Possibly, it's hard to say with apple. Mac's don't support opengl well from apple's end, but that doesn't mean your cards driver can't. In a macbook pro it'll be one of the main ones, intel, ati, or nvidia. Ati or Nvidia with up-to-date drivers have a pretty good chance to run opengl 3.x In the case...

Is it fun for the player to be forced to wait for five min though? Being able to switch to an AI ship and and tow yourself back to base right away would be more fun if you ask me, or possibly have systems reset back to 10/20% when no threat remains. Well not really forced, you could self-destruct :...

Interestingly anyone at all (this includes you, prototype testers) with visual studio (or possibly just visual c++) has the option on program crashes (any program at all) to attach a debugger to the failed program to try and figure out what went wrong. Interpreting what you see is another matter, bu...

Don't tell EVERYONE, what do you think this is, some kind of public forum?

But yeah, I've been contemplating increasing the rigor of the hourly logs, like when I have to get up to use the bathroom or get a drink or stretch, I should probably log that. Maybe even when I stop for a moment to glance out the window. Only later did Josh realize his joke was really a scathing c...

It adds a little character to your wingmen/fleet that might otherwise lack.

Suggestion, spaceship asymmetry? Yes. I understand there will be a ship editor and we can probably make things just how we want, however asymmetric ships add a lot of character to a space game; so if some are in the game already when it ships it could provide a nice artistic boost. Semi-related inte...

The poor sexy layout qualifiers!
I'm surprised you don't use sampler objects, I guess they're not strictly needed though either, just more convenient than accessing sample settings from glTexParameter*​

How do I make one? I've seen a few times people saying to each other something like, "Well that could be interesting, you should make a poll for it." But I don't think I have that option as a basic user.
Or I'm a DAMNED fool!

Not sure which.

Okay, then the LT engines are not the parts that actually provide the propulsion. They merely exhaust the ionised gas that is a byproduct of the Bungee String Drive. The drive units are placed inside the ship but damaging their exhaust ports causes them to overheat and shutdown so it only looks lik...

This is essentially what I was going for, just a tiny bit less artsy :3

Double Edit: At least the forums shown a response from Katawa while I was posting. :shock: Haha, well I posted and gazz had ninjad me so I deleted it. Just fluff that there's heat/vibration absorbers on the hardpoint, more expensive gear is more delicate so it transfers more stress to the absorber ...

You can do all you do with glsl 1.5?
