If I were you I'd probably wait until I have more than 5 posts to yell at other people.

Since he only ever talked about regulation of the thread and considering the name, I wouldn't be surprised if he was Hatbat's alt.

Episode 24's first anniversary will come in 16 days.

Do we have some kind of up to date affiliation list? The last one was posted a year and four months ago by Hatbat. Has any new company other than AL joined either side?

@NotAnAimbot, I'm not sure if I count, as none of my ships have been submitted yet, but my company, CMAU Incorporated, is wholeheartedly behind HKA.

Well, to make matters clear, I've decided to run a little poll while we're waiting for 1.2 to hopefully fix the bug.

[Mobius]

With Mycroft on HKA's side, that puts the split at an even 14 vs 14. Nice!

[Mycroft]

@NotAnAimbot, nice poll! Maybe @HatBat can add it to the OP, hint hint....  Ummm, I checked, and for whatever reason, I cannot find out which side Aimbot Labs is aligned with. Could you please enlighten me? Or am I just being dumb, and missing the obvious, like normal? 

@Mobius thanks for the mention! Hope to make it a fair fight! Since you seem to be a good chap, would you mind if I sent you the proposed back story for my company? I would like your opinion. Thanks!

Check the hub

Okay, so now I just feel really stupid. I honestly have no idea what the "hub" even is. I double-checked your profile, your post announcing the companies for each side, the poll results, and the OP. All to no avail. I'm sorry. Could you explain what the hub is? I'm sorry, but I have no clue what you are talking about. Maybe I know what it is, but I just don't know it by that name. I don't know. Help?

It's in my signature. It's basically where I upload all of my vehicles and where I have my bio.

I have decided to design ships for HKA as my "company", JAI.

Sure thing! Send away, I'll give my best suggestions.

Hey @HatBat, is building cheaper export variants of vehicles available to any faction allowed?

What do you mean? If you mean cheaper versions of craft already submitted, then I highly doubt it. At least I hope not. Cause just like in the real world, that would essentially mean that the ideas were stolen then produced for cheaper, taking away the original manufacturer's market, publicity, and influence, and keeping it for yourself. Now you can try to compete with your own original ideas, and that's fine, but please don't take others' hard work. So please please please tell me it doesn't mean what I think it does. The only way this could be okay in the real world is if the original manufacturer asked you to improve on their designs. If you mean something else, then I'm afraid that I have no idea what you mean. Could you please enlighten me?

Not really, since I'm talking about making some of my own vehicles available for the other side, as many weapons manufacturers do. See the T-72M, T-90MS, Su-30MKK, Su-27SK, etc. You make some profits, but don't give out all your secrets. Most of those have weaker armor, engines or guns, or are just outdated production versions.

I assume you could release an aircraft and classify it as an older model or slightly weaker model for the sake of lore.

If you really want to play both sides, just make a proxy account.

Now that 1.2 is out, has @HatBat fixed his issues with transparency?

Time...1.2 dropped yesterday

Pleasant surprise after loading up the new version. This is unbelievable. This bug was confirmed by Squad over a month ago and they couldn't even get around to fixing it for their big polishing and possibly final update. To put that in perspective: it took Squad approx 264+ working hours to not fix this bug.

Would you not just turn off trees at this point and substitute it for a mock village or something.

I have a feeling that's what happens when you try to turn a flat picture into a 3D model. Perhaps you could ask a dev of a code mod like module manager how to fix it.

Thought: Get a 2D, high res pic of the top section of a tree, and a high res 2D pic of a tree trunk, clip their borders to match the pictured tree, and place them in place of the scatter. Have them follow the camera, so that no matter where the camera is, the picture faces it. This would need to also be applied to vertical motion, and the top picture of the bush part of the tree would gradually occlude the trunk picture the higher you went, giving you realistic parallax effects.

I dunno. I'm no expert. I haven't the faintest idea of how you could code it in, except for the fact that you would use it to replace the scatterer code.

Oh for love's sake.

 

I get that the devs are stressed from the update, but come on. How do you manage that? It's even worse than it was before!

Yeah, I'm just going to get on with it. Working on making a Skyrim mod at the moment though, so I want to make a bit more progress with that first.

I can't view the image because I'm on school wifi and imgur is blocked, but if the glitch is the same as it was previously I don't think it will be much of a problem as long as you don't give any attention to it.

Not the same. Worse.
