BTW: Yeah, my first posted topic, and I've crossed the 100 replies border...hehehe

Alhexx, why don't you head on to this thread and see if you can help me continue my work here?

BTW, fice, my college posted a list of the top 50 Uni's in UK. IIRC, you said you were in Warwick right? Well, Warcwick got a 10th placing  

*Edit*
It was 50 not 5

[ficedula]

Yeah, we're a quite good uni overall. The Computing department's usually placed as top three in the UK though. Mwahahaha.

dead link. try naming it something alpha-numeric.

[Alhexx]

Fice: OpenGL-related question:
Using the glcolor command (or any other alternative command), is it possible to give the vertexes transparency?

I'm askin' b'cause I think that the reserved Byte in the Color Pool is transparency...

- Alhexx

[ficedula]

Yes. If you're using floating point colours (you should), use

glColor4f(Red, Green, Blue, Alpha);

Alpha is the transparency level.
Of course, *any* glColor4? command works for alpha.

However, you also need to enable blending

glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

...is the best setup for straight transparency.

However: do note, if you're doing proper transparency, the polygons *do* need to be drawn in depth order. IE: When you draw a transparent polygon, all the polygons "behind" it need to have been drawn already, so OpenGL can calculate what the new polygon you're drawing will look like.

[tulkk]

yeah.. i can't d/l the latest version of ultima either... :/

ohh.. and btw.. thnx for the greet in the readme  

[Alhexx]

Fice: Yo, thanx!

[tulkk]

Alhexx: Cool   i'l dl right away  

[Alhexx]

Hehehe, Ultima 027 ßETA 4 released...that means two realeases in less than two hours...

- Alhexx

BTW: Now I'm a Fast Newbie - I got rid of those yellow stars...

[tulkk]

  Man, you're releasing 'em as often as a pensioner goes to the bathroom   hehe..

The proggie is coming along great, i'm impressed.. i mean were do you get the motivation and maybe more important.. the time to dev this proggie?

I can't wait til you add support for full model exporting (viewing/editing).. hehe..  

I think it's time... *cough* there's another god in the FF7hacking heaven.. Qhimm.. Fice.. make room for Alhexx up there..
and now.. let's gather around the camp fire sacrifice a herd of cute little mammals in front of it to celebrate  

[Anonymous]

doh, im still getting that runtime error '16'

[halkun]

Alhexx, I just wanted to add that you have the *ABSOLUTE WORST TASTE* in windows system colors I've ever seen. I haven't seen color clashes like that since I went through my "neon color scheme" phase when I was in High School. I mean, come on, yellow with a blue title bar. Yuucchh! And don't go swithing to that eggplant colorscheme either. Been done to death, how about a nice rose or wheat scheme. I shudder to think what your desktop looks like. ^_^

[Alhexx]

tulkk: GOD? YEAH...but really, I don't think I can really compete with Fice and Qhimm...although I'm workin on it...  
And there's another point: Qhimm, Fice and some others are workin one more than only one file type. I think, my speciality will stay 3d models...but I'm gonna work on it, until I crack everything...whole models, animations and so on...man, that's going to be hard work

darkness: Hmm, strange...I have never had this error...when exactly does the error occur? If u tell me, I probably be able to help you...

halkun: WHAT?  
Hey, I have the yellow color since about three weeks...before I had neon green (Qbasic-Color 10) that' looked...well...okay
To my Desktop: I've got a picture of Katie Price...

- Alhexx (@ School)

BTW: First an info: I'm livin' in Germany. And I've got one question: Has FF9 PC been released anywhere in th world? (Japan, UK, USA?) Any release dates or sth?

- edit -
Square wanted to release FF9 PC in Germany in February, but they didn't...and there'r no news from then on...

You forgot our favourite R & D person, halkun

[ficedula]

Alhexx: No probs   Looks like Ultima's coming along pretty well.

How do you pronounce Ficedula? Hmmm. Well, I pronounce it:

Feece-uh-due-la

but my parents pronounce it

Fee-sed-du-la

Take your pick   My mum speaks Latin (well, more than I do) so she might be right ... but I like my way better anyway  

[halkun]

I pronouce is "Fice" as in rhymes with "vice" as far as his full name, never tried to pronouce it. I call him "fu-de-see-a" to myself but never said it out loud. Execpt now. ^_^

[Anonymous]

in the viewer it gives me the error when i open a .p file. in ultima 0.27 its gives me the error when it opens, and closes the program.

[Alhexx]

I pronounce 'Fice' like 'Vice', too, but now I alos now how 'Feece-uh-due-la' is pronounced...that's good...  

darkness: Alright, I'm going to have a look  on that...

tulkk2: I think I've got to add something:
Ultima 0.27 ßETA 4 is just a viewer 'till now - it hasn't got any editing options 'till now, but I hope I'll add these in one of the next three version (maybe this weekend - I'll have much time on saturday  )

SaiNt: R & D Person?   (Who?)

[Anonymous]

research and development

[tulkk]

Alhexx: ohh... ok.  

halkun: i don't wanna get offtopic.. just one little question.. you sure knew alot about the psx.. ever dev'd for it?

[Srethron Askvelhtnod]

I guess I'm politically incorrect.     I've never pronounced it phonetically... not sure why: Fick-eh-doo-luh.

Alhexx: I don't *think* he's done any deving. At least, if he did, he never told us about it. He *did* work on one little    http://www.execpc.com/~halkun/PSX/index.html" TARGET=_blank>document  though.

[ficedula]

Srethron: Well, of all the people who've posted so far, your pronounciation is closest to mine   Not that it matters too much.

Edit: Ah, Halkun was the guy who wrote that document? Impressive   I got a copy of that doc about a year ago but I never made the connection between Halkun and the author of the doc.
