It's baaaaaaack!

Oohh. Atmospheric flight, is there gravity and lift?

There are no Macross weapons in this game, and the only swarm missile fires only four missiles per volley. Sorry.

Is that a skybox or an actual mapped terrain?

I think that's a skybox.

Soft particles are really good for when you blow up an enemy capital ship:

MetalDestroyer, I would like to play the game that you are playing. Could you show me where to get the Star Wars files, please?

[MatthTheGeek]

The original ships are from Star Wars : Warlords. You can DL the HW2 files here.

[Nyctaeus]

Slowly resurrecting Ultima Cena, and playin' with some skyboxes. This one is from Machina Terra [modiffied by me].

[FSW]

Thank you for the link, Matth. Unfortunately, I don't know how to convert these files into a form that FSOpen can use! Perhaps the FS Modding forum contains a tutorial...

[MatthTheGeek]

Quick walkthrough :
1) Use unfBig to extract the .big files,
2) Go in the /ship folder, and choose a ship
3) Open the .hod file with CFHodEd
4) Extract from it the meshes (Ship Meshes tab, exported in obj) and textures (Textures tab, exported in dds).

Then find a way to convert objs into something you can import in PCS2.

It's not enought. You need to change several thing in the obj file like replacing all "," by "." and change the model axis.
I plan to release the Star Wars mods in the end of this year. But don't expect to see a campaign.

[MatthTheGeek]

Given the conversions issues you have (borked smoothing, for one), better know where the originals are

[Rodo]

that's a cool skybox right there.

You forgot to use the warpout (like so ) and are now trapped.

given the fact that i've reconverted a ton of models from HW2 to FSO for TAP.... yes, its enough, and no retardations like replacing commas with dots....

as for the smoothing, i always threw smoothing out the window anyhow....


the texture conversions are the part that takes a bit of time to get the hang of, and usually always takes a while...

[SypheDMar]

The model on the left looks like a plastic model kit as if it was made for MicroSpace.

[Snail]

Is that supposed to be part of an anime-themed mod?

Heheh, who knows

[Nyctaeus]

I like names of the ships from this project. They sounds pretty cool.

[The E]

I guess it depends on what modelling prog you export stuff into.
