    Hello, i need some help in modding. I saw great thing in Crossfire - animated hyperspace starsphere! SWAT, can you help please to create something like that? I've now big HD image in .png, how to transfer it to Freelancer and animate?

    phew*
    in first place you need an absolutely correct uv mapped starsphere to allow seamless animation
    and speaking of seamless... you also need to have a seamless texture (prefered as .tga or .dds -> png is not compatible with FL)


    when you have all that and you can see the correctly textured starsphere you can start to create material animations


    you could open an existing base like the one that is used for manhattan and search for the "materialanim" node
    copy it to your own mat file and rename the node name to the one you used as material name
    then you have to play with the materialanim values until you get the results that you want

    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.
