Ship Request

Hi.

My computer won't let me use GMAX or anything like it, so I'd like to make a request, and this is the only place I could think of to put it.

It's a fairly simple request: Could someone make a Star Destroyer/other capital ship from Star Wars? Fairly realistic in size.

Thanks

I believe someone allready has. Try epsilon mod I think. And FreeWorlds

Freeworlds has a secret one only admins can get but its messed up and it spins VERY fast when it gets hit and the admin is a **** on US server so dont bother with Freeworlds. But Epislon has one I think.

AKA: Alpha_One.

Let me just add that the admin is NOT necessarily a bad person at all, Supersnipa is stating his view, and maybe its right, or maybe he did something to annoy the admin - which gives him his negative view. I would try the freeworlds mod (its starwars based), and if they have Jyiong from the forums there - heck, he made the best damned large model i have ever seen of the SD.

I was wondering if it would be possible to get one on its own?

Also, are there any other capital ships that have been created?

I could try to model it if you want ( but it might take me longer cuz I'm working on a mod already)

-EDIT: Hmm... why do you want an SD by itself anyway? I hope you dont plan on using it on a server withot permission from the SA!

No dont worry I use OpenSP so it's easier for me to use mods and my own systems.

Ive been thinking and I was wondering if it was possible for you to perhaps make a different ship instead of the SD. It's a cylinder with a cone at the front and engine at the back, about the same size as the SD. If not, then that's fine and an SD would be great.

Thanks

Umm... If its just a cylinder with a cone at one end, I can do that in 5mins! There has to be more to it. Can you give me a link to an image? Or post one?

I'm afraid it's a ship design that I made up for my RPG, Star Wars Dark Empires.

Right: I'll try to be as clear as I can. The design I have drawn on paper is roughly 500 metres long for the cylinder, 30 metres for the cone, and at the back of the cylinder, it lengthens both up and down by about 2 metres. Where it widens are the three engine exhausts. The smaller two near the top and bottom are the afterburn exhausts, and there is a large exhaust in the middle of the two for the main engine

The cone at the front is from the bottom to about 2 metres from the top of the cylinder. (the remaining 2 metres is the cockpit). there are roughly 7 weapon hardpoints on the top, and 3 on the bottom.

The ship si called the CESHAC (Corellian Engineered Spearhead Assault Crusier)

The measurements I have gone is just to give a rough idea of the proportions.

Sorry if I'm asking too much here. If you don't have time, then an SD is just great.

I have the model from FreeWorlds ready. You should be able to take it from there. What formats can you take?

Formats? PSP Image, JPG, GIF, and quite a few more that I've never used. Still need that picture scanned? (Do you have MSN or YIM [Yahoo? It would make conversation a lot easier.

LOL! No. No. I mean formats like .ms3d, .3ds, .md3, etc. Files for the ship. Not a picture of the ship! (Nope. No AIM, or YIM. But I have a small chat room on my site )

Post Tue Apr 06, 2004 12:38 pm

Oh right. Where would I find out? Also, could you put it into a mod or something to make it easier to download?

Post Tue Apr 06, 2004 12:48 pm

Hmm... Well. Without milkshape/gmax, you cant do much with it huh? All you nedd to do is take the folder I send you and everything in it, creat a new folder in your FLMM>mods directory, and put the folders (with the files) in it and activate (Can you do it? I'll walk you through it if you need me too. But the "how do I get a mod to work with FLMM" help file kinda says it all )
