You're probably thinking of the AF KATO... (and frankly I'm confused, "general mod material" would be like DaBrain's pack: [ effects, tables, maps, models that can plug into any campaign]).

Has anything in this thread actually been released as General Mod Material?

[Turey]

You're probably thinking of the AF KATO...

That was it. Thanks. 

[Snail]

its meant to be sub-par for a reason. it plays into the story of the mod.

heres one fo the lines: beta 3: wow...nice ships (sarcastic)

By 'sub-par' they mean crap, not 'sub-par' in-game.

Here's a comparison for you:


The GTF Hercules. Arguably the best fighter in FreeSpace 1. However:


Anubis class fighter. Is it weak? Yes. Does it look weak? Yes. Does it still look cool and professional? Yes.


Your fighter. Is it weak? Supposedly. Does it look weak? Supposedly. Does it look professional? No. It looks like what I was experimenting with in TS 3.2 in 30 seconds.

My point is, a weak ship does not look crap. A weak ship is not a block (by a block I don't mean Ursa, I mean an actual cube). Karajorma's GTC Big Fat Brick is not a pirate cruiser.

This is supposed to be constructive criticism, not a flame. If it looks like it, I'm sorry.





And on a side note, Turey, your cargo container isn't too hot either. (don't play with your balls and make it into a fighter)

[Unknown Target]

anywho, WIP ancient (the species) fighter. the AF kaamos. screenies when its in the beta stage.

See? This is why you've got the people over at GW mad at you. Do you even read the comments in your threads?

[takashi]

first, its su[[osed to lok like crap. more of script...this time a debriefing....

...you will be flying a ne wfighter desinged by ....jr....for this mission. be aware that the looks have been seriously degraded by his amature desing skills but it packs one.... of a loadout

some parts removed to avoid spoiling. and yeah, its somewhat of a comedy.

[brandx0]

... Okay...

Any dialogue remnicient of this?  "This ... campaign has little ... no value to play because of god's amateur ... ability"

You're not hearing what's being said. Theyre not saying it looks like a 'crap'py ship. They're saying its a crappy model that you're trying to pass off as a crappy ship.

[jr2]

They are saying, it doesn't look like a crappy ship.  It looks like you can't model.    So post that Blackbird, let's see what you can do..

Er .... is it just me, or is this whole thread just a little bizarre!

Takashi has posted a picture of a very basic mesh squished into a kite shaped block. No real issue with that, other than the fact that it was clearly a very early attempt at making a ship that needed a whole lot more work to be finished. The title of the thread indicated we had some finished content to look at, but the body says nope...just a very unfinished attempt.

Some people flame Takashi ( partly for his FS3 pretensions, and partly because his ego seems far greater than his talents ) and others try to offer constructive criticism of the posted ship.

In return...Takashi seems to devote the effort he SHOULD be putting into making his ship look like something people might download into coming up with ever more obtuse storyline 'excuses' for why the ship looks like a squashed box.

At this point, I began to understand why the flamers were carrying spare fuel tanks........

There is no excuse for releasing or posting pictures of things like this. Learn the skills and post something finished. If youcan't master the art, get someone else to build your ships for you. Don't think the people here are stupid enough to think this is a comedy mod with stupid spaceships gets you off the hook quality wise! Stupid ships STILL have to be made with quality even if they are intended to make you laugh. The detail and the finesse needed is actually greater....

And as a final shot..... why would ANY race, country or state ever build a spaceship that was rubbish. The cost and the complexity of these things always meant they were at the edge of what the technology was capable of. Those that can't manage that never make it into space.

I reached a sad conclusion this morning ...... you are either in need of a serious reality check, or else you do this just to wind people up. Either way....I suggest you stop.

Read mine and Aldo's posts. Just because the designing abilities of the manufacturers suck, it still does not mean the ship has to be crap. It still means it has to look like a ship, no matter who designed it or how weak it is. It needs more detail. Much more detail. Where do you dock? Where you you load the missiles? Where are the gun ports. If your fighter looks like that, there's no way it will compare with the fighters in FS2 made by Volition.

Karajorma's GTC Big Fat Brick is not a pirate cruiser.

Yaarrrrrr

NO! My poor GTSG Watchdog!!!

[takashi]

to tell the truth....that was the first thing i made in w3d.

ps: the kaamos got cancled when i saw inferno's claymore 3.

[Raven2001]

If it was your first 3d work, then face it like that: an experiment, and nothing to shout about.

You can however, employ what youve learnt on future works, as well as what ppl told you here. Never expect that your first model is gona be a piece of art

[takashi]

working on a mass drive rcannon. cant get the stupid texture to show up in exports....

[jr2]

Well ask nicely for help.. maybe someone here will help you.  Just remember to listen carefully when they do.

[takashi]

so, how do you get textures from blender/wings 3d to show up in .3ds exports?
