Babylon 5 Starship Commander (pre-Alpha 0.1)
by Cyberkada · 02/04/2008 (3:30 pm) · 8 comments
This will be the last posting prior to the Alpha 0.1 release.
There are 48 Bots (fighters), 4 capShips, and 1 base in this screenshot.
Added the following since the last update:
A working (and auto-updating <--- REAL HARD) navigation display that shows the player ship's position, heading and pitch.
To get this to work with GUI panels was a pain so I pretty much had to create my own which merges the updating of shapebase and with GUIPanels.
Now that I know my location, whats next before A 0.1? Jumpgates, (mission-linking), short-range scanners (the commander map), and turrets for my capShips.

Thanks all. I will try to post my guiMFD as a resource, but have to rip out a lot of game-specific stuff first (requires the faction and reticle resources). The text that is displayed (in all cases is from the drawName() method, and not *.text. Thats the only way I got it to update. You can toggle navStats screen (space is shared with chat and weapons) and the reticles on and off.

I'm keeping a close eye on this. I'm a huge B5 fan.
