You can read that!??!?

[sarcasm]No, I'm just psychically attuned to the nameplates of ships posted in screenshots.[/sarcasm]

BTW, wouldn't it be great if bbcode had [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags? It would prevent so many stupid arguments and name-calling and stuff... tho I imagine it would feel kind of funny having to read that someone is being sarcastic, it's better than assuming or not knowing they are, amirite?

Well, it's pretty clear that it doesn't say NTF Iceni

I didn't see the nameplate at all until Aardwolf pointed it out...and I still can't read it.

The "NTCV" part is pretty obvious.  And the following word is quite a bit longer than "Iceni"

[Mongoose]

I had to crank my monitor brightness about halfway up to even see that there was a nameplate to begin with.

  You might consider adjusting your monitor's settings...

[Mongoose]

Hey, I'm on a CRT.  If I'm going to spend several hours out of every day staring at it, I'm keeping its brightness level down to a minimum.

More to the point, that's one sexy model, no matter how bright it is.

[Colonol Dekker]

What's "ship lab"? And i might attempt a Boadicia

[Galemp]

F3 from the Main Hall. Lets you browse ships and weapons with a little more control than the tech room.

As for attempting the Boadicea... uhm, well, I recommend you try making a low-poly version and getting it in-game before investing too much effort into making it pretty.

[blowfish]

I though Nx already partially made the Boadicea

[Vasudan Admiral]

Linky no workey, but I do *vaguely* remember something like that. How far along was it?

Well anyway, if anyone does want to try the big rock I'll send them the nessecary Iceni files.

[blowfish]

Linky no workey

Dis one workey betar?

[Vasudan Admiral]

Indeed. If that's still going then cool, but if on the other hand it's been lost or abandoned, then it's not the huge loss I was afraid of fortunately.

It's just one of the hipoly asteroids modified to fit. I can post the file if you want

[Vasudan Admiral]

Well feel free, but I won't be working on it. It represents a huge amount of work to get right, and I just don't have time ATM.

No problem. Actually I should have said "if anybody wants it".
BTW, could you send me the .blend file of the completed ship (IIRC you use blender, right?)

[Vasudan Admiral]

Yeah sure: http://game-warden.com/starfox/Non_SF_related_stuff/MVP3610BETA/HTL_Iceni_DevFiles.zip

I think those are all the important bits.

I think I found a problem...

This is how it looks:



This is how it's supposed to look:



The texture got rotated 90° during conversion (my mistake, I rotated it in max). It won't be the end of the world if it gets released like this, but could you fix this please?
Here's a blend file with the texturing fixed in case that helps.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Sorry - the texture has been baked down to a single image on a rather complex UV map with baked on AO lighting and a baked glowmap + normal map. It would be possible to rotate it manually on all those maps and the shine map, but I kinda doubt that would work out too neatly.

I think it'd be best just to leave it as is really. I would have fixed it if I'd noticed it and/or thought it too ugly.

[Titan]

so after 3 years, it's done? THANK THE MAKER!
