Right now I'm working on the NanoTransen long range teleportation-center on Earth you start in (equivelant to arrival shuttle) from which you teleport onto the station..


Also, Sukasa, if you want to help model.. theres a software to make it easy called primcomposer you can get if you want.. Never used it myself.
The only time I ever modeled was with Zbrush (and I sucked at it).

So this is in SL eh? Interesting ambition, I wish you lots of luck.

The biggest problem I can see is cheating being even worse due to the fact that you could probably just manipulate the camera in such a way as to see whatever is going on :< A well-scripted HUD attachment script would probably help with that, if it notified everyone of cheaters.

I think west said it was SL-like, not SL-based actually

[westsider_gw]

Well, I'm making it from the OpenSimulator engine.. so it actually uses a Second Life viewer..
It was designed as a 'clone' of Second Life, that uses almost the exact resources.

Over the last 5 years or so though, I've mastered SL's LSL scripting language (ported over to OpenSim now and compiles in .NET),
and with the customizeability and the viewer code being OpenSource, it makes a strong platform.

To solve the camera problem, I'm thinking of either 1.) Camera controls in the HUD for 3rd person..
or 2.) Modifying the viewer code so its ONLY in 1st person. No camera control other than that of an FPS.

Still though, despite appearance, its pretty different in code and function from Second Life.

Second life is evil, too many resources.

[westsider_gw]

It 'can' be evil.
But regardless this isnt second life.

Im hoping to get it operational soon..
We've got a little team together so hopefully things will speed up. I just made that little scene today after finishing getting the networking BS
working (MySQL + PHP has to be the most evil thing ever).

I'm currently testing the server stability by running it for extended periods of time in local mode.

Well. if you need help with MySQL & PHP gimme a ring.

Looks sweet.

[westsider_gw]

Well. if you need help with MySQL & PHP gimme a ring.

I got it all setup now, but thanks anyway.
The shell of the stations taking form now

This is interesting, don't stop.

[Evilgrim]

Ohh wow, I request more!
Keep up the great work.

I'd help but I can't texture or model.
 

[Tilla]

Well then, that addressed my concerns quite well actually Excited to see it, if you need a tester I know my way around a sim and have tinkered with OpenGrid stuff before

[bgfan]

I'll get to work on the rest of the models on the list you gave me as soon as I get back from my 2 week vacation that I'm going on tomorrow.

I'm learning to make electronic music / use studios etc..I was thinking on making a chillout, 'space themed' song..
It may take a while because I have a LOT to learn, but I'll send you a link if I make it someday, if you ever think in putting some background music...

[westsider_gw]

Its currently got some streaming .m3u playlist I found on some random internet radio station titled, "Space Ambiance"..
But if you make something and it fits the theme I'd be glad to throw it in

Oh also:

if you need a tester I know my way around a sim and have tinkered with OpenGrid stuff before

I'll be sure to let you know when its test-able. Right now theres not much there yet.
