Title: When do we finally get to have fun with the BSG mod?
Post by: Droz on February 23, 2005, 10:13:38 pm

cause DAMN I want!

I had to change my pants twice cause of all these screenshots.

Tell me I'll be able to satiate my appetite in the near future.

Is there going to be a campaign included?

It looks like there will be a campaign, yes. But, it's only been like what, 2 weeks since it began?

Welcome to HLP, Droz. It's early days yet for the BSG mod, but something will certainly come of it - just too good to miss. ;)

:welcome:

I know.  I can't help mysel;f though.  I'm virtually overwhelmed by this stuff after finding this site 2 weeks ago and all it's glory.  But this BSG is just amasing stuff.

Err. It's implemented already. Search a bit more.

Look for "show_ship" or something. Download a recent build, get a fighter with a cockpit, and put that in the flags.

What are the details for 3d cockpit implementation? What thread and build should I look for?

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,29629.0.html Has the details IIRC.

With the current implementation:

1) Add cockpit to ship
2) Set eyepoint at proper spot inside cockpit
3) Use the "show ship" ship flag.

Interestingly, you can actually - if you model the details for it - set up the eyepoint so you see the pilots helmet as well as the cockpit...

Via the launcher? I downloaded the build and "-show ship" doesnt work.....  

::edit::Nevermind... its a TBL thing... ok.

Is there a way you can look around inside the cockpit?

Hold down the numpad enter key (IIRC; either that or 0, I.m on a laptop with no numpad atthemo) and move the joystick.  The red dot in that piccy shows the logical center view (the hud dissapears when you look around)

I'm still counting the days (if there are days) till they show us screen shots of the Viper Mark VII.  Am I the only one that thinks the Viper Mark VII is so much cooler?

Viper mk2 > all.

That gun on the tail kills the mk7.

Found this nifty comparison chart of the Vipers some time ago. Too bad there are no official designs for the Mark III - VI. That fanbased Viper looks tempting. I believe the Damoclesx, who's disappearance motivated me to take on this project, made a Mark IV. There are shots of it in this thread http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,29201.0.html

I think the design looks too funky for me.

Pfft...the blending of the wings into the fuselage, the angle on the fuselage in relation to the wings and the engine are what makes it a superb looking craft.

The extra gun is great too :D

I like the way the ship looks armored. Very much like their flight suits. Very ARMIDILLO-like.
