If it holds any weight with you, iPads are the only devices we're using in the aviation community as our Electronic Flight Bags.

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5600/swomega.th.jpg This is my first concept for the Omega projectile. I got to thinking about Alpha and Omega. Alpha, the beginning, would represent light and new life. Omega, the end, represents the end of all things, darkness, and ultimately, death. That train of ...

Now, this is my idea of a black shark.

SilverWolf

Fixed the frag. Had somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,500 polys, and Descent didn't like that at all. I got it down to the 400 neighborhood by simply remodeling the center section and deviating from the "inflatable balloon" theory I've been playing with.

Frag's Broken.

Guideds, Homers, Frags, and Concs available for your viewing displeasure. I'll update the download within the next twenty-four hours, so watch for it if you're interested. How many people are interested in what I'm doing, anyway?

Next up, the Omega Projectile.

SilverWolf

So, I've been trying out the "cruisin'" approach to things, and I think my efficiency has increased a little. I tend to omit my rear views still, but I'm getting better at incorporating them into my scan. One thing I'm still having an issue with, though, is close-quarters sitautional awareness. Easy ...

SilverWolf

I'm in.

SilverWolf

Mortar and Napalm rocket up. For some reason, I had a great deal of trouble with these two weapons. I think in the future I'll actually have to start concept drawing, and then modelling. With these two weapons, especially the mortar, as straight forward as it is, I just had no clue what to do, then ...

SilverWolf

Actually, that's being caused because my eyes tend to focus on anything coming at me. So naturally, just like the runway, I'll adjust the flight path until it meets that point (which turns out to be a fusion burst sometimes, or a missile.) Still working on this. Trying to focus on the open spots and ...

SilverWolf

I'll go ahead and start working on this, then. An M102 howitzer to replace the mass driver (similar to what's found on the AC-130 Spectre.) Like I said earlier, here's the preliminary details: Muzzle Velocity: 482 m/s Range: 11,500 m Damage: You guys tell me. Rate of fire: 1 round/6 seconds Finally ...

I'm currently uploading a demo of a game I played this evening to my google documents folder. It's pretty large, though, on the order of four-hundred megabytes. As soon as it's up I'll post the link and I'm sure you'll be able to pull it one-hundred times faster than it's taking me to push it ...

SilverWolf

I have always flown with the rear views up, but unfortunately they don't do me any good because they're always angled into a corner in the floor. If I'm on the move, I'm tri-chording, and so that means my longitudinal axis is never in line with the hallway.

SilverWolf

New Smarts and Mercs for the Wolf-GX. Mortars and Napalm Rockets soon! I'd like the D3 omega if it had more reach. Thing about that is it's hard coded into the DLL somewhere. Basically, you can't change anything about it. Although what I could do is make a new death-stick in the form of an OOF ...

SilverWolf

New, High-poly Megas and Shakers for the Wolf-GX.
Next: Smarts and Mercs!

Something I'm currently considering is making a new projectile for the Omega cannon, and turning it into a traditional, albeit overpowered, projectile weapon.

SilverWolf

So, this is going to seem a bit like pining, but at my own risk here I go. I've been trying to get re-involved in descent over the last few weeks, and I'm coming back to issues I've never resolved in the past. Suffice to say if 10% efficiency is the best I can do, I'll just leave again. So I'd just ...

"Router Table?"

SilverWolf

I tried exactly that.

I created a static route with a destination ip of my pc, an ip subnet mask of 255.255.255.255, a gateway ip address of 10.0.0.1, and a metric value of 3. It tells me that "the IP address is invalid," without telling me which one. >_< Damned thing.

SilverWolf

I hate to resurrect such a dead topic, but, damn... For some reason I'm bent on getting Kali up and running again, and I can't do it. Just like everyone else, I have the ports forarded, and just like Riot, the Netgear wont let me use my IP address in a static route. Been searching all over the ...

SilverWolf

Yeah, of course I was kidding...

SilverWolf

Very nice, indeed. Have a good semester. (Indeed, classes are starting, that means I'll have a pay-check again! Yay!)

SilverWolf

In my random searches for other information, I've been reading through complaints, both recent and ancient, about Descent 3's Lv. 6 boss, the Homunculus. I don't have much appreciation for this dude either. With a 360 degree field of view (meaning he can melee you even if you're behind him, a 220 m ...

The Wolf-GX is now available from download via my Google documents folder. No sign-in is required, only the URL. As a reminder, all pilots are encouraged to acquire the paint templates, and return to me your personalized paint-jobs in ogf format. This will allow me to re-assign your own personal ...

SilverWolf

Dreadfully tempting...

SilverWolf

This is actually something I was looking at while designing the Wolf-GX. While making changes in my weapon system (to include the addition of GAU-8 Avengers, and the return of the Mercury and Earthshaker missiles,) was considering changing the mass driver to model an M-102 howitzer with 105 mm ...

SilverWolf

Holy... ★■◆●...

SilverWolf

Some interesting finds, this morning. With some restructuring of the model hierarchy, and I'm sure a train-load of good fortune, the cockpit now appears as desired in game, minus a few artifacts. Unfortunately, the rear view function is still not functioning, and this I just cannot accept... Or can ...

SilverWolf

I like the DiamondClaw the best. "Ha, ha, I've got your !@#$in' arms now, !@#$!

" I definitely agree. Descent Comic.

SilverWolf

Well, so long as it's only the cockpit that's holding this thing up, I'd like to open the forum now on the performance specs and the weapons' systems of the Wolf-GX, and I'd like to take into consideration the needs/wants of the community.

SilverWolf

Here's a preview of what the cockpit should almost look like in game... http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/8918/screenshot030bg.th.jpg Now, I don't know why, but the canopy is appearing over the panel itself. See the darker arc where the tinting extends across? Yeah... And like I said earlier, the ...

SilverWolf

If someone stops in, I'll play for a bit. Usually it's a nice break from all the headaches this thing is giving me. I won't stay to anarchy, though, I just don't think that'd be very cool to do to someone. :S The cockpit it almost done, but I'm having the damndest problem with it: No rear views.

SilverWolf

WhiteShark and Charlie stopped in to say hello today, while I was testing the Wolf. Here's a preview of the new reticle and the new hud.

SilverWolf

I hated that guy so much... I like the touch with full missiles actually sitting inside the bays; I never once gave consideration to that. In the original it always looked like a pair of nipples or something... Then a tiny little smart missile pops out. O_o

Nice one.

SilverWolf

I'll be posting the offsets and all information I've learned through this experience in the near future, for future reference to the community.

SilverWolf

What do you guys think of the new cockpit?

SilverWolf

Someone please tell me you know what the hell outrage did here, and why 0,0 does not corner an item up into the upper left corner of the screen? I'm at the end of my leash here trying to organize the HUD and cockpit for the Wolf-GX, and the kitchen knives are starting to look very, VERY friendly. :(

SilverWolf

This damned thing... I took a look at all the reticle files for every default ship and I noticed something: I noticed that the Mag breaks from the norm and does not have pr13a, pr13b, pr24a, or pr24b. So, instead of having files such as pr0145a, I got clever and broke it down into pr0... pr1... pr2 ...

SilverWolf

Thank you, gentlemen. D3 is being nasty about handling the eight gun points, so as soon as I get the reticle figured out I plan on releasing it. Depending on how interested the community becomes, I'll allow pilots to paint their own fighters, as opposed to having a small 32 x 32 image. That process ...

SilverWolf

So recently I finished the Wolf-GX, and as some of you know I'm utilizing all eight gunpoints. Unfortunately, that means the reticle is all messed up. By messed up I mean D3 looks for a few key files like _lguna, _rguna, and other ogfs that are specific to the firing points. Well, I thought I was ...
