I made a small update for the old CDs...I don't really know if it worth it but I know they were a bit glitchy before so if you wanna try it. As before, cassette.dae by me, label.dae by Nightmare JG
thanks

CD ver. 2

Wait, what'd the update do exactly? Just make it less buggy?
Goodbye everyone. It's been fun. I spent many many hours here on these boards and playing/contributing to FoF. Today I uninstalled my game and deleted all my files. I just don't have the time or interest anymore. I won't be coming back here anymore. I might show up in the IRC from time to time to chat. I regret nothing.

So long, farewell.

I know it's not very apparent when looking at the screenshots but it changes them graphically, I don't know which one looks better but they are "neater" now, different lightings and stuff like this...and the cassette.dae is half-sized so it loads faster a bit than my old one.

The only reason I'm not using this mod at the moment is that they look really flat and uninteresting underneath, which kinda ruins the idea of being CDs. Is it possible to have the back show this png which I just put together?

Actually, I should be able to do it in blender with zero code changes. Let me mess with it.

EDIT: I could, but it would be a mess, you'd have to edit all existing labels, and new ones would need to be made differently, cassate labels would look like ****, a code edit makes more since, I might be able to do it if I knew which file.

But if you change the code, the casettes would still look like mess. I would rather change the .dae file and the textures there.

I had few time to look at this but dialogs.py is probably the file you're looking for. But maybe there's more to edit

I thought that having to refer to only one copy of the "underneath" png that could be in the mod directory would be nice, because there would be no need for a switch to display or not that underneath when you're (or not) using the cd mod. I was trying to use a copy of the label.dae called "underneath.dae" and try to position it under the CDs but I'm stuck there, I don't really understand yet how to display a new .dae and it's mesh (the label is Mesh_001? I can't import the files in blender right now, I sometimes have collada problems) I'm reading on this.

That happens to me alot, I just keep extra backups as .blends and save every time before I export.
