yea i noticed that before.. but just thought it was me :/.. only happened occasionally

Well isn't that lovely... thanks for the info...

why does that matter?

np

meh I keep tellin myself I'd work on Underlord's mervbot plugin tutorial lol... but nevah got around to it :/

If you open ships.bm2 which can be renamed to ships.bmp; each ship has a 9 degree turn, which makes 40 frames total. All you need to do now is create a BMP or several other formats such as this: ship#.ext -> and the size of the image does NOT matter BUT you must keep the 10x4 measurement. The idea behind this-> take the image height / 4, image width / 10 and this gives us our frame cells. Always consult the /graphics/ folder in your continuum; just rename .bm2 to bmp and wa2 to wav... There are several programs out there, many people choose to model it in 3D with programs such as Bryce, etc. Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro can also do these as well. If you check http://forums.minegoboom.com and under the user applications, there are several programs that will add lighting effect to your ship, and i believe there are some photoshop scripts to do this also... Once again, Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro (which I use). TileEdit (off of ssdownloads) is a big help occasionally. I am not one for creating tilesets, so I'm sure someone else can help you here better than I... These follow the same basic ideaologies of the ship.bmp, where there are so many tiles width/height, the last 2 rows have special features, such as the last 10(?) on the 2nd to last go like this 4 - doors, 4 doors, 1 flag, 1 safezone; the next row has some format like this: goal, fly under, fly over some w/ transparency.. i forget off of the top of my head... There have been some nice tutorials written somewhere on the SS Community; but the best program to create the LVZ INI is LIE off of http://forums.minegoboom.com user applications; go ahead and read up on http://www.shanky.com/server/ too, it has some good stuff on it.. Hopefully I helped ya on your way... CypherJF

any new developments towards a fix?

nope lol myke already beat ya to it long time ago lol

MEEEEEEH ... LOL its contagious i know

r.o.t.f.l. hah

Pretty much, however, some animations have more columns and less rows, etc. etc. so just check out the .bm2 file in /graphics/ dir for more information in regards to how many columns and rows..

lol... do u not run a antivirus w/updated definitions :/ _sighs_ lol... people (not specifically you) who do not run antivirus' that arent up 2 date, irritate me. things with this are people who use outlook, that irritates me even more... and what irritates me the most.. if when people put me in address books that are commonly accessed by worms... ARG!

meh either plugin works...

meh its called spawn.dll on catid's page

grraah well in a way its a good thing, in another a pain lol... but it's alright harhar...

I have had lost my password and there was no away a netop was going to give me the password to the account; so they deleted the user off of the dbase... and I was able to re-enter with it... so good luck..

hehe :/ .. how u have it designed could u technically release your own 'front' updates seperate from continuum?

I'd love to see 1) a fix to this hanging problem, which I know is currently underway 2) a perm. host so we can actually test this thing out. I attempted to hook up with a couple friends to play; but it for w/e reason didn't work... and don't be so quick to shy away possible help. that's all ill leave to that..

_sighs_ i wonder when that will be lol... mayeb this will make priit finish up .39 with these simple couple of fixes teehee...

why even = just ?ship #

lol

lol

really great work

do i detect a note of sarcasm? Well, it has been mentioned a few times before, so probably. indeed it has lol..

its a good idea until duplicated MID's occur :/ lol... or when like subchat's MID (which is static at this moment) gets banned lol
