Infinity Shipyards___MOD

Tue Mar 25, 2003 1:57 pm by GAG

Okay I just wanted to make an offical Infinity shipyards thread. (Gibby or EB could you make this a sticky for me..pleeeaase.)

First of I want to thank everyone who has contacted me so far, its good to get as much feed back as possible.

This mod is designed simply to put new custom ships into freelancer. All the ships are going to be original ones, not from any films or tv series. Straight from the minds of sci-fi and gaming fanatics. The mod will place either new shipyards into the existing systems or to create a whole new system with several shipyards. In those shipyards you will be able to spend your hard earned credits on some of the finest ships ever created. we have some great moddellers on the team.
We also plan to add in a few more secrets and other mods in with it as we go. So thats the plan. and to buisness

we are also in the process of creating the website and I would like to ask a few people to beta test out our online ship viewer. To use the ship viewer you will need to download a small file from here
3d viewer you need to download the file called MS3DViwereOCXSetup1001.exe . you also need direct X9 or newer so if you need that download that from microsoft.com. however this should have come with your retail version of freelancer.

once you have installed these files click on the link below and please give me your feed back.

i have looked at these ships ... and must say... your models are truely great!!!
i mean Sperling and Adonis...
first is BEST!!!
it looks like kilrathi or some....

all works fine, btw the adonis looks like a X-wing whit out the top of the X, I just love the sperling, exept for its name.

GAG, I took a look at the ship models. The Chimera didn'T work, but all others functioned as intended.

My favourites are the Osprey and the Adonis (although the names are a little ... odd. But that's okay, since the models really look good.). The textures of some could use a little more work, but that's just nitpicking.

Congratulations, you are now officially responsible for me wishing even more that importing of models would already be possible. Hope you can live with that burden.

When I was using the view, the Chimera wouldn't display - I might have been impatient, but it didn't even start to load when all the others did.

This may be a problem with my system (and I wouldn't be surprized), but after viewing a few of them, every link afterwards instead gave me this message:
No Device Created! Make sure you have DirectX9 or better installed!

I do have DX9 installed - I'm not sure why it let me view 1/2 of them and then die on me. Like I said, it could be on my side. Just in case if it's relevant, the ship that gave me this message first, going top to bottom, was the Trepid.

Thx,

ok the Adonis,Ospray and the Cobra all look very cool,only prob is that i want them now.lol,will these ships be compatable with the current exo mod,

Nice work on this viewer except I've got exactly the same problems as anyone else (the chimera and the DX9 error).

Your texturing skill has greatly improved, GAG. I wonder if I'll really be useful

I hope we'll see many updates and that the ships will soon be available.
Keep up the good work !

Thanks for the feed back everyone i'm glad it seems to work ok for everyone. I will look into the chimera not loading see what i can sort out. as for the DX9 issue i'm affraid thats the viewer, its a little unstable, i've found if you run the dxsetup and run the direct3d tests then load the viewer again it works ok (until it decides to pack up again) maybe worth loading dx9.0A that may help a little but can't promise anything. Once again thx for the feed back.

Ditto here.. I got to see 2 models (the first 2) and then it crapped out on me.. Telling me that I needed Dx9 or better installed.. And I do have Dx9.. Whats up?

Wed Mar 26, 2003 7:15 am by reynen

My favorite is the Ardonis! I love that ship!

Wed Mar 26, 2003 9:22 am by GAG

thanks guys, like yedan says though unfortunately the viewer seem to loose direct X9 for somereason which causes that error. unfortunately i'm not sure how to fix it although i have contacted the maker of the plugin hopefully he can help.
i will post some normal pictures of the ships as well incase the viewer doesnt work.

Uh... Ok, wow, nice ships. But what does this have to do with Freelancer?
I think Freelancer uses it's own 3D models... I can make 3D models with Poser, but can't make it usable in Freelancer.
