A more Wing Commander explanation would be that when you press that button, you close your ramscoops and thus have no more drag (you would also not be gathering any more fuel, but that isn't simulated at the moment)

Works here on Debian Sarge. SDL in sarge is up to 1.2.8, you might update. The missing graphics files are also not a problem. When the game loads a ship, it looks for graphics files for the faction the ship belongs to. If none exist, it uses the standard files. This is useful for ships...

Those look great. Models like that could potentially someday be used in the purchase screen. Would be cool to have 3d rotating models there like I remember frmo the old Privateer2 site. They could also be used on the ships eventually, though hopefully there are LOD meshes. Loading 5 of...

If you were playing an unpatched game you wouldn't be having that problem. Newer versions of the patch will supposedly be changed to avoid the issue. You have to understand: the game is stable, the patch is barely alpha.

I've always been a big fan of wings3d. Fairly easy to get used to, and the price is right :) It was used for a lot of the ships in our project (there is an exported for the format we use, among other formats)

I have a pretty high res scan of the original CD that I'll probably use for my personal CD :) I don't really need one, but it would be fun to have, along with my printed manual (neither of these exist yet)

There were times when I never saw myself

LOL I was going to reply and say there are some other changes we don't want to reveal just yet, but looks like you just went and did it. Cookie to the first screenshot of the chickenfish

the Privateer Remake install manual: Run the .exe If you install a bunch of other stuff, it isn't exactly the Remake anymore, you'd need a Not Quite Privateer Remake install manual.

1: opinion. 2: incentive to buy a ship with a larger viewable area. 3: Unless it's some neural interface, I see nothing wrong with a screen and some buttons. 4: opinion. I like the feeling of actually sitting in a cockpit. And let us not forget 5: without them it wouldn't be Privateer...

:) this is simply because there is no jump to agea entity in the Freya.system file. Adding a jump node in one system doesn't automatically add an equivalent node in the other system. It's an easy fix at least. That screenshot of yours is amazing. The fleet of broadswords looks rather...

The mining base model looks sweet. So does the mercenaries guild render. Textures are all quite nice. Models are easiest for us to use when they are .obj. Texture size should be a power of two. 1024x1024, 128x256, etc. The preferred texture format is .png, as it is lossless so we can...

I've got Mandrake 9.1 on this machine as one distro among many. I'll boot into it sometime and test things out.

Having reflections like that is a config option, and one I do not choose to have. It appears JKeefe really likes them though hehe. Just keep in mind, you don't have to see effects like that if you don't want to. Shape of the bolts is a matter of taste I suppose :) They can't change for the...

*sigh of relief* Just in time for me to study for my midterms

sheesh.. enjoy the game as it is for a day. With the patch it is no longer Privateer, but WCU: a game very much still in development

Pliers, the size on the landing pad has nothing to do with how big the ship is. You can change the sizes, but the Galaxy is already bigger than the tarsus, looka t them side by side in space. All ships are shown approximately the same size on the landing pad, sorry.

The problem is indeed with the mesher. WCU is using models in .obj format now, which the mesher converts on the fly to Vegastrike's internal format. This is all well and good, but the mesher has problems staying in the background. A better version of the mesher would fix it. Sure, WCU...

There's always cygwin. Though there's not many people I would wish that on. (cygwin is cool, compiling VS on it, less so)

He's not quite as off topic this time as he usually is :) (same guy doing all of these) He seems to be asking if we would use our engine to create an MMORPG. That's something that has been requested at the Vegastrike forums before, and work on multiplayer Vegastrike has been going on for...
