ship upgrades and weapon systems - prediscussion for TT

This is going to be a major issue at the thinktank meeting, and I'd like to have some input. Ship Upgrades All ships should be upgradeable - this the player can configure the ship to his taste. But instead of allowing to upgrade any option to the maximum, each ship has upper limit, of what upgrade l...

I am not quite sure if I understand you correctly...
you are looking for a lib belonging to OrgeMath.h resp OgreVector.h? They don't exist on their own, but they are included in libOgreMain.so.

I see, you are really enjoying Babylon5... The idea sounds like ISN, but I like it. It would add greatly to the ambiance. They also used it in freelancer, and some other space shooter - but there it was the military news broadcast. We should maybe also think about the use of the internet in the futu...

Preliminary analysis of the doodle poll suggests Monday, Thursday or Sunday.

People-wise, Sunday would be best, but I would prefer to do it earlier, Monday or Thursday. Are there any objections?

Wise decision... ;) The trac doku should be quite good. Though I am doing some revisions - poke my in IRC, if I missed something.

what is new there? About 3 Months of development: We Merge FiCN back into the trunk. On tardis computer I only had to download orxonox trunk, but no Ogre. How can it be? Tardis uses a - more or less - standard linux installation and the average user should not have to install any software. For that...

Fondue was just a proposal... And I am not really in the mood for it. A serious counter proposal would be some mexican food - Fajitas or Burritos or similar stuff. About buying: I think I'll do it myself - probably I need a hand or two, and we'll split afterwards. For the preparation it would also b...

btw. I just looked at the few examples, Starlance has a quite large cockpit, so does Aquanox. A large cockpit yes, but does it contain any information? no, it does not - it is purely for the feeling. I think the criticism of the first HUD should be more specific, guys. Not good is way not good enou...

Btw. the trunk version is just a black screen. Is this true? Might well be. We didn't have the time to merge FICN back into the trunk - and we are not going to do it, until we did some cleanup. HUD, Head-up Display : A semi-transparent graphical and textual display of information projected upon the...

Full NACK! We need an HUD, and not a virtual cockpit. Yes, it looks more like one part, but it also forces you (or whoever gets the job) to create a new cockpit for every new ship/cockpit we introduce. Start with a minimal HUD, which comprises of only the mandatory part, then add whatever you find a...

For personal reasons I would prefer the weekend of the 9th to the one of the 16th - I am kind of busy then... Otherwis...

I agree, following the creado: release early, release often... And esp. before the next term. No segfaulting on any OS. make that any supported OS - ATM we cannot support OSX, or is someone willing to do it... I'd like to release the thing before the semester begins, that people which have to think ...
