the high poly fenris KARMA made and Vasudan Admiral textured is now in a state that you can play with it in game.

you bunch of slakers whould know this if you would have read the other thread

but you didn't...
now download and be amaized at it's awsome highpoly wonder,
also for those of you claiming submodel shadeing problems look at the radar and big turret, nothing has been changed, nothing has been fixed, I told you it worked!
auto-facet build same one that's been up the whole time

also try a slightly better version of the environment mapping build, I just quickly added the four functions that run it, becase someone wanted subspace to render corectly with it, though I never actualy tested to see if it worked now that I think of it.
god damnit I wanted to go to sleep over half an hour ago!

Post some pics then

[kasperl]

'night.

this should go into a media VP ASAP.

[Bobboau]

after it gets it's LOD and debris.

actualy someone do that today, will you

[Vasudan Admiral]

err, what happened to the nameplate polys?
i put 2 rectangular polys as subobjects on the back that you could apply text to with a puregreen BG, ingame it would appear as tho the text was painted onto the hull, and the SCP change texture function in fred would mean you could have multiple fenris' with different nameplates in one mission. if you didn't want a nameplate you could just set the texture to a 1x1 pure green pixil.

and i may be able to do the lods and debris on the weekend, where i'll also add the nameplates again

[Bobboau]

I just didn't convert them with it, there still in the sceen

For simplicity's sake, why not use the orginal LODs and Debris?  Saves a lot of work.  Your not going to see any detail on the LODS (could use original hull as LOD1), and the debris rarely stays around long enough to look at.

Oh and Bobboau, the turrets on the rear hull have their normals half wrong.  They have their X-axis element inverted.

Splendid work VA, I've been waiting a long time for this!

Anyone tell me which version of ModelView I need to view this thing? All the ones I have claim "Too many normals defined"

[Lightspeed]

Does the build have Kazan's multi code in it?

do a search on the forums for modelview, and make sure it's one that VA posted.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Effort

[Taristin]

Yes.

[Flipside]

Petrarch, just PM VA in Sectorgame and ask him to give you the link, I'd upload it myself but.....effort

Actually, all but 3 turrets have inverted normals, being "-" when they should be "+" and vice versa.  Only the forward dorsal, primary forward, and the turret on the ventral mast have correct normals.  In addition, the rear ventral turrets and forward flank turrets have their sub-objects too far off the hull (unless the version here is different from the one Bob posted in the other thread last night).  Also, I'm sure you are already aware that the destroyed sub-objects are identical to undestroyed ones, mainly the dish and ventral missile turret.  Finally, this is minor, the dockpoints should be moved back just a bit, to match up with the circles on the hull... but that's just my opinion.

Later!

[Bobboau]

it was a quick conversion job...

useing the orional model for the LODs is what I had in mind, but the debris should be made specal.

Yea, I noticed the other two, after I posted. ho hum.  Didn't notice the other stuff you mentioned, apart from the destroyed submodel versions.

Expect possible new turret versions (mainly for the Lev, but maybe for the Fenris) some time soonish, once I've sorted out this latest idea of mine.  Redone Plasma Weapon stats...

Forgive me if I go a bit n00bish here:

OMFG!!!!!!!111111112

That is simply astonishing. So we're wating on some fixes, yes?

[Flipside]

That new build works well, though there seems to be a slowdown in loading times, but this may just be my computer, I'll see if it happens more often before reporting it as a bug.
One little thing, when your ship get's destroyed, it shows your death in 'cinematic' view, it actually looks bloody good EDIT : To avoid confusion I mean the lens angles not the fact the external view exists, I've died enough times to be well aware of that hehehe

[Fineus]

Now that is the way forward!
