Ah, the Battle Wagon used in the mouse-trap. It looks nothing like it....other than being round.

Needs more detail/darker texturing of the hull. Other than that...pretty cool.

Thats what I mean when I say what I *SAW* not what was on the screen...

I like a lot actually  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
nice hangar  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) Try to add some details one the hull, things that goes out, stuff like that, and it will be great  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Can you email those Hanger textures please [email protected] very good ship  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

That's a great model; its general style sets it apart from most of the others and it is pretty complex considering that the overall shape is basically a cylinder. I love that hangar too. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Nice one  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
But you should fix the links, for people with less advanced browsers.
Title: Here they are! Screens of the Barrel!
Post by: LAW ENFORCER on January 13, 2002, 01:26:00 pm
links? what links whats wrong with them...

Venom, if you read the topic about ModelView32 and a problem you will see that I put it back under 3000 polys (total) to get it working (turrets etc). So no sticky out points - I use MS3D! YAY! so I try and use minial maps in MS3D which means small details which means gigger ships look a little streached. I don't notice in game so I hope no one else will either...

Zeronet - what hangar textures? There just FS2 bits cut and pasted on to a map then mapped on to the hangar... what DO you mean? Wait if you mean the runway suff - err.... do you have battel cruiser 3000 or something (the new thingy) I *THINK* its a texture from that (the demo anyway) with some modifications...    ... is that what you mean?

Can anyone guess where the main grey texture comes from?

Still if you just mailed me the texture for the runway it would help.

You put a \ in front of the image name in the  path, instaed of a /. Because of this my browser (Nutscrape 4.7) thinks the filename would be pics\barrelXX.jpg and just shows broken image icons.

AH! Didn't knwo my broser does that... oh well... I'll fix it then  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I gotta say this thing is just ugly as hell. I love it.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) Is it possible to spawn player ships for missions inside this thing so they actually have to 'take off'?

That's one thing I always disliked about Freespace. You're called to duty, they drug you, and the next thing you know, you wake up in your fighter flying alongside your ship. Its really quite odd.

Thats way i started the Hanger Movement. Its perfectly possible to start the game inside the hanger of a ship and have reinforcements come from the hanger. It all spawned when i asked if the GTD [G](BWO thing super uber ship  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)) had a hanger you could fly into. Great things start small  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I liked the mission in FS2 where you statred on a 'wing' of the hectate. Closest thing to a hangar start. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) (I think)

Hangars are cool - some of the bigger ships have massive hangars with mulitple entrances (the TSC carrier has 3 (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif))

I have a mission or two where you start inside a fighterbay. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

All three of my ships, the GTExD, the GTExE and the GVCa Amaunet, have fly-throughable parts. The only one that isn't a hangar proper is the GTExE, but that's just a big engine.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

The only ship im making that doesnt have a Hanger is (hopefully) the Small Tug for TS. In about 2mins the intial model will be up for view.
