To raise your resolution (assuming you can on that netbook), you'll want to right click on an empty portion of your desktop > screen resolution (on Win7 anyways, XP I think is either in properties or one of the similar named menus there). If you are already as high as you can go, the screen of the netbook probably doesn't support any higher.

[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="25" id="3286606"]Also, is there a way to force Softimage to run on netbooks? My netbook can run 3DS Max 2012, and yet, Softimage gives me some bollocks about required screen resolution.[/quote] Sounds less like a netbook problem and more like a native resolution problem. I find that laptops/netbooks have much smaller resolution capabilities than that of a desktop monitor, but you may be able to push it up.

I do everything in max that I can and restrict activity in XSI to doing the following; - Freeze mesh(s) - Apply tangents to the existing UV's (yes, this means applying the tangent to the UV it's already defaulted to - if you DON'T do this, it doesn't actually apply and results in severe bugs. lolXSI) - Remove unused materials - Remove unused clips/sources - Export to .XSI The entire process takes may

Well, by grayscale I meant.... butts. At some point I'll give this a shot and massacre the trial of Filter Forge for textures. Meanwhile, I am curious if I am lump all 4 roletypes of the Envoy, Colony ship, starbase builder, and siege onto one ship to free up slots for non-AI behavior intermingled ships. /e Well, giving the scout 7 roletypes ended in unceremonious crashes. /e

Well, I confirmed for a fact that XSI 2012 exports don't work (or at least not with my pipeline/changes). I'm pretty sure that, if it's just the order that got changed, that it was related to how the material information was conveyed. Now, I'm currently trying to figure out why sins keeps crashing 30 seconds - a minute in, regardless of races, new games, or saves. I thought it was the corvette roletype not existing, but I added that back in, and it's still explodin

How are Rebellion normals created? They look like grayscale normals but 3 of the channels are identical. Is it enough to grayscale a regular normal? Does XSI 2011 or 2012 co-operate with ConvertXSI? Is max smoothing data still converting properly? Do max normals have an impact? Does the game even use tangents anymore? If I turn a planet into a very large hollow object that occupies the vicinity outside of the gravity well, does it get culled if the camera is not seeing the ori

Eclipse was just too convoluted to bother with. It didn't really offer me any advantage over just editing the txt's as-is with quite the price tag in terms of setup time and getting accustomed to it. Now, if you can make an editor that is comparable with Brood War's datedit, that would easily be the superior choice to both alternatives.

Reply to To Whom It May Concern -- How to get rid of those annoying missile effects in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Something I discovered very quickly in Black Sun. As for the damage delay, I think the game may either fire invisible damage "projectiles" or have an estimated timer in some vain attempt to sync damage between graphics and the actual weapon numbers. This is more easily broken with longer travel time. I used the "overtime" damage type for many weapons to avoid this as much as possible, and also made most weapons have very fast travel times to alleviate the issue (and als

In Homeworld 2 there was two ways to place turrets, and both I believe required them to be independent models. Even the barrels were separate.

Sometimes you need to take a break if you are burning yourself out in that case, Volt. Passion is a requirement, not just an option, for making quality content. If people are finding they don't have the passion to work with something down to the finest details, and they are finding that the work is becoming more of a chore than living a dream, it's time to part ways - at least temporarily.

I have a new real-life distraction to add to the list. My main hard drive with 2.5tb of invaluable storage/backups is basically dead and I am trying to recover it. It contains over 7 years of project work and resources, including a ton of stock video and a terabyte of music, as well as all of my private developer video media and such I've created in that timespan. Probably the end of my custom content creation.

I don't think I've played vanilla sins more than once every expansions save rebellion. I don't play mods either (I only checked some mods out pre-Salvation to see what they did with particles). Just much too slow and uninvolved for me, not nearly enough micro in combat. The non-synced damage and such is a real killer for gameplay.
