Re: RADIX's art stuff

Very well, you asked for it. [MSmile] Through your emphasis on Durandal's height, you imply he feels inadequate, shy, or lacks confidence. This seems like a mismatch, as Durandal in the games is purpose-driven, proactive, and self-promoting. Physically, I also see him as bald, but I don't have a jus...

Re: RADIX's art stuff

Looks like we have different tastes stylistically. All these brooding, moody, hair-over-the-eyes, angsty faces don't work for me. They're more Twilight than Marathon . Also, I understand you may have your own alternate universe, but I don't know who many of these characters are. Your technique is pr...

Re: Hit Detection

It would be difficult, because monsters are drawn as sprites, not cards. The precise xyz position of any given pixel in a sprite isn't defined. It can't be, because as you orbit around a sprite, in yaw or pitch, the sprite doesn't change. I suppose they could've done a transparency check using the p...

Re: Email Spam

The Pfhorums should really use flood control. No matter how future spammers get in, even limiting users to one new topic per 5 minutes would cut the spam by a factor of 40, making it easier for legitimate users to continue using the system until the spam can be removed.

Re: Possibility of a Marathon Speedrun

I don't understand the question. Your speed run is precisely timed down to the second or less. What is there to estimate? Is this like the average time a speed run should take? And if so, shouldn't that be based on actual attempts instead of making up numbers?

Re: More Marathon Soundtrack Stuff! (Guardians, Leela, Swirl

Guardians: In a word, reflective. This would go well accompanying the main menu of a Marathon remake, with a slowly panning outer space scene in the background. I didn't like the synth pad as much as the more acoustic instruments. Leela: The reverb is good for a standalone listening, but might seem ...

Re: Is it possible to run Aleph One at 60fps?

No, but now is a good time to mention one of the well known names in the A1 dev community said on the mailing list last month that he's added 60 fps support to the engine. I'm cautiously optimistic the next A1 release could have this feature.

Re: Designating the Liquid texture.

Huh. I always assumed when not using replacement textures, the opacity of semi-transparent liquids was set to some uniform, hard coded value. Well played goran. You keep your title as A1's texture guru. [MWuh]

Re: Remove "limit vertical view", add config based FOV slide

No, that doesn't sound right. How far you can look up or down is controlled in the physics model. A preference that overrides it would probably cause netgames to go out of sync. Limit Vertical View has to do with the field of view. As I recall, the option has something to do with maintaining consist...

Re: Scenery snapping to grid.

Halathon has required precisely placed scenery objects for 3D models. I haven't found a better method than zooming way in and nudging the object with the arrow keys until the X/Y coordinates, displayed in the bottom left corner, are what I want them to be.

I notice the crash occurred specifically when you fired the fusion pistol. If you replay the film under different settings, you can insure an apples-to-apples test. Is there an error message or crash log?
