Do you have to make your own turrets in TrueSpace to add to a model, or can you borrow the stock turrets?

If you can use the stock turrets, how do you get them into TrueSpace?

[pyro-manic]

I suppose you could use the turrets from another model, but it'd probably be easier to make your own. You'd have to convert the pof to a cob(?), then copy the turret and attach it properly to your new model.

Most turrets from the game are very simple anyway - either a very short hexagonal prism (single-part turrets), or a box with another box for the barrel (multi-part). Easy to make.

Import a :V: model, rip a turret off it and save it as a cob. Then create your custom ship, import the model, stick it on your ship, done.

However, I've noticed a tendency for modellers to make their own for sake of quality.

Edit: looks like I was beaten to it.

i have to agree, fs2 turrets are really ****ing ugly

[Getter Robo G]

For single part , V's are ok but the multi ones are for ****

Best bet is to ask someone to use theirs. I've been scrounging some of the games I go tinstalled and lookign for objects that put together look like good turrets or luanchers.

I've had some succes breaking objects down and they look like good secondaries.

[Boomer]

All right, any body got some s I could borrow?

(Don't tell me you couldn't see that one from a mile away. )

[Nuke]

i got some old prefab ones that i really dont use anymore, but my time is short and i cant send em to you till later.

[Boomer]

That's okay.  If I have anything I've got time.

I'll just have to start on the next part of my little project.

[Nuke]

oh i forgot about you, what format did you want thoseturrets in? cob or 3ds?


wait, yr using truespace, i beter give you cobs

get your here

theres one that has a single texture, the rest have of standard fs textures, theese are left over from the pre-htl days. so they might redce performance abit because of the extra texture passes.

[Boomer]

Nice turrets.  I especially like the gat's.  Great work, seriously.

[Nuke]

gatling turrets still arent in the code, but i think the coders are otimistic about those being implemented. all they have to do is make vwep work on turrets really. these are the ones im phasing out in favor of new high-poly ones.

[Boomer]

That's ok.  Can't wait to see the high poly
