Title: Acquiring Hi-Poly Shivan Fighter
Post by: Boomer20 on January 01, 2014, 04:56:33 pm
Hey HLP
For my campaign I am creating, I am looking for a cool hi-poly shivan fighter.
After looking around on the wiki I narrowed down my search to the SF Ifrit.
Unfortunately it is a part of an asset dump and I can't download said asset dump. (Something about invalid keys or file not found on mediafire)
Is there any other way to get said ship or would I have to look for another ship. If I have to look for another ship any suggestions for a fast fighter?

Yep, looks like it was deleted/lost and wont be replaced until ED releases act 1

Take a look on the Inferno Shivan Shippack. We released such a pack. For example... SF Mantis might be something that you're looking for. I'm too lazy asshat to reupload ED files again, especialy now when we're closing to the release of Act I.

The Mantis was one i was looking at as an alternative, as well as the Chimera i think both are in the ship pack in fact.

Edit: Downloaded the pack, cheers for the help.
When its released I will find a use for that Ifrit. I don't know what it is about it but I really like the look of that one.

Boomer, please note that if you want your Shivan fighter to be fast, you simply have to modify its table entry and make all necessary changes without sticking to the original parameters. Any custom made Shivan fighter can be modified and turned into a fast one. :)

Here's the Ifrit:

Mediafire link (https://www.mediafire.com/?o3941z9ubncqb70)

Full credit to the ED team, of course, this is simply extracted from their modeldump. You will have to edit the table file, as it still has their weapons and placeholder tech description. Also, it doesn't seem to be set up for speed (more like crazy manoeuverability and heavy shields) so any changes you want to make there will also have to happen at your end.

Don't worry I already have a grasp on editing tables (and was going to do it anyway) :) part of my logic behind making my campaign was to do things I wouldn't normally do, such as growing my FREDing skills by making more complex mission and creating weapons (I'm recycling in-game weapon animations though) and lastly in this case editing the tables of ships. All in the name of making me a better modder.  :D

Thanks heaps Black Wolf, downloaded it straight away, giving that ED is going to be releasing soon there's no problem using the ship is there?

They modeldumped it already, so you can use it however you like, whether ED releases tomorrow or never.
