Re: Tantive IV

Does anyone know if it´s possible to code a rotating skybox in the bf2142 engine?
In bf1942 it was possible.

the idea is to get the illusion of a moving Capital Ship.... 

Also it´s possible to create a teleporter , so when you trie to board a moving Capitalship you will be teleported in a hidden Location of the Map where the interior of the boarded Ship is located. When you trie to leave it again, you will be teleported back, maybe lost in Space or so smile
Maybe any of you remember this idea, I suggested it months ago in the German Forum.

Re: Tantive IV

the rotating sky box thing sounds cool if you are fighting inside a ship or something and it give the impression that it is moving.

It'd be a great 16 player map. And perhaps even 32 players.

Re: Tantive IV

The entire skybox wouldn't have to rotate. You'd just have to make the 'panels' of the skybox have their starfields be something like an animated .gif. If that's possible, it might be ok. Then again, if there are too many panels, you'd be able to see glitches where they meet. tongue

Animated textures are supported in 2142, so you don't even need an animated skybox, just panels with a moving star animation outside windows.

Secondly, I believe the teleportation is possible using Python.  Not 100 percent sure, though.
