*** Vendetta 1.7.20

- Fixed broken weapon effects
- Fixed pixel shader 1.1 bug
- Fixed bug where storm effects wouldn't appear but storm
exit nav point would
- Fixed bug where effect detail setting would not take
effect on particle systems (like the swarm missiles)
- Hive and Border Skirmish should end all the time now,
for real this time

Tried a couple of HS missions. H3 and J2 at approx 0900 gmt. both missions worked with correct bot kill and completion bonus messages . However the bots remaining in the sector after the completion message did not warp out , they just stayed in sector and continued to attack , though no more appeared to warp in .

I stayed in sector for a few minutes , so maybe they do warp out eventually , I'll have another go later

hey rockets kinda fade out now and don't just go poof. Hmm .. I just thought of an awesome suggestion!

good thing the gauss is back to normal, those effects kinda sucked! The only one I liked was the one on jackhammers, it made them look like those dumbfire rockets from freespace.

"More work with Kourier and friendly fire / factions is ongoing. Watch for more on that."

I might just start playing again if *friendly fire/faction* update happens soon. :)

bojansplash: That's my next task. (if you mean what I think you mean)

I do Ray. :)

Now, I admit, hate of bojan isn't exactly the most wide-spread of virtues in the world, but surely spite is a universal quality?

Eh, whatever. I'll just pretend that "if you mean what I think you mean" implies that bojan here means "please, put working on the faction system and friendly fire for as long as you possibly can so that I end up tired of waiting and bugger off for good, forums and all."

I love you too genka, you are my favorite durak.

I try to avoid the politics of our players.

What I meant was I hope he was referencing what I'm working on.

Maybe I should just go back to my silent self.

I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have applied my own sick standards to the minds of other people.

"Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Thanks for the timely fixes.

"Yeah, Brain, but how will we get the turtles into the bottle?"

Excellent work, and I'm looking forward to what magick you will throw at the faction/standing/FF system.

Hey, BE NICE to RAY!!! Don't make me come over there.

Narf!

Demonen: I hear blenders work wonders these days... especially the new models from Corvus.

The Corvus Meat-Mincer 8000: Trader pureé on the go.

say, devs, while you guys tinker in the visual effects department, think you can have a look/discussion about the mining effect?

having it not shoot out from our canopy would be nice.

just a thought.

Uhu, for the 3rd person view the same goes for neuts..

Hmm. The effect is always supposed to come out of an addon port. However, not all ports actually have a gun on it.
I'll check on the addon port positions to see if there's a misplaced one.

I think what upper case is talking about is how in the 1st-person view we can see the end of the beam where the addon port is.
