No big news. The work on the server is going on, but I have to anticipate some problems first.

I'm working on a intermediate (and open source) server for FAF. It will be there to avoid nil problem as much as possible. (GW won't go through FA lobby, so no way to see nil before it start).

As it can consume a lot of bandwidth, I'm counting on some players to make some mirrors.

Any news with regards to Galactic War?

I was going for a procedural generator, but when I've seen the price of that plug-in, I did not hesitate a long time
(and yes, I already own a photoshop license through the company I'm working in in case you are wondering

Started working on the textures and shading. Added a little atmospheric effect because why not.

I'm going to buy a little photoshop plugin that will do the 90 planets left

Will look better once the definite background is in place (darker one).

I can move and erase planets, and the network link generator algorithm is in place.

Capture.PNG

It check that :
- no links are "crossed", as they are hard to read.
- Each planet has a least 3 links.
- If one planet has not 3 links, it can allow another planet to have more links, but not than 4.

I have to refine it to avoid these diamond shaped network grapes, and I have a completely random (and even) galaxy generator. (probably tomorrow, I just have to check that no network are forming a triangle).

I will start coding the server next week.

Needless to say, with the server crashes and the replay vault, I did worked a lot on it.

But I can move planets, and I've fixed a lot of display glitches.

I have a good algo (on paper for doing the pre-links, I will try to implement it tomorrow. Once it's done, I guess I will be back on track with my schedule

edit#2 Second (?)

That's not a bug but the random generation placing two planets at the same place. It will obviously not be random
