When can I have one! Could you do me a faver and make my SF Scythe for me? You can use it in your campian.

Sorry, the SSD Diablo won't be released until the prologue missions are finished, except possibly for other campaign makers who may request to use it. Also, Raven and I are currently working on balancing the weapon defaults.
I'm afraid I can't do any specific request work at the moment, I have a lot of other mods to do at the moment for the main campaign concerned with revamping the GTVA ships.

I think if you made those triangular ridges more... well... spiky, it'd look better... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) A+ work tho (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
-
It is a job well done man! Oops, I already told you that didn't I?? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
-
It looks a little too geometrically precise to be a shivan ship. Not organic enough. You might try going through and moving points around to remove all the straight lines separating sections so that its a little more flowing? That's usually the part that takes the most time on my models. Once i've got the basic geometry laid out I'll go back through and keep moving points to make the lines smoother and less linear. It makes them look a lot smoother and more realistic, especially for shivan and vasudan ships.
-
See what I said to you in the last E-mail... I'll get that sketch done ASAP!!
I told aldo, that it is too symmetrical to be of shivan origin, and that I was going to send him a sketch with some changes... you just can begin wandering about it!!!! :P
-
By the way, check out the Ghost and the Darkness site for mory info on the campaign, say what you think of the current info, and ask questions in the forums!!!
Hey HLP, don't you want to host us????

We have altered our hosting procedures a bit recently. Concern was exhibited by the staff that we were taking on too much at once, without really getting a feel for where they stood. Let me explain the new policy to you. Begin work on the campaign. Submit a request for hosting to HLP. We will take your request and place it on file to keep our eye on as work progresses. After an unspecified amount of time, if your work is continuing strong, and has not become stagnant, then you will be contacted to move your stuff to HLP.
Basically, we decided that we would rather be known for good, quality hosted material, that has not just sat for months on end, versus hosting EVERYONE that has a good idea, and then just takes up server space? Catch my drift? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I realise I'm gonna get hounded for saying this but, that ship bytes. The only good bit is the rear and you've ****** that up with poor textures.
Oh wait, that's aldo aint it? In that case it down right sucks. <smug> (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)</smug>

I'm just joking.
Cut it off at the middle, reduce the tiling multiple on the rear section and it might be good.

the only thing I think needs fixing is better turret models,

Wow! yet another person who read half what I post and judges me.
I have been up for 20 hours and can't be bothered arguing.

C'mon guys! Keep sending your idea of improvements for the Diablo! We want to make it the best Shivan vessel ever!

Originally posted by Bobboau:

I had loverly detailed turrets, but the poly count almost doubled.
This way I can add a barrelload, and still not worry too much (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
Level of spikyness is a bit of a problem, as i had a lot of flipped normals when I downsized - especially at the front - bacause they were intersecting or something.

Yes, but still, we can try to make it less symmetric... I'll send you a sketch of it soon, ok??

Whoa. Nice ship... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
I really[/i] don't want to have to alter this - it took me a week alone to make the shield dxf (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
Still, if the occassion calls for it.....
-
hmm a counterpart to the Golgotha.. nice job, but try and make it more spiky
-
Don't worry... you don't need to do the shield DXF again with what I have in mind... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
-
More black! (Sorry, but it just needs more.)
-
New angle;
(http://homepage.ntlworld.com/g.white19/diablo_r_ff.jpeg)
I like this one cos it shows the redness better from this angle.

mmh, that's a good one (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) I would make the maps less tiled, and, yes, add more curves to it, but otherwise it's a cool design. Damn I have top make a ship of this kind for HT, but can't find enough courage to begin it...

Uh-oh... it has sheilds.

This is an early pic... we will get you a pick with coloured shields and the Diablo firing its main gun (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Speaking of shields... does anybody know how to put the shields stopping beams?? Because beam weapons ignore shields... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
-
Beams will always ignore shields. The only way to make a beam that is stopped by shields would probably be the FS1 way, a primary with a looooooooong missile trail.

-
So how do you use something that powerful in a mission?
-
Lots of waves of reinforcements - or, like the first Black Omega mission, where the Lucifer jumps in ahead of the two Omega transports and the Rosetta (this is a FS1 mission). All it does is chuck fighters in (unlimited wings of them).

i am a 56k-er, it's just very 'ard to judge loading times when it's all stored in my temp file folder anyway.

That whole 56k thing is why it kind of annoys me when people always include pictures in 'reply with quote' I can't tell you how many threads there are that have to load the same picture four or five times because of this.
