Sentra Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Well, seems to be RIP for now, my 3rd HDD with all source files (+ SkyLine v1, our website sources and all that stuff) is dead and unrecoverable. Fuck you Seagate, this HDD was only 2 years old ... Smoo likes this Link to comment

Lancelot Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 @@SentraIn my opinion, Seagate has the worst HDDs on the market.I hate them! On other HDDs, you still have a chance to recover your data beforeit gets even worse. But on a Seagate HDD, there is no way to recoveryour data once it has any problems. Samsung HDDs are a way better choice, because they are more durable. Link to comment
z3filus Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 phew... already made up my mind on getting a samsung hdd Btw the first skyline menu is very laggy for me, and Im playing payday2 without any problems at all... so if you will get back to creating a new version of Skyline menu, will it be laggy too?? So far I think the best menu is the original one. Link to comment

afi Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've got my HDD since 2008 and no problems so far but I would never trust something like a HDD so I always make backups ~ once per month Lancelot likes this Link to comment
Sentra Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 @@Xycaleth Yeah, but I bought this HDD to transfer all the JKA data on it, so I didn't expect it to break in 2 years. My main work is backed up on cloud too. @@Lancelot I agree about the Seagate HDDs after this case. @ About 1st version: we made the SD version to get it work faster and more stable, so you can try it for now. I didn't have any problems/crashes on my old laptop with SD version btw. About 2nd version: we planned to make it less resource-intensive and still impressive for you Default menu is the best cos it's the fastest. But it looks horrible :/ ---- About doing all the work from scratch: I'll think about it a bit later. And I need to find someone who have the skills to compile my templates into the game - write the .menu files for all the layouts and its elements (my teammate has left the JKA modding scene).

Sentra Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 I guess it's time to resurrect this project with the main purpose of bringing our community fresh and fast GUI replacement (for base jka + source toolset for adapting popular mods) to work on every toaster (not like SkyLine HD ). Basically I need some help with it. As I mentioned before, need to find someone who have the skills to compile my templates into the game - write the .menu files for all the layouts and its elements (my teammate has left the JKA modding scene) and someone to help with making some cool background (maybe from scratch, to get it fully new). So feel free to contact me in this topic / skype / pm. PS: You can say thanks to @@Angel Soul for this Lancelot, Darth Reborn and Omicron like this Link to comment

Sentra Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Renewed SkyLine 2.0 page and posted the article about recent activity and stuff on ModDB. So don't forget to subscribe to see all activity over this project Angel Soul and Omicron like this Link to comment
Sentra Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Slowly, but neatly renewing SkyLine 2.0 PSDs. McFish artwork coming soon. Some UI screenies - now on ModDB in HD (or imgur album; imgur reduces quality of the pics, still they look awesome): Main menu: Main menu+: HUD: Ingame settings (black color will be changed to main GUI color theme): Ingame small popup (black color will be changed to main GUI color theme): I wish JKA could render that clean GUI as we see it on concepts // UPD: reuploaded the pics to ModDB without compressing.

eezstreet Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I have a Seagate external and recently it's been having some problems. My fscking cat knocked it on the floor and it came apart from the base, and I accidentally knocked it over again, but when I got it all together again, it's beeping at me whenever I plug it into the machine. Not sure what's going on. The USB cord looks like the cat chewed the crap out of it too. Saw a spark fly out of the cord and was like NOPE. Link to comment
Sentra Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 @@eezstreet My Seagate was from external drive too (connected via eSATA to my laptop). But I never dropped mine from the table >.< . Still it has been disconected from laptop for a few times (rarely, like 4 or 5 times at all), and then 'bam', *strange sounds* -- disconnected. Even BIOS does not identify this piece of crap right now. But anyway, the new SkyLine looks better Link to comment
eezstreet Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 It looks very good, yes! I do have a request though. Can you fix the sound quality option? In the base game, there's only two options (s_khz 11/22) but s_khz 44 is possible and offers a slightly different bit of sound Also, if you could do r_lodCurveError that would be good. ("Patch Quality") Link to comment
Sentra Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Can you fix the sound quality option?Yes, sure, I will include this in option list. But I don't know about r_lodCurveError. What's this? nvm, found this one What are the recommended values for Low/Med/High LOD distance? 2ALL: would be very grateful for the full list of "need-to-be-fixed" options and maybe some new ones to be added in the Setup screen. Like the one @@eezstreet mentioned. Link to comment

ensiform Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 FYI Sound Quality option will be going away with OpenJK soon. At least the s_khz will. But yea, for base should probably at least have the "44" VERY HIGH option. Link to comment
