Title: Kilrathi K'ha'haf
Post by: Woolie Wool on November 11, 2003, 02:14:38 pm
Have you ported this ship yet? I kind of like it; it resembles an FS1 Vasudan freighter in a good way.

yes and no.. .the mesh we have used was ripped directly from the game. Those who have worked with them know that it is not much of a use, missing or doubles faces, wrong uv coordinates, bad textures, etc...

in the near future we' ll remodel the mesh from scratch... I'll post a few screenshots once we have anything presentable

That ship doesn't look like any ship ever seen in FS except maybe Boshs Iceni dressed up as asteroid and that thing is a zillion times bigger.:p

It sort of reminds me of the Bast and Ma'at.

Jup Tolwyn is right..the Khahaf makes me run up the wall and jumoing out the window.
Ether the original model is so quite bad (can't think of that, because some profs made it, but I found things that let me realy think that it was so bad at the beginning) or the converter that rips it from the game is quite bad.
The thing itself looks great, but its a pain in the ass to redu or just to repair the errors in it.
With Tolwyns new method of making rocks we will hopefully make an even better Khahaf.

Well actually the model works quite fine. I tested the fighter out in
Freespace and all is o.K. It even has debris.

Only problem is, that we can't add some LOD's due to the geometrie-
errors Lars mentioned, they always screw up PCS.

Maybe it need some textur-corrections, but see for yourself:

Nice, but it no longer has that semi-Vasudan look to it because of the color change.

Looks very good, though I'd say that it would look better with individual textures on the ships main body instead of that tiling;)

I agree Lynx, do your best :p

If you got time left, I could send you the model, but I would rather
suggest we keep this on the backburner. When the errors are
corrected, I will build the ship up again and then it's all yours, otherwise you must do here double work.

It's just a f*cking asteroid guys. As Starman said, this is one in the backburner as we have other projects to worry about. We don't have the resources to work on everything at one time.

Hey, I liked the rock fighter.  It was nifty concept.

Looks like a rock, shoots you like a fighter. Nifty.

Though a blatant theft of my idea. Damn those guys from Origin, I knew they were spying on me...

That explains the addition of that huge, flamboyant, half-rabbit half-hippo thing to their last game.

Um... that one wasn't mine, I swear.


Going this way now. Quickly.

No no, it was cool, plenty of armor plating (or asteroid armor) to shoot through to kill these guys.  Ironically, I almost always chose the Arrow for that mission - outmanuver them big time.

I agree, it was a fun mission and interesting to all of the sudden have rocks shooting at you :)
