maps from guys in bars (pirates! anyone?), which would mark special spots on your starcharts where a shipwreck could be or a special kind of anomaly or whatever. - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> <br /> At pirate bases one should be able to buy treasure maps, but that they'd be ancient documents written on PAPER! and using alphanumeric star designations from way back in the third millennium. So you have to figure out what's what. But the thing is, any such piece of paper from back in the 3rd millennium is automatically assumed to mean &quot;treasure&quot;, but more often than not, the papers are about anything but &quot;treasures&quot;, but rather about curious planets or moons, or, occasionally, about potential spots for inducing the formation of jump-points, or about the presence of archeological finds, or resources. - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=11068&amp;st=0&amp;sk=t&amp;sd=a&amp;start=45 Super-features of future releases]<br /> <br /> ====Reporter []====<br /> There should be GNN missions, to, say, take pictures of a battle or a fleet or some millionaire, or famous privateer in action, whatever. Started as a joke about Paparazzi. Also, if you happen to see some unusual fight, say confeds and insys fighting each other due to some friendly fire escalation, you could snap pictures of it and then bargain with a GNN representative over how much they are worth...<br /> <br /> I don't know whether he's planning to do something about it or not, or whether he's forgotten about it. The possibilities are multiplicative there: You could get a reputation faster, or avoid a reputation; you could have a fight with a fleet of a faction and avoid the impact of it on your standing with that faction as long as you a) destroy all the ships, b) kill all the ejected pilots, and c) make sure there was no gnn snapping pictures around. If you know someone is a double agent, and you have pictures to prove it, you can blackmail him.<br /> <br /> If you get too much of a reputation, you might get paparazzi following you around; but not too many factions hate them, so if you kill them it may get you in trouble. You'd wind up trying to predict and affect the presence or absence of news media depending on the mission you're doing; and in the overall, trying to avoid excessive notoriety. One strategy would be to become, oneself, a reliable gnn contributor, so as to make it a redundant option for them to send reporters to wherever you're going... - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> <br /> ====Tour guide or passenger liner []====<br /> Ferry tourists between scenic locations. Tours begin and end at the same location. <br /> * Passengers and passenger space could be a special kind of cargo (it requires extra life support). <br /> * Negotiate escorts to risky systems. Advertise traveling to try and get more passengers, and buy commercial time. Schedule flights in other systems ahead of you, or cancel them.<br /> <br /> ====Station manager []====<br /> Operate a station efficiently to increase trade throughput/production, and fend off pirates. Run an efficient shipyard, competitively buy/sell/repair/build ships using raw materials or supplies. Screen refugees for spies (requires buying citizen databases from merchant ships). Refuse docking clearance for jerks and scum. Prevent or foster trading of contraband and slaves while keeping the authorities happy. Upgrade number of dock points, defenses, power, cloaking of contraband, mining drills, etc. Set/Collect tariffs, fees and taxes, route or cover up news (or propaganda). Set up escorts for people. Sell employees and citizens enough food and supplies to be entertained and healthy but don't drive them out by charging too much. Request supplies from merchants via news bulletins. Choose which supplies to accept/reject, and rates for selling them (compete with other stations in and out system). Scout for new jump points and set up jump fees. Take bounties, try to catch pirates docking here but avoid pissing off their factions since you are a stationary target. Attempt to contract patrols to explore or protect the system (thus encouraging merchants to come), while keeping your overlords appeased about how much you're spending and how you're spending it. Secretly subcontract privateers and pirates (become a covert pirate base while maintaining a cover as a mining or medical base). Safely perform evacuations before any overwhelming forces arrive. Put down any uprisings from citizens. Add modules onto the base to increase capacity for all the business you're drawing in, but organize the construction for optimal defense. Specialize in a specific type of resource production using raw materials. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ====Bounty hunter []====<br /> Eliminate named individuals for a bounty.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=11486 Bounty Hunting]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=13308 Bounty mission/pirate ideas]<br /> <br /> ====Attended or unattended mining []====<br /> One should be able to mine asteroids/ore for additional income. Possibly, set up an unattended mining operations on asteroids requiring special mining droids that drill through the asteroid and deposit unprocessed ore into a repository that you can dock to and unload with your ship. Something like a modern-day oil rig. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=2155 Digging on Asteroids]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=6160 Mining?]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14690 Mining]<br /> <br /> ====Rescue missions []====<br /> Players should be able to initiate (and participate in) rescue missions as an alternative to/in conjunction with ejecting. I.e. if a player ejects, they can post a note on the BBS requesting extraction.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14912 Player-Generated Rescue Missions]<br /> <br /> ====NPC individual traits []====<br /> [[NPC]] pilots could have individual preferences/statistics, making them act differently.<br /> <br /> E.g. pilot stats in Wing Commander are:<br /> * '''Aggressiveness''': Eagerness to engage and resistance to distraction (taunts) when already attacking someone.<br /> * '''Carefulness''': Expending energy and ammo. (conservative - wasteful)<br /> * '''Courage''': Will the pilot hightail after the first hits or fight to death?<br /> * '''Flying skill'''<br /> * '''Gunnery skill'''<br /> * '''Loyalty''': Willingness to obey in-flight orders. (always - never)<br /> * '''Verbosity''': Probability of random chat/taunt.<br /> <br /> For another example, Power DoLLS has:<br /> * '''Attack''': 2 stats for different sorts of targets (Ground and Air), <br /> * '''Combat Concentration''': Close-range damage.<br /> * '''Search Tachometer''': Acquire targets.<br /> * '''Defense''': Avoid incoming fire.<br /> * '''Action Point''': How much the pilot can actually do in the same time.<br /> <br /> A possible set for &quot;open box&quot; SCS with detection and ECM like Vega Strike could be similar to WC, plus '''Sensors skill''', '''Countermeasures skill''', '''Reaction''' and '''Persistency''' (overall inclination to proceed with the current course of action, influencing tactics and perhaps adjusting Aggressiveness/Courage/Loyalty checks). Units with multiple crew positions may have NPC with different skills - e.g. one working to use radars more efficiently, another controls turrets. See also &quot;NPC personality&quot; below.<br /> <br /> ====Crews and skills []====<br /> Ships' crew. An option to allow/demand more than one osition for specific ships, much like in Frontier Elite. But then, why not to make it more meaningful and give them different usefulness and wages? Same may apply to PC. Possibly advancing CRPG style (see below), but not necessarily. Sure, most tasks can be automated, but even then fully sentient oversight may improve the results. Same applies to the dock crews: a not very busy shipyard can be expected to polish the ship into mint condition, an orbital garden probably can fix basic systems, but no more than that. Everyone needs some sort of a bunk and can die on their workplace separately from others if the hull is damaged.<br /> <br /> A repairbot may also counts as a variant crewmember in addition to being a ship system: it also can be qualified to do specific jobs, but not others, and may have its requirements.<br /> See also [[FAQ:Feature_Requests#Walkable ship interiors]] - in base-like interface Player Character could chat with crewmembers and setup bots. Perhaps linked &quot;roll entry / fixer / contract&quot; for crew, &quot;roll entry / ship part / control panel&quot; for bots.<br /> <br /> * '''General Repair''': How fast the repair is, how much energy it consumes, how likely it is to waste materials or break things further. With a damaged repairbot the latter can be &quot;very likely&quot; unless supervised.<br /> * '''General Maintainance''': Less skilled teams may overlook something, so check vital ship systems more often to be on the safe side. More skilled engineers are likely to change a system's condition closer to ideal.<br /> * '''{specific system:rating}''': Adjustments for tagged sets of systems. Ignorant - can install - can quick-fix - can optimize (actually get ''good'' results, rather than passable) - expert.<br /> ** There are lots of ship systems - engines, weapons, armor, etc - and ''of various origins''. Humans rarely get training and experience with Rlaan materials, while Rlaan don't use missile weapons - but could do something about Human shields and disruptors, at least standard ones.<br /> * '''Cargo operations''': How fast goods move into/from the hold. Eventually, loaders will move all those containers to the right pile either way, but time is money, so a good stevedore can be valuable. Also, even single-player game could do something with &quot;simulate_while_docked&quot;.<br /> <br /> * '''Acceleration tolerances''': This does matter, and depends on sub[[species]] or repairbot model. (probably, at least an XYZ vector)<br /> * '''Species/Type''': Defines lifesupport demands, among other things. Refers to a table and mostly is handled somewhere else.<br /> * '''Appearance''': Just name and sprite file, probably.<br /> * '''Upkeep''': Specific contract parameters.<br /> <br /> ====RPG characteristics [R]====<br /> Stat and skill-based experience system, ala the game ''[http://www.taleworlds.com/ Mount&amp;Blade]''. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> Examples:<br /> * ''strength stat'': can withstand more Gs or personal damage before succumbing.<br /> * ''intelligence stat'': increases the rate at which one can improve skills.<br /> * ''weapon-accuracy skill'': increases the size of the hit-box surrounding a target.<br /> * ''hacking skill'': increases one's ability to break into docked ships or sabotage subsystems.<br /> * ''gambling skill'': reaps additional credits in bars.<br /> * ''diplomacy skill'': increases influence with NPCs/factions.<br /> * ''leadership skill'': increases influence with wingmen.<br /> * ''merchant stat'': increases the price you can sell items for and decreases the price you can buy things for -''Jesse_The_Midget''<br /> <br /> Another example is ''Earth &amp; Beyond'', where XP and levels are tabulated separately for Exploration, Combat and Trading.

This, in most cases, removes any possibility of bugging out of combat with a ship, and if you're flying something like a Plowshare, you don't stand a chance against a Pacifier and 2 Hyenas anyway, but you can't get away and may as well press the self destruct button. Basically I'm just asking if you could make it so you can still SPEC in the presence of ships. If you want to maintain some form of SPEC interference caused by ships, you could make it so your SPEC speed slows down to about 200 or so, but it doesn't deactivate. 200 is still a reasonable speed to escape from a firefight.<br /> <br /> :COMMENT: SPEC system actually seems not to be affected by presence of ships(v0.5 beta), and I think it actually should, because now its not possible to dock on a larger ship if its specing. (Request docking clearance to make a friendly ship stop so you can get close and dock). And I would expect you should not be able to run away with SPEC, in contrary your options should be ( when meeting a superior opponent ):fight, give up, call for help.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14697 Few things i'd like to see, and do if i had the time]<br /> <br /> ====Regions of space with status effects []====<br /> Regions of space that affect sensors, disable shields, or cause radiation damage. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14697 Few things i'd like to see, and do if i had the time]<br /> <br /> ===Weapons, targeting &amp; ship systems...===<br /> <br /> ====Limitations on weapon auto-tracking []====<br /> Weapons should be limited in the distance they are able to track moving objects.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10919 Suggestion: per-weapon autotracking limits]<br /> <br /> ====Auto- or burst-fire for rockets []====<br /> One should be able to hold the &quot;fire&quot; button and launch rockets repeatedly.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10781 Suggestion: make rocket pods act like guns]<br /> <br /> ====Active weapon selection []====<br /> You should be able to toggle whether certain weapons are active/inactive.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14870 Weapon Fire Control/Weapon Switching]<br /> <br /> ====Heat/shield/power/stealth/etc. management [P]====<br /> The game really needs to implement some system of heat and temperature.

Ships smaller than stations are represented using dots instead of meshes. Orbital paths/gravitational fields should also be represented. Setting autopilot waypoints or nav targets should also be possible. See ''Homeworld'' for an example. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ==Starmap []==<br /> <br /> ===Show dockable targets and factions in starmap []===<br /> It would be useful for the map screen to show you what dockable planets and stations are present and what faction is in control in the system you have selected. - ''unknown''<br /> <br /> ===In-base starmap []===<br /> It would be great to have a starmap you could consult while at a station. That way, you could make intelligent choices about hauling cargo. Having this accessible from a Station Library would be the way to go.<br /> The other solution would be to add such functionality to the mission computer. E.g. except the Accept button for a chosen mission there could be a Map button that would, when pressed, show the route to the target star system of the mission.<br /> Or the map could be accessible from the info screen. E.g. except the Pilot and Ship buttons there could be a Map button. Red circle with an arrow and 'YOU ARE HERE' text would be informative thing too. -''unknown''<br /> <br /> ===Larger/better starmap window []===<br /> Make the window/map as large as possible to increase its usefulness as a summary of in-system objects. The starmap should not have such a thick frame, for example. Currently it's trying to show more than the HUD in less space than the HUD. While the player needs to be reminded the game isn't paused, this could be accomplished by providing a slight transparency to the starmap (such as 5% or 7% transparent, mostly opaque). The transparency effect would be more fun for players. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> Other improvements need to be made to make exploring using the starmap less painful.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14923 Large scale navigation]<br /> <br /> ===Separate nav/info buttons []===<br /> They're not related, so they should be separate buttons. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Modal buttons should show current mode []===<br /> Move multifunction buttons that affect the view (Nav, Info, Map) away from buttons that affect how the view is represented (2D, 3D, Ortho); use color, position, size/shape, or distance to separate these button groups. Anytime a button cycles between multiple modes (eg with 2d/3d/ortho), some visual cue should *show* the users which mode is the current one (bold/color/lighting). <br /> *This menu has its virtues. It's not entirely keyboard based, for example.<br /> *One possible approach: <br /> ***use tabs for the different views, and buttons that light up for view-options. (Tabs should be stylized for the theme--green glowing outlines for example, or side tabs styled like gmail.com inbox/archive/trash/spam/... tabs). <br /> ***Only show view options when they're applicable. <br /> ***Make every view option a separate button (2d is its own button). They should be separate controls because a modal button doesn't communicate which mode is selected. A single button shouldn't do 3 things instead of 1 - it's not normal or expected, so it will confuse people. <br /> ***Don't use tabs for 2d/3d/ortho, since changing the view in one affects the view in the others, and tabs usually indicate independence from each other. While I don't suggest making them a radio list (this isn't a form to fill out), this is essentially what they are. <br /> ***For efficiency, consider making it so users can glance at another view option without clicking on it: hovering over &quot;2d&quot; should make it 2d temporarily; Clicking 2d should make it stick. This has the disadvantage that users may get confused: they might not think the buttons can be clicked, and will never actually switch to another view to manipulate the map. For this reason, the buttons should clearly show their state, and their relationship should be obvious. Perhaps something like a line should connect the three items, and the selected item should be depressed with glowing letters, while the others are raised. Hovering doesn't raise a button, but it makes its text glow. Even if this takes work, it will make the game a lot easier to understand and thus fun to play. Even users who catch on quickly should feel like it's very smooth and obvious--smooth so focus stays on the game instead of the menu, and obvious so it's easier to remember where things are later. Flashy so things are more memorable and satisfying to click (and thus discover). -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Rename &quot;Up/Down&quot; []===<br /> The labeling for Up/Down doesn't really tell what it does. The up/down button should be relabeled as &quot;View - System/Sector&quot; -- or separated into two buttons -- or toggle between saying &quot;View System&quot; and &quot;View Sector&quot; when the user clicks it. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Changes to planet/base icons []=== <br /> It's hard to click on specific items. Planets and bases don't need huge icons around them as with VS 0.4.3. It makes it hard to read anything, and harder to select things that are close. Just have the item whose center is closest to the cursor be selected. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> Geometric shapes should not be reused excessively. Try to reserve each shape for a particular class of object in order to prevent overlap and confusion. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=2194&amp;p=18146#p18146 In-Game Map]<br /> <br /> ===Crowded areas []===<br /> It's impossible to click on really closely spaced items. When an area is crowded, selecting it should cause the map to temporarily zoom in to select the actual target, then zoom out again. (Alternately, instead of zoom use a subwindow or popup menu of items to select near the cursor). -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Preview target (on hover) []===<br /> Hovering over any item should show its image as with the HUD view in bottom right. This will help users to recognize what they're looking for. Also, consider showing distance to target and other details on hover (faction, friendliness rating number, estimated value, time in-system, favorite color, ...) -[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]<br /> * While a target is hovered over, shift_1 through shift_9 should set it as a remembered target. This fact should be advertised when the cursor is over the item. If already assigned, the current number it is assigned to should be displayed; Displaying key assignments immediately will show the user the assignment was successful, and keep them from forgetting if a target has already been assigned a number. It will also remind a user if it was important. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> ** Pressing a number 1-9 should jump the cursor to a remembered target. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> ** While Shift is pressed but before a number is pressed, all the target assignments should be shown in a layover text. Consider doing this for the HUD display too (although Ctrl and Shift do a lot more on the HUD, so it might not make sense there). -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===&quot;You are here&quot; indicator []===<br /> Instead of another inconsequential dot showing &quot;llama.begin&quot; or something, highlight the current location (base computer) or ship (in-flight) using color, font, fontsize, thickness, icon, and/or pulsing color. A crosshair won't work well in 3d, but it's worth considering. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> :I like how ''Homeworld'''s sensors mode put the ship at the center of the (spherical) coordinate system. Though this might not be appropriate for a starmap. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ===Color saturation indicates distance from camera []===<br /> While color should still show what an item is, the color's saturation could be less saturated and smaller if the item is supposed to be further inside the map. While rotating the 3d view, as items move closer to the camera, their colors should get more vibrant, the icons slightly larger. To provide reference on saturation, the polar grid in 3d mode could be more vibrant in the front, and less so in back. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> :I disagree. I think colors should be reserved for different ''types'' of objects. (i.e. ships, astronomical objects, HUD information, etc.) -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ===Nav system/software upgrades []===<br /> Sensor and Software upgrades could let the user toggle viewing of:<br /> * SPEC gravity field interference (in grayscale or cloud/alpha gradients), <br /> * commonly used flight paths &amp; pirated zones (past battle locations per down-map system, or up-map color coding of dangerous sectors/stars)<br /> * visited: stations &amp; systems -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> Navigation software upgrades could let the user:<br /> * plot direct courses for autopilot<br /> * plot least-time courses for autopilot<br /> * plot multi-stage courses (over several jumps), with auto-targeting of each consecutive jump point upon entering the system. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===News &amp; mission view []===<br /> This layer would only be available on stations/planets.<br /> * Show news based on regions/stars. A number beside each star could show how many relevant news items are from there. Hovering and clicking on a star would show news for that star.<br /> * Show star and route to star based on news.<br /> * Also, search for and accept missions from the starmap.<br /> * Transparency of the background could allow for skinning the news/mission/pilot views of the map screen, so that it seems different depending on where it's accessed. Eg, in a news kiosk, it might have the GNN logo in the background and a reflection of the hangar or mall. In the pilot seat, it could be semitransparent like a glass tactical screen, with a slight/blurred pilot helmet reflection and the HUD actively moving behind it. Mission views could look like a Microsoft Surface(R) bar table. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Tooltips on mouse hover []===<br /> * Sector View: on hover, Highlight jump routes connecting this star.

Should be limited in scope to a particular industry or faction, but should cover a larger astronomical area than &quot;General News&quot;, be more thorough in its coverage, as well as/or be more explicit in how it can benefit the player. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]] and others''<br /> <br /> ===Describe why upgrade X cannot be installed []===<br /> In the ship upgrades screen, display a short note describing why you cannot install upgrade x (already installed/higher version installed/ship not capable etc.) - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> <br /> ===Specialized repair console []===<br /> In the ship upgrades screen, have one section specialized in repairs that lists all damaged components and makes it easy to select which ones to repair without having to click on all upgrade sections to check if there are damaged components hiding somewhere. - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> <br /> ===Expand/collapse all buttons []===<br /> In the computer screens with expandable lists, have buttons 'expand all' and 'collapse all' to be able to expand or collapse the tree of all available items without clicking on the individual sections. <br /> <br /> ===Multiple-choice conversations [X]===<br /> multiple choice dialogs (at the bottom at the screen, or as a pop-up, I don't know) that'd give writers a lot of flexibility. Besides empowering writers with the ability to do actual dialogs, it gives player the ability to negotiate, to investigate, to strike special deals, to add fine points to a mission--everything you can think of. And of course, multiple choice still can do the 'yes' and 'no'. - ''CubOfJudahsLion''<br /> <br /> ===Cargo/ship/upgrade/weapon compare screen []===<br /> As the title already states a screen where it is possible to compare the various items. Maybe having the separations '''cargos, ships, upgrades, weapons''' as they all have their special attributes and more important infos. - ''unknown''<br /> <br /> ===Sort mission list by destination []===<br /> In the mission screen, add a button that sorts the missions by destination. Or at least sort the missions by destination rather than alphabetically within their categories. that way users can accept multiple missions which go to the same target system. -''Thawn''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?p=93927 sort missions by destination.]<br /> <br /> ===Economic index []===<br /> It would be nice if there was some kind of economic index, so you could tell what the buying and selling prices are for a given commodity. That way, when you are on a base that seems to have a lot of seafood, you can tell whether or not you're being ripped off. Maybe it should also just show the prices of the last time / 3 last times, otherwise it would be just too predictable. Being a newbie in space usually also means you have to find out about goods. - ''unknown''<br /> <br /> :Maybe require some sort of a subscription-based service to provide the necessary database (see the Trade Subscriptions request). -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ===Ship hardpoint display []===<br /> Some sort of a display showing a model of your ship, as well as all hardpoints/device slots and the equipment installed on them.

<p>Tbeholder: </p> <hr /> <div>=General=<br /> <br /> This page summarizes concepts and approaches to creating planet surfaces as seen from orbit.<br /> Topics of atmospheric entry and close-to-surface planetary topology and atmospheric effects or planetary flight should be covered in a separate document.<br /> <br /> Two main topics are covered in this document:<br /> * Development of textured surfaces<br /> * Development of procedural surfaces<br /> <br /> =Textured Surfaces=<br /> <br /> ==Texture Requirements==<br /> <br /> ===Generic Image Requirements===<br /> <br /> Please read this [[Development:Graphics_Requirements]] page before continuing to the specific requirements.<br /> <br /> ===Specific Image Requirements===<br /> ===Summary of Texture Requirements===<br /> Textures ready for submission should fulfill:<br /> * Codec: dds DXT1 with mipmaps for diffuse textures; dds DXT3 with mipmaps for citylight textures<br /> * Extension: .texture<br /> * Ratio (horizontal:vertical): 2:1<br /> * Size: following the POT rule (power-of-two)<br /> * Resolution: min 2048x1024<br /> * Tilable (seamless): horizontally and vertically<br /> * Quality: RQ or CQ<br /> <br /> ===Image Resolution, Formats, and Quality===<br /> The planet surface graphics format currently recommended for the game is '''dds''' format with dxt1 compression, with filenames ending in '''.texture'''. (Before May 2008, DDS textures were stored in files named .png, because of references to filenames in other places.)<br /> <br /> The '''image ratio''' horizontal:vertical must be 2:1 (assuming pixel ratio of the map is 1:1), since the texture is wrapped around the planet sphere horizontally around 360 degrees and vertically around 180 degrees.<br /> Necessarily, in order for the surface not to appear distorted, your '''pixel ratio''' of the generated texture must be 1.0, i.e. a circle must show as a circle when viewing the texture in an image viewer, on a monitor with square pixels.<br /> <br /> The vertical and horizontal sizes should be a '''power of two''' (POT).<br /> Really, NPOT (non-power-of-two) textures are possible, but really, really, really troublesome. Don't use them. Just use POT. Love the POT. The POT is the mother, the POT is the father. Trust the POT.<br /> <br /> That leaves few options:<br /> *1024x512<br /> *2048x1024<br /> *4096x2048<br /> *8192x4096<br /> <br /> Keeping original high resolution image (e.g. 8192x4096 or 4096x2048) versions in stock helps maintaining quality and scalability as game development progresses or typical screen resolutions rise in the future with better hardware available to the players.<br /> <br /> Most of the surface textures included in data have a horizontal resolution of 1024 or below. Committed textures are classified as:<br /> * DQ - Development Quality: textures with horizontal resolution of 1024 or below and low degree of realism<br /> * RQ - Release Quality: textures with horizontal resolution of 2048 or above and medium degree of realism<br /> * CQ - Cinematographic Quality: textures with horizontal resolution of 2048 or above and high degree of realism<br /> <br /> ===Image Properties===<br /> Naturally, the images should be '''seamless (tilable)''' so that seams are not visible on the rotating planet, neither on the stitch nor at the poles.<br /> <br /> 3d rendering software with unwrap functions is recommended, since it is extremely inefficient and troublesome to create seamless textures in 2d programs.<br /> <br /> ===Planet textures required===<br /> [source: klauss]<br /> *Diffuse color map (the actual planet texture)<br /> *Night map (with city lights); needs to have alpha channel for the transparent areas. Compression type must be DXT3. <br /> *Specular map as usual.<br /> *Cloudmap... not so usual. The cloudmap contains color in the color data - but base, unlit color. Until now, I couldn't find a case where the color portion of the texture wasn't uniform, so I might drop color &quot;texture&quot; for a uniform color &quot;parameter&quot; - but in any case, the texture contains the cloud's basic color in the color portion (fully white for earthish textures), and &quot;thickness&quot; in the alpha channel. What I did to create the current cloudmaps: transfer the color (grayscale) channel to the alpha channel, adjust its &quot;dynamic distribution&quot;, kind-of gamma correction, to avoid saturation of the alpha channel as much as possible (it looks bad), and filled the color channel with white. Thickness means that - the thickness of clouds. It indirectly translates to their height. All clouds are based on the same level (they usually are in reality, minus some exceptions), and grow upwards as much as the alpha channel tells it to.<br /> *Normalmap as usual (though normalmaps are presently not required, they aren't any different from unit normalmaps: RGB with normal data, Alpha with height data).<br /> <br /> ==Development Tools, Tutorials==<br /> <br /> ===GIMP===<br /> [[Links:Graphic_Applications#GIMP|GIMP - the GNU Image Manipulation Program]] is quite versatile; to work with texture files, you'll need DDS plugin (if it's not installed already).<br /> <br /> A good starting point for e.g. gas giant texture maps is the 'Solid Noise' filter.<br /> <br /> There is a way to make planetary twisters like Uranius or so, using the Gimp. First you must create the gas texture, and then apply the distort filter into Filters&gt;Distortions&gt;Deformation. Then set the deformation type to &quot;counterclockwise swirl&quot;, and the make one or two swirls. This will generate swirls at the surface.<br /> <br /> On the other hand, if you like a hurricane zone, for example [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Red_Spot Jupiter's Great Red Spot], you can do it very simply: first select a ecliptic small zone, which will be the future hurricane. Then apply the filter Filters&gt;Distortions&gt;Lens Crystal, and apply a bit crystal lens distortion. Then, deselect that selected zone, and apply Filters&gt;Distortions&gt;Deformation, and set the deformation to &quot;move&quot;, and move the left and right sides of the elliptical form a bit, just to make the effect of undercloud.<br /> <br /> ===POV-Ray===<br /> [Links:3D_Applications#POV-Ray|POV-Ray (Persistence of Vision Raytracer)] with its unique scripting approach and through a large base of available texture, pigment, and material functions provides almost unlimited possibilities to creating surface maps.<br /> <br /> Maps can be exported by using a spherical camera setting:<br /> ''camera {spherical angle 360}''<br /> <br /> ===Blender===<br /> [Links:3D_Applications#Blender|Blender 3D] <br /> <br /> Scripts for blender can be created using Python. No application of blender for creation of planet surfaces is known to us currently. Submissions are appreciated.<br /> <br /> ===Tutorials===<br /> Some great tutorials can be found at [http://www.solarvoyager.com/tutorials.asp Solar Voyager]. They are geared toward 3dsmax and Photoshop, but are general enough in scope that they could be easily adapted to GIMP and POV-Ray.<br /> <br /> ==Including and Testing==<br /> <br /> ===Systems Substitution Testing===<br /> <br /> In the .systems file of the systems where you saved the game (data/sectors/SectorName/), search for the planet that you want to test your texture on and replace the current texture in the 'file' statement with your texture, e.g.<br /> <br /> *Take: &lt;Planet name=&quot;Wiley&quot; file=&quot;planets/rock.texture&quot; ...&gt;<br /> *Replace with: &lt;Planet name=&quot;Wiley&quot; file=&quot;planets/rocky_wiley.texture&quot; ...&gt;<br /> <br /> Note: You can search in data dir using the command ''grep -R &quot;rock_water.texture&quot; sectors''<br /> <br /> Should your planet texture not be listed in the sector definition files, you can edit the system config file &quot;sectors/testsystems/planets.system&quot; to change your texture on one of the existing planets and then run Vega Strike with the planet test mission:<br /> <br /> ''./vegastrike test/planets.mission''<br /> <br /> ===Editing Systems===<br /> <br /> In some cases it is required to tweak the universe in order to add new textures.<br /> A very good HowTo explains the road to be taken here.<br /> * [[HowTo:Edit_Systems]] with<br /> ** [[HowTo:Edit_Systems:Milkyway]]<br /> ** [[HowTo:Edit_Systems:System_Files]]<br /> <br /> ==Selection and Vetting Process==<br /> <br /> ===Some Thoughts===<br /> While many textures are still with the DQ (development quality) status, it is important to quickly raise the quality of all textures to release status and beyond. In this stage, following the selection (or vetting) process might not be of the highest importance.<br /> However when replacing visually appealing textures or raising the overall quality to CQ (cinematographic) it is of advantage to share your decisions with the whole community. This is exactly the purpose of the selection and vetting process.<br /> <br /> Enthusiasm, the strong motivation to contribute his own work, see it published in a release, and be part of the community, often brings the danger along of falling into the pitfall and want to contribute and replace too many textures at the same time.<br /> The more advanced in quality and visual appeal the textures become the more important it becomes to create a very distinct and personal look to the particular texture or even planet, since the ultimate goal is to have an individual surface for each planet.<br /> <br /> Ultimately, nobody really knows how extra-solar planets look like but here are some references that might inspire you to create an individual, unique, and personal texture:<br /> * The planet name might give you some hints<br /> * The planet type says something about possible surface type<br /> * Analyze the essence of the existing texture in color, structure, area division<br /> * Inspire yourself by other works of art (paintings, computer generated art, astronomical sites, science-fiction movies)<br /> <br /> And of course, push your tools to their limits.<br /> <br /> Once you have chosen a replacement candidate and have one or more proposals...<br /> <br /> ===The Process===<br /> If you are not sure that your texture meets the basic requirements, then please open a forum topic posting your textures.<br /> Here's a summary of requirements:<br /> * Format: dds (with .texture extension)<br /> * Ratio (horizontal:vertical): 2:1<br /> * Size: following the POT rule (power-of-two)<br /> * Resolution: min 2048x1024<br /> * Tilable (seamless): horizontally and vertically<br /> * Quality: RQ or CQ<br /> <br /> If a texture that you have created meets the above described requirements, then:<br /> * Open a poll for a reasonable period of time (e.g. 2 weeks) and describe:<br /> ** which texture(s) you'd like to replace<br /> ** show which are the candidates<br /> ** describe briefly the method of creation<br /> ** If you'd like to replace more than one texture, describe how you would assign the favorites of the poll to the individual textures<br /> <br /> * After a set period of time<br /> ** announce the winners<br /> ** and call the poll closed<br /> <br /> * Then<br /> ** Submit the textures to svn (in case you have commit rights attributed), or<br /> ** through the forum ask a developer with write access to submit them (e.g. the maintainer of this page, [[User:pyramid|pyramid]]).<br /> <br /> ==Submission Process==<br /> <br /> ===Requirements===<br /> If you have svn commit access, then you will need nVidia's free texture tool nvcompress to transform your original textures to optimized dds textures.<br /> Get the tool here: [http://developer.nvidia.com/object/texture_tools.html NVIDIA Texture Tools]<br /> <br /> The following applies to NVIDIA texture tools version 0.9.4. More recent versions have not yet been tested.<br /> <br /> Due to a bug in handling 1 pixel mipmaps in the original version, you will be further required to patch the tools with safemode's patch.

<p>Tbeholder: </p> <hr /> <div>{{parent_link|parent=[[Development]]}}<br /> ----<br /> =Introduction=<br /> <br /> This page summarizes concepts and approaches to creating space backgrounds compatible with Vega Strike.<br /> <br /> Backgrounds in space are sphere mapped textures arranged in a cube-shaped sky box, so you will need to give us a set of six images.<br /> <br /> The engine generates stars with low density, defined distribution, without anti-aliasing, and without lens effects (except for the in-system stars). It is recommended to try two approaches when generating your textures - textures with and without background stars - then compare the results, and choose the best one. Vega Strike engine will always render it's stars on top of the background texture. A general recommendation for rendering with or without stars cannot be given since it will very much depend on the density and size of the stars that you will make, as well as the amount of lens effects that you apply. As with any other art for VS, it may be an iterative approach of creation, review, and improvement until approval. If you get near Sol, the VS engine can (configurably) generate stars based on a map of 4000 nearby stars that were processed a few years back. A bigger list would still only have stars in something resembling a sphere around Sol.<br /> <br /> =Development Needs and Tasks=<br /> <br /> We could always use more space backgrounds. Ideally, each system in Vega Strike deserves a unique background.<br /> <br /> Please head over here for a list of open tasks: [[Development:2D_Images#Space_Backgrounds|2D Images - Space Backgrounds]]<br /> <br /> Proposed development roadmap:<br /> *Phase 1 [58%]: Replace existing textures with at least 1024x1024 textures (release quality)<br /> *Phase 2 [ 0%]: Expand the set of textures to include more variety per system<br /> *Phase 3 [ 0%]: Develop cinematographic quality backgrounds<br /> <br /> =Space Backgrounds=<br /> <br /> Backgrounds in space are textures arranged in a cube-shaped sky box, like a cardboard paper that you can fold together to a box with the texture remaining on the inside of the box. <br /> <br /> Creating space background from original images (e.g. Hubble) is not recommended. What you usually would do in such a case, is to map an original image (if you choose use real universe imaginary, though I would recommend to make sure that the original image is not copyrighted) to the inner side of a sphere and then rotate a 90º angle camera four times around one axis (faces 1-4) plus another two times (faces 5-6). This means that at current minimum resolution of 1024x1024, in order to get the same quality without enabling texture interpolation, you would require an original image with at least 4096 pixels (1024 x 4 (one-axis rotations) and truly ridiculous 32768px for 8192px faces. Here we have two good reasons not to use original images as the basis for our space background (copyright and high original resolution). It is rather essential to create your individual space background to use in Vega Strike. Resolution should be no issue with any 3d rendering programs.<br /> <br /> Each system uses 6 cube faces each with maximum 1024x1024 resolution. You can go up to whatever your card memory will take, I guess maybe around 8192x8192 if there are not too many ship types in the system with a 256MB VRAM card. However high resolutions might utilize the VRAM too much in the presence of many different textures in the same system (ship types, planets, rings, suns, stations) so we have opted for maximum resolution of 1024x1024 for now.<br /> <br /> With a 1024x1024 textures and a standard FOV of 37.5 degrees we are viewing about 427 pixels on the screen ( = 4*1024*37.5/360). With a monitor resolution of 1280 this corresponds to one background pixel being stretched to 3 screen pixels ( ~1280/427 ). To get a clean image we would need at least a background face resolution of 3*1024x = 3072x, which not being POT would make it 4096x (2^12) and end up in 64MB VRAM usage per system background (shock!) while the 1024x1024 resolution makes it only 4MB.<br /> <br /> We are currently encoding backgrounds with DXT1 which has a very high compression ratio (8:1 without alpha channel) and the banding is more prominent. It is a known behavior with smooth hue gradients and DDS compression.<br /> <br /> ==Texture Requirements==<br /> <br /> ===Generic Image Requirements===<br /> <br /> Please read this [[Development:Graphics_Requirements]] page before continuing to the specific requirements.<br /> <br /> ===Specific Image Requirements===<br /> We require six images that make the six sides of the imaginary box: back, front, right, left, top, and bottom.<br /> <br /> The texture graphics format currently recommended for the game space backgrounds is '''png''' format, but the file extension must be renamed to '''bmp'''. VS engine automatically recognizes the image format. This means that you can e.g. save your image in '''png''' format and then rename it to '''bmp''' and internally it will be still recognized as '''png''' format. The name change is required because you cannot specify the extension in the system description files and VS assumes the images are named with '''bmp''' extension.<br /> <br /> The '''image ratio''' horizontal:vertical must be 1:1 (assuming pixel ratio of the map is 1:1), since the texture is mapped to a cube with equal edge dimensions.<br /> Necessarily, in order for the surface not to appear distorted, your '''pixel ratio''' of the generated texture must be 1.0, i.e. a circle must show as a circle when viewing the texture in an image viewer.<br /> <br /> The vertical and horizontal sizes per skybox face should be a '''power of two''' (POT).<br /> Really, NPOT (non-power-of-two) textures are really, really, really troublesome. Don't use them. Just use POT. Love the POT. The POT is the mother, the POT is the father. Trust the POT.<br /> <br /> That leaves few options:<br /> *512x512<br /> *1024x1024<br /> *2048x2048<br /> *4096x4096<br /> *8192x8192<br /> <br /> Keeping original high resolution image (e.g. 8192x4096 or 4096x2048) versions in stock helps maintaining quality and scalability as game development progresses or typical screen resolutions rise in the future with better hardware available to the players.<br /> <br /> Committed textures are classified as:<br /> * DQ - Development Quality: textures with horizontal resolution of 512 or below and low degree of artistic quality<br /> * RQ - Release Quality: textures with horizontal resolution of 1024 or above and medium degree of artistic quality<br /> * CQ - Cinematographic Quality: textures with horizontal resolution of 2048 or above and high degree of artistic quality<br /> <br /> ===Data Compression Requirements===<br /> <br /> Space backgrounds are non-transparent, hence DXT1 compression will suffice. Assuming a very large distance to viewer the compressed textures do not require mipmaps. This can be achieved with nVidia texture tools using the command:<br /> * &lt;code&gt; ''nvcompress -bc1 -nomips background_original.png background_data.bmp'' &lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Creating and Naming==<br /> <br /> You can use one of those tools described further down in [[Development:System_Backgrounds#Tutorials|tutorials]]. The following descriptions were tested with the settings used in the [[Development:System_Backgrounds#POV-Ray|POV-Ray tutorial]].<br /> <br /> After creating your images you'll probably need to rename their suffixes to be compatible with Vega Strike format. This little map should help you get the orientation and namings right.<br /> <br /> http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=7154&amp;g2_serialNumber=2&amp;ext=.png<br /> <br /> If your texture core name is &quot;blue2&quot; you will have to produce the six images &quot;blue2_1&quot; through &quot;blue2_6&quot; with the correct orientation. Now take those suffixes (indexes) and rename them as follows: &quot;blue2_1&quot; to &quot;blue2_back&quot;, &quot;blue2_2&quot; to &quot;blue2_right&quot;, you are getting the hang of I guess. Continue until texture part 6. You may easily create a small script to do the job for you. Note: the underscore &quot;_&quot; separator is essential in your final textures.<br /> <br /> At this point you may want to decide if your new texture should replace a low quality texture, i.e. become generically available for several systems, or if you want to make a system specific background. The first case is applicable at this stage of the development, where still many backgrounds present low artistic quality (DQ). Later, you may want to prepare specific system textures. At this stage the background core name should correspond to the system name. In the latter case (only) editing of the system file before submission will be required.<br /> <br /> Now you should be ready to go to the next step of verifying your space background inside Vega Strike.<br /> <br /> ==Including and Testing==<br /> <br /> First of all, copy your six texture files to the &lt;code&gt;data/textures/backgrounds&lt;/code&gt; directory.<br /> <br /> The easiest way to test your new background is by trying it out in the test system.<br /> Edit the system configuration file &quot;sectors/testsystems/planets.system&quot; (yes, the same one you can use to test your planet textures) to change your texture at the beginning of the file<br /> <br /> &lt;code&gt;&lt;system name=&quot;Sandbox&quot; background=&quot;backgrounds/blue2&quot;&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Then run Vega Strike with the planet test mission:<br /> <br /> &lt;code&gt;''./vegastrike test/planets.mission''&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Once you are happy with your texture, choose a system that you want to put it in. To generally (for all systems that are using it) replace e.g. the old &quot;blue2&quot; background you can search in &lt;code&gt;data&lt;/code&gt; directory using the command<br /> <br /> &lt;code&gt;''grep -R &quot;blue2.png&quot; sectors/*''&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> In case you are creating a system specific texture, adapt the system background description directly. <br /> <br /> This should give you a list of sectors using that texture. Now you can copy and edit a save file to be located in exactly that system ([[Manual:Cheats#Location_.2F_Sector_.2F_System|view instructions here]]) you'd like to evaluate.<br /> <br /> Finally, please verify that the texture meets the basic requirements. In summary:<br /> * Format: png; Extension: bmp<br /> * Image Ratio (horizontal:vertical): 1:1<br /> * Size: following the POT rule (power-of-two)<br /> * Resolution: minimum 1024x1024<br /> * Seamless: horizontally and vertically<br /> * Quality: RQ or CQ<br /> <br /> If all test are satisfactory, you can proceed with the community review (vetting) and submission.<br /> <br /> ==Selection and Vetting==<br /> <br /> ===Some Thoughts===<br /> While many textures are still with the DQ (development quality) status, it is important to quickly raise the quality of all textures to release status and beyond. In this stage, following the selection (or vetting) process might not be of the highest importance (assuming your work has 'some' artistic quality).<br /> However, when replacing visually appealing textures or raising the overall quality to CQ (cinematographic) it is of advantage to share your decisions with the whole community. This is exactly the purpose of the selection and vetting process.<br /> <br /> Enthusiasm, the strong motivation to contribute his own work, see it published in a release, and be part of the community, often brings the danger along of falling into the pitfall and wanting to contribute and replace too many textures at the same time. Take it slowly. Since the ultimate goal is to have an individual background for each system, the more advanced (in quality and visual appeal) the textures become, the more important it becomes to create a very distinct and personal look to the particular texture and system. <br /> <br /> Ultimately, through availability of abundant imagery, we can get an idea of the visual marvels that space offers to us. Anyhow, here are some considerations that might inspire you to create an individual, unique, and personal texture:<br /> * If you want to replace a background, analyze the essence of the existing texture in color, structure, spatial division, and try to come up with something similar (in essence, not appearance)<br /> * Inspire yourself by other works of art (paintings, computer generated art, astronomical sites, science-fiction movies), real images (NASA, Hubble, ...)<br /> <br /> And of course, push your tools to their limits.<br /> <br /> Once you have chosen a replacement candidate and have one or more proposals...<br /> <br /> ===The Process===<br /> If you are not sure that your texture meets the basic requirements, then please open a forum topic posting your textures.<br /> Please verify the summary of requirements [[Development:System_Backgrounds#Including_and_Testing|above]].<br /> <br /> If a texture that you have created meets the texture requirements, then:<br /> * Open a poll for a reasonable period of time (e.g. 2 weeks) and describe:<br /> ** which texture(s) you'd like to replace<br /> ** display your candidates<br /> ** briefly describe the method of creation and tools used<br /> ** If you'd like to replace more than one texture, describe how you would assign the favorites of the poll to the individual textures<br /> <br /> * After a set period of time<br /> ** announce the winners<br /> ** and call the poll closed<br /> <br /> * Then<br /> ** Submit the textures to svn (in case you have commit rights attributed), or<br /> ** through the forum ask a developer with write access to submit them (e.g. the maintainer of this page, [[User:pyramid|pyramid]]).<br /> <br /> ==Submission==<br /> <br /> AKA: Committing to SVN.<br /> <br /> You will be required to submit:<br /> * Six image files (with '''bmp''' extension, the correct orientation and naming)<br /> * A system file if you are not replacing an existing background but have created a new system specific texture<br /> <br /> In addition you may also submit:<br /> * the source code or project file used to create the textures<br /> * a credits text file stating you as the creator of that work, plus any additional info you may want to supply (real name, experience, thoughts on the image, license type (CC, or GPL))<br /> <br /> If you have write access to svn then submit the textures after going through the community selection process.<br /> Otherwise, please call, through a forum topic or private message, a developer with write access to submit them.<br /> <br /> As of September 2007, svn has two directories for texture data:<br /> * \masters\textures that holds the original textures and also source files that were used to create the textures (if you are willing to share them so that larger resolutions may be produced in the future if required)<br /> * \data\textures that holds the textures used in game.<br /> <br /> =Tutorials=<br /> <br /> ==HDR Shop==<br /> [Source: PhpWiki from September 28, 2003 10:49 | Author: Spiner]<br /> <br /> Once you have your image done load it into HDRShop and choose Image/Panorama/Panoramic transformations.<br /> <br /> Under your source image(left side of menu) there will be a format option(should say mirrorball) choose mirrorball closeup. now on the right side (destination image, keep new image) under format choose Cubic Environment vertical cross.<br /> <br /> You should now have a cross with only half the image in it.(saves anything but will call it &quot;image 1&quot;)<br /> <br /> Now to the second part.<br /> <br /> Go to your original image and press &quot;V&quot;, that will turn the image 180. Now go to the panorama transformations again. Choose Mirrorball closeup under source image, and cubical map under destination image. Now before you transform the image go to &quot;3D Rotation&quot; and choose arbitrary rotation. and choose settings. Under X axis change it to 180. leave Y and Z 0.<br /> <br /> Ok now we have the rest of the cross. save it.(this will be called image 2)<br /> <br /> Now go to image/calculate; under image a choose your first image(Image A) and for image b choose the second image (image b); leave c and d alone.<br /> <br /> This will calculate the image and put it together to have one seamless image.<br /> <br /> Note that this also makes your image double so try to change image b before you transform it.<br /> <br /> [2003 | Author: hurleybird]<br /> <br /> And another way i found out how to make cube maps is this...<br /> <br /> If you have a texture which can be tiled then you can use longitude/latitude to cubic environment (note, you want to add stars AFTER this is done, not before) then you can get some really nice effects.<br /> <br /> ==POV-Ray==<br /> [http://www.povray.org POV-Ray (Persistence of Vision Raytracer)] is a high-quality, totally free tool for creating stunning three-dimensional graphics. It is available in official versions for Windows, Mac OS/Mac OS X and i86 Linux. The source code is available for those wanting to do their own ports. With its unique scripting approach and through a large base of available texture, pigment, and material functions there are almost unlimited possibilities to creating any kind of graphics.<br /> <br /> A sequence of textures can be exported by using spherical camera setting:<br /> <br /> &lt;code&gt;<br /> #declare skybox_part = mod(frame_number-1,6); //range [0-5] <br /> #declare camera_texture_Vegastrike = 1; //1=true 0=false<br /> camera { location &lt;0,0,0&gt; angle 90 right &lt;1,0,0&gt; up &lt;0,1,0&gt;<br /> // turn the cam based on the current frame [0-5]<br /> #switch (skybox_part)<br /> #range (0,3) // first 4 frames: turn from left to right<br /> rotate (90*skybox_part)*y<br /> #break<br /> #case (4) // frame 5: look at the sky<br /> #if (camera_texture_Vegastrike) rotate -90*x rotate 90*y<br /> #else rotate -90*x #end<br /> #break<br /> #case (5) // farme 6: look at the ground<br /> rotate 90*x<br /> #break<br /> #end // End of conditional part<br /> }<br /> #end //camera 6<br /> <br /> &lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> =References=<br /> <br /> ==Software, Tools==<br /> For a comprehensive list of tools, please see:<br /> *[[Links:Graphic_Applications|Links:Graphic Applications]]<br /> *[[Links:3D_Applications|Links:3D Applications]]<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> *[http://www.debevec.org/HDRShop/tutorial/tutorial4.html Panoramic Image Conversion with HDR Shop]<br /> *[http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/tuts_arts/making_a_star_field.html &quot;Make a Realistic Star Field&quot; tutorial by Greg Martin]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Author: [[User:pyramid|pyramid]]'''<br /> <br /> [[Category:Development]]</div>

<p>Tbeholder: </p> <hr /> <div>{{NAV_Manual |<br /> | previous=[[FAQ:Modding]]<br /> | up=[[FAQ]]<br /> | next=<br /> }}<br /> ----<br /> ==Requests &amp; Suggestions==<br /> <br /> ===About this page===<br /> <br /> Fairly regularly, we get a new player who gets the game, downloads it, and sees, &quot;Oh wow, a board to make feature requests, I'll give them all my cool ideas and I'll get to see it in a future version!&quot; However, many cool ideas have already been brought to the attention of the various developers and collaborators of the project, including most of the ideas we see people write down when they show up on the forums and list all their ideas. Indeed, some ideas have been discussed back and forth for months, as people reexamine the code, and borrow (steal) ideas from different inspiration sources. This has significantly to do with the facts of development: It takes a long time to see new versions of non-CVS releases, and even with the rapid development cycle of open source, not everything that is planned has made it into the game yet. - ''V4X3N''<br /> <br /> This page tries to synthesize the feature requests and ideas that have been mentioned in the forum (well, most of them anyway). I have split the page in several subsections representing the different aspects of the game to make it easier to read and find your area of interest. Ultimately this is intended as an inspirational repository for the developers. - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> <br /> This article is an attempt to compile all feature requests for ''Vega Strike'', and give some indication as to their development status. This is ''not'' a &quot;to-do&quot; list. Rather, it is intended to serve as a place to track feature requests, as well as serve as a source of ideas for the developers.<br /> <br /> ===Status of proposals===<br /> <br /> To be able to find out what status an idea or proposal is in, I have added a status marker ([]) to each. These are the meanings of the markers I used:<br /> <br /> * [X] This request has been implemented<br /> * [Y] This request is being implemented in some form<br /> * [P] This request has been or is being partially implemented<br /> * [W] This request is under construction<br /> * [R] This request has been rejected<br /> * [] This request is pending<br /> <br /> ===Updating this page===<br /> <br /> Feel free to edit this page to add your ideas if they are not listed here; just make sure you follow the general structure of the page so it stays readable. Also try to list discussion threads in chronological order, starting from oldest to newest.<br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> <br /> ==World mechanics==<br /> <br /> ===Seamless world...===<br /> <br /> ====Seamless planetary/atmospheric flight []====<br /> The obligatory suggestion - be able to fly from space seamlessly to a planet's surface and land.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=2161 planetary flight brainstorming, take 2]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4597 The official &quot;Seamless Planetary Flight&quot; thread]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=6193 Atmospheric and planetary raid missions?]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=9645 A silly question about the theoretical planetside mode]<br /> <br /> ====Seamless inter-system flight []====<br /> There should be no pause between leaving one system and entering another when flying directly.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=13667 direct interplanetary journey]<br /> <br /> ====Walkable planets and bases []====<br /> 3D bases and planets that can be traveled in first person, which may include the following:<br /> *In-base fps-style missions (assassinations, package deliveries, etc.)<br /> *Planetside RPG-like missions<br /> *Highly detailed, procedurally generated planets/cities<br /> <br /> This is one of the most commonly requested features.

You suddenly find yourself in a FPS like environment standing next to your pilot seat. Now you can walk around and explore the ship.<br /> <br /> Every ship has its own interior. A small fighter probably has no more than an engineering panel behind the pilots seat, and a small living area with a bunk, small galley and most likely a plumbing unit. An airlock which might be functional if you have landed on a planet? (see &quot;walkable planets and bases&quot;)<br /> <br /> If the vessel becomes bigger and bigger, there is obviously more and more to explore. Living room for a small crew, sick bay, hallways to different sections like engineering, hangar bays, gun turrets, cryo chambers, prison, elevators to other levels and huge cargo compartments. For bigger ships the pilots seat might be placed at a bridge containing big screens displaying data about the ship and the environment. They could seriously help to make strategic decisions.<br /> <br /> It's important that the interior fits to the exterior appearance of the ship, it has to be believable. This would greatly add to the perception of the size and type of your ship.<br /> <br /> You can go to damaged sections and repair them. You could visit captured pilots in the prison and talk to them, they might have important information. You could fight intruders. You could go to your hangar bay and select one of your small vessels for a quick interception while your ship remains where it is.

Maps could be used to guide one to a specific planet, or location, or type of tech there. Maybe scanned areas could be mapped in the Library. ''xopher425''<br /> <br /> ====Crowded/visible docking stations []====<br /> We've got all of these ships flying around in a bustling, living galaxy. When you go to dock at a small base, you can see it has 3-4 docking points. Put these two together, and you see that there should be a parking problem, at times. So why not have the base send the player back a message like, 'sorry, we're full. please enter holding pattern zeta while we clear things up. - ''CoffeeBot''<br /> <br /> I think, bases would claim the monopoly of force inside their weapon range. So any unauthorized fight in this area would be stopped through the base quickly. The base would first transmit a message like 'This territory is controlled by &lt;basename&gt;, please stop fighting and disable your weapons while staying.' If the ships continue their fight, the base would give a warning like: 'STOP fighting NOW or we will shoot you down' If the opponents still continue their fight, the base would shoot them down, launch its fighters or place a bounty on the ships. - ''caotic''<br /> <br /> I would like to see parking lots or piers and jetties. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> I think it'd be nice if you could see capital ships that are docked to the base. - ''cshank4''<br /> <br /> ===Additional playroles...===<br /> (a.k.a. vocations and mission types)<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10340 False ID's, bribes and other illegal stuff]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10499 Ideas for further minor missions]<br /> <br /> ====Treasure Hunter/Explorer/Archeologist []====<br /> I think it would be easy to add a third &quot;role&quot; in Vegastrike, besides 'trader' and 'hunter': 'Explorer'. If you specialize your ship and equipment for exploration, you'd probably be interested in &quot;treasure maps&quot; with full awareness of their NOT being treasure maps, but because of their potential for good finds in terms of habitable planets and resource-rich asteroids. - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> :This would require that at least some of the systems are left unexplored. Currently, I think all systems in VS have some level of faction presence. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> Be able to buy treasure maps from guys in bars (pirates! anyone?), which would mark special spots on your starcharts where a shipwreck could be or a special kind of anomaly or whatever. - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> <br /> At pirate bases one should be able to buy treasure maps, but that they'd be ancient documents written on PAPER! and using alphanumeric star designations from way back in the third millennium. So you have to figure out what's what. But the thing is, any such piece of paper from back in the 3rd millennium is automatically assumed to mean &quot;treasure&quot;, but more often than not, the papers are about anything but &quot;treasures&quot;, but rather about curious planets or moons, or, occasionally, about potential spots for inducing the formation of jump-points, or about the presence of archeological finds, or resources. - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=11068&amp;st=0&amp;sk=t&amp;sd=a&amp;start=45 Super-features of future releases]<br /> <br /> ====Reporter []====<br /> There should be GNN missions, to, say, take pictures of a battle or a fleet or some millionaire, or famous privateer in action, whatever. Started as a joke about Paparazzi. Also, if you happen to see some unusual fight, say confeds and insys fighting each other due to some friendly fire escalation, you could snap pictures of it and then bargain with a GNN representative over how much they are worth...<br /> <br /> I don't know whether he's planning to do something about it or not, or whether he's forgotten about it. The possibilities are multiplicative there: You could get a reputation faster, or avoid a reputation; you could have a fight with a fleet of a faction and avoid the impact of it on your standing with that faction as long as you a) destroy all the ships, b) kill all the ejected pilots, and c) make sure there was no gnn snapping pictures around. If you know someone is a double agent, and you have pictures to prove it, you can blackmail him.<br /> <br /> If you get too much of a reputation, you might get paparazzi following you around; but not too many factions hate them, so if you kill them it may get you in trouble. You'd wind up trying to predict and affect the presence or absence of news media depending on the mission you're doing; and in the overall, trying to avoid excessive notoriety. One strategy would be to become, oneself, a reliable gnn contributor, so as to make it a redundant option for them to send reporters to wherever you're going... - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> <br /> ====Tour guide or passenger liner []====<br /> Ferry tourists between scenic locations. Tours begin and end at the same location. <br /> * Passengers and passenger space could be a special kind of cargo (it requires extra life support). <br /> * Negotiate escorts to risky systems. Advertise traveling to try and get more passengers, and buy commercial time. Schedule flights in other systems ahead of you, or cancel them.<br /> <br /> ====Station manager []====<br /> Operate a station efficiently to increase trade throughput/production, and fend off pirates. Run an efficient shipyard, competitively buy/sell/repair/build ships using raw materials or supplies. Screen refugees for spies (requires buying citizen databases from merchant ships). Refuse docking clearance for jerks and scum. Prevent or foster trading of contraband and slaves while keeping the authorities happy. Upgrade number of dock points, defenses, power, cloaking of contraband, mining drills, etc. Set/Collect tariffs, fees and taxes, route or cover up news (or propaganda). Set up escorts for people. Sell employees and citizens enough food and supplies to be entertained and healthy but don't drive them out by charging too much. Request supplies from merchants via news bulletins. Choose which supplies to accept/reject, and rates for selling them (compete with other stations in and out system). Scout for new jump points and set up jump fees. Take bounties, try to catch pirates docking here but avoid pissing off their factions since you are a stationary target. Attempt to contract patrols to explore or protect the system (thus encouraging merchants to come), while keeping your overlords appeased about how much you're spending and how you're spending it. Secretly subcontract privateers and pirates (become a covert pirate base while maintaining a cover as a mining or medical base). Safely perform evacuations before any overwhelming forces arrive. Put down any uprisings from citizens. Add modules onto the base to increase capacity for all the business you're drawing in, but organize the construction for optimal defense. Specialize in a specific type of resource production using raw materials. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ====Bounty hunter []====<br /> Eliminate named individuals for a bounty.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=11486 Bounty Hunting]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=13308 Bounty mission/pirate ideas]<br /> <br /> ====Attended or unattended mining []====<br /> One should be able to mine asteroids/ore for additional income. Possibly, set up an unattended mining operations on asteroids requiring special mining droids that drill through the asteroid and deposit unprocessed ore into a repository that you can dock to and unload with your ship. Something like a modern-day oil rig. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=2155 Digging on Asteroids]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=6160 Mining?]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14690 Mining]<br /> <br /> ====Rescue missions []====<br /> Players should be able to initiate (and participate in) rescue missions as an alternative to/in conjunction with ejecting.

(conservative - wasteful)<br /> * '''Courage''': Will the pilot hightail after the first hits or fight to death?<br /> * '''Flying skill'''<br /> * '''Gunnery skill'''<br /> * '''Loyalty''': Willingness to obey in-flight orders. (always - never)<br /> * '''Verbosity''': Probability of random chat/taunt.<br /> <br /> For another example, Power DoLLS has:<br /> * '''Attack''': 2 stats for different sorts of targets (Ground and Air), <br /> * '''Combat Concentration''': Close-range damage.<br /> * '''Search Tachometer''': Acquire targets.<br /> * '''Defense''': Avoid incoming fire.<br /> * '''Action Point''': How much the pilot can actually do in the same time.<br /> <br /> A possible set for &quot;open box&quot; SCS with detection and ECM like Vega Strike could be similar to WC, plus '''Sensors skill''', '''Countermeasures skill''', '''Reaction''' and '''Persistency''' (overall inclination to proceed with the current course of action, influencing tactics and perhaps adjusting Aggressiveness/Courage/Loyalty checks). Units with multiple crew positions may have NPC with different skills - e.g. one working to use radars more efficiently, another controls turrets. See also &quot;NPC personality&quot; below.<br /> <br /> ====Crews and skills []====<br /> Ships' crew. An option to allow/demand more than one osition for specific ships, much like in Frontier Elite. But then, why not to make it more meaningful and give them different usefulness and wages? Same may apply to PC. Possibly advancing CRPG style (see below), but not necessarily. Sure, most tasks can be automated, but even then fully sentient oversight may improve the results. Same applies to the dock crews: a not very busy shipyard can be expected to polish the ship into mint condition, an orbital garden probably can fix basic systems, but no more than that. Everyone needs some sort of a bunk and can die on their workplace separately from others. A repairbot counts as crewmember in addition to being a ship system: it also is qualified to do specific jobs.<br /> <br /> * '''General Repair''': How fast the repair is, how much energy it consumes, how likely it is to waste materials or break things further. With a damaged repairbot the latter can be &quot;very likely&quot; unless supervised.<br /> * '''General Maintainance''': Less skilled teams may overlook something, so check vital ship systems more often to be on the safe side. More skilled engineers are likely to change a system's condition closer to ideal.<br /> * '''{specific system:rating}''': Adjustments for tagged sets of systems. Ignorant - can install - can quick-fix - can optimize (actually get ''good'' results, rather than passable) - expert.<br /> ** There are lots of ship systems, and ''of various origins''. Humans rarely get training and experience with Rlaan materials, while Rlaan don't use missile weapons - but could do something about Human shields and disruptors, at least standard ones.<br /> * '''Cargo operations''': How fast goods move into/from the hold. Eventually, loaders will move all those containers to the right pile either way, but time is money, so a good stevedore can be valuable. Also, even single-player game could do something with &quot;simulate_while_docked&quot;.<br /> <br /> * '''Acceleration tolerances''': This does matter, and depends on sub[[species]] or repairbot model. (probably, at least an XYZ vector)<br /> * '''Species/Type''': Defines lifesupport demands, among other things. Refers to a table and mostly is handled somewhere else.<br /> * '''Appearance''': Just name and sprite file, probably.<br /> * '''Upkeep''': Specific contract parameters.<br /> <br /> ====RPG characteristics [R]====<br /> Stat and skill-based experience system, ala the game ''[http://www.taleworlds.com/ Mount&amp;Blade]''. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> Examples:<br /> * ''strength stat'': can withstand more Gs or personal damage before succumbing.<br /> * ''intelligence stat'': increases the rate at which one can improve skills.<br /> * ''weapon-accuracy skill'': increases the size of the hit-box surrounding a target.<br /> * ''hacking skill'': increases one's ability to break into docked ships or sabotage subsystems.<br /> * ''gambling skill'': reaps additional credits in bars.<br /> * ''diplomacy skill'': increases influence with NPCs/factions.<br /> * ''leadership skill'': increases influence with wingmen.<br /> * ''merchant stat'': increases the price you can sell items for and decreases the price you can buy things for -''Jesse_The_Midget''<br /> <br /> Another example is ''Earth &amp; Beyond'', where XP and levels are tabulated separately for Exploration, Combat and Trading. Individual skills are then based on ranks in one of these three areas. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=6123 Make vegastrike more rpg]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=7189 RPG Characteristics]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=12841 Elite, veteran and green versions of NPC pilots]<br /> <br /> ====In-flight events []====<br /> <br /> Examples:<br /> * Having distress calls. - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> * Ability to communicate with other ships to ask for help or to offer them pay for escorting you or being your wing for a mission. - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> * NPC's that approach you in space to ask for help or to offer you money for a quick job. - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> * Things that break sometimes and you have to fix in flight. - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> * Mysterious ships one encounters once in a blue moon. - ''chuck_starchaser''<br /> * Getting info about events in your vicinity that can have an effect on trade, like a drought on planet X in system X. - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> * Mini-missions like a mercenary challenging you to a little race or dogfight simulation for money... Or even merchants asking you to trade directly in space. - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> * Space anomalies cropping up across space, and which you could choose to investigate if you have the right scientific equipment on board. These could then either give you technology or scientific material to trade and even contain precious artefacts that you can use to enhance your ship. - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> * Shipwrecks! Be able to track down and find ancient ships that can be salvaged entirely or only parts of. You could track them through still functioning beacons on the ship or energy signatures (star trek anyone?). - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> * Shipwrecks on planet surfaces that are infested with dangerous alien monsters. Before you can get all the valuable items in the shipwreck you have to fight them with weapons like you do in a 3d shooter. This might be an interesting feature with the new ogre engine which should allow such walking inside ships and space stations - ''Cordess''<br /> * A means of hailing a planet/station/anything you can dock with so that you can ask them to send a list of what they've got in stock, and what their current market prices are for all goods (even those which they don't have in stock, for the purposes of selling).

This, in most cases, removes any possibility of bugging out of combat with a ship, and if you're flying something like a Plowshare, you don't stand a chance against a Pacifier and 2 Hyenas anyway, but you can't get away and may as well press the self destruct button. Basically I'm just asking if you could make it so you can still SPEC in the presence of ships. If you want to maintain some form of SPEC interference caused by ships, you could make it so your SPEC speed slows down to about 200 or so, but it doesn't deactivate. 200 is still a reasonable speed to escape from a firefight.<br /> <br /> :COMMENT: SPEC system actually seems not to be affected by presence of ships(v0.5 beta), and I think it actually should, because now its not possible to dock on a larger ship if its specing. (Request docking clearance to make a friendly ship stop so you can get close and dock). And I would expect you should not be able to run away with SPEC, in contrary your options should be ( when meeting a superior opponent ):fight, give up, call for help.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14697 Few things i'd like to see, and do if i had the time]<br /> <br /> ====Regions of space with status effects []====<br /> Regions of space that affect sensors, disable shields, or cause radiation damage. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14697 Few things i'd like to see, and do if i had the time]<br /> <br /> ===Weapons, targeting &amp; ship systems...===<br /> <br /> ====Limitations on weapon auto-tracking []====<br /> Weapons should be limited in the distance they are able to track moving objects.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10919 Suggestion: per-weapon autotracking limits]<br /> <br /> ====Auto- or burst-fire for rockets []====<br /> One should be able to hold the &quot;fire&quot; button and launch rockets repeatedly.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10781 Suggestion: make rocket pods act like guns]<br /> <br /> ====Active weapon selection []====<br /> You should be able to toggle whether certain weapons are active/inactive.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14870 Weapon Fire Control/Weapon Switching]<br /> <br /> ====Heat/shield/power/stealth/etc. management [P]====<br /> The game really needs to implement some system of heat and temperature.

Given that the SPEC autopilot is already capable of figuring all this out and then some, the code must be in there somewhere :) Even with a trajectory indicator (above - and also sorely needed for flying capships) this function is needed so that you can initiate a stop and then jump into a turret and do some firing while your gigantic, ponderous vessel comes about. - ''drinkypoo''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10047 Current Vector Slash Antivector Matching Autopilot option]<br /> <br /> ====Improvements to mouse controls []====<br /> The mouse flight controls need improvement.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=11340 Controlling the ship]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=11848 better mouse control mode?]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=11149 Crosshair (feature?)]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=15066 mouseoff, christening, and crew]<br /> <br /> ====Add support for the wiimote []====<br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10525 wiimote for vegastrike!]<br /> <br /> ====Add support for TrackIR []====<br /> Add support for TrackIR to track head movements.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14761 anyone ever think of these ideas?]<br /> <br /> ===HUD improvements...===<br /> <br /> ====Turrets status display []====<br /> In the HUD, have additional indicators near the current weapons summary that display information about any turrets installed on your ship: whether the turret AI is active, and what their current state is (damaged 50%, destroyed etc...) - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> <br /> ====Make HUD radar blip proportional to mass []====<br /> It would be cool if you could tell from your radar screen which contacts are planet-sized. - ''glarbl_blarbl''<br /> <br /> :I think differently-classed objects should receive different icons in the UI. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ====Trajectory/direction/motion indicators []====<br /> Some kind of hud lines or something that would tell me which direction I'm travelling would be good.

Ships smaller than stations are represented using dots instead of meshes. Orbital paths/gravitational fields should also be represented. Setting autopilot waypoints or nav targets should also be possible. See ''Homeworld'' for an example. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ==Starmap []==<br /> <br /> ===Show dockable targets and factions in starmap []===<br /> It would be useful for the map screen to show you what dockable planets and stations are present and what faction is in control in the system you have selected. - ''unknown''<br /> <br /> ===In-base starmap []===<br /> It would be great to have a starmap you could consult while at a station. That way, you could make intelligent choices about hauling cargo. Having this accessible from a Station Library would be the way to go.<br /> The other solution would be to add such functionality to the mission computer. E.g. except the Accept button for a chosen mission there could be a Map button that would, when pressed, show the route to the target star system of the mission.<br /> Or the map could be accessible from the info screen. E.g. except the Pilot and Ship buttons there could be a Map button. Red circle with an arrow and 'YOU ARE HERE' text would be informative thing too. -''unknown''<br /> <br /> ===Larger/better starmap window []===<br /> Make the window/map as large as possible to increase its usefulness as a summary of in-system objects. The starmap should not have such a thick frame, for example. Currently it's trying to show more than the HUD in less space than the HUD. While the player needs to be reminded the game isn't paused, this could be accomplished by providing a slight transparency to the starmap (such as 5% or 7% transparent, mostly opaque). The transparency effect would be more fun for players. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> Other improvements need to be made to make exploring using the starmap less painful.<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=14923 Large scale navigation]<br /> <br /> ===Separate nav/info buttons []===<br /> They're not related, so they should be separate buttons. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Modal buttons should show current mode []===<br /> Move multifunction buttons that affect the view (Nav, Info, Map) away from buttons that affect how the view is represented (2D, 3D, Ortho); use color, position, size/shape, or distance to separate these button groups. Anytime a button cycles between multiple modes (eg with 2d/3d/ortho), some visual cue should *show* the users which mode is the current one (bold/color/lighting). <br /> *This menu has its virtues. It's not entirely keyboard based, for example.<br /> *One possible approach: <br /> ***use tabs for the different views, and buttons that light up for view-options. (Tabs should be stylized for the theme--green glowing outlines for example, or side tabs styled like gmail.com inbox/archive/trash/spam/... tabs). <br /> ***Only show view options when they're applicable. <br /> ***Make every view option a separate button (2d is its own button). They should be separate controls because a modal button doesn't communicate which mode is selected. A single button shouldn't do 3 things instead of 1 - it's not normal or expected, so it will confuse people. <br /> ***Don't use tabs for 2d/3d/ortho, since changing the view in one affects the view in the others, and tabs usually indicate independence from each other. While I don't suggest making them a radio list (this isn't a form to fill out), this is essentially what they are. <br /> ***For efficiency, consider making it so users can glance at another view option without clicking on it: hovering over &quot;2d&quot; should make it 2d temporarily; Clicking 2d should make it stick. This has the disadvantage that users may get confused: they might not think the buttons can be clicked, and will never actually switch to another view to manipulate the map. For this reason, the buttons should clearly show their state, and their relationship should be obvious. Perhaps something like a line should connect the three items, and the selected item should be depressed with glowing letters, while the others are raised. Hovering doesn't raise a button, but it makes its text glow. Even if this takes work, it will make the game a lot easier to understand and thus fun to play. Even users who catch on quickly should feel like it's very smooth and obvious--smooth so focus stays on the game instead of the menu, and obvious so it's easier to remember where things are later. Flashy so things are more memorable and satisfying to click (and thus discover). -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Rename &quot;Up/Down&quot; []===<br /> The labeling for Up/Down doesn't really tell what it does. The up/down button should be relabeled as &quot;View - System/Sector&quot; -- or separated into two buttons -- or toggle between saying &quot;View System&quot; and &quot;View Sector&quot; when the user clicks it. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Changes to planet/base icons []=== <br /> It's hard to click on specific items. Planets and bases don't need huge icons around them as with VS 0.4.3. It makes it hard to read anything, and harder to select things that are close. Just have the item whose center is closest to the cursor be selected. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> Geometric shapes should not be reused excessively. Try to reserve each shape for a particular class of object in order to prevent overlap and confusion. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=2194&amp;p=18146#p18146 In-Game Map]<br /> <br /> ===Crowded areas []===<br /> It's impossible to click on really closely spaced items. When an area is crowded, selecting it should cause the map to temporarily zoom in to select the actual target, then zoom out again. (Alternately, instead of zoom use a subwindow or popup menu of items to select near the cursor). -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Preview target (on hover) []===<br /> Hovering over any item should show its image as with the HUD view in bottom right. This will help users to recognize what they're looking for. Also, consider showing distance to target and other details on hover (faction, friendliness rating number, estimated value, time in-system, favorite color, ...) -[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]<br /> * While a target is hovered over, shift_1 through shift_9 should set it as a remembered target. This fact should be advertised when the cursor is over the item. If already assigned, the current number it is assigned to should be displayed; Displaying key assignments immediately will show the user the assignment was successful, and keep them from forgetting if a target has already been assigned a number. It will also remind a user if it was important. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> ** Pressing a number 1-9 should jump the cursor to a remembered target. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> ** While Shift is pressed but before a number is pressed, all the target assignments should be shown in a layover text. Consider doing this for the HUD display too (although Ctrl and Shift do a lot more on the HUD, so it might not make sense there). -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===&quot;You are here&quot; indicator []===<br /> Instead of another inconsequential dot showing &quot;llama.begin&quot; or something, highlight the current location (base computer) or ship (in-flight) using color, font, fontsize, thickness, icon, and/or pulsing color. A crosshair won't work well in 3d, but it's worth considering. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> :I like how ''Homeworld'''s sensors mode put the ship at the center of the (spherical) coordinate system. Though this might not be appropriate for a starmap. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ===Color saturation indicates distance from camera []===<br /> While color should still show what an item is, the color's saturation could be less saturated and smaller if the item is supposed to be further inside the map. While rotating the 3d view, as items move closer to the camera, their colors should get more vibrant, the icons slightly larger. To provide reference on saturation, the polar grid in 3d mode could be more vibrant in the front, and less so in back. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> :I disagree. I think colors should be reserved for different ''types'' of objects. (i.e. ships, astronomical objects, HUD information, etc.) -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> ===Nav system/software upgrades []===<br /> Sensor and Software upgrades could let the user toggle viewing of:<br /> * SPEC gravity field interference (in grayscale or cloud/alpha gradients), <br /> * commonly used flight paths &amp; pirated zones (past battle locations per down-map system, or up-map color coding of dangerous sectors/stars)<br /> * visited: stations &amp; systems -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> Navigation software upgrades could let the user:<br /> * plot direct courses for autopilot<br /> * plot least-time courses for autopilot<br /> * plot multi-stage courses (over several jumps), with auto-targeting of each consecutive jump point upon entering the system. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===News &amp; mission view []===<br /> This layer would only be available on stations/planets.<br /> * Show news based on regions/stars. A number beside each star could show how many relevant news items are from there. Hovering and clicking on a star would show news for that star.<br /> * Show star and route to star based on news.<br /> * Also, search for and accept missions from the starmap.<br /> * Transparency of the background could allow for skinning the news/mission/pilot views of the map screen, so that it seems different depending on where it's accessed. Eg, in a news kiosk, it might have the GNN logo in the background and a reflection of the hangar or mall. In the pilot seat, it could be semitransparent like a glass tactical screen, with a slight/blurred pilot helmet reflection and the HUD actively moving behind it. Mission views could look like a Microsoft Surface(R) bar table. -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Tooltips on mouse hover []===<br /> * Sector View: on hover, Highlight jump routes connecting this star. Keep highlighting jump routes if clicked?<br /> * System View: on hover, Show object preview, with distance-to/name/faction/friendliness and other data, when mouse hovers over a ship or planet. For jump points, list known(visited) places at the destination (planets, stations, etc). -''[[User:bugeyedllama|bugeyedllama]]''<br /> <br /> ===Other suggested improvements...===<br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=9816 system map/hud radar]<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=11169 A Beeter Nav computer]<br /> <br /> ==Base/Other UI==<br /> <br /> ===Station library []===<br /> A Station library / encyclopedia would provide a useful repository for background documents written by jackS and others, as well as providing a logical place to access the Map-screen. History articles and Race/Faction descriptions could be available from the library. - ''unknown''<br /> <br /> :How about a Library Station? T'would be more scholarly. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]]''<br /> <br /> :Maybe Research Stations and University Planets should have the best libraries?

Different factions could invent their own versions of the history of certain events. That way, you could have a heap of different articles available at different places. It would add a lot more depth to the world. You could also use it as a form of credits for some of the developers. Many games there days are going for a 'hidden credits within the game' approach. -''Aronzak''<br /> <br /> ===Trade subscriptions []===<br /> Subscriptions to publications that give news of trade opportunities or happenings in industry. Should be limited in scope to a particular industry or faction, but should cover a larger astronomical area than &quot;General News&quot;, be more thorough in its coverage, as well as/or be more explicit in how it can benefit the player. -''[[User:Shark|Shark]] and others''<br /> <br /> ===Describe why upgrade X cannot be installed []===<br /> In the ship upgrades screen, display a short note describing why you cannot install upgrade x (already installed/higher version installed/ship not capable etc.) - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> <br /> ===Specialized repair console []===<br /> In the ship upgrades screen, have one section specialized in repairs that lists all damaged components and makes it easy to select which ones to repair without having to click on all upgrade sections to check if there are damaged components hiding somewhere. - ''AeonOfTime''<br /> <br /> ===Expand/collapse all buttons []===<br /> In the computer screens with expandable lists, have buttons 'expand all' and 'collapse all' to be able to expand or collapse the tree of all available items without clicking on the individual sections. <br /> <br /> ===Multiple-choice conversations [X]===<br /> multiple choice dialogs (at the bottom at the screen, or as a pop-up, I don't know) that'd give writers a lot of flexibility. Besides empowering writers with the ability to do actual dialogs, it gives player the ability to negotiate, to investigate, to strike special deals, to add fine points to a mission--everything you can think of. And of course, multiple choice still can do the 'yes' and 'no'. - ''CubOfJudahsLion''<br /> <br /> ===Cargo/ship/upgrade/weapon compare screen []===<br /> As the title already states a screen where it is possible to compare the various items. Maybe having the separations '''cargos, ships, upgrades, weapons''' as they all have their special attributes and more important infos. - ''unknown''<br /> <br /> ===Sort mission list by destination []===<br /> In the mission screen, add a button that sorts the missions by destination. Or at least sort the missions by destination rather than alphabetically within their categories. that way users can accept multiple missions which go to the same target system. -''Thawn''<br /> <br /> ''Discussion threads:''<br /> * [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?p=93927 sort missions by destination.]<br /> <br /> ===Economic index []===<br /> It would be nice if there was some kind of economic index, so you could tell what the buying and selling prices are for a given commodity.

Tbeholder https://wiki.vega-strike.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Development:Economy&diff=19669 2014-02-16T17:03:37Z

<p>Tbeholder: </p> <hr /> <div>== Current situation and wish list ==<br /> <br /> Currently the economic system is quite limited (as far as playing the game has showed me). Only the player himself (or herself of course) is actually trading [[Cargo|goods]]. To create a more dynamic universe, the economy has to be extended in such a way that [[NPC]] (i.e. non-player characters, the computer-players) are also able to influence it. This will require quite some extensions. Ideas about a new economic system will be posted here and can of course be discussed.<br /> <br /> == Future economy ==<br /> <br /> The future economy should be more dynamic in the sense that not only the human player does trading, but the various computer players also participate. To create this, there are a number of changes required. Note that the changes described here are without any knowledge about the actual code, so there may be errors in this describtion.<br /> <br /> The first thing needed is an improved model for the demands and offers of goods on different bases and planets. A mining base e.g. would need a huge amount of food and mining equipment, while a medical base might supply medical equipment. An indication of this system are the different prices for goods on different types of bases/planets. Usage of these goods however is not build into the game. The first task, thus, would be to create a model which describes the usage and production of goods, resulting in not only increasing amounts of goods due to production but also descreasing amounts due to consumption. Depending on the consumption and current stock, the price of the goods should be determined. This change in price can off course be used as a way to fuel trade. There are however a number of problems which need to be addressed:<br /> <br /> 1) Does a base or planet have a certain amount of [[Terminology:Credits|money]] at the start of the game and does the change with every purchase or sale or do they have an unlimmited amount of money. The major problem with the first option is that this can result in bases going bankrupt.<br /> <br /> 2) Is there a limit to the amount of products e.g. a miningbase can produce as this will result in bases being abandoned when resources are depleted.<br /> <br /> The probable course to follow for these problems is to start with bases without any limits. Introducing limits will spawn the need to add the option to start new bases on e.g. asteroids with valuable resources, which is a large project itself.<br /> <br /> The main goal on this change is to provide a basic infrastructure to allow trading by NPCs. To achieve this the modal of a NPC has to be extended. They should be aware of prices on the different bases and should be able to figure out a nice trading route. This in itself isn't really hard as it's just calculating the profit per distance (or time) traveled of all known [[Cargo|goods]] and selecting the highest. Besides this parameters like the type of the goods (and thus the space usage), the amount available on bases, etc need to be taken into account.<br /> <br /> == Current Proposal ==<br /> Reworking the Vega Strike Economy:<br /> A Three-Fold Approach<br /> <br /> After extended discussions, a potential dynamic economy has been developed. The proposed approach requires three areas of development. See forum threads - [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=10828 old (2008-2011)], [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&amp;t=19507 new (2014)].<br /> <br /> The quest to make the Vega Strike economy dynamic and hopefully more realistic has been a long one. However, it seems to be nearing an end. Mid March of 2008 “Javier” Launched a thread to try to consolidate existing economic threads that where popping up about that time. Discussions stalled with out a definitive agreement on neither features nor scope. At the end of January 2011 “Travists” tried to revive the thread. A fairly rapid-fire series of posts followed, and a general consensus was reached early in February that same year. What was determined was that there are three areas that the economy needs include: the economy responds to its self, the universe responds to the economy, and the economy responds to major changes in the universe.<br /> <br /> <br /> There are several points in this system that underlie the three parts of development. Any attempt at a realistic economy must include [[Supply and Demand Dynamics]]. Also implied, is that the distance goods must be transported as well as the risk in that transportation influences the price. The price, availability, and faction deployment of ships and equipment depends on manufacturing sites and overall market conditions. The manufacture of goods causes prices to reflect the cost of the goods needed to make them. Manufactured quantities of goods changes with demand. Bases are simulated separately. Traffic patterns and trade levels change to indicate the current market. Factions and corporations can alter the economy by supporting various projects. A final tweak suggested is that there is a range of population densities, radiating out from core systems, rather than the current random distribution. These have several interplays leading to the three-fold approach.<br /> <br /> Changes to the main VS program are needed for the universe to respond to economic changes. These include polling of the current economic factors in ship locations and numbers. When major economic changes evolve out of the simulation the news reports on it. The strength of factions is largely influenced by their economic standing. Likely also included here are the population distributions. There also needs to be developed for the program a routine to calculate present supply/demand levels. One of the major changes to the game is in the dynamic generation of the universe. That relates to the population distribution. At present, it is all random. To facilitate the dynamic economy being usable each faction needs a homeworld. Populations than diminish as you go outward from them. Another change to the universe populating process needs to look at the number of habitable planets in a system, asteroids and nebulae to determine population and what base types there are.<br /> <br /> The economy needs to be set up for internal responses. Ships produced at shipyards and parts at factories likely falls in here. The economic database needs an entry for each base containing each good and its interrelationship with other goods. Changes in costs radiate outwards from the affected base. After much discussion the best way to do this is generally agreed to be a flow rate number crunching system rather than simulating every ship needed to account for the transfer of goods. Also included in here are the data and coding changes for population distributions starting costs, and availability/cost of ships and upgrades being based on the location of production facilities. Should the population be set up to be fluid, then economic levels would drive any significant changes. Such population changes also would change the demand for goods. Clearly, much of the dynamics of the dynamic economy happens here.<br /> <br /> There are also many ways that the economy needs to respond to the program. The destruction or heavy damage of a base would change the availability of the goods that that base produces and may increase the local need for medical and construction supplies. Should a faction take over a base than production shifts to reflect that factions goods. Disasters also may be triggered changing needs. Basically anytime something happens in game that would logically change the cost and/or availability of goods, ships, or parts needs to be responded to.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Development]]</div>

While virtually all models are welcome, well before you start cranking out wonderfully designed models we request that you first check what models are still required.<br /> <br /> {{warning_text |<br /> | text='''Note:''' If you wish to contribute a new or updated model (ship, installation, turret, cockpit, ..) to the game Vega Strike, please see the [[Development:3D_Models|'''3D Models''']] page for models requiring attention.}}<br /> <br /> Alternatively, contact [[User:jackS|jackS]] or [[User:pyramid|pyramid]].<br /> <br /> = Modeling Pipeline Overview =<br /> <br /> <br /> {|border=&quot;2&quot; rules=&quot;rows&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;width:100%; text-align:center; background-color:#98ffb2&quot; |<br /> |'''Step<br /> |'''Input<br /> |'''Output<br /> |'''Tools<br /> |'''Requirements<br /> |'''Tutorials<br /> |-<br /> <br /> | Model Selection<br /> | -<br /> | required model<br /> | [[Development:3D_Models|model task list]]<br /> | -<br /> | -<br /> |-<br /> <br /> | Conceptualization<br /> | selected model<br /> | model concept<br /> | pen &amp; paper, artwork forum<br /> | artstyle guide<br /> | -<br /> |-<br /> <br /> | Modeling<br /> | concept<br /> | model mesh, obj files<br /> | blender, forum<br /> | many<br /> | -<br /> |-<br /> <br /> | Texturing<br /> | model mesh<br /> | textures<br /> | gimp, forum<br /> | texture requirements<br /> | -<br /> |-<br /> <br /> | Integration<br /> | model + textures<br /> | bfxm + dds textures<br /> | mesher + UnitConverter<br /> | -<br /> | -<br /> |-<br /> <br /> | Testing<br /> | bfxm model + dds textures<br /> | visual + behavior<br /> | vegastrike + modelview.mission<br /> | pass or rework<br /> | -<br /> |-<br /> <br /> | Submission<br /> | blender file + obj, master textures, bfxm + dds textures<br /> | archive or svn<br /> | mail, svn client<br /> | -<br /> | -<br /> |}<br /> <br /> =Model Requirements=<br /> <br /> ==Requirements Checklist==<br /> <br /> Considerations for a successful model submission:<br /> * Model is in the requirements list [[Development:3D_Models|-&gt;]]<br /> * Abides to faction visual guidelines<br /> * Has approved concept<br /> * Provides model source file (blender, Wings3D, ...)<br /> * Provides OBJ file<br /> * Has model mesh, shield mesh, LoD meshes, helper meshes<br /> * Provides uncompressed textures in png format (and optionally faction textures)<br /> * Provides texture source files (GIMP, ...)<br /> * Provides HUD png image with correct orientation<br /> * Provides units.csv file entry<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Model Requirements Details==<br /> <br /> ==Visual Guidelines==<br /> <br /> For particular aesthetic guidelines, please see the [[Artstyle guides]] page. Please note that many of the existing models are used because of expedience, not because they fit well with VS canon (i.e. if you make something new look like what's there, it still might not be what we're looking for). If in doubt, please ask on the [http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=4 Artwork &amp; Content Vetting forum]. <br /> <br /> To absolutely sure, for new models, please create a drawing of your proposed concept and let it be discussed and approved on the [http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=4 Artwork &amp; Content Vetting forum].<br /> <br /> See also [[Development:Texture Guidelines]]<br /> <br /> ==Model File Format==<br /> The preferred format for submission (for public disbursement - whatever native format is used inside your favorite modeling suite is fortunately a non-issue) is currently Wavefront OBJ file format, as this is the most easily converted between manipulation (assorted modeling tools) and presentation (currently BFXM, later to be the OGRE .mesh format). Model &quot;source&quot; therefore, is, at present (Sep. 2008), most usefully uploaded as .OBJ.<br /> <br /> Until such a time as a visual model editing tool is completed, conversion to a game-ready format will likely pass through the .xmesh format for insertion of LOD references into top level mesh(es), correction of coordinate &quot;handedness&quot; (if the ordering of the coordinate axes is incompatible, as appears to happen with the output of some modeling tools).<br /> <br /> See [[HowTo:Add_Ships]] for information on using mesher to convert to a presentation format (such as BFXM). Note that an old utility, objconv, is '''not''' mesher, and should not be used for this task. Source files for the mesher utility are included along with VS source. Windows users may download updated mesher binaries from their SVN interface of choice (the binary will be in the \bin directory).<br /> <br /> ==Polygon/Vertex Count==<br /> In broadest terms, the desired polygon count for a particular model is dependent on three major factors: <br /> *The amount of screen real-estate that the model is likely to be viewed at the majority of time that a user will be seeing it (i.e. a 2 meter long rocket doesn't deserve the same order of magnitude of attention to detail as a large base or vessel unless the rocket is expected to be mounted in front of a camera. Likewise, even at the same level of attention in terms of polygons per square meter, it would have far fewer total polygons.)<br /> *The intrinsic surface complexity of the model. If one is modeling a box for freight cargo, one is not going to need as many polygons as if one needed to model one of the Vega Strike developers (not that we're necessarily model material ;-)). If you don't use enough polygons, no amount of texture magic can save a model from being ugly. That said, if you are modeling a cargo freight container and you use thousands of polygons, you're being negligent and wasteful of resources.<br /> *Engine limitations. Engine limitations is a bit of a misnomer, as the performance of the graphical engine is more hardware dependent than anything else, but it's a good heading for lumping any non-artistic hurdles under. This is the most complicated of the three major factors, because it represents a moving target. Suffice it to say that in order to preserve playability on a broad range of systems, there is a premium placed on making a model aesthetically appropriate with the minimum number of polygons.<br /> <br /> Rough guideline:<br /> *Fighter: 15k triangles<br /> *Corvette: 30k tris<br /> *Cruiserer: 60k<br /> *Carrier: 120k<br /> *Space station: 250k<br /> <br /> However, significant discression, and the possibility for using large numbers of polygons to prettify an object remain with the artist, provided they make appropriate use of [[Terminology:LODs|LODs]]. The primary focus needs to be on making a model aesthetically appropriate, for an intended common viewing distance, and then catering to the needs of the engine by introducing lower LODs (if necessary) and catering to artistic desires by introducing higher LODs (if appropriate). There is also an element of minor future proofing that occurs with providing a robust range of LOD poly counts - namely, multiple versions of the data set can be constructed targeted at different hardware points by shifting up or down along the LOD set (although this currently isn't bothered with, if and when we develop a true source repository for models and textures, this will likely become more common, as postprocessing of submitted art will become tenable).<br /> <br /> One more point to consider before attempting to set a polygon goal for a model is what the likely total contribution from all instances on screen of a given model will be - if the model represents something particularly rare, then it is likely that a few more polygons can easily be spared on its model than for more common objects of otherwise similar size, complexity, etc.<br /> <br /> Above all, use common sense - if it's visually hideous because it doesn't have enough polygons, it's not your top level model, and if it's in the 5 digit range for polygon count, it's not your lowest level LOD. Take into consideration how much screen real estate, based on the intended in-game size of the model (and if you don't have any idea how big it's supposed to be - you're doing something wrong already) the model will be taking up at various distances, and calibrate detail appropriately (this will become a much easier task once there is a visual modeling tool from the VS side) - to belabor the obvious, the difference between 500 polygons and 5000 gets somewhat obscured when the object is only drawn using 64 pixels. Note therefore that larger objects will often necessitate higher polygon counts merely because there's more of them to see.<br /> <br /> (Note that there is no need to continue adding LODs beyond a point of &quot;diminishing artistic returns&quot; - if adding more detail won't help, don't bother. If adding detail helps, but is too expensive to be practical, then it may still be worthwhile for later inclusion as hardware resources increase.)<br /> <br /> For small to moderate craft and installations, something along the lines of either of the following is not inappropriate:<br /> <br /> (Exponential Scaling)<br /> *LOD 0 &lt;= 500 tri's.<br /> *LOD 1 &lt;= 2000<br /> *LOD 2 &lt;= 4000<br /> *LOD 3 &lt;= 8000<br /> *LOD 4 &lt;= 16000<br /> *LOD 5 &gt;16000<br /> <br /> (Quadratic Scaling)<br /> *LOD 0 &lt;= 500 tri's.<br /> *LOD 1 &lt;= 2000<br /> *LOD 2 &lt;= 4500<br /> *LOD 3 &lt;= 8000<br /> *LOD 4 &lt;= 12500<br /> *LOD 5 &lt;= 18000<br /> *LOD 6 &gt;18000<br /> <br /> Larger models, such as capital vessels and large installations will likely follow a similar curve, but at a higher offset, due to increased size. Truly massive models should be partitioned into multiple meshes, each with its own set of LODs such that nearer portions of the model can be independently represented at higher LOD than more distant ones. Partitioning into multiple meshes may be preferable even for merely &quot;largish&quot; models so as to preserve reasonable correspondence between single pixels and the size of represented features when texturing.<br /> <br /> ==Textures==<br /> <br /> Texture maps should also be made accordingly, although clearly artistic integrity trivially trumps the following rough guideline (if you need more pixels, use them) and the appropriate texture size may depend greatly upon the size of the model.<br /> <br /> *LOD 1 128x128<br /> *LOD 2 256x256<br /> *LOD 3 512x512<br /> *LOD 4 1024x1024<br /> *LOD 5 and up having multiple 1024x1024 textures<br /> <br /> Be careful with ''texture lodding abuse''. Each LOD that uses its own texture will require more memory (video memory), and breaks batching between instances (slows down rendering of many instances of this model). Even so, texture lodding actually frees up memory most of the time, since only lesser versions are used in the distance. A general rule of thumb is to never have more than two or at most three versions of the same texture. Also take any opportunity to convert textures to greyscale when the color loss is not quite noticeable (most commonly with glow maps and specular maps).<br /> <br /> Likewise, for larger models, do not neglect the potential addition of detail textures.<br /> <br /> See also [[Development:Texture Guidelines]] and [[Development:Graphics_Requirements]].<br /> <br /> ===Faction Textures===<br /> <br /> To include and successfully test faction textures in your data, you need to:<br /> * set the corresponding vegastrike.config variable (&lt;code&gt;var name=&quot;faction_dependant_textures&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;&lt;/code&gt;).<br /> * prefix default textures with the faction name, e.g. when your default texture is called &quot;tex_000.texture&quot;, to enable the faction texture for &quot;pirates&quot; you'll need to add the texture &quot;pirates_tex_000.texture&quot;.<br /> * change configuration to one of the 2 highest computer modes (512M+1GB or 1024MB).<br /> <br /> ==Shield and Collision Meshes==<br /> Separate shield meshes are highly desirable. Shield meshes should also be done using LODs, although shield meshes should remain simple - that is, their top level meshes should not contain odious numbers of polygons for something that is only infrequently displayed.<br /> <br /> Collision meshes need not (and cannot) have LODs. For complex models, it is wise to provide a dumbed-down version of the model that reasonably approximates its shape - minor features and greebles can be safely removed, for instance - to improve performance on the physics engine. Polycount should be kept to a minimum, '''without sacrificing any major features''' of the top-level LOD. Very small vessels (or appropriately shaped ones) may opt to not specify a collision mesh, which will make the physics layer treat this mesh as a spherical object (most efficient).<br /> <br /> ==HUD Image==<br /> <br /> Provides perspective view of the model oriented with the nose towards the left-bottom corner of the image.<br /> The master image resolution should start at 256x256 pixels with transparency around the vessel.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> For an example of an entity that is composed of multiple meshes, uses LODs, and shield meshes, examine the Clydesdale. (Note that shield and collision meshes are specified in the units.csv file, not by the model.)<br /> <br /> =Model Creation=<br /> <br /> The first (and most enjoyable) job is to design and draw your model (the geometrical object) within your program.<br /> <br /> Feel free to use any modeling program, but it must be able to export models in either (Wavefront) .OBJ or (Vega Strike) .xmesh format. If you don't know where to start, see [[Links:3D Applications]] for a list of modeling software. [http://www.wings3d.com/ Wings 3D] is recommended for modeling beginners. [http://www.blender.org/ '''Blender'''] is the tool of choice for VS artistic community.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Orientation==<br /> First off, do yourself a favor and line your model up correctly before you begin. For the purposes of Vega Strike, Z+ is forwards and Y+ is up. The model's nose should be pointing forward along the Z+ axis (so that the Z+ axis would theoretically be visible from the cockpit). The mesh should also be properly centered.<br /> Summing up:<br /> * Z+ -&gt; Forward direction<br /> * Y+ -&gt; Up direction<br /> * Centered<br /> <br /> == Tutorials==<br /> <br /> {{warning_text |<br /> | text='''Note:''' The tutorials overview is not complete.

When much more detailed objects are baked into normalmaps, we may guess which parts are actually flat, but not see it. Even what seemed to be minor shortcomings in UV mapping from afar may become more realistic when close enough (the left pole).<br /> <br /> =Integration and Testing=<br /> <br /> Using UnitConverter to convert all files and edit the model stats for Vega Strike:<br /> [[Development:Tools:UnitConverter]]<br /> <br /> ===Object Marker===<br /> In order to automatically create turret mounts, gun mounts, and engine thrusters placements in units.csv, please use the following marker:<br /> <br /> http://deeplayer.com/cinemut/gunmountmarker.jpg<br /> <br /> The shape is 1 units wide in X, 2 units tall in Y, 4 units long in Z. Four vertices in total. The center between the two vertices on X is the origin; the vertex on Z marks the forward direction; the vertex on Y marks the up direction.<br /> The exported object names are ready and the forward and up directions are calculated from the marker dimensions. Thus, we don't need to worry about mesh rotations; we can deduce mesh rotation from the marker.<br /> <br /> The dock marker for docking ports is an exception, since the docking square in game is always rendered facing the player, so the orientation doesn't really matter and only the center matters for the docking port position. <br /> <br /> [author:chuck_starchaser]<br /> * Here's the marker blend file (you could load and save as the default blender start):<br /> ** [http://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vegastrike/trunk/modtools/UnitConverter/helper/mount_helper.blend?view=log ''modtools/UnitConverter/helper/mount_helper.blend'']<br /> * Starts with a marker smack in the middle.<br /> * You can move it to another layer, later duplicate it as needed to place copies at key locations.<br /> * You can also import the marker into another blend file:<br /> ** Open whatever.blend, go to File -&gt; Append Or Link<br /> ** Navigate to where UnitConverter/helper/mount_helper.blend is.<br /> * Go to the &quot;Objects&quot; folder, and click on the &quot;Marker&quot; object.<br /> * To duplicate an object, in object mode, select and shift-D.<br /> * To rename your duplicated object, hit F9 and, towards the left, where it says OB:Marker click in the middle of it and then type &quot;turret_heavy_0&quot; or whatever.<br /> * copy all markers to layer 2<br /> * select layer 2<br /> * select all markers with the A key<br /> * export to obj using Edges, Objects<br /> <br /> <br /> http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/albums/WIPs-and-Concept-Art/mounts_20080911.jpg<br /> <br /> The above image shows the markers set as the centers of engine thrusts.<br /> <br /> It is advisable to group the marker objects into a group called &quot;marker&quot;. You are required to export all the markers into one obj file that needs to contain the name &quot;marker&quot; in it (letter case is unimportant, it can be &quot;marker&quot;, or &quot;Marker&quot;).<br /> <br /> Object Helper naming convention: ''type_subtype_identifier''<br /> <br /> with type:<br /> * pilot (currently unused)<br /> * mount (currently unused)<br /> * turret<br /> * subunit<br /> * engine<br /> * dock<br /> <br /> and subtype being optional (convention tbd),<br /> and identifier being either a number or a description and optional.<br /> <br /> You may define for example:<br /> * dock<br /> * dock_auto_20<br /> * mount_lightmedium_0<br /> * turret_capmissile_frontleft<br /> * subunit_1<br /> * engine_retro_left<br /> <br /> ===Exporting to OBJ===<br /> <br /> ===Updating Stats===<br /> * [[HowTo:Add Descriptions|Putting ship and goods descriptions into the game]]<br /> * [[HowTo:Edit master_part_list.csv|Editing the Master_part_list.csv file]]<br /> <br /> =Submission and Vetting=<br /> <br /> =Technical Reference=<br /> <br /> ==Technical Specifications==<br /> <br /> * [[HowTo:Edit BFXM files|Editing BFXM files (format spec)]]<br /> * [[HowTo:Edit XMESH files|Editing the xmesh file of a ship]]<br /> * [[HowTo:Edit units.csv|Editing units.csv]]<br /> * [[HowTo:Add Engine Glow|Adding an engine glow to your 3D model]]<br /> <br /> ==Scripts and Tools==<br /> <br /> See [[Development:Scripts_%26_Tools|Scripts &amp; Tools]]<br /> * [[HowTo:Add_Ships#New_method|mesher converter obj &lt;-&gt; bfxm &lt;-&gt; xmesh]]<br /> * [[Development:Tools:UnitConverter|UnitConverter]]<br /> <br /> =References=<br /> <br /> * [http://wcpedia.com/dw/doku.php/wc_info/modding/index WCpedia Modeling Page]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Development|Model Guidelines]]<br /> [[Category:Modeling|Model Guidelines]]</div>

<p>Tbeholder: </p> <hr /> <div>=General=<br /> <br /> This page summarizes concepts and approaches to creating planet surfaces as seen from orbit.<br /> Topics of atmospheric entry and close-to-surface planetary topology and atmospheric effects or planetary flight should be covered in a separate document.<br /> <br /> Two main topics are covered in this document:<br /> * Development of textured surfaces<br /> * Development of procedural surfaces<br /> <br /> =Textured Surfaces=<br /> <br /> ==Texture Requirements==<br /> <br /> ===Generic Image Requirements===<br /> <br /> Please read this [[Development:Graphics_Requirements]] page before continuing to the specific requirements.<br /> <br /> ===Specific Image Requirements===<br /> ===Summary of Texture Requirements===<br /> Textures ready for submission should fulfill:<br /> * Codec: dds DXT1 with mipmaps for diffuse textures; dds DXT3 with mipmaps for citylight textures<br /> * Extension: .texture<br /> * Ratio (horizontal:vertical): 2:1<br /> * Size: following the POT rule (power-of-two)<br /> * Resolution: min 2048x1024<br /> * Tilable (seamless): horizontally and vertically<br /> * Quality: RQ or CQ<br /> <br /> ===Image Resolution, Formats, and Quality===<br /> The planet surface graphics format currently recommended for the game is '''dds''' format with dxt1 compression, with filenames ending in '''.texture'''. (Before May 2008, DDS textures were stored in files named .png, because of references to filenames in other places.)<br /> <br /> The '''image ratio''' horizontal:vertical must be 2:1 (assuming pixel ratio of the map is 1:1), since the texture is wrapped around the planet sphere horizontally around 360 degrees and vertically around 180 degrees.<br /> Necessarily, in order for the surface not to appear distorted, your '''pixel ratio''' of the generated texture must be 1.0, i.e. a circle must show as a circle when viewing the texture in an image viewer, on a monitor with square pixels.<br /> <br /> The vertical and horizontal sizes should be a '''power of two''' (POT).<br /> Really, NPOT (non-power-of-two) textures are possible, but really, really, really troublesome. Don't use them. Just use POT. Love the POT. The POT is the mother, the POT is the father. Trust the POT.<br /> <br /> That leaves few options:<br /> *1024x512<br /> *2048x1024<br /> *4096x2048<br /> *8192x4096<br /> <br /> Keeping original high resolution image (e.g. 8192x4096 or 4096x2048) versions in stock helps maintaining quality and scalability as game development progresses or typical screen resolutions rise in the future with better hardware available to the players.<br /> <br /> Most of the surface textures included in data have a horizontal resolution of 1024 or below. Committed textures are classified as:<br /> * DQ - Development Quality: textures with horizontal resolution of 1024 or below and low degree of realism<br /> * RQ - Release Quality: textures with horizontal resolution of 2048 or above and medium degree of realism<br /> * CQ - Cinematographic Quality: textures with horizontal resolution of 2048 or above and high degree of realism<br /> <br /> ===Image Properties===<br /> Naturally, the images should be '''seamless (tilable)''' so that seams are not visible on the rotating planet, neither on the stitch nor at the poles.<br /> <br /> 3d rendering software with unwrap functions is recommended, since it is extremely inefficient and troublesome to create seamless textures in 2d programs.<br /> <br /> ===Planet textures required===<br /> [source: klauss]<br /> *Diffuse color map (the actual planet texture)<br /> *Night map (with city lights); needs to have alpha channel for the transparent areas. Compression type must be DXT3. <br /> *Specular map as usual.<br /> *Cloudmap... not so usual. The cloudmap contains color in the color data - but base, unlit color. Until now, I couldn't find a case where the color portion of the texture wasn't uniform, so I might drop color &quot;texture&quot; for a uniform color &quot;parameter&quot; - but in any case, the texture contains the cloud's basic color in the color portion (fully white for earthish textures), and &quot;thickness&quot; in the alpha channel. What I did to create the current cloudmaps: transfer the color (grayscale) channel to the alpha channel, adjust its &quot;dynamic distribution&quot;, kind-of gamma correction, to avoid saturation of the alpha channel as much as possible (it looks bad), and filled the color channel with white. Thickness means that - the thickness of clouds. It indirectly translates to their height. All clouds are based on the same level (they usually are in reality, minus some exceptions), and grow upwards as much as the alpha channel tells it to.<br /> *Normalmap as usual (though normalmaps are presently not required, they aren't any different from unit normalmaps: RGB with normal data, Alpha with height data).<br /> <br /> ==Development Tools, Tutorials==<br /> <br /> ===GIMP===<br /> [[Links:Graphic_Applications#GIMP|GIMP - the GNU Image Manipulation Program]] is quite versatile; to work with texture files, you'll need DDS plugin (if it's not installed already).<br /> <br /> A good starting point for e.g. gas giant texture maps is the 'Solid Noise' filter.<br /> <br /> There is a way to make planetary twisters like Uranius or so, using the Gimp. First you must create the gas texture, and then apply the distort filter into Filters&gt;Distortions&gt;Deformation. Then set the deformation type to &quot;counterclockwise swirl&quot;, and the make one or two swirls. This will generate swirls at the surface.<br /> <br /> On the other hand, if you like a hurricane zone, for example [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Red_Spot Jupiter's Great Red Spot], you can do it very simply: first select a ecliptic small zone, which will be the future hurricane. Then apply the filter Filters&gt;Distortions&gt;Lens Crystal, and apply a bit crystal lens distortion. Then, deselect that selected zone, and apply Filters&gt;Distortions&gt;Deformation, and set the deformation to &quot;move&quot;, and move the left and right sides of the elliptical form a bit, just to make the effect of undercloud.<br /> <br /> ===POV-Ray===<br /> [Links:3D_Applications#POV-Ray|POV-Ray (Persistence of Vision Raytracer)] with its unique scripting approach and through a large base of available texture, pigment, and material functions provides almost unlimited possibilities to creating surface maps.<br /> <br /> Maps can be exported by using a spherical camera setting:<br /> ''camera {spherical angle 360}''<br /> <br /> ===Blender===<br /> [Links:3D_Applications#Blender|Blender 3D] <br /> <br /> Scripts for blender can be created using Python. No application of blender for creation of planet surfaces is known to us currently. Submissions are appreciated.<br /> <br /> ===Tutorials===<br /> Some great tutorials can be found at [http://www.solarvoyager.com/tutorials.asp Solar Voyager]. They are geared toward 3dsmax and Photoshop, but are general enough in scope that they could be easily adapted to GIMP and POV-Ray.<br /> <br /> ==Including and Testing==<br /> <br /> ===Systems Substitution Testing===<br /> <br /> In the .systems file of the systems where you saved the game (data/sectors/SectorName/), search for the planet that you want to test your texture on and replace the current texture in the 'file' statement with your texture, e.g.<br /> <br /> *Take: &lt;Planet name=&quot;Wiley&quot; file=&quot;planets/rock.texture&quot; ...&gt;<br /> *Replace with: &lt;Planet name=&quot;Wiley&quot; file=&quot;planets/rocky_wiley.texture&quot; ...&gt;<br /> <br /> Note: You can search in data dir using the command ''grep -R &quot;rock_water.texture&quot; sectors''<br /> <br /> Should your planet texture not be listed in the sector definition files, you can edit the system config file &quot;sectors/testsystems/planets.system&quot; to change your texture on one of the existing planets and then run Vega Strike with the planet test mission:<br /> <br /> ''./vegastrike test/planets.mission''<br /> <br /> ===Editing Systems===<br /> <br /> In some cases it is required to tweak the universe in order to add new textures.<br /> A very good HowTo explains the road to be taken here.<br /> * [[HowTo:Edit_Systems]] with<br /> ** [[HowTo:Edit_Systems:Milkyway]]<br /> ** [[HowTo:Edit_Systems:System_Files]]<br /> <br /> ==Selection and Vetting Process==<br /> <br /> ===Some Thoughts===<br /> While many textures are still with the DQ (development quality) status, it is important to quickly raise the quality of all textures to release status and beyond. In this stage, following the selection (or vetting) process might not be of the highest importance.<br /> However when replacing visually appealing textures or raising the overall quality to CQ (cinematographic) it is of advantage to share your decisions with the whole community. This is exactly the purpose of the selection and vetting process.<br /> <br /> Enthusiasm, the strong motivation to contribute his own work, see it published in a release, and be part of the community, often brings the danger along of falling into the pitfall and want to contribute and replace too many textures at the same time.<br /> The more advanced in quality and visual appeal the textures become the more important it becomes to create a very distinct and personal look to the particular texture or even planet, since the ultimate goal is to have an individual surface for each planet.<br /> <br /> Ultimately, nobody really knows how extra-solar planets look like but here are some references that might inspire you to create an individual, unique, and personal texture:<br /> * The planet name might give you some hints<br /> * The planet type says something about possible surface type<br /> * Analyze the essence of the existing texture in color, structure, area division<br /> * Inspire yourself by other works of art (paintings, computer generated art, astronomical sites, science-fiction movies)<br /> <br /> And of course, push your tools to their limits.<br /> <br /> Once you have chosen a replacement candidate and have one or more proposals...<br /> <br /> ===The Process===<br /> If you are not sure that your texture meets the basic requirements, then please open a forum topic posting your textures.<br /> Here's a summary of requirements:<br /> * Format: dds (with .texture extension)<br /> * Ratio (horizontal:vertical): 2:1<br /> * Size: following the POT rule (power-of-two)<br /> * Resolution: min 2048x1024<br /> * Tilable (seamless): horizontally and vertically<br /> * Quality: RQ or CQ<br /> <br /> If a texture that you have created meets the above described requirements, then:<br /> * Open a poll for a reasonable period of time (e.g. 2 weeks) and describe:<br /> ** which texture(s) you'd like to replace<br /> ** show which are the candidates<br /> ** describe briefly the method of creation<br /> ** If you'd like to replace more than one texture, describe how you would assign the favorites of the poll to the individual textures<br /> <br /> * After a set period of time<br /> ** announce the winners<br /> ** and call the poll closed<br /> <br /> * Then<br /> ** Submit the textures to svn (in case you have commit rights attributed), or<br /> ** through the forum ask a developer with write access to submit them (e.g. the maintainer of this page, [[User:pyramid|pyramid]]).<br /> <br /> ==Submission Process==<br /> <br /> ===Requirements===<br /> If you have svn commit access, then you will need nVidia's free texture tool nvcompress to transform your original textures to optimized dds textures.<br /> Get the tool here: [http://developer.nvidia.com/object/texture_tools.html NVIDIA Texture Tools]<br /> <br /> The following applies to NVIDIA texture tools version 0.9.4. More recent versions have not yet been tested.<br /> <br /> Due to a bug in handling 1 pixel mipmaps in the original version, you will be further required to patch the tools with safemode's patch.

Practically this means: systems aren't always generated anew when the player jumps back, thus this also means planned trade between the system is possible within this limit - profitable consumers won't mysteriously vanish while you're procuring goods for them. Both generated and copies of pre-defined systems are stored in vegastrike user data, under .../sectors/.

Practically this means: ships continue to exist and battles go on while the player doesn't look at them.<br /> * Inactive system time : Multiplier for the priority calculation (and therefore in the inactive systems refresh rate).

This option is suggested when game performance is slow.<br /> * '''My Sound Only''' - AI sound is deactivated; Only sound from you and your ship.<br /> * '''All Sound''' - AI sound is activated<br /> * '''My Linux Sound''' - AI sound is deactivated; Only sound from you and your ship.<br /> * '''All Linux Sound''' - AI sound is activated<br /> <br /> ===Music and Volume===<br /> The initial setting for your music volume. This setting can be adjusted ingame.<br /> * '''High Volume''' - To give you loud, dramatic music!<br /> * '''Medium Volume''' - For enjoying the music but without it being intrusive.<br /> * '''Low Volume''' - Suitable setting for having music playing in the background.<br /> * '''Music Off''' - Does not load soundserver to play music. This option is suggested when game performance is slow.<br /> <br /> ===Geometry===<br /> This selection determines the level of visual detail Vega Strike projects to your monitor. These settings affect smoothness and rounding of objects, font style and anti-aliasing, sun halos, maximum texture size capability and whether reflection capability is available.<br /> * '''Extreme Detail''' &lt;BR/&gt;Highest detailing available including full smoothing, halo, texturing and reflection capability available. Cockpits can be activated. Only high end video cards can operate at this setting without affecting performance.<br /> * '''Very High Detail''' &lt;BR/&gt;The main difference is a large reduction in the level of visual detail.<br /> * '''High Detail''' &lt;BR/&gt;Further reduction in visual detail, and reduced lighting capability.<br /> * '''Medium Detail''' &lt;BR/&gt;Visual detail reduced with nebula fog disabled.<br /> * '''Low Detail''' &lt;BR/&gt;Reduced visual detail with no background detailing (black only) and cockpits no longer available. All script is in reduced font size with no color differentiation. Light reflection is disabled with no haloing effects.<br /> * '''Retro Detail''' &lt;BR/&gt;Lowest detail with no texture usage (wireframe only).<br /> <br /> ===Textures===<br /> <br /> ===FactionTextures===<br /> <br /> Some units have optional textures with custom paint job, varying with faction.<br /> <br /> ===Shaders===<br /> <br /> ===Resolution===<br /> <br /> This selection sets the Video Resolution for Vega Strike to use. Please note the larger the resolution, the greater the processing power is needed.<br /> <br /> * '''512x384''' - {{Fixme}}<br /> * '''640x480''' - xxx<br /> * '''800x600''' - xxx<br /> * '''1024x768''' - xxx<br /> * '''1280x1024''' - xxx<br /> * '''1600x1200''' - xxx<br /> <br /> Only standard 4:3 resolutions are supported. Wide screens (3:2, 16:9, etc) will display stretched or pillarboxed depending on your local drivers. Multiple monitors are not supported.<br /> <br /> ===Color===<br /> This selection determines whether the game uses full 32 bit color or the more limited 16 bit color range. It also determines whether the game runs in full screen mode (uses your whole screen limited by your resolution setting) or is windowed (appears as a window in your monitor allowing access other programs).<br /> * '''32 bit Color Fullscreen''' - 32 bit color viewed in a full screen. Note that eMac users might not be able to use this setting.<br /> * '''16 bit Color Fullscreen''' - Reduced 16 bit color viewed in a full screen. Note that eMac users might not be able to use this setting.<br /> * '''32 bit Color Windowed''' - 32 bit color with the game viewed in a window.<br /> * '''16 bit Color Windowed''' - Reduced 16 bit color with the game viewed in a window.<br /> <br /> ===Mouse===<br /> ====Definitions====<br /> This selection determines your mouse control during flight operations. A mouse with multiple buttons default to the button selection below.<br /> <br /> * '''button 0''' = Fire Weapon<br /> * '''button 1''' = Fire Missile<br /> * '''button 2''' = Afterburner<br /> * '''button 3''' = Target (cycle all available targets)<br /> * '''button 4''' = Target (target nearest targeting reticule)<br /> * '''button 5''' = Deceleration (decrease speed)<br /> * '''button 6''' = Perform a Shelton Slide<br /> * '''button 7''' = Acceleration (increase speed)<br /> * '''button 8''' = Cycle through guns<br /> * '''button 9''' = Cycle through missiles<br /> <br /> ====Options====<br /> * '''Mouse Warping''' &lt;BR/&gt;&quot;Drag to Steer&quot;. Your craft turns in the direction of the mouse movement, but the turn only continues while you mouse moves. To continue a turn, you need to continue scrolling your mouse in the desired direction.<br /> * '''Inv Mouse Warp''' &lt;BR/&gt;Inverts the direction of &quot;Mouse Warping&quot;<br /> * '''Inv Mouse Glide''' &lt;BR/&gt;Inverts the up/down direction of &quot;Mouse Glide&quot;<br /> * '''Mouse Glide''' &lt;BR/&gt;Provides a 'ghost' targeting reticle that is movable around the screen. When moved away from center, your ship will turn in the direction of the reticle. Recenter reticle to cease turning. This option does not require mouse scrolling to continue a turn.<br /> * '''No Mouse''' &lt;BR/&gt;No mouse flight.<br /> <br /> ===Joystick===<br /> <br /> ====Definitions====<br /> This selection configures your joystick for flight control. Joysticks can also be programmed by directly editing the &lt;code&gt;vegastrike.config&lt;/code&gt; file recommended for advanced use only. Joysticks with multiple buttons default to the button selection below.<br /> <br /> * '''x axis''' = changes direction of pitch. Imagine holding your arms out sideways from your body and your hands holding on to something. You then swing your feet up and down. You are rotating on your arms (x axis).<br /> * '''y asis''' = changes direction of yaw. Imagine standing upright, then turning in place to the left or right.<br /> * '''z axis''' = changes direction of roll. Imagine standing upright, holding on to a pole above you running from forwards to backwards. You then swing from left to right. You are 'rolling' around the pole.<br /> * '''button 0''' = Fire Weapon<br /> * '''button 1''' = Afterburner<br /> * '''button 2''' = Fire Missile<br /> * '''button 3''' = Target (cycle all available targets)<br /> * '''button 4''' = Target (target nearest targeting reticle)<br /> * '''button 5''' = Deceleration (decrease speed)<br /> * '''button 6''' = Perform a Shelton Slide<br /> * '''button 7''' = Acceleration (increase speed)<br /> * '''button 8''' = Cycle through guns<br /> * '''button 9''' = Cycle through missiles<br /> <br /> ====Options====<br /> * '''No Joystick''' - No joystick flight enabled.<br /> * '''2 Axis Joystick''' Enables a standard 2 axis (x,y) joystick with two buttons (0,1).<br /> * '''2 Axis Joystick And Throttle''' - Enables movement in the x,y directions only. Currently, throttle control gives acceleration and deceleration, not speed control. Result: set speed is either maximum or zero.<br /> * '''3 Axis Joystick''' - Enables movement in all three directions.<br /> * '''3 Axis Joystick and Throttle''' - Enables movement in all three directions, plus the use of a throttle. Currently, throttle control gives acceleration and deceleration, not speed control. Result: set speed is either maximum or zero.<br /> * '''Joystick and Throttle Reversed''' - Reverses the setting of third axis and throttle.<br /> <br /> ===AcceleratedVisual===<br /> <br /> ===Autodocker===<br /> <br /> = See also =<br /> * See [[Manual:Config:Advanced|Advanced Configuration]] for information about editing the config file (vegastrike.config) directly.<br /> <br /> <br /> Considering changes in the development version, at least difficulty settings, performance settings and handling of old/inactive systems most likely will be overhauled by the next release.

Give it &lt;code&gt;ReflectNoLight=&quot;true&quot;&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;light=&quot;some_light_number&quot;&lt;/code&gt; to make it be a sun. The sun should have one of the textures inside the &lt;code&gt;stars/&lt;/code&gt; directory.<br /> * Inside that, maybe put another sun orbiting the first sun if the system is binary.<br /> * Add a bunch of planets, and add units or more planets around those. Planets' textures should be inside the &lt;code&gt;planets&lt;/code&gt; directory. You can also have a nebula or an asteroid field if you want.<br /> * Finally, close with the &lt;code&gt;&lt;/system&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tag.<br /> <br /> Note that for a completely circular orbit, make ri=sk, rj=sj and rk=si. &lt;ri,rj,rk&gt; Is the relative position to the planet when position=0. &lt;si,sj,sk&gt; is the relative position to the planet when position=1.57 (PI/2). Then make position 0 (normally) and set day to a fairly high number and year to be extremely high.<br /> <br /> ==Examples==<br /> <br /> * For a simple example, see the '''[http://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vegastrike/trunk/data/sectors/Crucible/Cephid_17.system?revision=HEAD&amp;view=markup Cephid_17.system]'''<br /> * For a more complex system, see '''[http://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vegastrike/trunk/data/sectors/Sol/Sol.system?revision=HEAD&amp;view=markup Sol.system]'''<br /> <br /> =See also= <br /> * [[HowTo:Edit Systems:Milkyway|Editing systems using Milky_way.XML]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:HowTos|Edit Systems]]<br /> [[Category:Development|Edit Systems]]</div>

Although you may think that using the &lt;code&gt;[http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/vegastrike/data4.x/universe/milky_way.xml?rev=HEAD&amp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup milky_way.xml]&lt;/code&gt; file is so much better for that reason, think about systems like Sol (&lt;code&gt;sol_sector/sol&lt;/code&gt;) where you want exact exactness to occur in the system file because adventurers who explore it will look at every detail that can not be perfected with even random numbers. I used this method for the starting system in the 3.x releases, &lt;code&gt;enigma_sector/heavens_gate.system&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> ==XML schema description==<br /> <br /> &lt;code&gt;&lt;'''system'''&gt; ... &lt;/system&gt;&lt;/code&gt; -- Marks the beginning and end of the XML file.<br /> * &lt;code&gt;name&lt;/code&gt; -- The name of the system. <br /> * &lt;code&gt;ScaleSystem&lt;/code&gt; - The scale of the system.<br /> {{fixme}}: ScaleSystem is an optional parameter, but this is not indicated.

Give it &lt;code&gt;ReflectNoLight=&quot;true&quot;&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;light=&quot;some_light_number&quot;&lt;/code&gt; to make it be a sun. The sun should have one of the textures inside the &lt;code&gt;stars/&lt;/code&gt; directory.<br /> * Inside that, maybe put another sun orbiting the first sun if the system is binary.<br /> * Add a bunch of planets, and add units or more planets around those. Planets' textures should be inside the &lt;code&gt;planets&lt;/code&gt; directory. You can also have a nebula or an asteroid field if you want.<br /> * Finally, close with the &lt;code&gt;&lt;/system&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tag.<br /> <br /> Note that for a completely circular orbit, make ri=sk, rj=sj and rk=si. &lt;ri,rj,rk&gt; Is the relative position to the planet when position=0. &lt;si,sj,sk&gt; is the relative position to the planet when position=1.57 (PI/2). Then make position 0 (normally) and set day to a fairly high number and year to be extremely high.<br /> <br /> ==Examples==<br /> <br /> * For a simple example, see the '''[http://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vegastrike/trunk/data/sectors/Crucible/Cephid_17.system?revision=HEAD&amp;view=markup Cephid_17.system]'''<br /> * For a more complex system, see '''[http://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vegastrike/trunk/data/sectors/Sol/Sol.system?revision=HEAD&amp;view=markup Sol.system]'''<br /> <br /> =See also= <br /> * [[HowTo:Edit Systems:Milkyway|Editing systems using Milky_way.XML]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:HowTos|Edit Systems]]<br /> [[Category:Development|Edit Systems]]</div>

<p>Tbeholder: </p> <hr /> <div>==Basic XML integration==<br /> First let me start by explaining how to run a python class... in this case we start with the prebuild &lt;code&gt;[http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/vegastrike/data4.x/modules/privateer.py?rev=HEAD&amp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup modules/privateer.py]&lt;/code&gt; script to run our mission. Open up &lt;code&gt;[http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/vegastrike/data4.x/mission/explore_universe.mission?rev=HEAD&amp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup mission/explore_universe.mission]&lt;/code&gt; First come the variables that designate how the mission should normally start. By normally I mean if they don't have any save game present.<br /> <br /> ===Variables Section===<br /> <br /> * '''continuousterrain''' [string]<br /> ** &quot;&quot; (default)<br /> * '''credits''' [float] - Starting money.<br /> ** 0 (default)<br /> * '''defaultplayer''' [string] - Team name. Doesn't seem to matter. {{fixme}}<br /> * '''description''' [string] - Description is used in scripts only, the engine doesn't read it.<br /> * '''difficulty''' [float] - Multiplier for lots of game parameters - e.g. &quot;Basic repair&quot; cost equals &lt;code&gt;[[Manual:Config:Advanced:Variables#.22physics.22_section|physics/repair_price]]&lt;/code&gt;*difficulty.<br /> ** In net games is set by server variable. Can be modified by scripts later. E.g. difficulty.py module provides a simple way to automatically vary it with PC's wealth (it only goes up, to 0.999) and in default campaign it maxes out at 400000 Cr.<br /> ** 1 (default)<br /> * '''num_players''' [int]<br /> ** 1 (default)<br /> * '''savegame''' [string] - The savegame makes the mission more of a campaign type mission where things may be saved to disk and reloaded at a later point.<br /> ** If no savegame variable is specified (this is where the autosave goes) then the mission will not save and will be a one time play mission. <br /> ** &quot;&quot; (default)<br /> * '''system''' [string] - Starting system. Can be overridden via savegame or scripts.<br /> ** &quot;sol.system&quot; and &quot;Sol/Sol&quot; (default) {{fixme}}<br /> * '''terrain''' [string]<br /> ** &quot;&quot; (default)<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> &lt;mission&gt;<br /> &lt;settings&gt;<br /> &lt;origin planet=&quot;earth&quot; x=&quot;0000&quot; y=&quot;100&quot; z=&quot;000.0&quot;/&gt;<br /> &lt;/settings&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;variables&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- &lt;var name=&quot;continuousterrain&quot; value=&quot;continuousterrain.txt&quot;/&gt;--&gt;<br /> &lt;var name=&quot;credits&quot; value=&quot;13500&quot;/&gt;<br /> &lt;var name=&quot;defaultplayer&quot; value=&quot;blue&quot;/&gt;<br /> &lt;var name=&quot;mission_name&quot; value=&quot;Privateer Mission&quot; /&gt;<br /> &lt;var name=&quot;difficulty&quot; value=&quot;.05&quot;/&gt;&lt;!--starting difficulty--&gt;<br /> &lt;var name=&quot;system&quot; value=&quot;Crucible/Cephid_17&quot; /&gt;<br /> &lt;var name=&quot;description&quot; value=&quot;Like, as if.&quot; /&gt;<br /> &lt;var name=&quot;savegame&quot; value=&quot;explore_universe_difficulty&quot; /&gt;<br /> &lt;/variables&gt;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> It loads &lt;code&gt;Crucible/Cephid_17.system&lt;/code&gt; as the star system (which is in XML and stores all present planets) After this, comes the actors in the mission, the flightgroups of fighters. If a mission has more than one player, then each player is the leader (first ship) in each respective flightgroup.<br /> <br /> Notice that so far there are a lot of values you don't see for long in the default vegastrike game. Credits, System, first flightgroup fighter, difficulty--these are all initial values but can change.... since there is specified a savegame.<br /> <br /> ===Flightgroup Section===<br /> <br /> * &lt;code&gt;flightgroup&lt;/code&gt;<br /> ** '''name''' [string] [needed] - The displayed name.<br /> ** '''logo''' [string]<br /> ** '''logo_alpha''' [string]<br /> ** '''faction''' [string] [needed]<br /> ** '''type''' [string] [needed] - Unit type.<br /> *** &quot;hornet.xunit&quot; (default) {{fixme}}<br /> ** '''ainame''' [string] [needed] - AI to use.<br /> *** Much like &lt;code&gt;data/ai/VegaEvents.csv&lt;/code&gt;: it refers to &lt;code&gt;data/ai/events/'''ainame'''.*.xml&lt;/code&gt; AI files, ''not'' .xai scripts directly.<br /> *** &quot;_ainame&quot; - {{fixme}} Seems to use Python AI module.<br /> ** '''waves''' [int] [needed] - Number of waves. The next one will be launched only after its predecessor is completely eliminated.<br /> ** '''nr_ships''' [int] [needed] - Ships per wave.<br /> ** '''terrain_nr'''<br /> *** &quot;&quot;; &quot;mission&quot;<br /> ** '''unit_type'''<br /> *** &quot;&quot; (default) ='''unit'''; &quot;vehicle&quot;; &quot;building&quot;<br /> * &lt;code&gt;pos&lt;/code&gt; [double] [needed], &lt;code&gt;rot&lt;/code&gt; [float] - Coordinates and orientation.<br /> ** '''x''', '''y''', '''z''' [float] [needed]<br /> * &lt;code&gt;order&lt;/code&gt; - Scripted orders for the flightgroup. Seems to be read, but not actually parsed currently. {{fixme}} Flightgroups spawn with &quot;fire at will&quot; directive and then start acting as their AI setups and AI priorities suggest.<br /> ** '''order''' [needed]<br /> ** '''target''' [needed] - The name of target flightgroup.<br /> ** '''priority''' - Seems not to be used at all. {{fixme}}<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> &lt;flightgroups&gt;<br /> &lt;flightgroup name=&quot;Shlimazel&quot; faction=&quot;privateer&quot; type=&quot;llama.begin&quot;<br /> ainame=&quot;default&quot; waves=&quot;1&quot; nr_ships=&quot;1&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;pos x=&quot;-95124024.543917&quot; y=&quot;412089916.256812&quot; <br /> z=&quot;-110779667.398050&quot;/&gt; <br /> &lt;rot x=&quot;180.0&quot; y=&quot;180.0&quot; z=&quot;180.0&quot;/&gt;<br /> &lt;order order=&quot;tmptarget&quot; target=&quot;omikron&quot;/&gt;<br /> &lt;order priority=&quot;0&quot; order=&quot;superiority&quot; target=&quot;enemy&quot;/&gt;<br /> &lt;order priority=&quot;1&quot; order=&quot;bomber&quot; target=&quot;omikron&quot;/&gt;<br /> &lt;order priority=&quot;2&quot; order=&quot;escort&quot; target=&quot;blue&quot;/&gt;<br /> &lt;/flightgroup&gt;<br /> &lt;/flightgroups&gt;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> The &lt;code&gt;rot&lt;/code&gt; flag is ignored, and the position specifies the &lt;code&gt;x,y,z&lt;/code&gt; coords of the Shlimazel flightgroup, which is of type &lt;code&gt;llama.begin&lt;/code&gt;. <br /> <br /> ===Python Section===<br /> Future note: If you wanted to add a campaign to the privateer mission you would most likely modify &lt;code&gt;privateer.py&lt;/code&gt; to have a campaign module get loaded.... so you wouldn't necessarily need to modify &lt;code&gt;explore_universe.mission&lt;/code&gt; just to add a campaign... lets dig further into the meat of the scripting.<br /> <br /> If a mission has python tags...then it is a python mission and may have some embedded python in it. In this case the python makes a new python object of type privateer in the &lt;code&gt;[http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/vegastrike/data4.x/modules/privateer.py?rev=HEAD&amp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup privateer.py]&lt;/code&gt; module in the &lt;code&gt;[http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/vegastrike/data4.x/modules/ modules]&lt;/code&gt; directory.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> &lt;python&gt;<br /> from privateer import privateer<br /> my_obj=privateer(8000,40000,500,3,2,.6,.25,.1,400000,2000)<br /> &lt;/python&gt;<br /> &lt;/mission&gt;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> You have to be careful about newlines, etc in the XML, but it should usually work just dandy. You notice that the mission may pass in arguments to the privateer module that can make slight changes in the gameplay. This allows many cargo missions to use the same module in order to change the parameters of the cargo missions. In this case the values I have selected appear to work relatively well.<br /> <br /> Note: Python code must be on a line by itself without any indentations--it needs to work exactly as it would if you had the contents in a python file itself. If you want the indents to work in-line with the XML file, you must prefix it with a block, such as an if statement:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> &lt;python&gt;if 1:<br /> from privateer import privateer<br /> my_obj=privateer(8000,40000,500,3,2,.6,.25,.1,400000,2000)<br /> &lt;/python&gt;<br /> &lt;/mission&gt;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:HowTos|Edit Missions:XML integration]]<br /> [[Category:Development|Edit Missions:XML integration]]</div>

If this file is not found, this &quot;missile&quot; is launched as an interceptor unit instead.<br /> <br /> &lt;code&gt;'''Role'''&lt;/code&gt; as described above may be used to prevent attempts to waste a heavy missile or bomb on targets both fast and unworthy, like missiles or interceptors. Generally it's a good idea to set the weapon corresponding to the missile's role behaviour set in &lt;code&gt;data/ai/VegaPriorities.csv&lt;/code&gt; - then if it won't hunt the unit, AI won't launch it at this unit in the first place. If roles are pre-filtered correctly, &lt;code&gt;[[Manual:Config:Advanced:Variables#.22AI.22_section|AI]]/Firing/MissileProbability&lt;/code&gt; may be set higher as NPC will not be inclined to waste missiles early on.<br /> <br /> ==Example 1: Beam Weapon==<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> &lt;Beam name=&quot;LR_PminusBeamMKIV&quot; mountsize=&quot;capship-heavy&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;Energy rate=&quot;1500&quot; stability=&quot;8&quot; refire=&quot;2&quot; /&gt; <br /> &lt;Damage rate=&quot;15000&quot; longrange=&quot;.8&quot; /&gt; <br /> &lt;Distance speed=&quot;300000&quot; radialspeed=&quot;60&quot; radius=&quot;60&quot; length=&quot;8&quot; pulsespeed=&quot;36&quot; range=&quot;150000&quot; /&gt; <br /> &lt;Appearance file=&quot;weapons/heavylaserbeam.png&quot; soundwav=&quot;beam1.wav&quot; r=&quot;.6&quot; g=&quot;.1&quot; b=&quot;.8&quot; a=&quot;.6&quot; /&gt; <br /> &lt;/Beam&gt;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Example 2: Spinning Weapon==<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> You can make it spin as well by making it an accessory of the missile/weapon:<br /> * You make it a subunit (turret) at the center, which has the word &lt;code&gt;accessory&lt;/code&gt; in its name (e.g call it torpedo_accessory) <br /> * Set the &lt;code&gt;max_yaw&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;max_pitch&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;max_roll&lt;/code&gt; to whatever you want it to spin at.<br /> * Make an invisible (or e.g torpedo casing) main body.<br /> <br /> =Creating a weapon upgrade=<br /> [[prestidigitator]] documented his steps to create new weapons in a [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=8732 forum post]. Here's the part that isn't obsolete yet:<br /> ----<br /> Here is what I have done:<br /> # '''weapon_list.xml''': Copied the entire &lt;Beam name=&quot;LaserBeam' ...&gt; node to the end of the file (just before the &lt;/WEAPONS&gt; end tag), changed the name from &quot;LaserBeam&quot; to &quot;MyLaserBeam&quot;, and modified the values to be what I wanted (I left the &quot;mountsize&quot; attribute as &quot;light&quot;).<br /> # '''master_part_list.csv''': Copied the line starting with &quot;laser_beam&quot; to the end of the file and changed &quot;laser_beam&quot; to &quot;my_laser_beam&quot;.<br /> # '''units/units.csv''': Copied the line starting with &quot;laser_beam__upgrades&quot; to the end of the file, changed &quot;laser_beam__upgrades&quot; to &quot;my_laser_beam__upgrades&quot;, changed &quot;./factions/upgrades/laser_beam&quot; to &quot;./factions/upgrades/my_laser_beam&quot;, changed the second &quot;laser_beam&quot; to &quot;my_laser_beam&quot;, and finally changed the &quot;LaserBeam&quot; to &quot;MyLaserBeam&quot;.<br /> [...]<br /> There's an ordering problem. I moved all the additions to immediately after those entries for the laser beam, and it worked.<br /> So, I guess if you are trying to do this, consider my steps above to be a mini-HowTo, with the caveat that you should be careful about WHERE in the files you add things.<br /> ----<br /> After CSV split ([https://sourceforge.net/p/vegastrike/code/13666/ [r13666]]), weapon effect parameters still are in data/'''weapon_list.xml''', but upgrade stats are in data/units/'''weapons.csv''' and trade in data/parts/'''trade_equipment.csv'''; add a line with picture in data/units/'''units_description.csv''' like ones for existing weapons, and everything should be covered.<br /> <br /> # To have a custom mount model (visible when enabled by &lt;code&gt;[[Manual:Config:Advanced:Variables#.22graphics.22_section|graphics]]/'''draw_weapons'''&lt;/code&gt; config variable), add it as mounts/mylaserbeam.bfxm (lower case) - this works exactly the same way as with ships and subunits (including [[HowTo:Add_LODs|LODs]]). It's a good idea to check the model's size on the smallest ship able to carry it and check the muzzle of a weapon other than beam by setting the speed very low.<br /> <br /> =See also=<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> {{NAV_Manual |<br /> | previous=[[HowTo:MOD|MOD]]<br /> | up=[[HowTos]]<br /> | next=[[HowTo:Add Upgrades|Add Upgrades]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Category:HowTos|Making Weapons]]<br /> [[Category:Development|Making Weapons]]</div>

Generally it's a good idea to set the weapon corresponding to the missile's role behaviour set in &lt;code&gt;data/ai/VegaPriorities.csv&lt;/code&gt; - then if it won't hunt the unit, AI won't launch it at this unit in the first place. If roles are pre-filtered correctly, &lt;code&gt;[[Manual:Config:Advanced:Variables#.22AI.22_section|AI]]/Firing/MissileProbability&lt;/code&gt; may be set higher as NPC will not be inclined to waste missiles early on.<br /> <br /> ==Example 1: Beam Weapon==<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> &lt;Beam name=&quot;LR_PminusBeamMKIV&quot; mountsize=&quot;capship-heavy&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;Energy rate=&quot;1500&quot; stability=&quot;8&quot; refire=&quot;2&quot; /&gt; <br /> &lt;Damage rate=&quot;15000&quot; longrange=&quot;.8&quot; /&gt; <br /> &lt;Distance speed=&quot;300000&quot; radialspeed=&quot;60&quot; radius=&quot;60&quot; length=&quot;8&quot; pulsespeed=&quot;36&quot; range=&quot;150000&quot; /&gt; <br /> &lt;Appearance file=&quot;weapons/heavylaserbeam.png&quot; soundwav=&quot;beam1.wav&quot; r=&quot;.6&quot; g=&quot;.1&quot; b=&quot;.8&quot; a=&quot;.6&quot; /&gt; <br /> &lt;/Beam&gt;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Example 2: Spinning Weapon==<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> You can make it spin as well by making it an accessory of the missile/weapon:<br /> * You make it a subunit (turret) at the center, which has the word &lt;code&gt;accessory&lt;/code&gt; in its name (e.g call it torpedo_accessory) <br /> * Set the &lt;code&gt;max_yaw&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;max_pitch&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;max_roll&lt;/code&gt; to whatever you want it to spin at.<br /> * Make an invisible (or e.g torpedo casing) main body.<br /> <br /> =Creating a weapon upgrade=<br /> [[prestidigitator]] documented his steps to create new weapons in a [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=8732 forum post]. Here's the part that isn't obsolete yet:<br /> ----<br /> Here is what I have done:<br /> # '''weapon_list.xml''': Copied the entire &lt;Beam name=&quot;LaserBeam' ...&gt; node to the end of the file (just before the &lt;/WEAPONS&gt; end tag), changed the name from &quot;LaserBeam&quot; to &quot;MyLaserBeam&quot;, and modified the values to be what I wanted (I left the &quot;mountsize&quot; attribute as &quot;light&quot;).<br /> # '''master_part_list.csv''': Copied the line starting with &quot;laser_beam&quot; to the end of the file and changed &quot;laser_beam&quot; to &quot;my_laser_beam&quot;.<br /> # '''units/units.csv''': Copied the line starting with &quot;laser_beam__upgrades&quot; to the end of the file, changed &quot;laser_beam__upgrades&quot; to &quot;my_laser_beam__upgrades&quot;, changed &quot;./factions/upgrades/laser_beam&quot; to &quot;./factions/upgrades/my_laser_beam&quot;, changed the second &quot;laser_beam&quot; to &quot;my_laser_beam&quot;, and finally changed the &quot;LaserBeam&quot; to &quot;MyLaserBeam&quot;.<br /> [...]<br /> There's an ordering problem. I moved all the additions to immediately after those entries for the laser beam, and it worked.<br /> So, I guess if you are trying to do this, consider my steps above to be a mini-HowTo, with the caveat that you should be careful about WHERE in the files you add things.<br /> ----<br /> After CSV split ([https://sourceforge.net/p/vegastrike/code/13666/ [r13666]]), weapon effect parameters still are in data/'''weapon_list.xml''', but upgrade stats are in data/units/'''weapons.csv''' and trade in data/parts/'''trade_equipment.csv'''; add a line with picture in data/units/'''units_description.csv''' like ones for existing weapons, and everything should be covered.<br /> <br /> # To have a custom mount model (visible when enabled by &lt;code&gt;[[Manual:Config:Advanced:Variables#.22graphics.22_section|graphics]]/'''draw_weapons'''&lt;/code&gt; config variable), add it as mounts/mylaserbeam.bfxm (lower case) - this works exactly the same way as with ships and subunits (including [[HowTo:Add_LODs|LODs]]). It's a good idea to check the model's size on the smallest ship able to carry it and check the muzzle of a weapon other than beam by setting the speed very low.<br /> <br /> =See also=<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> {{NAV_Manual |<br /> | previous=[[HowTo:MOD|MOD]]<br /> | up=[[HowTos]]<br /> | next=[[HowTo:Add Upgrades|Add Upgrades]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Category:HowTos|Making Weapons]]<br /> [[Category:Development|Making Weapons]]</div>

First of all, you have to know that the resolution of the image is absolutely irrelevant, as Vega Strike works with relative coordinates and scaling, with (0,0) being the center of the screen. Imagine a picture of exactly one red pixel (1x1) in size, with &lt;code&gt;scaleX=scaleY=1&lt;/code&gt; ,&lt;code&gt;positionX=positionY=0&lt;/code&gt;. The result is a red square, whose center is on the center of the screen. It fills the left, the right, the upper and the lower half of the screen. &lt;code&gt;scaleX=scaleY=2&lt;/code&gt; would make it exactly fullscreen. The same applies to &lt;code&gt;positionX&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;positionY&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;code&gt;PositonY=-1&lt;/code&gt; would start drawing it on the lower half from the center of the screen, whereas &lt;code&gt;PositionY=2&lt;/code&gt; would completely draw it offscreen.<br /> <br /> One note regarding negative values in &lt;code&gt;scaleX&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;scaleY&lt;/code&gt; : Vega Strike flips the sprite on that axis, but in the case of gauges like Blasterpower will also start decreasing it flipped (not from the right, but from the left).<br /> <br /> =See also=<br /> * Related forum topics/threads<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4143 &lt;nowiki&gt;[Question/Request] Animated sprites and gauges&lt;/nowiki&gt;]<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4150 HUD Stuff]<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4137 Press Q To Quit]<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=10406 Disabled cockpit HUD shields and armor]<br /> ----<br /> {{NAV_Manual |<br /> | previous=[[HowTo:Edit Unit Files|Editing Unit Files]]<br /> | up=[[HowTos]]<br /> | next=[[HowTo:Create Cockpit in Wings3d|Create a Cockpit in Wings3d]]<br /> }}<br /> [[Category:HowTos|Edit HUDs]]</div>

It must either be a greyscale &lt;code&gt;.bmp&lt;/code&gt;, or a &lt;code&gt;.png&lt;/code&gt; (where the png's alpha map is used), even if you are using the alpha-map from the first png, it must also be listed here as the source of the alphamap! <br /> * &lt;code&gt;scaleX&lt;/code&gt; - Scales the image on the X-Axis (1 = Fullsize, 0.5 = Halfsize, 2 = Doublesize etc) <br /> * &lt;code&gt;scaleY&lt;/code&gt; - Scales the image on the Y-Axis (see scaleX) <br /> * &lt;code&gt;positionX&lt;/code&gt; - Start drawing the image on a relative position specified by positionX <br /> * &lt;code&gt;positionY&lt;/code&gt; - Start drawing the image on a relative position specified by positionY <br /> <br /> The last four options require some explanation on how Vega Strike 4.01 draws its sprites. First of all, you have to know that the resolution of the image is absolutely irrelevant, as Vega Strike works with relative coordinates and scaling, with (0,0) being the center of the screen. Imagine a picture of exactly one red pixel (1x1) in size, with &lt;code&gt;scaleX=scaleY=1&lt;/code&gt; ,&lt;code&gt;positionX=positionY=0&lt;/code&gt;. The result is a red square, whose center is on the center of the screen. It fills the left, the right, the upper and the lower half of the screen. &lt;code&gt;scaleX=scaleY=2&lt;/code&gt; would make it exactly fullscreen. The same applies to &lt;code&gt;positionX&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;positionY&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;code&gt;PositonY=-1&lt;/code&gt; would start drawing it on the lower half from the center of the screen, whereas &lt;code&gt;PositionY=2&lt;/code&gt; would completely draw it offscreen.<br /> <br /> One note regarding negative values in &lt;code&gt;scaleX&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;scaleY&lt;/code&gt; : Vega Strike flips the sprite on that axis, but in the case of gauges like Blasterpower will also start decreasing it flipped (not from the right, but from the left).<br /> <br /> =See also=<br /> * Related forum topics/threads<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4143 &lt;nowiki&gt;[Question/Request] Animated sprites and gauges&lt;/nowiki&gt;]<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4150 HUD Stuff]<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4137 Press Q To Quit]<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=10406 Disabled cockpit HUD shields and armor]<br /> ----<br /> {{NAV_Manual |<br /> | previous=[[HowTo:Edit Unit Files|Editing Unit Files]]<br /> | up=[[HowTos]]<br /> | next=[[HowTo:Create Cockpit in Wings3d|Create a Cockpit in Wings3d]]<br /> }}<br /> [[Category:HowTos|Edit HUDs]]</div>

It must either be a greyscale &lt;code&gt;.bmp&lt;/code&gt;, or a &lt;code&gt;.png&lt;/code&gt; (where the png's alpha map is used), even if you are using the alpha-map from the first png, it must also be listed here as the source of the alphamap! <br /> * &lt;code&gt;scaleX&lt;/code&gt; - Scales the image on the X-Axis (1 = Fullsize, 0.5 = Halfsize, 2 = Doublesize etc) <br /> * &lt;code&gt;scaleY&lt;/code&gt; - Scales the image on the Y-Axis (see scaleX) <br /> * &lt;code&gt;positionX&lt;/code&gt; - Start drawing the image on a relative position specified by positionX <br /> * &lt;code&gt;positionY&lt;/code&gt; - Start drawing the image on a relative position specified by positionY <br /> <br /> The last four options require some explanation on how Vega Strike 4.01 draws its sprites. First of all, you have to know that the resolution of the image is absolutely irrelevant, as Vega Strike works with relative coordinates and scaling, with (0,0) being the center of the screen. Imagine a picture of exactly one red pixel (1x1) in size, with &lt;code&gt;scaleX=scaleY=1&lt;/code&gt; ,&lt;code&gt;positionX=positionY=0&lt;/code&gt;. The result is a red square, whose center is on the center of the screen. It fills the left, the right, the upper and the lower half of the screen. &lt;code&gt;scaleX=scaleY=2&lt;/code&gt; would make it exactly fullscreen. The same applies to &lt;code&gt;positionX&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;positionY&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;code&gt;PositonY=-1&lt;/code&gt; would start drawing it on the lower half from the center of the screen, whereas &lt;code&gt;PositionY=2&lt;/code&gt; would completely draw it offscreen.<br /> <br /> One note regarding negative values in &lt;code&gt;scaleX&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;scaleY&lt;/code&gt; : Vega Strike flips the sprite on that axis, but in the case of gauges like Blasterpower will also start decreasing it flipped (not from the right, but from the left).<br /> <br /> =See also=<br /> * Related forum topics/threads<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4143 &lt;nowiki&gt;[Question/Request] Animated sprites and gauges&lt;/nowiki&gt;]<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4150 HUD Stuff]<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=4137 Press Q To Quit]<br /> ** [http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?t=10406 Disabled cockpit HUD shields and armor]<br /> ----<br /> {{NAV_Manual |<br /> | previous=[[HowTo:Edit Unit Files|Editing Unit Files]]<br /> | up=[[HowTos]]<br /> | next=[[HowTo:Create Cockpit in Wings3d|Create a Cockpit in Wings3d]]<br /> }}<br /> [[Category:HowTos|Edit HUDs]]</div>
