Re: Galatea Mainhall [BETA PACK RELEASE]
The issues are going to need a code fix other than a simple limit bump.

The stars are there. I promise. Youtube probably killed them with its codec.

WOW!  You can certainly get the scale of the Ursa, when that little car pulls up, and you realize that that little blur moving around the ship is a person!  :yes:

Re: Galatea Mainhall [BETA PACK RELEASE]
I just realized that I never publicly made available the most recent Beta. (By "most recent", I mean several months old.) Here it is nonetheless.

NOTES:

  • The Bastion mainhalls take full use of some new code that will be play misc anims (cranes, smoke, etc.) randomly.. so you'll have a bit of variation actually.
  • The Bastion mainhalls will be slow loading. They have so many frames for animations that they actually hit the BMPMan limit! So there are actually some commented out animations that you brave souls can try to get playing. (I'm not really going to offer support for that though.)
  • Krios and Soyakaze have no misc anims yet.
  • None of the mainhalls have the officer model yet. That is forthcoming.
  • The alternate variations of the Galatea and Bastion won't be active currently. You'll have to edit the FSPort campaign file for that. (Again, you are on your own with this.)
  • THESE ARE NOT FINISHED!

All of these screens are taken in-game!

Forgot to add...

Many thanks to Galemp (for making open cockpit variations for all the strikecraft), Cobra (for helping in a lot of various ways), and Goober (for adding awesome random animation code).

There is a way to use these as a replacement for the FS2 mainhall, but it would require a good bit of knowledge about the mainhall.tbl

TBH, you could just wait a bit longer.. I have the FS2 mainhall remake coming down the pipe.

Re: Galatea Mainhall [BETA PACK RELEASE]
Now that's an upgrade. Everything can be seen so clearly and with sharp detail.

Did you manually remodel the entire thing? Dang.

Sorry for the double post, but what's with all the Lokis in pic #4? Is that an NTF deck? That's awesome.

I think that's a Krios/Soyakaze main hall for ST:R, isn't it?

Re: Galatea Mainhall [BETA PACK RELEASE]
The one with the Lokis is the Soyakaze, the one with the Ulysses is the Krios.

I'll be making one more "Orion Mainhall" which will be the Intrepid, which is in early progress along with the Aquitaine.

Other mainhalls I'm considering (because of the geometry I have to make for the cutscenes might as well be reused): Arcadia, Briefing Room, Shivan Hallway... But these are just concepts and may not actually happen.

I will, however, be having a go at several Vasudan mainhalls at some point including a remake of the Psamtik.

and this

are mainhalls I would definitively (and most likely a lot of other modders out there) like to have.
I have no doubt that you would recieve a lot of support if you ever decide to give it a try.

Where can I get my "Mixael is awesome" T-Shirt ? :)
