How does that shadowing effect and damage effect work?

It's an overlay. Have a look through the starfarer folders and files

Hm, that's where I'm conflicted. I think starlight can be done by replicating photoshop's overlay blend mode. Overlaying a black and white gradient then blending it in, like so:

That is undeniably sexy. But... I dunno.

The shadowing is just a single shadow sprite overlaid on top of the scaled-down ship sprite and clipped to it. The damage effect... more of the same, but considerably more involved.

First time i saw alex diss someone...even if it was a slight one

[DSMK2]

Hee... I have lost! But I will continue to post inane suggestions as they come to mind!

Remember that in space, light comes from all sides, from all the stars and other things? How do you suppose to replicate that, without causing alot of lag?
