Chronic Logic

as kvinge said, TERMINAL VELOCITY.  speed is capped in the real world (for falling, that is), so why not in a good phisiks engine?

Are you saying he mistook it for a EULA?  who does he think CL is, MICROSOFT?  no eula's for miles...

eerie... how'd this odd duck get here without knowing where to download it...  that's just strange...

AHA!  I was right!  they scale up (or down) the model members in all directions!  hahaha!  

One thing i dont think you're factoring in... Cable is heavy!  we're talking huge steel cable here!  after a certain point, cable should snap under its own weight.  i'm gonna go find that point out now....

[edit]  AHA!  that point doesn't exist in Pontifex!  (either that or the maps simply aren't big enough...)

I've been trying to weigh the difference between a 4-length of heavy steel and 4 1-lengths, but my studies are hindered by the brittleness of 1-lengths.  go figure.

Its as if the code was just scaling up the members in all directions to make them longer, instead of just making them longer.... weird.

A thought popped into my head... Maybe short steel members are weaker because they have less 'give'?  A little bit of flexion makes an object a lot harder to break, and flexion is increased by length....  but that still doesn't account for cable... FEH!

My point being that cable should be heavy, but isn't.

you mean to tell me that there exists a clean solution to c11 and c15?  SHOW ME!!! [please!]

Yeah... i tried it too, and if you make it w/symmetry it costs 躔, and if you make it without, it doesnt exist... so either way, i can't reproduce your 'boxlets'.

So what's the deal with this new project?  will it be free to paying pontifexors?  is it separate?

thank god.

if you criss-cross too much, it'll implode.  known bug.

aren't we all?     ...... well, we should be......

oops, sorry.  Thought maybe Baggio woulda wanted to weigh in on the issue.

You see, grey is the same as gray.... it's like colour and honour.... although i admit, as a person's name, i should have remembered.
