Blimey… A new model builder has been sourced and the models are yet again being rebuilt…
Why??? – Simples (like the meerkats) This is designed specifically for the engine and means that it automatically creates the extra files needed to make it look graphically pleasing. there’s a new fx language to learn, the book was useless and a waste of money 
so this way, the models will be perfect in terms of pixels and now there’s no need to learn as much with the new lingo.
It’s also reduced the number of vertices for each model as we want it to be as smooth for as many machines as possible.
Also, no cheating will be allowed either – YAY…. As this will be written from the ground up, it will simply run rubbish on anything that is “overclocked” in the registry and be detrimental to the cheaters playing… No “spamming of packets” will work either….
Still on track to release either a video or a working model of a standalone demo of the initial area so that peeps can get a feel of the handling. nothing will blow up though
We have space dust in space now. no crackling, but gives a sense of movement. what we are initially aiming for is a PVP release, nothing more or less. This will then allow everyone to test the networking etc… and bring us to a point where we were with the current mod. We can add the other stuff in after…
Off on hols next month for a couple of weeks thanks to ebay and a cheap caravan… you should all try it sometime
