Title: Faldari Mk 2 fighter
Post by: Scooby_Doo on August 24, 2006, 11:55:58 pm

Next up on the list....

From the old image:

course after seeing the new pics it looks quite a bit different, but oh well..


BTW I'm going back and redoing most of the tables, shinemaps, misc small bugs in what i've all released and going to be re-releasing them sometime in the future in one big package.

Question: Who has worked with weapon normal convergance? I can't seem to get them working.

You have to set convergence in the POF thru the normals. I usually set the normals to be +250 forward, then tweak them until they intersect at 250 meters. Then I think you also have to put a flag in the tables.

Model looks good, although the middle part seems to be pretty off - there should be a nose, the cockpit shouldn't go all the way to the front. Also, are those holes in the wings?

Ahhh I'll have to look at the flags then....

Yes the newer pics from CIC, the Faldari does have holes in the wings.  In fact a lot of the Privateer 2 ships do have holes in weird places.

You have to add "gun convergence" to the ship flags :)

Sweet thanks, now I've got to remember my trig to get the angles right.  Kinda wish PCS would show you the vector.

HAHAH... well now that CIC does have some good pictures to work with...

Although having someone actually convert the models to pof would speed things up.   Glares at Colonol... *cracks whip* LOL j/k

Is it just me or does that look like a bastard hybrid of terran and Kilrathi design philosophy?

Noticed two things, the cockpit glass turns blue at lod 1+, the extras.dds needs to be tweaked a little and I need to adjust my pcx->jpg converter.. the image quality gets considerably worse.
