Just out of curiosity.... When you guys get to modifying the source code itself and all, how will the installs be handled? And will Fred2 still be usable for making missions? Oh yeah, and there goes the old "Do you see that in FS2?" response to questions

it's fair enough saying "get the models done and we'll think about source code later", but I'd rather not have my models made obsolete by someone's fiddling with the source code.

for example.. would it take longer to code some sort of automatic LOD reducing than it does for us to make 3-4 extra versions of everything?

People were talking about destroyed model geometry, etc.. I personally haven't been told how to go about making a model in this way.

I expect all EA fighters will have to be re-done in future allowing for transparent cockpits ..

etc.

I feel that we need some kind of defined policy with regard the source code.

Pah . That's the common enthusiasm that always breaks out when something is new. Then people will start loosing interest fast and in the end there will only be VERY few changes made , if any.
Stay cool and proceed as if nothing happened. Transparent cockpit , who the hell needs them ? You won't see them anyway ingame.
Well , you can change to external view and admire your own cockpit with the right zoom setting , but then you can directly admire a render pic , that's no reason to have it ingame.

When the dust settles people will become reasonable again, so stay cool. If they use source code to make our lives difficult we send them to hell....

destroyed subobjects are easy,

code:


hull

|-subobject

|   |-geometry

|   |-light

|

|-subobject-destroyed

   |-geometry

   |-light

Another good "in theory" idea and with enough time...

Probably a better attempt at implementing interceptors is to create a weapons flag such as "Fighter_only" or "Bomber-" so that weapons will only fire on ships with the fighter or bomber flag, or warheads with the bomb flag.

And as for hardpoint cycling, add a bit in so that you can add a flag called "Cycle" or something, so it's optional on any primary weapon needed.

Okay okay, back on topic...umm...what were we talking about again?
