I only installed BC yesterday (and KM 1.0b). Didn't realise it was going to be released so soon.

That would be my fault. The proper ones are locked off by the engine and we needed (for some reason which I don't remember) new ones making from scratch.

Post by: moed on July 23, 2007, 06:24:23 PM: This is a bit of a sidenote to the release of KM 1.0 but now that it has been released, any word on the release of the stand-alone LC Intrepid?

NP I will overwrite them to the .9.1's version, much more cannon looking and Im not that much bothered about stars following me, although it is a great touch :D

How do you plan to do it? It's not as simple as swapping out a texture sadly. If enough of you guys want I will attempt a patch. I've learned quite a lot since they was written.

Post by: LJ on July 27, 2007, 12:26:52 PM: JB06, could you let me know if they are acceptable for gameplay please? :) If they are i'll get something packaged up.
Title: Re: Kobayashi Maru has been just released
Post by: Jb06 on July 27, 2007, 02:57:10 PM: I tried numerous ships low poly & high and its marginally slower though i am using a 7 year old pc, so im guessing better pc's it will be fine.

good work LJ :D
Title: Re: Kobayashi Maru has been just released
Post by: LJ on July 27, 2007, 06:14:50 PM: Thanks Jb06. Here is the patch for other people to try out. KM1.0 ONLY!!

This should not break any MP compatibility or anything like that since the changes are only asthetic. However because a load more emitters are now being generated it is going to run slower. (I cannot judge how much slower because i've recently attached 4 monitors to my computer and am running about 20 other apps at the same time as BC lol)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/401ez7 (http://www.sendspace.com/file/401ez7) (it goes in \scripts\Custom\QBautostart\Libs)

Good Luck! Hope you like it! Can we please have reports and suggestions on how to improve the patch. Sadly I cannot find a way to widen the particle trails as they seem to be hardcoded into the engine. (understandably lol)

I would also like it to be noted that the first time I wrote this script it was pretty bad and rushed. I have only made it worse by hacking up what I've already done and adding coefficients here and there. Not good practice at all....

Title: Re: Kobayashi Maru has been just released
Post by: tiqhud on February 05, 2008, 03:08:40 PM: I just recently installed KM1. and I reconfigured the ships up, down, left, right, over to the number pad.
well it seems without the Thrusters Mutator on, (I'm going at impulse 9, but when I try to turn or go up or down , my impulse gos down to 3, but when I reactivate the 'thruster mutator , that does not happen, go figure.
