Title: GTF Actaeon: yours if you want it
Post by: Sushi on April 14, 2009, 10:02:57 pm: This is a fighter I made a long, long time ago. I never really finished it, it's low poly, and the textures are pretty ugly. I DID get it to a point where I could fly it in missions, so that's something I guess. I suppose the ship had potential, and I still really like the ship's lines, but I have no interest in building ships anymore (modding the glide physics is MUCH more fun! :D). So, I'm dumping it here, for anyone who may ever want it for any reason. Enjoy!

Edit: And no, I don't want to join your forum.

Post by: Getter Robo G on April 15, 2009, 12:15:43 pm: Hmm cute little ship. yes I agree with all your points (especially the potential part though).
It looks like a Imperial Gunboat mated with something. :) Cool!

Too bad you're not modeling anymore...

(Snatches it for TOS Juggernaut Bomber placeholder)

Post by: Snail on April 15, 2009, 01:22:21 pm: If I'm honest it looks like something from Descent.
Title: Re: GTF Actaeon: yours if you want it
Post by: Sushi on April 15, 2009, 02:05:28 pm: Yeah, I've heard a few people compare it with Descent's Pyro GX. It definitely has a similar profile.

Screenshot please?
I love the Pyro GX design, the other Pyro models can rot in a scrap heap.

Title: Re: GTF Actaeon: yours if you want it
Post by: Sushi on April 15, 2009, 09:19:37 pm: I would provide screenshots, but...

Embarassingly, I don't remember how to get the model into the game. :) I know that all the pieces are there in the ZIP, but I don't remember where to put them all in order to make them function. Anyone want to refresh my memory?
Title: Re: GTF Actaeon: yours if you want it
Post by: Hellstryker on April 15, 2009, 09:54:13 pm: tbms or tbls go into the tables folder, textures in maps, and models in... models? all of which are located in the Data folder in the root FS 2 directory. Or if they aren't there, just create em.

I know it's all the rage around here, flaming James and all, but don't give in to peer pressure or you'll get monkeyed like me.

Hmm. Looks pretty good actually... Better than some of the stuff out there.
Title: Re: GTF Actaeon: yours if you want it
Post by: Commander Zane on April 16, 2009, 05:17:45 pm: Wait...what...? That's comparable to a Pyro GX?
A high-poly version of this would turn out to be an interesting design, but comparable to a Pyro GX it is not.

Post by: asyikarea51 on April 16, 2009, 10:39:49 pm: Looks like something out of TVWP or the old 158th exposition data if you asked me... :nervous:
Title: Re: GTF Actaeon: yours if you want it
Post by: IronBeer on April 20, 2009, 12:16:20 am: Actually not that bad, if I say so myself. I'd wager it would look quite nice in-game with the shinemaps and whatnot...
Title: Re: GTF Actaeon: yours if you want it
Post by: Droid803 on April 20, 2009, 12:25:23 am: DL'ed it and took a look, and yeah, it's pretty decent, thought it looks dated, even when it really isn't (?).
Title: Re: GTF Actaeon: yours if you want it
Post by: Sushi on April 20, 2009, 07:35:43 am: I made it in 2001, and haven't done anything with it since. So "dated" is definitely appropriate. :)

But yeah, I imagine with some work, it will make quite a decent ship for some mod somewhere. Like I said in the first post, "yours if you want it." :D

Post by: Getter Robo G on April 21, 2009, 12:09:54 am: Trust me, when (if) I get done you'll barely recognize it. At least enough to sue... :lol:
