My container for the trident is almost done...

[StratComm]

For the Triton?  Because IIRC the Trident is a shivan sentry gun

[FireCrack]

err... eyah... triton....

[Black Wolf]

Erm... it's already almost done by me and VA - modelled, mostly textured, just awaiting lods and poffing.

Pics were posted, but I can't find 'em, so here's a new one (unfortunately it's of an old texture revision - the texture of the metal lumps on the top has been revised since then).

3412 faces (triangulated, of course, and all the Xs are modelled in, which is what gives it the bulk of those faces, but looks awesome with shinemapping.

Ugh, sorry FireCrack - I just realised I hadn't logged the TC-Tri in the HTL thread. I guess I assumed no-one would want to touch the ugly thing. :\
How far did you get with yours? And if you got to the texturing, what technique did you use?

Anyway, there's now a test version in-game, and I'm almost finished the debris. A couple of not-very-good pics:

Triton & crate

Edit: Fix0red the linx0rs.

-missile_lighting now lights missiles.  In CVS.

[FireCrack]

Cool, thanks!

[FireCrack]

All of these (and the helios) are now complete, i'l be converting them later today/tommorow. I may need somwhere to host them though...


Obligatory to-scale pictures...


harpoon is quite tiny, 2 metres long compared to a 2.6m long modern air-to-air missile (sidewinder)



The trebuchet, slightly shorter than the modern phoenix missile (4.75m compared to 4.9) but a fair bit wider...


Helios, big



The stiletto si the same length as the trebuchet, but a tad wider, and te countermeasure is i dont know how big...

Those are brilliant!

Yeah but I don't think any modern aircraft of comparable size to an FS2 fighter carries 40 to 80 sidewinders internally.

The GTA perfected a dryer-recovery system shortly after discovering through careful scientific studies that lost socks are actually transported to subspace. All GTA/PVN/GTVA fighters use a large dryer to store missiles. Missiles are loaded into matching socks two at a time, then a pair is inserted into the dryer. Once one has vanished, another missile is loaded in. This process is repeated until there is only actually one missile in realspace.

^eh??


Admins:

The board wouldnt let me post "^eh?" it said

You already submitted this post! You might have accidently double clicked, or tried to refresh.

I never posted "^eh?" in this thread, but i know i did elsewhere on the forums, is it possible the board is making it so that all of your posts must be unique?

[FireCrack]

Ohaky, the "tech model" feild works, but it's making the missiles way too big, or mabye i just frogot to scale them down.

Anwyays, all my missiles are afacing backwards at the moment, so i need to re-convert them, once this is straightened out all will be well

[Kie99]

Hmm, when I just made a post that I'd made in another thread, it allowed it through.

*shrugs*

[FireCrack]

Okay, these are essentialy done, only one problem.

When i use the "tech model" feild the previews in the loadout screen (bothe the autogenerated icon, and the main view pane) are zoomed in way too far, is there any way to fix this? all you can realy see is the midesction of all the missiles.

[StratComm]

Um, WMC, you want to take this one?

I'm assuming that the loadout picture is centered on the origin, instead of placed entirely ahead of it like with models.  If we can go this route with everything then great, but there's some funny math involved that makes this not "work" as you'd expect it to when the model is properly centered.  I think that's to be changed eventually, but IIRC we need interface art that doesn't suck (and is actually centered where it should be) before it gets touched.

[FireCrack]

Huh?

My tech models have their origin at the center of the model, are you saying this should not be? that the origin should instead be at the tail of the missile?

Prehaps that would make sense, then it would be just like the others...

I chose this way as that would make it possible to easily rotate the models about their centerpoints.

[WMCoolmon]

Mantis + assign to me.

Some art to work with would be nice.

[FireCrack]

Okay, it will be done.

On another note, anyone know where i can host this?

[redmenace]

I can put it up on warpcore if you give a link, or email me the files.
