LOAF, I meant the talking heads Delance mentioned. they were made pixel by pixel in wc1, wc2, Priv1, RF and Strike Commander, not scanned or rendered. so were little animations of bar patrons in Privateer. now, 15 years later, it's still impossible to do such things in lo-res (on GBA and DS, for...

nope, it's high quality pixel art.

hilarious! just please don't include bodyparts in the noun list, or we won't survive "the excited that" and "the cruel this"...

got an idea: java gameplay in a browser. there are dos virtual machines for java (JPC can even run VGA titles), so it must be quite possible. it saves the player from downloading, installing and task switching between his browser and the game; and it makes for a good netplay platform, if you...

done, all names fixed/replaced. there should be two messages from Crius.net in your inbox; please send me your direct e-mail address if something goes wrong with the delivery.

please resend: that address was no longer operational, but now I've replaced it with a working one. sorry for the inconvenience

Kyznetsov doesn't sound right... he's probably not Ky- but Kuznetsov. funny thing, I have an uncle by the name of Grigory Kuznetsov :) if there are some more Russian names in your name generation system, maybe I could proofread them - just in case there's more mistypes.

merchant: join a cargo caravan of several ships (essentially like escort, but with cargo on board and necessary docking in the end) mercenary or private: search and rescue of an ejected pilot or cargo in one of several nav points torpedo a cap ship join a raid (essentially a sweep of hostile...

a glimpse of your Dralthi, please :) and if it's not too much trouble, I'd love to see a modular space station with several attachments (if you have the in-game version of it ready). it's a magnificent piece of work.

cool displays! can't say I care for the lower row (the higher looks more inspired, despite being inferior tech). but overall, they look authentic and resemble their respective hardware. awesome. somehow you never make mistakes :)

it's been a while since I last used Thrustmapper; if there is an option to make an axis return keystrokes in defined zones (like in Saitek mapping software) then you can make your throttle return + when up and - when down. it's a lot less intuitive than real throttle control... but still much...

I may be of (some) help with the characters. I more or less specialize in that; although mainly I don't do the 3D jobs myself, having some modellers and animators working with me... but I still can spot mistakes and solve problems related to character design and animation. Howard, I can send you...

yup, it'd be reasonable to add a divider ring to the models in the middle and lower row. aside from that, the only thing I'm not happy with is this bunch of bright little triangles in the middle down and right down displays: they don't seem functional in any way, fracture the overall view and...

something tells me you'll see Arena a bit sooner :)

good point. famous Russian explorers are... er. Yermak - the conqueror of Siberia (XVI century) Kolchak - counter-admiral, brave explorer, leader of several unprecedented sea expeditions and brilliant tactician. received the great golden Constantine medal of Russian Geographic society in...

as far as I understand, there's nothing wrong with the Russian topic, as long as we're dicsussing possible names and not the ones already rejected :) so... let me be your guide through the existing star system names; maybe it'll help further understand the principles applied and thus...

Russia is funny that way, yup :) anyway, we're steering the only thread on Priv: Ascii Sector completely off topic, since it's already been decided that there will be nothing named Gagarin there :)

actually we use the method for skyboxes and even models in our current Nintendo DS project (unannounced yet). there's severe limitations on DS texture memory, and it doesn't know how to interpolate bitmaps, so vector colours are the only way to make perfectly smooth transitions. we've got the...

well, the place itself is called Volgograd now, and usually when the name Stalingrad is used it's connected only to the battle. anyway, probably the name wasn't a good idea. Gagarin's name means a lot for Russians (much more people here can remember who he was than who Washington was, with all...

I suppose I liked Morningstar more... but probably I's just because I suck with the Sabre :) its shields get chewed through in no time, and usually I've got no rear armour after the first encounter with anything more than two Sartha. really, I feel safer in anything else save the Epee: in the...
