Are you absolutely sure you were doing that (which should I think be absolutely fine: vectors may be multiplied by scalars) and not

Code: Select all

5 * CalcSpecularLight(lightVector, eyeVector, exponent, normal, gl_LightSource[1].specular)

From the original error message I think that's more likely: the distinction between "5" (const int) and "5.0" (const float) is important, as there's no automatic conversion between the types (at least, not on every graphics driver - it works on some)

An idea: you should see them moving only if there is a Thargoid raid in the system. So if you follow them then you will be in danger soon.

But honestly, they should be moving around a little. Something for the next update?

Navy Light Destroyer, a beautiful ship modelled and textured by SimonB, is now released. Download link in the first post and wiki. See image a couple of posts above.

The ship has been toned down a bit to not tilt the balance too much. It's a little tougher than Transport but only a little. This ship replaces about 1/3 of the Transport ships.

Enjoy.

Ooooh, so they're supposed to just be sitting there? I would have thought they should be doing a patrol around the witchpoint or the space stations in question. From a visual standpoint it makes the universe more alive (even if they're just going in a wide circle). Heck, I'd even have it so the fighters escorting the big ships change their formations every few minutes (as if they're practicing combat maneuvers)

Although I enjoy constructing starship models, I still have problems with compiling a workable oxp, and have got frustrated and lost interest. Therefore, unfortunately I am going to give it a break for a bit. When I had posted previews of what I was intending, the response seemed positive so it would be a shame to simply disappear and take these models with me. For anyone with blender, I am making available a set of models for onward use, should anyone wish to do anything with these. The 3D models are complete and the textures are mostly finished. the ones with plists in them, these have simply been borrowed from another oxp of a similar sort of craft, with the hope of modifying it to suit. No plagiarism intended.

Thanks for all your help with my questions. Hopefully I will be able to come back to this at a later date.

Putting the Mk3 Cobra into storage and retiring planetside. Till next time, signing off, Cmdr Amaranth.
