Oh, ok, I didn't realise it had a fallback option.

I think the Intel thing is specific to their hardware... I don't know if there's much chance of translating it to work on anything else. The web page says "demonstrates high quality cloud rendering technique which uses Pixel Shader Ordering, a DirectX extension available on Intel HD graphics ha...

LLVM/Clang has been improving its support for Windows, and has an experimental driver that emulates cl.exe (Microsoft's C++ compiler). Apparently there are builds available to test (so you don't have to build Clang from scratch yourself) and Visual Studio can be configured to build using clang-cl.ex...

The current system Currently, ships have limits on different equipment "slots". These limits are specified in terms of the maximum number of items. For example, a ship might have a cargo bay that can accept up to 10 cargo items, and missiles racks that can take up to 4 missiles. For most ...

The glitching out of certain faces is probably due to the back-face culling. That doesn't care about the surface normal, which is used for lighting calculations, it cares about the winding order . I totally agree that it (at least part of the problem) does look like a back-face culling issue. Howev...

I'm creating this thread for questions about how to migrate Lua scripts to work with the new equipment code. ----- First question is from walterar, and is taken from issue #3027 : I'm not sure how to migrate this, to new code: if (ship:GetEquipFree ("LASER") < ShipDef [ship.shipId] equipSl...

As you say, NPCs still have to be able to dock, so we will always need the code to do that. I don't see any advantage in dropping autopilot docking for the player. The only reason I can think of for doing it is to force some gameplay onto people, but I would guess most players will have trading runs...

Not excatly on topic, but my autopilot couldn't land on a planet that was on a very close orbit around a brown dwarf. Is this a bug or a feature? Should I open a Github thingy? I have a save of it. Might be a bug. Might be that your ship didn't have high enough thrust to land safely. Opening a gith...

The video for that thesis looks really good. Is that what you're intending to implement?

Ok, I've made an attempt at this: https://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer/pull/2846

If you have facilities to build the game from source, then your help testing the change would be appreciated.
