Post by: LtNarol on May 06, 2002, 06:13:07 pm
This is the official 158th signup thread, post here if you wish to join.  Specifically, we're looking for modelers, converters, and texturers.  Ani artists and someone to work on mainhalls.  Last but not least, we're looking for someone to make new weapons.

He is, how many times do I have to say it before people realise that no matter how many times you email, PM or contact me any other way - I'm still as busy. Put all your requests to us in the request thread and we'll get to them as and when we can.

Everything takes time. There is also a question of priority. Setekhs unfortunate departure took me for one by shock - I'm not even supposed to be here but since he had to leave I was left with no choice but to keep even a minimal presence. Several of the rest of the staff are busy with various things and Cobalt is doing a damn fine job of keeping everything going here. Thus hosting new projects and various other bits and pieces take priority over less important tasks like making sure everyone has the correct graphics by their forum name. That's not important and doesn't hinder anyones progress with anything. Thus it is ranked less important than getting peoples emails, FTP, forums or whatever sorted - and believe me there's a lot of it to do.

But this is all nothing new - I don't understand how people still haven't realised this. I've been saying I'll be busy for the last three months and the staff as a whole have been getting increasingly busy for at least the last two.

Try and show a little patience will you? There are more important things than getting someones avatar fitted. I know this isn't in your best interests but it is ours - try and understand this.

What exactly do you need doing?  As far as modeling/texturing is concerned, count me out since I don't have access to/have no means of getting Truespace and am completely clueless as to how to use it. :(

Concept art...I'm doing stuff for NodeWars, but wEvil's caught up in Real Life™ at the moment and is unavailable, so I could do that.  And it'd take me a while to polish my FRED skills, but I might be capable of making a decent mission.  Emphasis on the might. ;)

Although I've got less than a month of free time left, so everything's kinda up in the air at the moment concerning future availability.

Even with the incredable number of fredders i've hired, im still looking for more.  If you can Fred, then i've got a slot for you.  As for concept art, Shivan concepts are in high demand; particularly cruisers and corvettes, but anything Shivan will do :D

Post by: TrashMan on September 24, 2002, 06:54:03 am
I'm polishing up the models I sent you,
I allso contacted Aldo for help with textures. the Phoenix should be the first finished.
Say, how did you like the Eagle?

B.t.w. - I'm a good FREDer, modeler, can make weapons and edit in PCS. Say I have two really good missions, should I send them to you?
Title: 158th Signup Thread
Post by: LtNarol on September 24, 2002, 06:58:38 am
Send me your work on the Liberty and I'll decide, that was the ship I sent you a while ago.

Post by: TrashMan on September 25, 2002, 06:42:22 am
O.K. -

How many LOd's of the Liberty do you need? (I've made LOD0)
You said no turrets, just leave empty spaces for them, right?

- Aldo can't help me, he has too much work to do. Do you know some other good texturer?

To answer the edit - I can make everything in PCS except for paths ( never tried making eyes and insignia). And I can do tbl. files.

b.t.w.- how did you find the weapons?

Lods: need 4 on the Liberty
No, i dont know any good texturers who have time
Paths are exactly what i need, think you can figure them out?

Paths? - Don't know. I can try, I guess!

LOD 1,2,3 for Liberty, coming right up! (I'll need 2 day's at most)

The gatling weapons I sent you - are they good? I think I should increase the energy drain.

I'm currently working (from scratch) on the Phoenix, and I've remodeld the Armageddon and the Thunderbolt. textures remain the biggest problem!

I've made 3 Liberty LOd's, but they are all pretty detailed, so I'm gonna make a few more and send you all as a scene. You can later choose the best 4!;)
Title: hello
Post by: TrashMan on October 09, 2002, 02:41:14 am
The paths work.
 How about I get acess to all that "beyond your level of clearence" stuff. I do work with you you know, and I would like to know some details (story, weapons, ships).

b.t.w. - my name in the staff section?
Title: 158th Signup Thread
Post by: LtNarol on October 09, 2002, 06:57:47 am
Do ships using your paths go along the right coordinates?  You are added to the staff after I see a few samples of your work, assuming they are good samples and I have a slot for you.  In your case, we have a slot for pathing and other conversion data, if you can do paths and show me that they work with the right coordinates, you're in. :D

EDIT: That 'classified beyond your level of clearance' thing is just because we don't have much to show in those areas yet and therefore rather than show partialy complete stuff, we chose to show none of it :D
Title: 158th Signup Thread
Post by: TrashMan on October 09, 2002, 08:41:19 am
Actually I can do far more than pathing, but - you're d' boss!

I'm fixing a few "minor" bugs with a few of my ships, and when they are done, I'll send you them to have a little look.

b.t.w. - did you get the Excalibur. (I see the missing surfaces, this is only the BETA).
Title: 158th Signup Thread
Post by: LtNarol on October 09, 2002, 12:07:54 pm
Got the excalibur, looks good, but again, i need to see a sample for paths, send me the models you're working on when you finish and if they work you're in ;)

build me a sample mission, completely original, make it as involving to the player as you can, attention to detail is worth quite a few bonus points.  Use any tricks you've picked up, do whatever.  There is one limit: it must not require any mods and run off of standard fs2.  This sample will be disected by myself and one other, each aspect will be examined, take your time.

I'll send you some stuff then.

I think my Fs2 problems are Windows XP related.... I still have my old PC in the house, so if all else fails...

what do you want (from the following):

1. Iowa battleship (just 1 small face is gone, all else works)
2. Paladin battlecruiser (3 small faces gone, all else works)
3. Galileo military science vessel (the rotating panels need a bit of work)
4. Vanguard starbase (everything works, looks good)
5. Phoenix
6. Thundebolt
7. Armageddon

I did work on them and they are all a lot better than the least time!

8. The capship weaponspack (4 beams, 2 missiles, 3 guns)
9. The fighter weapons pack ( 2 missiles, 3 guns)

If you want to do models:

Come up with the best fighter (any species) you can manage with 550 or fewer polys, send it to [email protected]

If you want to do tables (any one of the three, or more):

-figure out how to add more than 20 additional planets to stars.tbl and have them all work in fred without cutting out the current ones (not sure if this is possible, but if you figure it out, you're in).

-figure out how to edit lightning.tbl and do something cool with it.

-figure out the conflicts with new weapons that cause them to not show up in the techroom, and fix them for a test weapon you create of course (the test weapon doesnt have to be anything fancy, just to show that the meathod works).

Well id have to tell you my first model isnt even finished yet, but you can follow, and help, with its construction at:

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,11690.0.html

LOD0 hull has 257 poly's(564 triangles), thrusters 160, shield 60

For the tables, i made a chain lightning, wel not quite, its forks have a bigger spread and the storm fires them almost in succession(sorry for the bad spelling). If you want something cool, then you'd might want to give examples cause that would give me something to work to

You can get the tbl in question Here (http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~dalum/lightning.tbl)

Edit:
The thing with the techroom has something to do with in-techroom sexps and the way weapons are adressed int the table analogue to the ships table, read up on it Here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,11657.0.html)

For the tech problem... Do you have the in-tech-database flag?
For the stars problem... Tables have filesize limits like ships is limited to about 380 kb before it stops working so try and cut out spaces/tabs/enters to save on space and then add whats new

The game crashes to desktop with new weapons, and yes, they have the in-tech-database flag.  Like I said, I'm not sure if its entirely possible to find a solution without using the source code to edit the engine.

As for stars.tbl, it is well under 380kb, I'm talking about adding 20 lines, which keeps it well under the limit.

A little info on planet/sun bitmap limitations straight from the source:

#define MAX_STARFIELD_BITMAPS         60

That means, with the original exe, you can have a max of 60 planet/nebula type bitmaps and a max of 60 sun bitmaps. (The planets/nebulas use a different array of structures then the suns do, both have space for 60 entries going from 0 to 59.) And that's in addition to filesize limits. (There are filesize limits for tables and there are entry limits for tables. The latter can be more limiting then the former.)
