Re: [Flightgear-devel] An-2 v0.2 ready!
* Melchior FRANZ -- Saturday 28 April 2007: splash textures can now also be greyscale and greyscale/alpha, and they also respect an alpha layer. That way one can use countours (squadron emblems, etc.) together with varying background colors (--prop:/sim/gui/style/colors/splash-screen/red=0.5 etc.) Here's an example: http://members.aon.at/mfranz/a6-splash.jpg [24.6 kB] m. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

The size difference is more than significant. I grabbed the A-6E/splash.rgb from cvs to see what you're talking about. I do see what you're doing with the alpha. It is one way to save space. However, I don't see the greyscale. Perhaps this isn't meant as an example of that. It is just another 8/8/8/8 bit file, that doesn't look special to me. BUT, when I posed above a green runway, and made my own transparent splash screen file... _I_ got a Seg.Fault!! After trying this and that, I find if I save with Aggressive RLE Compression, then it crashes Flightgear 0.9.10. If I save with just RLE compression, it works file, and only costs a few bytes. So, If Alpha == 0 then save Agressive RLE is ok else if alpha =1 then save RLE compression. So while the SGI format may not support 8/8/8/1, the identify program does make the distinction, that seems to have relevance to splash screens (in the old loader). So it's indeed required not to use the aggressive RLE option for the splash screen images [...] Nope. But GIMP apparently generates corrupted files where compressed scanlines aren't properly closed. (This is probably the reason why they falsely claim that SGI doesn't support those. Yes, some spec compliant readers may not like the corrupted GIMP files. ;-) So the documentation for how to save as sgi format is needing some clarification regarding images with transparency.

* Stewart Andreason -- Sunday 29 April 2007: I do see what you're doing with the alpha. It is one way to save space. The main purpose is to have transparency. However, I don't see the greyscale. Perhaps this isn't meant as an example of that. Exactly. If you want a demonstration for that, just turn the color down on your monitor. :-} After trying this and that, I find if I save with Aggressive RLE Compression, then it crashes Flightgear 0.9.10. Did you miss my message where I explained the cause and reported the fix? Of course, I could only fix fgfs in cvs, and not the copy of 0.9.10 on your harddisk, which will remain broken till the end of time. :-P m. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

The definite resource to send runway/taxiway updates to is explained here: http://www.x-plane.org/home/robinp/index.htm#Updates I'd kindly ask to send your the respective airport layout updates to Robin.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Nasal in OBJECT_STATIC and AI models
* Martin Spott -- Sunday 29 April 2007: Is animation of such static objects coupled with some sort of LOD mechanism ? Not a forced one. The load part is executed when the object's tile is loaded, and the unload part when the tile is removed from memory. The unload part has to actively stop what was started in the load part, otherwise it keeps running (and that's a feature). But the removal of a tile happens only when you are quite far away, so if the mechanism is used a lot, then such running code might accumulate. But then again, random or shared objects don't support embedded Nasal at all, and only few static objects will ever use it. I don't think we should worry already. After many years the bay area has still only one airport with buildings ... ;-) m. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Hi Stefan, Would you be willing to hack/fixup/modify the original script so that it produces correct results directly?
