It can be somewhat... elusive, though. Could the hint be brought a little closer, maybe the hint "look at the forum" could link to an appropriate thread, for an example?

I don't know how smart these bots can be, if the answer was spelled out on the same page only worded differently would they get in?

is there a final verdict on how many tris we can have in an object like a car? 1000? 1500?

Someone tried, but left, though his prototypes were nice.

2.5 is available as beta already anyway and the release will be out when it's ready, I prefer the increased difficulty, I can't comment on the code since I haven't even seen it and I don't even know what a Windows IDE is but since it has a) Windows and b) IDE (I have SATA by now ) in it I'm not going to care am I

But the wiki really is kinda inaccessible, I can't find anything there.

Sure. I take it, no one has been making new cars? There was talk about replacing some of the boxiest cars with something nicer, if someone made them...

Heyall,

I haven't been on the forum or playing the game in a while, recently I've started to get in modelling (blender) and I remembered ufo:ai needed models of futuristic cars for the maps. Is this still the situation or have the eighties and nineties already had their cars back?

afaik it'll start heading directly towards the ufo instead of going for an intercept course, if the ufo is too fast/far to be intercepted.

Is aircraft repair time affected by anything the player does? Like, if I had 40 engineers in the same base as the aircraft...?

ok.

I came across these, they're neither futuristic nor cc-licensed, but regarding level of detail / poly count, this is what we're looking for, right?

Thought as much. As a guideline, what would be an acceptable maximum poly count for a map object such as a car?

What sort of poly counts would be acceptable? Most models I see around have lots... Here are a few such cars:

intact and wrecked rx-8

a whole bunch of futuristic cars at blendswap:

Hehe, yes. We're not quite in 2084. We're not even in 2013!

Would it be possible to use existing models released under creative commons or the like? There seem to be quite a few models of cars floating around the web, so just a thought..?

Tactics / Re: building a workshop base

« on: June 17, 2013, 02:36:59 pm »

For base 3 ( workshops) I go for maximum efficiency.. no soldiers, no batteries, no radar.. no defense.  To be honest I am unsure what effect having those (soldiers, running intercepts,  radar) exactly has on the so called 'weight'  umm like does having a missile battery make the base more likely to be attacked?  Does having SAM installations around the base lead to the aliens having a greater interest level in that base?

afaik it is not necessary for aliens to actually fly to a base to attack it; if that's the case such base would be instantly lost?
