@lafario That's strange... As spacesailor said, maybe closing and reopening im.ge helps. The only similiar thing that happened to me was when a gif wasn't shown at all, and there it helped.
@SpaceMann Von den Raketen hier solltest du keinen Virus bekommen. Wenn du etwas von dieser Website herunterlädst, wird noch nichts auf deinen Speicher geschrieben, es werden nur die Daten zu der Rakete aus der Datenbank von der Wehsite gelesen und in das Spiel selbst importiert. Stelle deine Fragen aber besser auf Englisch, sonst wirst du selten Antworten bekommen. Falls du kein Englisch kannst, kannst du ja auch einen Übersetzer benutzen.
@NewIIFrontiers On the right hand side of the craft editor there is a button that looks like an head. If you click on it, you can pull the member (left) to the seat/drood/command pod/...(right). If there are no members you have to hire an astronaut ("Hire Astronaut").
You‘ll receive your upvotes soon. Please have some patience, thanks to the Upvote limit it will take a while. I‘m going to tag Void and Chtite about the demos in an unlisted post
Thanks to @lawedgie for helping out giving the upvotes!
@BeaconIndustries I didn't expect so many submissions, so I tried to make it as easy as possible to participate. But I'm surely going to make more contests at some point, so at some point there will surely be one about Planet Studio or spaceships
Wow, that really deserves the bonus point. I should probably tell you why you weren't even further up (even though 7th is great!). You took pictures with a ton of hidden meanings and insane details, however, that wasn't the point of the challenge. I wanted you to "show one of your crafts or planets from its best side on a picture", to make a craft or planet look good. I hope you understand that I couldn't give full marks on a picture where the craft only is a little spot (helicopter) or where the craft is so dark all you can see it its shape (plane with missile).
About the visuals: I don't think any of your pictures look bad, I just think those above look even better. Their crafts have tons of little details (where they need them) and are put in a fitting environment that does exactly what the contest was about: it made picture and craft look better without taking the focus (or too much of it) from the craft. On your picture (the one that scored best) the environment doesn't take too much of the focus from the craft (even though I think it could've been even better without / with different tonemapping), but it didn't make it look better either - it was just... there. Possibly because of the tonemapping, the craft blended in to the background, instead of the opposite. Those and a few more reasons (e.g. I'm not sure if that's really the angle the plane in the dunes looks best from) led me to give others more points.
If you had followed the task and "show[ed] one of your crafts or planets from its best side on a picture" you would've surely been in the top 5, maybe even won.
Hope that clears it up a bit.
Also, I had wifi issues again while writing this, so I couldn't read your other comment(s) yet
I‘m still semi-actively writing a vizzy guide. It‘s far from finished, but the list of what all vizzy blocks do and some tips (especially on getting started) are done. I could send you an early access version
So, I looked around a bit and couldn‘t find an exact copy of your A400M or AH-49. However, I have to say that your speed is kinda suspicious - just yesterday you asked whether you should build an A400M or a C17, and on the same day you already built an entire 1600 parts craft? Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m not saying you‘d definitely copy others, just that I understand why people might get suspicious or accuse you of doing it. To prove that you build your crafts yourself (especially to the mods if you ever get banned again, but also to Mystical), you could take a few screenshots of the building process (e.g. one after placing the first few parts, one when you‘re halfway done and one when you‘re almost done). You could additionally ask Mystical to prove his accusations - while that won‘t prove your innocence, knowing why he thinks you were copying others can help resolving the situation
I think the topics should change every time (your decision if rotating or random), but expect varying success. Like, pictures for example: everyone can take pictures, no matter the skill, no matter the time. Building? Not really - it takes time and skill, even with a part limit, so (while I don't know for sure) you might have much lower success there. Also, be aware that hosting a contest every month will be quite some work - I'm not sure if you permanently want to do that alone
So, PZLAgencies is ok with it, Livingg017 hasn‘t said anything against it and Galactic still ignores me. No one has complained, so I‘ll see how I can add some realism to the task
@Livingg017 But a small part of that craft-building community sees this and would participate. You want airplanes, PZLAgencies wants probes/landers or planets, Tallisar wants planets and GalacticAerospace wants who knows what. So wouldn't it be quite unfair if I'd do something just about airplanes?
@Livingg017 You could make an airplane with that task, but I can't limit it to just airplanes (or even crafts in general) cause then you'd probably be the only participant
@Aludra877 Hey brother, I saw you‘re hosting a contest too. Just to get an idea how many participants a big creator has, may I ask how many submissions you have (yet)? Just roughly, like “just 2 or 3“ or “sth around 10 or 15“
Live long and prosper
@Aludra877 Hey brother, sure, I'm happy to help. I'll need to see the issue and probably experiment a bit on that one, so it'd be great if you can send me the weapon
I like option 1. Imo two looks too flat, three is too extreme and one is just right. Terraformed looks a bit strange (maybe even artificial) cause it's completely flooded with small continents - would look better with less, but a bit bigger continents
Also, in case you don't know, you can get (and maybe even set some, I've never tried that) the properties of the mfd screen itself. Just use the normal blocks (e.g. get widget size) and use _Screen as the widget name. That can be useful for making programs fit different screens.
Since the coordinates on an mfd of one by one meter go from -100 to 100 (so 201 pixels in total) each pixel should be around 0.5cm (At least if you don't tinker the resolution).
The "start" (0, 0) is in the middle of the mfd, the right border has the same x value as the width of the mfd (in centimeters), the top border has the same y value as the height, bottom and left border have the same values, just negative.
@OrionTechnologies Done! Currently supports explosions with customisable strength (closest thing to fire I could think of) and malfunctioning parts (deactivating them and making it impossible to activate them). You can use the custom expressions as explained in the vizzy or anywhere in a bigger vizzy, using AGs and/or probabilities. Any other kind of failure I should include?
@lafario Which parts can‘t you see?
