I dont know why I, or any of us, bother...

Cos the engine is horrible.

JK that is.

I figured out that by creating far away polygons 1st, and create more as you get closer to the player, that such things as translucency clipping and glitches with transparent edges in textures stopped.


I rejoiced!!!

But then when I introduced it into my levels, it doesn't *always* work. Sometimes it works well, other times, no change to the usual errors.

But at least we can achieve some measure of graphical improvement.

More on that later.

Anyways, heres what I've been working on...

I seriously did a double take on the pic with the server room and the lamp. I thought it was a real image, like a reference shot, at first.

Only thing that could use improvement is the lighting effects in the last picture. Or maybe it looks better it motion.

Everything else == <3!!! :D

like the rings, but you should work on the floor around where the rings are (maybe you said something about it not being finished in your post, frankly I am too lazy to go an look) but there are some light errors, and the fact that the rings are so ROUND, it make the 8 sided hole int he floor look... wrong.. other then that.. AWESOME job

you wont be able to see the hexagon hole in teh floor when i'm done, it'll have a metal structure to house the rings.

I think the "far away mountain" is trying to give you a hint to make rocks that don't attach to your sky-ceiling.

Rings can come from where ever the platform that houses them is, sometimes it's in the roof, some times it's in the ground, sometimes it's both with the rings meeting in the middle.

In the movie they used 6 rings, but for the show they use five.

Rings can be embedded in the floor OR ceiling (scout ships have to have two sets I think... at any rate they come out of the floor of the cargo compartment as well as the bottom of the hull), and there are always five, as far as I remember.

What happened to all those instances where Grismath or someone was at least about to upload the remaining files of the project? At least some of us would get a kick out of it.

I always planned to release whatever I had made anyhow if I hadn't finished it by Dec 31st 2009. I actually did it with Anonymous and I'll do it again with DXNihilum if things don't go as planned.

I guess there's the whole "people taking stuff out of it and not giving credit" but that's the risk with everything.

A shame, but I'm not blaming clan_ruthervain since at least he's got a snazzy real gaming career going on. It would have been neat to play the best looking SITH Engine project ever. Thus leaving BSR's Star Trek to take the title (even if that wasn't finished but at least the files were released!).

I hit 'read last unread post' and it brought me somewhere into 2006.

It was also the 2nd post :P

5 Years ago and it still amazes me. :omg:

However, WoW is a lot more fun than banging your head on the wall because the SITH engine has so much potential with cog script, but you just can't quite get it to do what you've imagined it doing because there's always some nuance in the engine itself. RIP all my projects.

True story.
