[QUOTE=Lord Hayden II;26154630]Why don't the CAP guys just turn around and make the 8 and 9 chevron dialing much more simple...? For example, make the "Give the gate a name screen" (Great name, I know), have a 8 and 9 chevron symbol too, so: Gate Name: Stargate Gate Address: GATE01 Chevron 8 Code: @ Chevron 9 Code: 5 So, when someone types into a DHD, GATE01, it dials the 7 chevron address, but if they type in GATE01@5, then it dials the 9th chevron...? As for quick dial, just add an extra check box that says "Dial Chevron 7, 8 or 9"... ...simple...?[/QUOTE] I think that's more complicated to code then how it's done now.

It means completely rewriting aVoN's base code to handle 9 symbols for addresses. Which could potentially fuck up every other Stargate based addon

never mind about fucking up avon's code with the galaxy gates, this topic is about the destiny map so lets talk about the destiny map; if you wanna talk about the galaxy gates then go on the carters pack forum website. how is the map going anyway tikay?

Very good!!!! Have you a date for this release?

[sp] Oh well, the destiny has a nice new shiny shuttle now! [/sp]

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;26294232][sp] Oh well, the destiny has a nice new shiny shuttle now! [/sp][/QUOTE] Exactly what I thought was going to happen

Its odd, even though its nice and clean (new) it still has a very old and retro look to it.

tikay, can you give me a list of what worlds there are in this map? I'm starting on a gamemode, so I need to know what resources I can get from which planet.

Ugh, that would require me to finally decide which planets will stay in the end. ^^ So, along with some suggestions: Destiny - spare parts? hanging from walls, lying in corners. but my destiny is probably not big enough for that :P Icarus Base - can't think of anything Ice planet - obviously water Desert planet - lime, calcium carbonate or whatever they put into the CO2 scrubbers Forest planet - food (and water) Barren/wasteland planet (from episode Intervention) - metal ore ---> spare parts? Temple planet - see icarus :P

Ughhhhhh! I can't wait for this map! I just want to hang out near the Apple Core and listen to the sounds of the ship... Tikay, what % completed (to V1) would you say the map is at?

icarus guns'n'ammo aswel for temple ?

[QUOTE=Pendante1686;26342793]Ughhhhhh! I can't wait for this map! I just want to hang out near the Apple Core and listen to the sounds of the ship... Tikay, what % completed (to V1) would you say the map is at?[/QUOTE] It's not set in stone, just estimated: 10%-90%; depends on what you expect :P Going by my own wish-list for V1: 80% Too bad this doesn't tell you when to expect the release. Avons percentages are frozen for what, two years? :fuckyou:

This looks awesome, great work!

[QUOTE=tikay;26343828]Too bad this doesn't tell you when to expect the release. Avons percentages are frozen for what, two years? :fuckyou:[/QUOTE] Let's hope you don't give up and drop off the face of the earth, like the guy who was making that tornado map. I really wanted to play that.

[QUOTE=Pendante1686;26345542]Let's hope you don't give up and drop off the face of the earth, like the guy who was making that tornado map. I really wanted to play that.[/QUOTE] For exactly that reason I told another guy, who is working on a destiny map too, just a few hours ago to NOT STOP working on it. (<----grammar is not a strength right now) I might be hit by a bus, trip down a staircase or get bitten by a rabid dog any day. God, that would make a lot of wasted time. Better release it fast, huh? :rolleyes:

Also, the guy that was making the Tornado map did not drop off the face of the earth, just pretty much stopped work on it for some reason...

With a little bit of LUA, could you detect when the destiny stargate is being dialed by another gate, and drop the ship out of FTL?

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;26355725]With a little bit of LUA, could you detect when the destiny stargate is being dialed by another gate, and drop the ship out of FTL?[/QUOTE] That would be cool! As well as Stargate restrictions, such as you can only gate-hop and not dial any gate to another gate. And Destiny only being able to dial the planet it's in range of. But that's probably already been discussed.

You guys are asking for a bit too much from a uncompleted map. Why not finish the map first, and THEN talk about all the possibilities...?

That was discussed partially already: [QUOTE=tikay;25569977]As for the stargates: I'm pretty sure that I can't disable them without LUA...[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=tikay;25563895] Dropping in/out of FTL is tricky. The particle effect used for the "clouds" is switchable, but the lighting give me headaches. I also need to find a way to make that color shifting effect seen when entering/leaving FTL. Maybe through LUA. CAPs arthurs mantle uses an effect that might fit.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Lord Hayden II;25564212]And the LUA, just by asking around, I have heard from various people that packing LUA with the map etc. isn't a good idea. I have not looked into this myself, however, and nor did I ask why. It is up to you what you do though...[/QUOTE] I scrapped (or at least postponed) the LUA ideas. Seeing as I don't know jack shit about LUA and still have more serious stuff to do... Would be cool nevertheless.

Just a question, do you have the sounds for the destiny yet? Like when it's in FTL?

[QUOTE=R4zzer;26382327]Just a question, do you have the sounds for the destiny yet? Like when it's in FTL?[/QUOTE] yes hes got doors buttons alarms gate etc.. more to come when the show presents more.... im from the cap team this is what i do.. any time he needs them he can ask

looks very nice

[QUOTE=R4zzer;26382327]Just a question, do you have the sounds for the destiny yet? Like when it's in FTL?[/QUOTE] I dont think there will be a ambient sound, because everyone think it´s annoying.

[QUOTE=dije;26386889]I dont think there will be a ambient sound, because everyone think it´s annoying.[/QUOTE] I think it gives a more realistic feel to it. Ambient sound is only bad when used incorrectly.

[QUOTE=Lord Hayden II;26395077]I think it gives a more realistic feel to it. Ambient sound is only bad when used incorrectly.[/QUOTE] Agreed. A Destiny map without the ship's deep, bassy ambience would just feel wrong.

[QUOTE=Pendante1686;26398157]Agreed. A Destiny map without the ship's deep, bassy ambience would just feel wrong.[/QUOTE] A map without any ambience at all feels wrong...

Ok, my mistake...

Thank you for making this map, I don't care about the wait as long as I will get to play on it. Any plans for particle effects?
