Title: First picture of Donamy's Endeavour payload bay door op
Post by: Orbiter Fan on 15 March 2003, 22:43:53
      Hello. This is the very first picture of Donamy's Endeavour payload bay door
operation. It is still
under heavy construction and bug fixing   is taking place right now. This picture was taken by
utilizing Vinka's spacecraft.dll. If you have any questions, just ask and I'll try to answer them!
Will keep you posted on progress. Donamy and I are looking for someone to compile our source
code for Endeavour. If someone wants to volunteer, that would be great!!

Looks Beautiful... Including the blue thingie, whatever it may be.  

Glad Donamy's 'trial' seems to be resolved    :beer:

The blue box seen the picture is what I call a "debug box". I use it to get proper animation points
right. That one won't be in the final release. You need a powerfull graphics card to be able to display the 1024x1024 pixels textures.

I hate to 'shine-on' people with lower graphic card capabilities (me being one of them, with a Ge2
MX/100), But I'm all for 1024x1024 textures... especially if we can still have the 512s available for
creeps like me.  :)

...Can we use both Textures & Textures2 directories for this, like the DeltaGlider2 does ?

I will talk to Donamy to see if he can make both a med-res and a hi-res version of his textures. I'm
also one them with low graphic capabilities(4 MB ATI video card).

I have now informed Donamy about this forum. Hopefully he'll come along later.

Hehe... That should be your new Signature.    I still can't stop laughing.   :)
 ...I Especially liked it when you posted as "I steal the mesh" and couldn't go back to edit it.

I only wanted to clear it up. I worked on the thing for 3 months. Guess I made it too good !! 8)
