Hello,
in addition to this thread here :
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,27638.0.html
I finally finished my sentrygun-models. I took some of the previous wishes and critics into account and made the following changes :
- flipped the missile and flakturrets on the terran and vasudan variant.
- changed the vasudan turrets a little
- terran variant received a complete texture overhaul, and some greeblings (pipes, don't know what their purpose is, but I like them )
- new turrets for the terran variant
- the arms on the shivan variant are now more round, and not only squared.
- UV-Maps, as good as I could. Some minor things still disturb me, but the UV-Space and the textures made we nearly walk up the wall :D
- Sorry, no shields (I couldn't make them work ingame, and bubbleshields would protect to much "empty" space. So no shields at all :( )
- I hope the names aren't used yet. I used egypt for the vasudan : http://www.egyptianmyths.net/ammut.htm and greek underworld mythology for the shivan one :http://www.theoi.com/Protogenos/Erebos.html
As I promised, I'll now release the models for the public, and you are free to use them in your mod/games to your liking. Just be so kind and give me some credit :) I tested the models ingame, and everything seems to work fine. If not, pls post any errors.
Here is the download-link (2,4 MB) : download advanced sentryguns (http://www.scifi-3d.de/wcsaga/Starman/downloads/sentryguns.rar)
and here are the screenies/renders. Enjoy :)

Those look great. :yes:
You migt want to consider uploading the models too though. I'm sure someone with modding skill will like them enough to give them shields sooner or later :)
-
Really cool. But how they got names like Ammut and Erebos (I think it's Erebus) while the Terrans got something crappy and unoriginal like Gunstar? Might as well call our future sentry guns Eastwoods... :lol:
-
I like the vasudan one hte best.. Cool..
-
These are some REALLY nice mods mate. REALLY NICE:D :yes:
-
Nice... :yes:
-
Well, looks like the Alastor just got pushed off my ship.tbl... :yes:

[color=66ff00]Hey the Gunstar is the best thing since sliced, heavily armed bread. So says Star-League. :p

Hmmm, now all that's needed is an RBC for the Shivans...*ponders this*
-
I think there is a Shivan RBC. Check Hades Combine...
-
Well it seems as though the Shivan sentry gun is not working. No weapons are loaded in Fred for the turrets. Anyone else experience this??
-
double post sorry
-
Ah, sorry. Like I said, I had no freespace-version running to test the original weapons (I used my own tables for testing). Change the weapon-entries in the shivan ships.tbl from "shivan turret" to "Shivan Turret Laser", then it will work.
I have uploaded the package again and corrected that error :)
-
They look as good as ever. I'm willing to try and give them shields.

And the Shivans do have an RBC. Its at the Hades Combine.

Hmm, you would think with all the modding I have been doing lately that I would have know this, duh. :lol:
-
They're nice.
........but I think the designation should be changed.
They should be small defense installations like the Acheron.
-
I'm not sure that's the best texture scheme for the Gunstar. The yellow-black caution paint screams "Look out! Keep your distance, I'm a sentry gun!" ;)
-
Shivans might be colourblind (like me :D)

Might be good if you think of it as a security device to stop pirates and the like.

Yep, me thinks you have a point there matey:D
-
Looks good. I'll have to use them in my campaign sometime in the future.
-
Heh, I remember when you first displayed these.
Sweet. Just as always.
-
I think this gentleman has developed an excellent new generation of turrets for FS2, those turrets would look good on many other designs than just these gun platforms
