That is just barking. How many planet types and planets of each type and size are there going to be? Youre talking of well over 100meg just for planet data.pd wrote:i'm working on this with noelte atm, it's smooth if we use 128 frames(we are using multiple .pngs atm, one for every frame -> 2,8mb), 64 isn't that smooth, but could also work.
i would like to use a video format for this purpose, but i don't know how hard it is to implement. i've rendered to an .avi file(xvid codec) and the animation is only 300kb. it looks clean and smooth.
Of course you can, you just have to code the stuff in there. You can have separately rotating cloud maps, night lights on the dark side (showing how developed the planet is), anything you want. You just need to let the programmers do some of the work for you.if you use a 3d sphere with attached texture you won't be able to get a nice atmosphere effect. prerendered looks much better!
If the processing requirements are too large to run on a low spec machine (an higher spec'd machine should be able to handle it pretty easily) then make it an option to have static planets.

Fair enough. I couldve sworn there were going to be 4 images for each planet type, but whatever. 46meg still seems large to me, for only 8x2 planet images.
Guess i just look for programming solutions to everything
Edit : Moved a load of technical guff to the proper thread discussion.

Totally agree with this, the splash screen is just annoying. But I guess it's simpler than disabling all the controls that can produce orders between turns.drek wrote: (Actually, I find the splash screen tween turns jarring. It would be better to have just a small status box in the top center of the screen. Esp. important during multiplayer games: players should be able to continue chatting and looking at their empire's state between turns.)
I'd suggested unexplored systems have their names hidden, and unoccupied systems should be greyed out to make it easier to spot occupied systems (and/or make the player colors stand out more).drek wrote: 4: You shouldn't be able to see planets in unexplored systems. Need a nice "Unexplored" bitmap to stick into the sidebar. (also, maybe system names should be hidden or greyed out on unexplored systems--makes it easier to tell which has been scouted)
Please post new bugs/sugs http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=br ... tid=544942 there. Copied contents of this thread to bug database.
Just confirning what vorenhutz said - all new bugs to be posted to the link he provided. If you wish, you can also post in this thread as well as to the bug tracker.
Also, if you see newcomers or oldies posting bugs on the forums here, please gently provide them a link to the bugtracker and ask them to search to see if it's there already, then submit it if it isn't.

Please asure that we can easyly distinguish between bugs and suggestions. Maby BUG:.... and SUG:....vorenhutz wrote:Please post new bugs/sugs http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=br ... tid=544942 there. Copied contents of this thread to bug database.
I would recommend that, if you work on a bug, you assign it to yourself.
BTW: What is the consensus about "pending" here? Does it stand for "pending upload" or "working on it"?
Edit: I was just informed that you need to have special rights for this. So, if you want to work on a bug, drop a line to noelte, tyreth, tzlaine or me.
