Title: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: FireCrack on January 13, 2008, 10:06:00 am: Yay, anyone miss me?

Anyways, i've finished up the meson bomb, my computer ate the argo and rachacha to some degree (though i'm working on restoring them) but as always, I need someone else to convert the stuff for me!

Soo.. anyone available to do that? And if so, waht format do you need it in?

Edit: anyone ket track of what missiles i've had imported to the game, think there may eb a few I never got around to (Piranah? EMP Adv?)

Post by: Hades on January 13, 2008, 10:08:14 am: I probably can do it, if the 3ds file has the textures, and is UVmapped.

Post by: FireCrack on January 13, 2008, 10:33:39 am: Umm.. okay.. are there any other file formats than .3ds that you could use?

(I recall I always had this problem)

edit: nevermind

Hmm, OBJ, or any other export that can keep texture and UVmapping.
Also it needsto be able to import into Truecrap.

Here it is!

Post by: Hades on January 13, 2008, 10:51:28 am: Does it have LODs?
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Hades on January 13, 2008, 11:00:44 am: Here I hope I did paths right and docks right.

If I did paths and docking right it may.
I will check it my self.
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: FireCrack on January 13, 2008, 11:05:49 am: Ah, no it doesn't have LODs.

silly me :(

But it can dock to Tritons, and actualy looks normal doing so, If everything workecd out right, that is...
/me wants screenies
If the paths the same as the original were used the tritons docking pegs should line up on pegs on this model.

Post by: Snail on January 13, 2008, 11:08:27 am: It's small...

Scratch that, it's tiny!
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: FireCrack on January 13, 2008, 11:12:46 am: Uh, um, oops?

Scaling went wonky somewhere guess...
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Hades on January 13, 2008, 11:13:02 am: Can some one else do docking and path?
It won't dock to the Triton's main cargo dock.
Wait nvm I see that it needs resizing.
EDIT:I will be gone for a bit in a few.

Post by: BlackDove on January 13, 2008, 11:32:31 am: I don't see any screenshots.

Screenshots or it didn't happen.

Post by: FireCrack on January 17, 2008, 05:53:55 pm: So... any progress?

It won't import into PCS2, I do not have PCS1 and it will open in Modveiw which is probably why its scale went to hell.
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Zacam on January 17, 2008, 10:10:20 pm: I don't understand the filesize jump that occurs when opening and then saving something of PCS2.

You do realize you can still download PCS1, right? I still use it for POF editing since PCS2 does weird things to collision detection.

Nice work. :)

And also a working POF with LODs: clicky (http://pages.sbcglobal.net/joey.wong/bomb2t-01.pof.zip)
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Vasudan Admiral on February 19, 2008, 01:13:53 am: Err, I meant that I'd already converted it and everything. *Points at badge thingie* ;)

All right, well then just enjoy the screenshot anyway or download the model until the 3.6.10 final mediavps are released.
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Zacam on February 21, 2008, 01:01:40 am: The supplid POF has no debris or MOI. LODs are in classic ABCD.

Definately could use a re-texture too.

Still, damn fine job. A quick open, re-calc MOI and save in PCS 2.0.1 and it works wonderfully.
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Vasudan Admiral on February 21, 2008, 01:16:23 am: Err, as I said - the POF I've made and that I've put in the next MVP set has everything (cept debris - bombs don't need them). ;)
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Cobra on February 22, 2008, 06:07:23 pm: I don't like how it's textured. :nervous:

That is just the low-res texture Cobra.
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!

Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: blowfish on February 23, 2008, 11:30:44 am: Here's a shot of the new textures. They're not that different, but they are improved. Well anyway:

(http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj251/blowfishpro/bomb2.jpg)

For some reason the TGA glowmap isn't working. I had to convert to JPG to get it to show up.
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Cobra on February 23, 2008, 02:02:28 pm: Use .dds?

I don't have a converter. Maybe I'll get one at some point.
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: FireCrack on February 23, 2008, 02:54:22 pm: *facepalm* this is waht I get for trying to pick up something a long while after I last looked at tit. No debris OR LODs? Bah!

And yeah, the texture is the old one, I tweaked it a tiny bit, but it still needs a proper texture. (Note the somewhat chaotic UV mapping)

Edit: and also one of the "fins" has a misaligned texture :p

Hey! I added lods to my POF! (They're just lods from the original freespace model)

Post by: FireCrack on February 24, 2008, 07:26:16 pm: ^That's probably what I'd end up doing anyways, but the lck of debreis still disapoints me, in addition to the texture....
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Koth on February 24, 2008, 11:43:29 pm: Why would a huge bomb with a huge explosion need debris?
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Cobra on February 25, 2008, 12:18:25 am: Any kind of explosion pushes outward, and since the explosion catalyst is housed inside a container, well... you get the idea.
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: blowfish on February 25, 2008, 12:42:16 am: But wouldn't such a powerful blast vaporize the container?
Title: Re: I return, and I bring a big boomie!
Post by: Koth on February 25, 2008, 05:27:53 am: Exactly.
