hey got sombody x-wing alliance i needed to get the dust of it, but its got a great 3d models wich ya can use if you like, its got the tie fighters of course, but it also has the eagle look up the eagle pic and ya see its a ship of starwars.
(a correlian gunship a correlian gunship doesnt have smaller cannons its like the heaviest armed ship exept a star destroyer)
and there ar manny more 3d models ya can use.
if that doesnt work (if ya have the game) you could use the mission briefing thing thats animated and it doesnt look to tricky. |

Battle Visualisation is not one of the easiest things to do. It is on the wishlist for almost 2 years.

I really don't care how you do it.
But some sort of graphics would be awesome! The fact that there were no pictures or anything is the reason why three of my friends left the game!
Graphics! This is the no.1 thing that spacetrace needs.
Well apart from more players. |

the idea is coming up again: | Liderant wrote: | one of the things noobs dont like about this game is the lag of images and animations. Thats why an animation for each battle report would explain things like the battle order in an entertaining way.
Idea:
-make a 2 dimensions animation for each ship moving, firing and exploding.
-make it like 30*30 pixels
-make an animation for the diferent actions. (example: an animation for jaming)
-make a frame for every subbattle (example: your class 2 vs enemy class 1)
-make a frame for every action:
40 troikas separate into 120 ships
29 shields generated
23 units repaired
8 clone-ships clone fighters
The idea is to use the basic animation of each ship but using as a variable:
1-the number of ships
2-the ships against they are fighting
So the plan is to mix all those little animations to make an animated battereport that will vary depending on the battle situtation.
I am not sure how to program that, so i would like to have help of the admins. Those who can make animations like compu_head are welcome and needed to help.
There should be like a buttom to see the animation, so slow computers will not have to see them.
I thing this will be a big improvement to the game so ill really like that this idea takes a better form with your opinions.

| Rubens wrote: | @liderant but this is designed for text based games. So if we put the battle visualisation it should be an option and not requirement of the page. I mean i have W95 and it would does the page really heavy at battle time.
Sso at the preferences you could switch those options
Indeed it will aprobed by many ppl, and the population of ST will grow up, sadly it would be by the graphics and not for the strategy.
But, who will do this? |
still it would be great to have this programmed somehow. the basics are set with the battle.js javascript plugin |

I'll point Compu_Head towards this topic and ask if he can do anything in his spare time. I'm making no promises except for the fact that that kid has got a brain.
He might come up with something.

if something like this is to be implemented it could be more than just looking at a visual representation of your battlereports.
im thinking with the same system you could have a look at any sector you have fleets or probes in and see that sector visualised in nice 2d or even 3d graphics. you could see a visual representation of your fleets hanging around some planet and if you have a DSP then you can also see enemy fleets represented by generic ships for each class.
in perfection this would be seamlessly integrated with the colony(game) map. so that you can zoom in on the map so far that you see real images of fleets and planets and nice nebulas and asteroids.
battle visualisation should be structured in a way that also teaches new players about class combat and the way ships modify each-other.
ohh. this could all be soo nice : )
cant even imagine how much work it is to program though...
but still nice to fantasize
cheers!

| This could be in the App. Simple battles like are seen in Civilization or in http://www.pelantas.com/. Some sort of visual is key. |
