You're talking about a veteran, there, man. Max is the guy behind the Bosch beer original idea, for exemple ( and that's not what impresses me most about that guy, really, but that exemple might talk to you ). You owe him respect, as one of the real founders of the FS2 community, even before HLP existed. I may soun,d like I'm kissing his butt, but I don't care, I respect him, and not only for his FS2 stuff.
Mmh, i'm gonna create a Cult of Max :drevil:

If Max's name seems familiar to some of the more recent members you might want to have a look here (http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/fs2/mods/fighterguide/)

 Anyway it was that tutorial that got me into ship modding in the first place so I guess I owe Max one :D

yah I got it somewhere too. I actually captured all the audio voices from the Mac + series where Guld and Isamu were fighting and I was going to make a dogfight mission.

Anyone wants to put it together in FRED can have the files.

Title: Hi...
Post by: Unknown Target on September 09, 2003, 10:55:14 am
Yo Max! Whatsup?

Anyways, yea, I was thinking about a Macross mod, using all the unreleased stuff from the mod before it went under (you know, brown veritech, new explosions, etc).

Oh, and welcome back! ;) Great to see you again!

:rolleyes: Guess who's tutorial I pimped on this thread yet forgot to put into the FAQ :rolleyes:

This will be rectified immediately :D

Admittedly I did link to FreespaceWatch's modding section where the tutorial lives but still I should mention the tutorial directly :D

I got a primitive crusader battliod in game to comabt the zent power armors. Will post a screen later after I add thruster glows for the backpack and arm it. then you will see a battloid dogfight.  


     Still waiting on the unreleased files that gortef said I could have access to that you didn't send yet...


      I got the textures to a tan/brown veritech so hopefully I can cheat and just transfer then to the existing veritechs as a reskin cause the other model is not as detailed. (from homeworld).

[EDIT] Just finished Zent MALE power armor #3 the coolest of the bunch. need to add thruster glows and arm it but looks fine in game!

Oh yeah, hi.

And Star, I dunno about the files, they are scattered here and there. We did have the code edited so we could transform the ship models at will. :)
Title: Hi...
Post by: Unknown Target on September 10, 2003, 05:32:10 pm
I can find pretty much all of them, Max, except for those explosions Gortef made.
Title: Hi...
Post by: Max Sterling on September 10, 2003, 05:33:12 pm
Thats great!

Oh he made the cartoony explosions!? Awesome.

Do you still remember how the transform works?

I need to get you on ICQ or AIM or something again.
Title: Hi...
Post by: Unknown Target on September 10, 2003, 05:36:31 pm
My AIM name is gbhunknowntarget. My machine is down right now, so I can't get on ICQ or MSN :(

Anyways, yea I remember, although vaguely. I think it worked where each ship transformed to the next ship in the tables list. I always had probs with getting it to work, altho r0nin didn't...

oh, God. You stole that from the Robotech MOD for Homeworld, didn't you? :D :p
Title: actually we traded...
Post by: Star Dragon on September 11, 2003, 12:56:00 pm
Quite awhile ago I got ahold of one of the team members and I converted the pof's from fs2 to generic format that they didn't use earlier and he sent me the link to the mod and I DL'ed it and used what I could. Sure the quality of maps could be better but hey a model is a model. You can always get better maps and make it look sharper/more realistic...

    I discussed my displeasure with another team that I did the same thing for their anime mod for another game (they wanted 12 pofs converted). I sent the models and maps and was supposed to get REF ships in return (and possibly invid and the SDF-3). Needless to say 3 months later I still have nothing and the team leader is convieniently missing with no one to take up the slack and passing the buck as the models were sent to another person...

Post by: Max Sterling on September 11, 2003, 01:10:13 pm
You know I've got a LOT of files that never got used for the MOD lying around... I have made Ani's straight from the show! Man that was hell, I'll never do that again. Anyway, I'll upload them for you guys... I have the ani's of Rick hunter taking off in a veritech and Zent ships flying by... plus a good portion of voice clips from the show for missions.
Title: Hi...
Post by: Unknown Target on September 11, 2003, 02:13:01 pm
I got an offer when I posted about a Macross mod for FS2 from one_klump, that we may have many of his models from his Homeworld MOD (they've come a loooong way from the Lancer II and Ghost we borrowed from them, you should check it out ;))
Title: I would ratehr not get involved...
Post by: Star Dragon on September 11, 2003, 02:35:32 pm
That name dosen't sound familiar and I don't think the person I traded with had a consensus with his team (just two people trying to help each other out).  Back then I thought it was no big deal sinc eit was gonna be for my use only BUT now that the RDF Mod was offically closed and I 've taken it upon myself for REF that the situation has changed and now I just don't want to have any bad feelings with another mod team if they dissapprove of how their HW efforts were being used for a mod project.  

   It would be really cool if it could work out but I just don't want to rock any boats... This sucks! I had to reformat my drive due to virus and lost all my internet explorer bookmarks (like HLP/FS2Sector, Bab5 project ect...) lus the dozens of mod sites I ned to track down again who's forums I used to frequent for model advice/searching...
