Title: Original BSG TC needs help!
Post by: Raptor on September 11, 2006, 07:47:50 am
Title says it all.  I need help.  Unlike the insane Omni, I can't do everything myself.

Right now it's model debuggers, but I also need other modellers and most importantly texturers (I suck at texturing).  Concepts for new Cylon craft would be helpful too.

Please, lets not have this TC suffer the same fate as the show, fading away before it got a chance to show its worth... :(

I'm available but as far as skills, Fredding, and Pof editing....... Old school TBLs as well, I'm out of touch with the new stuff...... :nervous:


[Old BSG has far more style to the ships imho]

I could give you a hand with the tables :) (If you didn't know I do the tables for the new BSG mod as well).

*slips UT a tenner to make sure that the tables are arranged so that a suitable mod.ini is all you need to make an old + new crossover campaign)*

:D

Good timing RAPTOR....

I just got permission from the HW2 TOS mod. It's still WIP but they got soem cool stuff. They also have hybrid neo ships too.

I got a 9k Helios warstar (I friggen love it) made by Mr Who thats begging for conversion...

Don't worry about the texturing for now, just getting the models broken down so they convert, and turreted would be nice. that way we can DO something with them..

Just this weekend I was screwing around with rebuilding a baseship out of parts to see if I can actually get one in game myself.

By cutting one in half you automatically have a Tarturus class base ship (also in progress)...

More details later I'm getting ready for work now... It's been a productive weekend on several fronts...

I did have a working Base Ship, but recently it stopped working when I tried to add 'split' subsystems.  Now the model causes CTD in FRED, and hangs FS2.  This happens when I convert a new one from the cob file. :wtf:  And I've been deleting the ibx files everytime too (who came up with that idea? and why?)

Cylon Destroyer already in game (as you said GRG, cut one of the Base Ship Disks in half, mirror, turret, job done!)

Sadly, tables are one of the things I can do well, along with turreting (though my idea of a good turret layout is several times denser than we saw in FS!).  Well, old school ones.  I'm not up to speed on the new stuff, like .tbm's.  But any and all help is greatly appreicated!

LOL! :lol:  GINO would last about five seconds again the real Galactica, if that...

Currently, the Colonials have slightly more ships (Viper, Scorpion aka 6th millimium fighter, Guardian destroyer and Protector cruiser)  The last two are Todd Boyce designs.  Cylons have Raiders, Destroyers, and the aforementioned no-longer-working Base Ship.

POF editing is very much needed about now...

Cause otherwise you'd have to wait for the game to convert models every time you play and I don't particularly fancy waiting 5 minutes for Scar's Asteroid every time I play BtRL.

of course Galactica CTD on mission linitiation I think, the base star CTD when I shoot it..

That's why I'm trying a duplicatuion of effort... No offense intended.
