uh... not exactly sure, somewhere within 50 miles of Minneapolis. My mom's sister lives there, so I don't really pay much attention to where it is. I fly out there in about 11 hours

Hey, I'm still not home, but I'm back in Ohio where I actually have internet access. I wish I could say I had some new progress to report, or at least a model converted into pof, but I cant get PCS2 to work on my computer. I think I've got the texture for your viper/arwing recompiled (i cheated and used a blender script to just combine the images) but due to my lack of other available modeling tools, coupled with PCS2 not displaying any model i put into it has made it impossible to test for compatibility.

So instead of dealing with the frustration of an unknown cause have you "considered" trying PCS1 or MV just to be sure it's not the model? *hint*

coupled with PCS2 not displaying any model i put into it has made it impossible to test for compatibility.

Go to options, type in    .\    and hit add.
Basically it adds the directory the pof is in to the texture search path. That way you can put the pof and textures in the same directory any where on the hard drive. Makes it simpler for testing stuff.

wow...i've been gone a while....Anywho, if your having trouble pofing it, its no big deal.  I have finally gotten my computer back up and running with truespace 3.2 and 7.6, as well as both pcs programs.     Now to redownload my own models and contact the other members of my own mod team.

i just installed truespace 7.6, and upgraded my RAM, sometime thursday when i have time i'll get back to work on texturing

Ahh another N.D.

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, I've been playing bioshock and UT3. Now that I've beaten bioshock I've got some new inspiration for textures, much more detail than before, and longer turnaround time, but hopefully once i put up some screens it will be worth the wait. I was wondering if you were planning any large ships?

[skygunner58203]

one or two are planned...but i have no idea where to start.  Got blueprints drawn out and everything.  Still have no viable fix for my computer issues (at parents house right now).  However i should have a working pc again soon.  I may have posted b4 about having a working pc....disregard please.

[Twaysan]

I know how frustrating PC issues are, especially while not at home. My laptop crashed stateside (fortunately i had just bought and backed up to a new external) I just hope you get your computer up and running. Whats the  problem? I may be able to help, I'm actually a trained computer technician (i make pizza because it pays well, and there arent many other open jobs).

As far as my newer more detailed texturing, the first one involves glowing blue "veins" with a sort of tear between the veins and the hull. Hard as hell to explain, but given the right time and resources it should look pretty impressive.

[skygunner58203]

thanks for the offer of help, i do a lot of repair work in my free time (side job). anywho, its just a part failure.  waiting on my new pegasus computer from raptor pcs

[skygunner58203]

In a fit of insanity, i have bumped my own thread.  I have FINALLY got a viable fix for my computer as my Pegasus compy from raptor isn't ready yet (waiting on an OS disk still).  Unfortunately i need to find my files so i can restart my little project.  Twaysan, if you see this i'd like to know if A: you still have the files? and B: Are they textured?  I have started an attempt on a cap ship but truespace 3.2 and 7.6 leave much to be desired.  I am now working on attempting to learn blender.

If ANYONE has textured versions of my old craft i'd be greatly appreciative if they could be posted or sent to me.

Thanks

hey, just got over computer issues of my own... Vista went caput... Upped my HDD just found an adaptor for my old one... I have the files, the textures previously displayed still exist, but i need to find them all... I'll send them to you once i dig through my old drive and locate them... Sorry I havent been around, but my system is back up and running at 95% after a couple months of trying to configure it to work with an OS it wasnt meant to support. I've learned my lesson though, i now have a total of 4 hard drives, each one with an OS installed and configured (two Oses on my primary drive) and triple backups of all my files.

I'm still willing to help out with texturing, but my progress will be drastically slower since i now have a side job and a Certification to study for.

[skygunner58203]

Well, at least you managed to kill ur computer gremlins.  If you can find those files it would be great.  i really don't wanna try and start over.  and yes if your still willing to texture i will create models for you.

[Twaysan]

I've managed to find all of the model files... The textures however seem to have been messed up during my multiple hardware swaps. I'll upload the models shortly. I still have the original pieces of the textures, but I need to put them back together. The textures will be uploaded as soon as I manage to get photoshop running again and stitch them back together.

Edit: Models uploaded in three formats: the original format, and the Blender files, the third version is just the transition format i used in my converter.
