He is not using the middle mouse button at all, nor any keys...

His narration is nice, but he plays like a newbie

Good idea, but I have to look at the code to see how it could be done...

according to tutorial,
I "unzipped" them though, but to no effect. btw is 0pics.pk3 really supposed to become /base/textures/? not ../pics/?

If I set path in uforadiant to another location (where I've copied the .map files and .pk3 files are) it gives me an error "could not load ufos/entities.ufo"

1. No, it should become the base/pics folder ofc. That is a typo then which should be fixed (it is a wiki).
2. Please make sure you decompressed all pk3 files to base/ in your new subdirectory, so it contains ~/yournewdiryoupointradiantto/base/ufos and all the other decompressed pk3s (pics, textures, maps)

you have to decompress the .pk3 files then
those are ordinary .zip files
but I would recommend you do that somewhere below your home directory and point uforadiant there, because of write rights

If you do not have the source with decompressed files and folders you probably need to decompress the .pk3s in your ufoai installation dir, subdir /base.
To have write rights for those folders I would decompress the pk3s into some subdir below your home dir or ~.

hmm, did you enter the correct path in UFORadiant preferences ?

I hope you are aware that we need the roof to be separated from the rest (to be able to levelflag it and look inside the dropship in-game).
Also in v2.4+ we are using 2 different models showing different aircraft depending on their status (in-transit/landed).
A lowpoly version of the dropship for the geoscape would be needed also (with a 256x256 texture)...

Our model renderer supports glowmaps, specmaps and normalmaps (with height encoding in the alpha channel) as well btw

@kOba:

Please do not use .jpg as it is a lossy format and produces artifacts. Use .png instead.
Also we need to know the license you want to release your work under.

Wow 
Very nice.

Especially the loading picture. Is this showing one of the new heavy-armored soldier models ?
Also the background of the equipment screen looks new and fresh...

Please upload the source files.

Already did all of that MCR...except changing the txture to .png. 

We are using .png because it is a lossless, free format that compresses much better than .tga thus improving loading performance while delivering highest possible quality.
Also I had to change the texturepaths because of that and our specification where we use texturepaths that start with a dot and have no extension.

Sry also for hijacking your thread, but I needed a place to quickly attach the files to

Converted texture to png, fixed md2 modelpaths.
No glowmap and normalmap yet (later).
