Title: Need help for Campaign
Post by: Grey Wolf on March 29, 2001, 07:15:00 pm
For my upcoming campaign, "The Sword, The Hammer, and the Sun," I'm going to need some help.

3D Modeler: Don't care what program. It's just that whenever I make a model it looks screwed up and has holes in it.

Texture Applier: Has to have TS. All I have is TS2 Trial and for some reason the mapping is screwed up.

Map Converter: Needs to have a paint program that allows opening/saving of PCX files and allowing you to set color depth.

If you want to sign on, just post here.  I'll give you credit in the credits and preference in future campaigns. I'll mail the info for campaign and files for editing through e-mail.

Well, for the Map Converter I suggest you download Irfanview(just do a Google search.) It does very nice color depth changes-I've shifted BMP files from 24-bit to 256-color with almost no visible loss in detail.

No need for FRED2 Programmers?

Hellooo!!

3D modeller at your service. Do you want me to work from pics or is it a little imaginative thinking that's required?

I got some concept sketches, so I'll mail them to you.

Hmmm, this seems a little simple. What is it? A fighter or something bigger? Give me some idea and I'll come up with something snazzy. For ideas go to

Did you read the top? It said GTXD Mars. It's a destroyer! I couldn't come up with anything other than a vague ouline. So come up with whatever you want as long as it follows the rough design I gave you.  It's supposed to be 2-4 times bigger than the Orion. I know you'll come up with something good.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/devil.gif)

Whoops, me being too eager again   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Do you have any kind of model viewer? It's just that I may have something already built that could fit the bill.

3D explorer would be ideal.

I have 3D Explorer. Either e-mail it to me at [email protected] or post a link on this forum. If you're dine with this I'll send you another concept sketch. This one's a lot more complete.

Um. Can you don't make the link go to a 3dm file? You caused my computer tohang.

Yikes! IT hung because of the link?!?

I'll try a fix   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I don't know if it'll do the same but I relinked to a zip file instead. Happy surfing  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I've just been noticing this valued member thingy.

Setekh, is there a "lack of common sense member" category? I'd like to volinteer to be the first  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

When it comes to lack of common sense I go far above and beyond the call of duty.

No, I'm in the US. In Central New York (Middle of Nowhere TM). I just use Another because all of the free E-Mail services I can find in the US either suck or have spam problems.

Just got a look at that model.  It's perfect!  We may have to resize it, but other than that it's great!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)  I have one question though, does it have any turrets?  I didn't see any.
Title: Need help for Campaign
Post by: Martinus on April 02, 2001, 07:26:00 pm
There are two turrets, both are for huge rotating beam cannons (the ship was initially designed as a destroyer for Homeworld).

More can be added depending on it's specification.

Oh and thanks.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Post by: Grey Wolf on April 02, 2001, 07:57:00 pm
Since it's a destroyer could you perhaps add some defensive turrets? Perhaps like the Orion ones? Thanks.

Sure. Send along that other design you were talking about.

So, Setekh, what's with this "Valued Member" status thingy? Any bonuses? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
