On behalf of GalacticEmperor, I present... the completed and POFfed HTL Ravana. http://staff.hard-light.net/goober5000/ravana_ge.zipRequires -jpgtga, at least until someone converts the map to DDS format. [attachment deleted by admin] |

And even if that map is converted, you'd still need -jpgtga for any other ships not currently mapped with DDS files.
Iregardless: F'n SWEET!

Here it is, with maps converted to DXT1c format DDS files and EFF animation file altered accordingly. HTL_Ravana_DDS.7z, 2.2 MB download. Enjoy. And, if someone wants to host it on some HLP account I won't object, my public_html is kinda clogged at the moment so it could use some free space...  Btw... the model is beautiful... and blue glows? How unorthodox! But extremely cool looking nevertheless. Somehow it even manages to not look like christmas light led tubes.  EDIT: It seems that to retain correct glow colours when converting PCX to DXT, you have to use -swap option with nvDXT batch converter. I'll upload the correct version in a minute.  EDIT2: Uploaded. Now the DDS mapped version does not have any blue in it. Kinda shame, though - I actually liked the blue glows. They looked more like coolant moving in the tubes. But I guess red is the supposed colour...  |

About time, finally! Good job Raven & Galemp. The shivans are now really starting to look menacing.
EDIT: I tested the file, but ran into a problem, take a look at the screen. The overall area near the engines seems bugged,; ships can pass through some of it.

Iregardless That's redundant, not a word, and not even spelled right. Try using regardless. I tested the file, but ran into a problem Hm. I've sent this to GalEmp. So its done already eh?! It was actually done for a while, just buried. I just asked if I could post it. why didnt [GalEmp] post here himself btw? There's usually a tidal wave of "welcome back", plus catching up, before any work can get done; and I presume he's still too busy to deal with that yet. And for those that still remember me (and care), just wanna let you all know that my life is finally putting itself in place again, and as such, I may return to the HLP comunity soon Yay!  |

Yeah, it's still very beautiful. I like how the "pulsing veins" idea was used, the Ravana now looks like a twisted organic-metallic blend.

EDIT: I tested the file, but ran into a problem, take a look at the screen. The overall area near the engines seems bugged,; ships can pass through some of it.
There's something strange with this model. If you open it in Modelview, thrusters are in their right positions, but they appear as in your screenshot. Please some expert modder should take a look at what's happening... |

I've seen this with some TBP ships while I was readying them for use. You can fix it without reconverting the whole model, but it requires doing things the hard way in PCS. PCS has the ability to create and edit thruster points, but unfortunately it won't show them to you. So, you need to create a dummy primary firepoint and place it where you want your thruster point to be, then copy the position into the thruster point's location field. Then, relocate your dummy firepoint to the next location and so on. Just remember to delete the firepoint when you're done. Unfortunately, this problem may not be restricted to thruster points. The TBP ship I was working on was a fighter, and I noted that all the primary and secondary firepoints were out of position in this manner when done in ModView as well. You may need to edit the turret firepoints in PCS to make 'em match up properly.

But why is Modelview doing that?. I mean if you open other models, thrusters are where they appear. Is it some kind of weird pof bug or is it a Modelview bug? |

It could be that there is a problem with the model that took place prior to being poffed. Perhaps something with the radius or something. Perhaps MODview isn't configured to recognize this error, but PCS can, and can compensate for it, but not fix it.

Things like that can happen if the pivot of the detail-0 object is not at 0, 0, 0. |

I don't have a screen, but note that when the thing explodes, debris appear out of thin air next to the thrusters, as if the model extended that far. The explosion also continues roaming in empty space until it reaches the mislocated thrusters. So it doesn't seem to be a solely thruster-y problem.
