5 clicks of HTL goodness... (HTL Missiles)


Sothing i've had for a while, it's done, just needs conversion and loding...

The reason it's so high poly is because of the new loadout screen, i hoe to setup the lods so at best it will sue Lod 2 ingame if possible...

Treb, IIRC the Phoeinix IV (yes, 4, not 5) looked more like the current FS2 treb model... (so basicly like a real phoenix missile)

I've also got a half made harpoon and stilleto

Edit: tuns out the harpoon is actualy complete, i need to tweak the texture a bit though...

I wonder if Bobb's submodel animation code could be used to make the wings fold out.

Sadly, the only ones who will see it that close up will be dead the next millisecond.

I like it. :D :yes:
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

1,000 times better than the old models.... At least ... :)
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

Looks nice, though as you said the hi-poly version probably should't go ingame, but rather in the loadout.

Re: 5 clicks of HTL goodness...
Just set LOD0 to some very low value for the high poly missiles, and it should be fine, no?

Re: 5 clicks of HTL goodness...
What would be cool is if when the missiles are fired, they fly out fast, then slow and track a target, like a Rockeye... But with the wings opening up when it gets to the point where it starts to track

Re: 5 clicks of HTL goodness...
I think the harpoons do that already...


It'd probably be more than adding another trigger for animation though, as far as i know missiles cant have subsystems...

Re: 5 clicks of HTL goodness...
Don't ever put subobjects on a missile.  They're tiny, fast, and you never see them for long enough to grasp an animation, and the extra 4 subobject render calls that would have to be done to make the fins animatable FAR outweighs the "coolness" factor.  Adding submodels is going to be almost as bad as adding another texture.

If there were a "techroom" animation type for weapons, it'd be worth it.
