Title: Did anyone ever finish this?
Post by: StratComm on April 05, 2002, 06:47:29 pm
I was doing some digging (don't know how I missed it in the first place, but nevermind) and ran across this model.

(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/the158th/misc/cd2.jpg)

and a thread to go with it:HLP Thread "For Sale" (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,6426.0.html)  My question: has anyone completed this model?  (Turrets and LODs?)  If not, I may be able to glue up a beta version pretty quickly.  Would anyone be interested?

I think LtNarol was playing with it. Ask him.

That's what I thought, but he can't turret (or at least not well).  I think the pic above was of LtNarol's version.

Anyway, I finished turreting it and all; here is a pic (I am looking into actual FTP space sometime next week, so bear with me).  I made it a battleship, destroyer size or larger, but with no hangers.  A main fleet weapon, if you will.  It has 12 main cannons, 7 large (long range/heavy) flak guns, six turreted missile launchers, and 14 small turrets (AAAf or turret laser; I haven't decided).  The model is converted, but not tested.

Correctico! we need a turreter and if you read the last few posts, we were getting kinda desperate.  If you can turret the blasted thing, i can do a bit of touch-up painting on the turrets and then convert it and the model will be ready for release.

Because white makes a smaller filesize.

Turreting requires Truespace 2 or later and the Freespace 2 Ship Creation Guide (Search google for it, I can't ever remember where it is) to explain the heirarchy.  For thruster effects, you simply specify a thruster coordinate and vector in a pof editor, like the pof constructor suite.  You will find FRED2 and waypoints very helpful for that.

It looks awesome.  But it really, really should have a hangar.

That model is public anyway, so you can download it yourself.  If you want my version, it will be up in a few days, if I can get some web hosting.  And it does have hangers.
