While I'm cruising around, I figured I'd drop in and say hi to the source code peeps.

Just wanted to say - I'm totally blown away by the stuff you guys are doing. You guys have gone absolutely bonkers with this stuff.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think the source would be this useful.  I'm also glad that as far as I can tell, no one has been permanently scarred from exposure to it  :)

Particularly neat is the whole Linux thing. I know I was down on it at the onset, but you guys have really kicked ass. Shows what the hell I know :)

No doubt, Freespace will live on for a heckuva lot longer because of your efforts.

So, now I'll go ahead and register my own personal fanboy request : Man oh man would I love to see real stencil shadows from big ships. That's one uber-dramatic element FS2 never really had - the proper LOOMING presence of the big guys reflected in the lighting on the little guys.

Anyways - rock on!

alright, I'm on it, I've got what seems to be a working silhouette ruteen going, it gets a little flakey when things are at a sharp angle to the light source in question, but I think it will work.
the geometry from the shadow volume could also be used in nebula missions... ;7
