Hey chief...
a little more work on that main menu screen today I think. Did you come up with any suggestions as to what I can put in instead of wires?
Post a piccy here.
I think it looked good with that kinda bar thing in between (as per the original main menu thing you did)
ive rejigged it a bit...
Actually, that looks pretty good!
Can you put some kind of a texture on the panels maybe, they seem to look a little plain...
what sort of texture? just a bit of noise?
apologies for the screwy jpeg compression, but I hope you get the idea...
That's better!
I like that, can you seperate the frame and joins and stuff and send it to me zipped at home or work. I'll also need all the buttons and their hover affect as well.
Good man!
Do you want to explain that to me again?! what do you want from me?Quote:

Yeesh, it's not hard! :rolleyes:
Send it to me without the nebula in the background or the sentience bar.
Cropped to size, with a white background (so I can blit it).
I'll also need a seperate graphic for all the buttons with an on/off state for each.
You have them in layers anyway so it shouldn't be too difficult... :p
You were very vague about it. What have joints got to do with anything?!
OK. It'll be about 15 minutes work, but I'm having a play with my CV at the moment...
Cool, well I'm meeting Fe in a few mins so that'll be me for the night - you can take your time.
I'm meeting Pete and Jo in Yates in Oldham at 8 if you want to pop in for a couple of biftas. You prob won't but the offer's there.
Feel free to send any graphics you get done tonight to my home / work accounts so I'll have them to plug in when I get chance.
Minter! Catch you laters dude!
Hehe..Fe...Iron
Theoretically its another web meeting tonight, so probably not.
I'll sort your graphics in a bit...
I got the graphics you sent and as usual you managed to deliver nothing like what I asked for. :rolleyes:
I'll bullet point them for you...
* One panel sans background and buttons with a white background (you were nearly there)
* One set of all the buttons set to off (white background)
* One set of all the buttons set to on(white background)
There we go...
What do you mean by "set of buttons"? individually as I have done? If so, you're simply missing the off ones, but I don't know what you mean by white background. You make no sense. :p
THEY NEED A WHITE BACKGROUND!!!
Otherwise I can transparenterise it.... ;)
1) don't *****ing shout at me, I'm p*ssed off enough as it is today.
2) how can a black rectangle with green writing on have a white background? its cropped to size.
1) Oh dear.
2) Forget the white background then.
basically, you want the off buttons separate, and ideally white spaces where the buttons should be (although thats not really important as its going to be covered at all times...)
more or less yeah...
I can't do anything about it today I'm afraid, its the works do tonight, so I'll get on with it tomorrow after work.
Bear in mind that I finish at 7:30pm though :(
Cool as!
Well, I'm getting plastered at one of my works dos this evening, so I don't give a monkeys!
Have fun tonight...
Man, my arse is deadly this morning...:rolleyes:
idea:
an enemy faction is stampeding towards your base in a half-dozen Daishi-style super mechs. Then you pull out your defensive super-weapon. 6 tiny scout mechs zoom across the battlefield, each engaging an attacking unit. As soon as the reach close-compat range, they discharge an EMP charge, destroying themselves, but totally immobilising the enemy troops (for a limited period of time), granting the besieged faction time to establish enough base-defense to see the threat off...
A close-combat type EMP charge weapon :D
you still alive out there in PC land?
you get my pics?
Not yet my friend, not yet...
I need to check my mail first...
The EMP shouldn't destroy the mech using it, but I was considering having one the specials that you can carry as EMP shielding. If your mech doesn't have it, it gets shut down regardless of whether it's firing the EMP or receiving it.
Whether the small mech is destroyed or not, it's gonna get stomped as soon as the big mech regains control of its limbs! The idea was that even a small mech could fire a massive EMP charge at close range (although most probably sacrificing itself).
I can see Sentience being a hugely strategic game in the respect that a number of tactics involve small mechs (remember the rust missile strike? :D )
Get it checked then. I need your current home email address too... I sent it to your btinternet and work accounts cos I dont have the other one.Quote:

Got the stuff now - I'll plug em in when I get the chance.
I don't use my gibbonbash eMail address so there's no point giving it to you...
ok, so btinternet is right then?
Yep, BTInternet is fine.
I'll try and plug the main menu together this evening for ya.
Whatchoo up to today - you at work?
yep, workaroo today...
Cool.
Was laying kitchen tiles last night. My, that was fun! :rolleyes:
I was looking at the tech tree for SMAC last night. It's a hell of a lot bigger than ours.
Was maybe thinking we should have some more...?
*kick* *kick* *knee to groin*
If you have the ability to post then I think we could do with knocking up a list of special weapons, and what they do.
These can be coded seperately and plugged in later, so I'm keen to start on the little modular bits.
I haven't even begun with diplomacy yet as it's going to be a monster to do...
If I keep my posts short, I'm able to post.
Tremendous.
But you could at least make them useful.... :rolleyes:
sorry pal, just went MENTAL in here,
probably not able to post
I wanna cry...
Its (been) the busiest weekend of the whole f*kin year and I've had to work every god-forsaken minute of it.
This is what really bugs me. Between 6 months and a year ago, I constructed an Excel sheet with all the weapons we had come up with so far (including special weapons). You seemed dead grateful for it at the time. Have a look through your inbox or something, cos I don't have a copy of it (its probably still on the server at college heh heh...)Quote:
