Well, now that you've completd the FS2 cruisers, I had expected you to graduate to corvettes, but if you go to the Aten first, will this be an isolated deviation, or will you instead go with the rest of the FS1 cruisers... Cain/Lilith, Fenris/Leviathan.  If you do try for the Fenris/Leviathan, as I've said before, please respect the Port and its differentiation between the two.  I'd also advise that you also consider doing those maps for the hi-poly Fenris... unless you consider that un-necessary.

Later!

Aye-aye-aye... what have I done...?!!!!

[Liberator]

There was a re-skin of the Leviathan from a couple of years ago(IIRC) that gave it ablative looking armor like it's supposed to have and made it look a lot different.  The problem was the light was blue instead of red and it was white.  Now I liked it cause it differentiated between the two, but the color was too much.  I would very much like to see some kind of differentiation between the two.

[Lightspeed]

Yep, i will probably have a bit of difference between the two ships. (same with the Cain and Lilith)

And yes, I will move over to FS1 cruisers for now.

[DaBrain]

Wouldn't that require a changed model?

Cause the same map, I think.

[Fineus]

Wouldn't be that hard to do really...

[Lightspeed]

Yes, this needs an altered ships.tbl as well as an altered model.

That'll be optional of course.

[Lightspeed]

I'm afraid it doesn't look as good as it could, but that's down to model issues. Most important things that come to my mind are

a) someone would have to fix the UVmapping (its odd in some parts)

b) someone would have to hi-poly this thing (or improve the smoothing -- the 'arms' are horrible)

c) someone would have to do some texture LODs to get rid of the aliasing issues (and increase performance)

Due to recent problems around here, the screenshots above lack env-mapping. So if you wondered why you didn't see any env mapping above, thats normal. You will (of course) have properly working env maps with this in your game.

sorry to be a noob, but where would I install these files (the Rakshasa files for instance) I'm looking around for information but can't seem to find it...

[karajorma]

Textures go in freespace2/data/maps/.

If you only want them to be used with a particular mod put them in

freespace2/moddir/data/maps/
