Thank you Diwa! It has a smooth command that subdivides the faces and alters them to make the model appear smoother. I just used it on the fuselage and it looks like it works. The lancaster looks like it has a shark fin on the top... *Works on the model* O hey, I still haven't submitted this reply! Added a few missiles and lasers on the bottom of the ship. I think it's going very well for 1 and 1/12 days of work

Ok, I assembled the fuselage, wings, and engines together. I hope to make the fins, fix some things, and smooth the whole thing out tomorrow. Enjoy. I know the engines do not look like what they do in the animated gifs and other photos, but I think these look cooler (and were easier to make). Really, who likes just plain prisms? Edit: Okay, that render looked pretty bad. Here's a screenshot.

Well, I tried the "Two Dice" Tutorial, but subsurfing the model makes it not look like a lanc wing anymore... Uhh, yeah, an extruded block attached. Edit: Maybe it would help if I pressed the "Attach This File" button Edit2: I just tried Wings3D and it is a _LOT_ easier. Almost done with the lanc

I made a Lancaster wing in Blender. Currently though, its just a block... I cannot make a slight curve that appears if you look directly behind the ship, nor can I smooth out all but the part where the wing attaches. (I could follow the dice tutorial for smoothing out the edges) I still have no idea how I would model the cabin though, with all of it's 3D-ness. I will have to look at more tutorials. Also, how do you make those textures? those look AWESOME and I would like to texture my lanc once I get done with it (if I ever do )

I still do not see "Linux Operating System" in addons

*tries out Wings3D* Dang this is hard... *tries out blender* raeandworaeecanzxwedaere Maybe I'll use that lego CAD system and make a warbird out of legos Get it large and detailed enough, scale it down, and no one will notice the difference That or when I get back into school I will see if the Inventor CAD program can turn what I make in it into models, since I apparently can do better with that. Or just grab the trial version and run it sandboxed, then just delete it and reinstall it again when it expires. Anyway, Excellent work on the Warbird. It looks awesome, and I bet the nightwasp would look pretty good judging from the concept art.

Probably, so do it on an alias account Anyway, I found this for restricting python: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/496746/ I could edit this to allow discretion to be imported, and to allow exception handling. Unfortunately, as someone pointed out in another forum, it does not stop code like 10**10*10 from eating all the memory of the program, but I could probably restrict multiplication, division, and exponentiation to certain values (ex. multiplication and division to 5 digits, and exponentiation to 5 digit on the input and numbers <= 5 for the factor) Really, I think your main threat would be a fake biller stealing your password, since if a python module crashes, you could probably just do Ctrl+alt+del and kill it, whereas we all know what would happen if someone stole your password. Really, It's your client. Do what you want with it.

Okay, how 'bout this then? A script will examine the python script being sent to the client. It will complain if: A module other than the "discretion" module is imported (which will have the math and random modules imported, for convenience [maybe stringIO too]) The script uses any suspicious functions (eg. open, save) If it does, it will warn the user, display what modules are being loaded if its that, and prompt if he wants to continue. I posted for a python-c API level solution, hopefully I will get a response.

I could add a "discretion" python module, with, say, an AllocateClientFile function to give a file to a module, so that they can store clientside data, then just examine the script for imports of libraries that could harm the system, or we could just restrict imports to using only the math, cPickle, hashlib, and a few other non-system modules. While were at it, lets just rewrite Discretion with python and twisted (jk)

Last one looks kindof neat. Probably gonna waste alot of CPU though. EDIT: Another appeared in the post after I posted this. Last 2 are neat.

What the heck is ping fluctuation anyway? If it's the amount your ping changes, like I'm guessing it is, why does it matter?

I miss the sound effect though. No biggie, I just miss it.

Like kill/death ratio? In regards to your other post, I doubt one person out of 15 can ruin a FG for their team unless they do something as stupid as TK the team's lanc. But your probably right on the AW and repping part, partially because I'm trying to equip my ship with things such as reactors, weapons, and armor and I don't have money for the mounts. But there's two problems: 1. When I was playing, we were attacking, so AW didn't really help because no one was porting. 2. If you rep 2-3 bombs in a bline, you just get 50 more sent at you. Kind of pointless and annoying. (And no I don't have brick mount, though I may get it once I equip my lanc enough)

What? Are you serious?

By scripting, do you mean like pymod in ASSS? I could do that, although I might not be able to do all the pyincludes like pymod does. However, it seems like you people are going against modules that work together, so it shouldn't be a problem if I implement everything.

Course the reset period is over and everyone (except me) has AD, summon, and sig weps. But yeah, 50+ people in the zone definitely gives you the $$$ in FG's

I don't think it shuffles too good because I was on the losing team 5-6 games in a row today. I didn't get one win.

So is this the official offtopic discussion thread now for discretion?

Please?

I did not want this to be splitted. In fact, I don't see a good reason to do so. It's completely offtopic from the forum, and it makes me look like an idiot (or moreso if I already do look like one). Seems like this only happens to me and people who intentionally troll. (I bet someone's gonna say "whats the difference?" to that). It was meant to be a small joke. In fact, it doesn't matter what "DC" means. According to Dr Brain, it stands for the same thing, and that's why it works in the joke. What I truly don't understand is that other people can make a joke like that, and there posts don't get split. It's just like on some zones I occasionally play on (ex. Desert Storm). I do the exact same thing everyone else does, but it looks like bullets hurt me more than them and I keep dying without getting any kills. Thinking about the joke is the same as killing it.

Juuuuust wondering, but why not GTK or wxWidgets and implement GTK like the several portable programs out there like Portable Pidgin? I am not sure if you can render the map in a slot, but all the GUI editors I have seen seem to tell me that there is a way. As for the buttons on the side, IDK, but it looks possible. I was just wondering, anyway.

So maybe it won't be so bad as bad as all the high school teachers are saying to me. Anyway, yeah, congrats!

Alright, thanks for fixing =) Good work on the editor BTW

Great, thanks a lot I will get onto making that star background rendering program. I am working on 50 different things at once so
