Wanderer looks neat - UV mapped?

Wanderer looks neat - UV mapped?

Yes, all of them. I have to work more on texture.
IPX Icarus is on the way and some others.

One question: How many new ships can I add before I have reached the limit of the game engine?

[0rph3u5]

The limit of normal builds is 130, that of Inferno builds is 250

Core table contains 119 ship entires (ships.tbl) + 14 in additional-shp.tbm + 4 more in Zathras ... (other mods may also add ships)
With a normal build you can't add anymore ... but with the Inferno build you will have some room...

For Reference: Engine limitations in the FS Wiki


EDIT:

IPX Icarus is on the way

I declare "popular demand" for this one

[emi_100]

Thanks for the info.

And the Ipsha ship is on the way too.

@emi_100,

It is years since I last played TBP and haven't played Zathras, though I really want to. Maybe at some point in the future, I don't know.
However, your prowess in creating spaceships is remarkable. Therefore, I can only point to some more ships for you to create.

http://www.agentsofgaming.com/b5wminis.htm

or you could check out their site for more info,
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/b5w.htm

especially in the following link, where a full catalog of available designs exists. Some of the best designs of TBP are from there
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/b5wstock.htm

Scroll down some untill you reach the following text,

B5W MINIATURES AVAILABLE NOW

Click on the hyperlink for a photo of a painted miniature!

From there on, click on any link for a picture of the miniature that you could then proceed to model if you like.

[emi_100]

Those link are full of interesting stuff, i'll definitely take a look.
thank a lot for all that information

Here is an "upgrade" of the Earth Aliance Explorer Ship.

Don't mention it. It is I who must thank you for your hard work.
TBP is really unrecognizable from what it was earlier. I don't think I need to say that the game looks better than the TV show ever did.
There are ships in the links that should really be part of TBP or should I call it Zathras?

Poseidon Supercarrier

The best thing about AOG is that they try to flesh all the little races that we only know from one ship in the Babylon 5 series. For example, the Brakiri.

We only know them from this, the Avioki heavy cruiser
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/avioki.gif

In AOG they have 2 fighters,
Brakiri falkosi fighter
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/falkosi.jpg
and Halik figher-killer
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/halik.jpg

They also have the  Brakiri Ikorta Light Assault Cruiser:
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/ikorta.jpg
and the  Brakiri Brokados Battle Carrier:
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/bw281.jpg

I think that some of them are already ingame in TBP, because I remember they were requested many years before. If you could try and insert the remaining ones, that would be great because in the future, a campaign could be made with them as allies able to provide substantial contribution to the war not just one cruiser. Other campaigns could be made with them. The possibilities are endless.

There are also the Dilgar who should be part of the TBP, and maybe if some pre Minbari war earth designs can be created then the "Dilgar War" could be scripted in or should I say "Fredded in".

Other possibilities include the full complement of the Vree,
Vree Xill Battle Saucer:

Vree Xorr War Saucer:
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/xorr.jpg
 Vree Tzymm Heavy Fighter:
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/bw275.jpg
and the Vree Vaarl Scout Saucer:
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/bw298.jpg

There are also the Pakmara, the Abbai, the Cascor and even the Hyath, shown below
http://www.agentsofgaming.com/fa2850.jpg
A squadron of them consisting of 1xUrutha Kal, 2xIrokai Kam, 1xTachila Kor, 1xAlichi Kav, 4xOkath Kat, 36xDartha

There are many things you can do next and I would like to thank you in advance for them, however, if possible try to complete the rest of the smaller races of the Babylon 5 universe.

[emi_100]

Thank for all the that info again.
Yes, some of them are alredy on TBP (the Brakiri ships, Dilgar and other more)
HERE are some of the sketch for the canceled B5 game of Sierra "Into The Fire" (you can see the original Dilgar sketch).
All of the concepts are very very interesting.
Thanks again.

[GT-Keravnos]

Good looking sketches there.
What can I say, seems like that you won't run out of ships to make, if you are up to it.
I think that if you build the ships, then somebody will use them down the line to make great campaigns out of them.

[0rph3u5]

Here is an "upgrade" of the Earth Aliance Explorer Ship.

Good looking there ... I personally would have made sometings different (like containers/tanks to fill those hollow areas but it is your call)

Quick compability question: Outside qeometry still the same, so collision detection remains unchanged?

Don't overbruden yourself, just keep going like you were before...


(that Barkirii base would be a cool addition IMO ... a pitty I can't model otherwise I would start working right away...)

I think that this way it's more cannon. I don't remember containers or tanks. Maybe my mistake.

Yes, remains unchanged.

Empty is cannon ... neither the Cortez nor the Columbus have anything in there

But if always been wondering why there is so much empty (appearently) un-used space on a ship that size...

[CaptJosh]

That's easy. It normally holds jump gate components. Explorer ships don't only explore. They add jump gates to the jump gate network. They also carry out repairs on damaged jump gates, because they're the only ships big enough to carry the components.

Yes, you're right.

[starlord]

just a question, given how hard it might be, but might it be possible at some point to implement the shadow planet killer command center and segments? If those are used in a nebula it could replicate the feeling of "a call to arms"...

[Vidmaster]

HERE

these additional league ships would be really helpful...

Shadow Planet Killer going to be a hard one..

Some of one are not cannon, I mean, some of that races only appeared in that game.

Meanwhile, Technomage Ship




[offtopic]Anyone know how to disable the main video on TBP? (when the game starts)[/offtopic]

the only relevent info I found on the matter was this:
