the trilogy you want is by Timothy Zahn - Heir to the Empire - Dark Force Rising - The Last Command there are more SW books after those by Zahn, but Read those three, IMO they breathed new life into the franchise in the early 90s.
i'm busy, lol.

well i don't know if the decimals are a factor or not, it just seemed prudent to me to make the changes i have.
[quote who="EviliroN" reply="16" id="1965572"] By my logic more decimals=more calculations for player's computers to run. 0.000000 is the same as 0.0, it's redundant. Using notepad++ is there a way to take all the integers in a file and remove 5 of those zeroes?

[quote who="derenek" reply="9" id="1965318"]frankly I think permanent invisibility is a game breaker.[/quote] You make a good point. And now that you mention it i can't recall a time that a ship in SW (novels) made a hyperspace jump WHILE cloaked. perhaps just invisibility when sitting in a grav well... To take that further if it jumps into an "ambush"-type defense and is immediately under fire it cannot engage it's cloak (eville please feel free to use "my"
I just posted this in the "cloaking possible?" thread, thought you guys may be able to come up any ideas based off it...

I'm an avid novel reader, only a few star wars novels i haven't read... and they're new "prequels"... An Imperial III star destroyer (for example the "Anakin Solo") can remain cloaked indefinately. My assumption is that cloaking would require a constant power supply, therefore a charge using a "capacitor" (i work with electronics, sorry) would be insufficient for any kind of sustained cloaking, because the power supply would never be constant.

Reduced 95%Original 600 x 380 Seriously, though, after that happened, the AI decided to do something smart: Get the #$*& out.

[quote who="EvilleJedi" reply="15" id="1963942"]my intent was to replicate the format of the files exactly, it's all calculated in excel and macro exported out anyway, so are you saying trunctate to no decimal places? or just fill with 6 zeroes?[/quote] By my logic more decimals=more calculations for player's computers to run. 0.000000 is the same as 0.0, it's redundant. for example. this is my current SSD file that i'm working on and is going to undergo major chan
my thought was that it would be interesting if players could still see the blip of an enemy ship on their galactic view, but unable to see/target the ship at planet-view until it decloaks/fires. That way attentive players would at least have an inkling of the pain that is a comin'.
if you get hamachi and join the server/network 7 DEADLY SINS (password= danman) you'll be able to see/contact our regular players more easily. on our site we also have a multiplayer forum section for setting up games in advance (5v5 is fun :)
is there anywhere i can find to research on it at all? I'd like to learn more than what i see within the current files.
i'm sorry i didn't read the whole thread so if this is reduntant i appologize... is there a way to "swap models" in-game through an ability? then either find a way to make a model transparent or a texture highly reflective to it's ambient surroundings?
again, currently 7ds only runs with 1.05 i have both 1.1 and 1.05. to do that, upgrade your game to 1.1, then copy your ENTIRE stardock/ironclad program file, and save it as a backup or zip. then, uninstall the game and reinstall. update to 1.05, again back it up. now you should have three files. all i have to do is swap one for another and i can switch versions within a minute. Most of us at 7DS use hamachi for convenience, but i do believe that

hey guys, i don't think i've ever posted here before. at any rate i'm leading the charge on integrating the empire in 7ds, thanks to danman and evillejedi. i see several familliar screennames here from our site, thanks to the regulars who help me find/squash my bugs :) at any rate I may come back again and post here next year sometime :P if anyone needs me it's [email protected] xfire - dukeskymocker or look for me on the current 7DS
I'm recoding the empire (thanks to evillejedi) for danman's 7 deadly sins mod. that being said i have figured out most of the code on my own and with some help from the community. I would like to know what the name of the coding language used in the entity files is, and if there's any chance of finding a resource or guide on how to add to/improve both game options and performance. thanks for any help! - matt
