Why do you all keep posting BMP screenshots? :'(

*MESH_FACE has the following syntax, if I recall well:

*MESH_FACE faceNumber A:vertex1 B:vertex2 C:vertex3 *MESH_MTLID mtlid

faceNumber is an index, vertex1-vertex3 are the vertices the face is made of, mtlid is when you have a multi/subobjects material, keep it at 0.

Remember to add a *MESH_FACENORMAL and three *MESH_VERTEXNORMALs.

yes, i hope. the problem is photoshop is only on the mac side of the computer, meaning there will be much burning of files to disks and back and forth stuff.


Get photoshop for Windows then!
Oh, and can't you access Windows' partition from OS X?

You know, the songs are copyrighted, Google / Youtube is scared of the RIAA / MPAA / music / movie corporations lawsuits and does everything to keep the service running. You'd rather have a video sharing service with copyrighted work deleted or no video sharing service at all?

I just kinda read the "Becoming a Technophobe" thread (I haven't previously, I didn't think it could be that interesting), and I thought I'd throw in my five cents.

I have nothing against technology, including but not limited to the interwebz, facebook, twitter, internet forums, et caetera. It's the people I'm worried about. Not about the fact that face-to-face communication starts to disappear, but the fact that miraculously people start treating their opinion as a fact, throw away all authorities and are generally leaning towards egocentrism.

The fact about the internet that I hate the most is the false sense of anonymity it gives. People start acting like retards, stop caring about how others see them. Not only it dumbs the intraspheres down, but it also starts pouring out to the real world. The thing I have been observing for quite a long time now is that there is more and more presence of the information superhighway in the real world. At least in Poland the dumbing down of the internet appears in ads of mobile carriers and a popular local web instant messaging service called Gadu-Gadu, mainly targeted towards young people. When I see those (usually they're huge billboards in the city centre), I puke a little in my mouth.

Oh, and Viper, do try to write your posts more coherently and with less grammatical errors. English isn't my main language, but I still do try to spend a little more time shaping my posts. If you start to do the same, you will magically see other people take your opinion more seriously and stop treating you like a nuisance. Give it a shot.

it says there are not enough devices or something. RA2 will start up but the mouse will not work. i have to forcequit.


Hm, well no luck with wine-based applications then.
Boot camp is a nightmare to install, you will need a legal Windows XP install CD (I tried with a copy, it didn't work). Good luck. Hopefully you'll be able to get it to work.

No BMPs. So here's a rough suggestion for color only in the gmf:

The normals are still messed up :(. I have the tverts sorted out, and have created a texture for the body of the motor, but with all the noise due to normals it doesn't look really well. I'll give you more info when I get back to my main computer.

Looks nice, Serge.  Does it have another AP on the back side?  Cool name.  I'd like to look at it if I may, then I could give better input...


I'll add one in the back and upload it in a couple of minutes.

Are all the normals right in the model? Sometimes you get faces with two normals going both ways...

Instead of using bootcamp, try to run RA2 using Crossover Games. It's a program that simulates Direct X and other Windows APIs and lets you run applications and games. There's a trial on their website, google it.

So yeah, yesterday evening I tried to create a simple motor, but I failed miserably.

Here's how it looks in 3dsmax:

(I'm really rusty at modeling, I need to work on that to make my stuff less ugly)

Here's how it turned out in RA2. The normals are all ****ed up, and I couldn't be arsed to map the component, since it would still look like crap. I'd probably have to redo the model from scratch.


I take requests. Let me know if you have any ideas for components, I will make them.

£10 here.

HEYYY You get it cheaper!

£1.60 = $2

AHH!

Us eurofags always get ripped off either by companies assuming £1 = 1$ or €1 = 1$.
:(

EDIT: nowait. You brit actually got it cheaper. If it was direct money conversion, you should have paid 12 pounds, but you paid 10.

Back on topic, you shouldn't salvage anything from the hexbug, the remote is IR (infrared) and not radio. The only reasonable thing you can use from ti are the motors (if they're any good), or electornics from the PCB (if you're electronics-savy, and the PCB doesn't consist of a big glob of epoxy covering all the interesting stuff).

I assume that was to fix the problem of not being able to use apostrophes in print statements easily.


No, that was to make it consistent. Having one instruction a statement was a bit weird. Oh, and 3.0 was meant to break backwards-compability, hence the version number (and not 2.8).

I'm torrenting it and will tell you what I think about it when I install it. Looks neat.
Anyone tried the 64 bit edition?

Ad Block Plus is excellent, I find NoScript a little bit too overkill and paranoid.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is the sh** when it comes to spyware removal.
Combofix,  Hijack This! and CCleaner are all very good, too.

General Support / What frame rate is best for RA2 matchs for fraps?
« on: August 03, 2009, 01:16:23 PM »
Quote from: Madiaba;56917
Serge, isn't that the NTSC framerate for color tv's. Is there an advantage you know of to use this rate for a comp and monitor? When I saw this rate as an option in FRAPS, I assumed it was for playback on a tv. If you know of one, I'll switch to that framerate.  Let me know, please.


Of course choosing it leads to an advantage when converting the video for playback on a TV, or writing it as a Video DVD. But I think it's the best mainly because it's high enough to make a video non choppy, yet low enough to not make the video too big. That and the TV playback capability made me choose it.

Quote from: Pwnator;56920
Does RA2 have a framerate cap?

*slightly off-topic*: Shouldn't Serge be more of a Technical Adviser than a Veteran? :P


I think it may be capped @ 60fps, but I'd have to check it out using the debug window.

I should be a n00bweight.

Never mind, I was reading a tutorial for 2.6 and was using 3.1, which isn't backwards compatible. :vista: I don't know how they managed to break something as simple as "hecko world," but they did, so I'm switching versions. Thanks for the help though!


In 3.x print is a function, not a statement like it was before, so you do

print("Holy sh**!")

It's actually good they made it a function.

I think 29.97 FPS is the best (NTSC framerate).
