Truly excellent work! I can see you are going to be quite a benefit to this community.
What we perceive is more a reflection of ourselves than of our environment.

 
Well barring any mistakes  :nervous:
Heres the entire list of "finished" models: http://rapidshare.de/files/16255186/Models.rar.html

Included is the:
  • Raptor 2
  • Excalibur 2
  • Encantona
  • Kamranekh
  • Goran
  • Vampire
  • Pirahna

Each is in their own VP file, along with the updated additional.vp file.

Oh and after seeing a certain ship a lightbulb went off..  I've cut and pasted a sketch of a destroyer or cruiser last night so I wuoldn't forget how to do it latter...
Its far from anywheres near to being complete... needs tons of work yet. (detailing, optimizing, etc...)

I've just tested them. Just wouaw !!  Amazing work. The cockpit instrument is good but it's just basic airflight instrument :(

 
Ugh these models aren't as good as I thought... both the Excalibur and Vampire have completely locked up in game. Game starts thrashing the drive and basically requires a reboot.  :no: :ick:  :(

Got a problem. The Pirhana "Surrender. Bellisarius" mission gives no primaries. Three types are listed, 0 are available. At least one of those types is supposed to be a balistic primary with an ammo count of 500 rounds. I'd let you know what it's called, but I don't have my copy of WC Prophecy handy.

Strange it should have two or three types allowed, meson and dust, their just there acting as placeholders. replace them with Saga's mass drivers, lasers and stormfire.  I don't know how to have 3 gun mounts and only allow to use two at a time.

And as for the hard crashing... it's either not all the ship's subobjects centerpoints weren't centered to the object and/or I quit using the new media vps, game runs much faster now.  Cap ship explosions and beams where bring the whole system to it's knees.. like 0.5 fps..

I think he is referring to the aprils fools demo we releases quite some time back, there was a rough weapons.tbl in it. But since it was based on the freespace demo, I'm not sure those entries work with nowadays versions, and on the other side, everything in there should be easy to rebuild for everyone with a little experience in table editing. :)

I would provide you a link to the weapons.tbl, but unfortunately I don't have that thing anymore :(

I might could rework it, just by comparing to another weapons table, but it would probably get added as a tbm in this case.

Hmm... Event Horizon meets WC - not bad.
All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
And a laughing yarn from a merry fellow rover.
And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

Very cool looking indeed.  I think the texture is great but the colours seem off.  The purple has turned slightly pink and the gray with slight brown hue is completely brown.  I think that needs to be worked on a bit....but those things aside the Pirahna is a beautiful ship and very well done.

Sorry not familiar with the april fools joke..

My weapons table fits no-wheres in Saga. Their doing WC2-WC3 era (right?), where-as most of my ships (except the Vampire and Pirahna which are as close to canon as I can get with the model) are in the post-Prophecy: Secret ops era. Some weapons have been decommissioned and some newer ones added. I've attempted to balance with the existing freespace weapons, that way I can play test with existing missions. (Heavier damage but slower refire and larger energy drain)

As far as the weapon mounts are concerned. I setup the gun models and gun positions, the actual weapons could be anything you want, they could be Subtacts and Promethses or even photon torpedos LOL :lol:  :drevil:

True, but then all it takes is loading the mission in fred and adding the ship/weapons to the available list  :)

I'm a player and a beta tester, not a mission scripter. I don't know the first thing about using FRED, nor do I have the time to learn it right now. Furthermore, since he did want people to test it, I have. And I have found a bug in the test script.

Goes this problem also occur with the show off mission? If not, then it's a mission error.  My FRED knowledge is limited too..
