Just looking at that wireframe, you seem to have far more polygons and vertices than you need for such a simple mesh.

Ubuntu 13.04 with i3 as a window manager.

When I boot linux (default boot):

When I boot windoze:

Actually, I have nothing to do with geocore! The project I was (and still am) working on is DEEP Space.
And yes, I am still keen and have replied to your PM

sdfgeoff

Um, It's running ubuntu currently. Everything's working under windows! I've got it to be enabled, by compiling the driver according to here and updating the kernel to 3.7 (. something else, I don't remember) Then I blacklisted the rt2800 module, and added the rt3920 to the startup list. (My device i...

Actually, I changed that in the bios so it was fn+f12.
I tried it both ways, but it didn't change a thing.

I'm making progress though (I think)

sdfgeoff

Well, I bought a HP Envy m6 recently, with it's shop-provided copy of windows 8. Since then, I've dual-booted ubuntu on it. But I have a problem. After several hours of playing, I got the laptop to recognize that it had a wireless card, but I haven't managed to get it to find the button (fn+f12) tha...

Well, the past week has seen only resurrected threads, so here's a new one.

sdfgeoff

Don't know if this fits properly, but here you can by 'Frank's Zesty Lemonade'. An inspection of the ingredients reveals no lemon, but around 15% lime!

sdfgeoff

Well, for an assignment, i'm studying the power consumption of a laptop. Over the course of it's life (including manufacturing) it consumes ~6430Mj.

What can I compare this to?

sdfgeoff

Only just about anything?
Can you give me some examples of the exceptions?

sdfgeoff

At the moment I don't have access to a windows computer to generate the executable from!

sdfgeoff

Hmm. Some interesting points made here. I also posted this on another site, and they came to the same conclusion: stealth and not being detected is the key to survival. After that came two opinions: - Missiles - Mass-driver Missiles are good for super-long range, but are easy for CIWS to see and tar...

Let's ignore physics, and assume we have laser guns, anti-gravity, counter-inertial-drives, and a pyroGX zipping around in space. Let's also assume we have some people who want to fight each other in space. What would it look like? How would modern strategy evolve to fit the third dimension? Would m...

Meteor Rain: Sounds like some super-power from one of those old 2D fighting games....

I also considered the same thing, so if anyone can show me a comparison of where the Russian meteor and the DA14 came from, I will be most interested.

For me Eragon, which was a great book, was the worst movie-let-down ever.

I hope that Ender's game isn't going to be the same.
(If you haven't read Ender's game, read it now)

sdfgeoff

You don't use python 3 these days:

Code: Select all

print worstmovies[:10]
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

sdfgeoff

Nope, must be location based.
First is a whole bunch of mini icons. Second is the NZ flag (where I live)
US flag is third on the list for me, followed by Turkey and Sweden

sdfgeoff

Bump it into orbit and mine it.

sdfgeoff

That is irrefutable logic.

What the title says! So far I've only uploaded the blend files, I'll put up the linux executable today, and do the windoze one whenever I can export it! Features: High-scores New level (that is actually interesting to play): http://deepspace.x10.mx/images/_data/i/upload/2013/01/22/20130122180650-2a6...

As I'm sure many here will agree, Descent is better than most conventional FPS's I was wondering why it is that way, and came up with one possibility: Normal FPS's are based primarily on reflexes. Who can notice the enemy fastest, and still be accurate enough to hit him. This means that a person who...

sdfgeoff

Oh, and 'blow something up'
Nniiiiicccee

sdfgeoff

Yeah, the noise and air-movement around it would negate the 'retro reflection panels' or whatever the cloak was called. Besides, care to explain how it flew (or at least didn't flip upside-down) with two fans not working. My quad-copter is completely unable to fly if even one is non-functioning. Goo...

D3 isn't made for multiplayer in my opinion, which may have led to it dying out. But that is beyond the scope of this thread. I would play D3 if there were people there, but not on Kali (I don't have it, and neither will any of us newer guys). The thing you need to do is build the d3 community. D2 h...

sdfgeoff

It's fairly standard. Parts are grouped together, and you just, well, glue it.

sdfgeoff

Done a tad more. Finished the main sections of the fuselage except for the transom (yeah, it doesn't quite fit properly, but it's good enough for me). In this image I've test-fitted the lower wings. I'll glue them later today. Lasers are a pain in the neck. I think I'll just find some solid aluminiu...

sdfgeoff

I've done a tad more on the fuselage, but was a little busy this weekend to do anything else.
I'll post some more pics soon.

sdfgeoff

There's a few things I've changed/will change. Things like the engines, which you've made complete cone-things I've just made the tops. The loops I'll make separately. The wings went together fine, but the body seems to be a little off in places. I just guestimated and spent time and made it fit. It...

sdfgeoff

I am making one! Here's the lower wings, cockpit, part of the engines, and part of the body. Pyro1.jpg If anyone wants to follow along and make their own, here's my process: - Cut out paper part - Use a glue stick to tack the paper onto the (unrolled) can - Use scissors to cut the can into shape - B...

Sound does, that's why police sirens coming towards you sound higher pitched than police sirens going away. Higher Frequency.
And why redshift is in-front of you. Higher frequency.

sdfgeoff

I've had D3 for ages, and am keen to get some multiplayer games in.
Unfortunately, all the servers have.... 250ms ping or so. And D3 will kick you for too much ping if you are over 200.

Any suggestions?

sdfgeoff

Now that is not the spirit of Descent at all.

sdfgeoff

I did some tests, like I said I would, and discovered that, out of the range of glues I tests, PVA (white glue) build up into a gusset was adequately strong.
I am somewhat surprised really!

sdfgeoff

I've been trying to figure that out. Coke cans have a plastic film over them, so I figure that if I preserve this on the inside (perhaps lightly sanded), normal epoxy should be able to hold strong enough for a display model. Otherwise, aluminium will hold a bend, so many of the parts may be able to ...

sdfgeoff

Looking good their piggler, and welcome to the community

I'm still drinking can's of coke to make one out of aluminium. I figure it's about 5 cans worth...
If I don't do that, then I'll make one out of wood.

sdfgeoff

I was going through all the Descent forums, and came across this:

(Found from the dxx-rebirth forums)

I may have to make one out of thin aluminium.

(Here are the plans)

sdfgeoff

Woot. I've been meaning to do this for ages. Here's proof:

I've still got to do mouse and external, but after that I'll be done. (external is a txt file input)

sdfgeoff

My area of focus in developing DEEP Space has shifted. Over the past years I've worked on coding, and now it is nearly done. Only the following areas remain: - Key-mapper - Mouse-mapper - Buying Scene - Finish High scores - (update AI) - (update asset loading to include custom addons) This may take ...

We need one of these these
