Spacebuild Tutorial Series - General

Hey all, i've started a new spacebuild tutorial series. Hopefully if you guys can bump it up, we can stop people having so much trouble with SB. It's an awesome game mode and i want to see it progress more :) I will post new episodes soon. [b]Episode 1 - Spacebuild 101 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y-jCjkfM4U[/media] Episode 2 - Spacebuild Multi-Control [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AFQdhrTCNo[/media] Episode 3 - Spacebuild Lifesupport [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FYhGpQeMuk[/media] Episode 4 - Spacebuild Mining 101 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73EeURtd_lQ[/media] Episode 5 - Spacebuild Advanced Ship Building [video=youtube;z25It8hTVcY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z25It8hTVcY[/video] Episode 6 - Spacebuild Ice Mining [video=youtube;OBZBiFl3iJM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBZBiFl3iJM[/video] [/b] Thanks. Much love.

It's media tag. Remove the "s" in "htts". It should look like this. [code][.media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73EeURtd_lQ[/media][/code]Without the dot of course.

Thanks very much.

I recently set up a Spacebuild server on GM13, and there's so many damn new people who don't know anything. So this might be useful, I could perhaps link people to it if it's deemed fitting.

That would be great, thanks. I will arrange them into a play list shortly, if you find there is a specific topic that needs covering, do let me know. Thanks.

only thing about spacebuild i could never get the hang of was the life support oh, i could make ships, i made warships the size of planets and battlecraft that could end the universe but they where all kind of pointless without life support, this is a godsend and will be a great help thank you.

Thanks :)

[QUOTE=noforgivin;37983869]Thanks :)[/QUOTE] no, thank you. what was the map though? there's so many with roughly the same name it's hard to pick out

The cursor in the middle of the screen is really annoying

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;37983919]no, thank you. what was the map though? there's so many with roughly the same name it's hard to pick out[/QUOTE] Thats sb_forlorn_r3 i believe, has a moonbase, mineable rocks etc. Tiberium planets. [QUOTE=smurfy;37983944]The cursor in the middle of the screen is really annoying[/QUOTE] Yeah, capturing with Camtasia, Will try out fraps, just makes my vids huuuge. But yeah. Sorry.

man I miss good ol' spacebuild. I can't find any decent servers where the gm or whatever the fuck doesn't have a giant, op ship, or one that lags the cock out of the server because they don't know how to parent. So that kind of spoiled it for me.

Spaceage.eu servers are the best.

I miss Spacebuild. It's all I played when I still played Gmod This is the last screenshot I have of some stupid shit I built in it [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/SaborWolf/gm_solarsystem_v20002.jpg[/img] Which unfolded into all of this shit [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/SaborWolf/gm_solarsystem_v20004.jpg[/img] No fancy smancy shit here, Just straight up Thruster Power. I liked building compactable NoClipping things that could be transported and quickly set up somewhere. Time was of the essence and all

Looks pretty nice, you should get SBEP.

I'd love to see someone do a basic walkthrough of a hoverball-less spacecraft.

Great tutorial.

[QUOTE=Sodisna;37988733]I'd love to see someone do a basic walkthrough of a hoverball-less spacecraft.[/QUOTE] It's quite easy as long as you don't mind using a lot of them at a small power. Build a 3-axis within your ship [img]http://images-mediawiki-sites.thefullwiki.org/02/9/4/9/3076182475370294.png[/img] It can be with the ship's parts itself, and at each end, add two thrusters opposite each other. On the X axis you'd have them pointing vertically, On the Y Axis you'd have them pointing along the X axis, and on the Z you'd have them also pointing vertically (Assuming the Z axis is the fuseloge, the X would be wings) So you have Roll, Pitch, and Yaw set. Make them small inputs so it doesn't spin out of control and you can manage it. It's no fighter jet but it's semi realistic and easy to control. Don't forget to add a thruster to add some velocity and get you moving. Just make sure each thruster has a polar opposite so you can cancel out movements. Getting the fucking thing off the ground into space is the tricky part

Nice post Talon, but i can probably just use an Advanced Gyroscope to basically do the same thing. :) But yeah i like making things like your way when i want a challenge :D

What spacebuild is this. I feel terribly old now, I haven't played Spacebuild since Resource distribution 2 and space build 2.

I used to spend days playing spacebuild. I remember on one server we had a flotilla that patrolled the solar system, enforcing our psychotic will wherever we went. Also, I really didn't expect this but your voice gives me ASMR tingles at the top of my neck. That's pretty cool.

(I watch people draw) :) -- This is spacebuild 3 mining

Does SpaceBuild still lag horribly, constantly? Last time I played it (like 2 years ago), I rarely ever had a sub-200 ping because of all of the lifesupport junk and the enormous, welded ships.

Wow, Used to spend all my time in g-mod on spacebuild, Found my old video, ha! remember being so proud of it. I eventually stopped because it became so bloated. Recently checked and there's like 3 gigs of download to be able to play it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWUMYf-lKqM[/media]

It uses a ton of custom models. I prefer spacebuild 2 myself because It's not as overcomplicated or as many parts.

The Only major custom models you need are Life Support ones, and they are around 300mb. SBEP Models are entirely optional.
