01:47 <oren> anyonw know the trick to editing dds txtures in paint.net?

02:35 <blowfish> my strategy with DDS textures has always been to decompress them, edit, then re-compress

02:42 <oren> blowfish: I'm having trouble more with the parts looking terrible

02:42 <blowfish> bad link...

02:43 <oren> oh right it has to be amod-apporved first

02:44 <blowfish> what are they supposed to look like?

02:44 <oren> I'm adding three new types of RTGs that are different colors and have different decay half-lifes using Nertea's DecayingRTGs mod.

02:44 <oren> but I want them to not... be so brightly colored

02:46 <blowfish> and that's not how the textures look in your image editor, or you can't get them to look how you want? (I've never used paint.net)

02:46 <oren> I don't know how the transparency affects things basically

02:47 <oren> so I made it all opaque one color but that seems to have messed up a lot

02:49 <blowfish> transparency in KSP is usually shininess

02:50 <oren> hmm.. yeah that makes sense.

02:50 <oren> I'll experiment a bit

03:24 <oren> The GNR-KM Long-Mission RTG is powered by Kerbicium, which isn't found anywhere in nature. It outputs a small amount of electricity, but will last a lot longer, we're told. It's blue, too!

03:25 <oren> The GNR-PO High-Power RTG is powered by polarium, found on the moon Pol and also in the dirt we dug up when we planted the space centre's flag pole. It outputs a lot of electricity and is definitely not just a normal RTG painted red.

03:26 <oren> The GNR-BP Low-Cost RTG is powered by Boppium, a common isotope found in waste from recycled LV-N rocket motors. It's significantly cheaper than other RTGs. It lacks both power and longevity though.

20:51 <egg> Sarbian: your unity profiling guide was very useful, thanks!

20:51 <Sarbian> egg: you are welcome !

20:51 <egg> (turns out that searching through all the objects at 50 Hz is not a good idea :-p)

20:52 <egg> I guess now instead of GetValueOrDefault I could use ?? and that would be by name, but well, I tried being clever once :-p

20:52 <Sarbian> :)

20:53 <egg> that took 15 ms per frame

20:53 <egg> good news though is that the rest of what we do is fairly quick :D

20:53 <egg> (unless you have tens of thousands of points in the history to render, but that's another problem for another time)
