Lol Editing gone wrong

Fri Apr 25, 2003 4:17 pm by giskard

Hello all.

I made my first ship yesterday, got it in the game with no small amount of effort. Heres a pic of how it should look.

Im too embarished to show you what it really looks like in the game.

Its supposed to be a large freighter but in the game its the smallest ship ever hehehe. Not only that but i put a cargo hardpoint in the boxes they vanished in the game so you dont even see them.

As for textures, i used more than one texture and the tutorial listed the use of a single texture so i had to improvise and guess what happened

Yup, i ended up flying a tiny pure white freighter around big nasty Light fighters hehehe.

Had me laughing my ass off.

Just thought id share that gem with you guys, editing can be very funny some times when things go wrong and still work

Mebbe it's a Doctor Who style ship?

I had that problem too, but corrected it Giskard. I tried converting some of the old SL ships first to get used to the skinning and hardpoints.

Then I made my first cargo vessel...

Still have to tweak the skins a little bit but it works for now.

Lol fixed most of ths issues now

The ships as big as i dare make it and still be able to dock everywhere. Got a slight texture problem on one side. EG one texture simply is not showing up but the same texture is ok on the other side of the ship. Weird.

Fixed the turret views too. Looks better now.

Also i figured out why ships sink into the deck.

The HpMount hardpart is considered to be the part of the ship that touches the ground. In most ships its in the center of the model so they sink into the deck. When i moved mine down to the very bottom of my model, my ship stopped sinking into the deck.

A lot of the AI only ships have this problem i noticed.

Here is pic of my first model in the game (fixed)

This is the good side, the other side as the freighter logo missing. Something i have to fix yet.

Kurgan:

I was going to build some of those for my scifi station (a fun station, nothing serious). Looks like you already have the models made i was going to make. Any chance I can use your cmp and mat files for the ships you have in that pics ?

I take it the buck rogers starfighter is not yet finished ?

email me about this please, it could save me a ton of work

Lol just seen your cargo vessel.

Very funny, i love the humour involved.

I find cargo vessels are harder than fighters to dream up because they are not something I think about much.
