Hmm, what happens if you don't run as administrator? Also, please create an account, that way we know who we're talking to.

So yes, the AI is needing improvement, this is known. See, with the keyboard, a press turns you 100% of your available turning speed. With a joystick, if you only move the move joystick 50% to the right, you'll only turn at 50% of your turning speed. So if you want to turn faster, you've...

OK, so if FC 1.5 works fine for you , then it's likely a problem with the mod. Maybe the mod isn't compatible with FC 1.5, I think it was written to FC 1.4, maybe you can try that.

Hmm. What are your usual screen dimensions? The Flight Commander menus run at exactly 640x480. Also, to help eliminate problems, can you run Flight Commander 1.5 ok by itself?

Correct, there is no AI for controlling turrets yet. It's on my todo list.

First welcome, feel free to ask questions here. I've posted a new little writeup on turrets here http://flightcommander.solsector.net/shipeddoc.htm hopefully that helps. But typically, when converting existing wc ships, the turret info is extract for you automatically. The rotation matrix...

Maybe, if you made a separate room for each promotion. I won't be changing the killboard, but you're welcome to try your ideas out.

Look at the midway's ship.xml file, you'll see the components and turrets are attached there. Turrets can have any weapon. You can use any mesh and any blaster you like.

Right now, you can't move them, sorry.

I think it'd be fun if someone here did interviews with fan projects, and wrote up some articles.

I suppose so, but you'll have to add checks to see if a nav was visited before.

I've got a nice mic already, I'll sign up for voice acting. But maybe just a pilot, I don't think I have time to devote to a main character.

Not directly, but it might be helpful in laying out the nav points. It's actually much harder to work in 3d, and I'd rather put the development effort into making the game better. But hey, you're all welcome to make a 3d editor.

Here it is (and its license is included in there as well) http://flightcommander.solsector.net/missionedsrc.zip

You can enable/disable which navs a player can visit at any time. Basically, to use the change nav point functionality, scripting is required.

Hehe, while it's useful for doing basic placement, and getting locations, I think the consensus on the boards is that you really do need to write a script for the more interesting missions. But if anyone wants the source code to make a vision engine editor, they're welcome to it.

Here's some shots of the new mission editor. It adds the ability to place nav points.

There's some amount of overlap, and it might be possible from using a FPS engine. But as a programmer, I'd want to optimize the algorithms and data structures. AI and collision detection depend quite a bit on the environment you are in.

Technical details sound great to me.
