PGGC #3: Planet page 4

Its working for me, I just tested with an FP 11.5 swf. We recently added support for the newest compression so everything should be working. If you can’t get a certain file to upload you should shoot me or BobTheCoolGuy a PM.

I have no idea how to go about the planets, so I guess those will be a last minute thing.

The trick is, the SWF is for FP10, I was adding several shaders to it after last time, so its size raised to 20k release/30k debug, and neither debug nor release config was accepted by FastSWF. BobTheCoolGuy contacted me this night, just sent him a reply.

Yep, that was a proxy transferral issue. I did upload the very same SWF from home computer. Here http://www.fastswf.com/cugeu_M I daresay it’s a beta already :P as I’m nearly out of ideas, and probably out of time to put in more stuff. The planet is literally a barebone, I might still add something though. There are four kinds of planets, earth type, gas giants, barren and exposed (“moon” type). The latter takes the most time to generate, as I didn’t thought a better way than to literally bombard the heightmap.

What’s the black rectangle at the bottom?

Interesting. It’s a texture bug that I seemingly introduced in an attempt to switch sin/cos calls in shaders into texture sampling. http://www.fastswf.com/cugeu_M Updated.

This seems to be what I’m capable of. Merry Christmas!

When exactly is the deadline when I live in GMT +1 (Norway)?

Check the pic in the first post. That’s the deadline for everyone. (12 hours from now)

Won’t be able to work anymore on this project.
I stopped working on it and started again today so I really couldn’t do all I intended to do. So there is no background yet and I really wanted to do more but here it is. I’ll call it “Gas planets 3000”.

Btw is it here I post entries? This is my entry.
