Hmm, might just be the export, i played with 3dexploration a long time ago and i remember it didnt like some vrml stuff.

Anyway, i imported it into 3d studio and it should look like this (imported properly).



I exported it as a dxf from 3d studio, the dxf file can be found Here

Looks like a flattened Tesla Coil from Red Alert 2.

Theres always someone!!!

I have a 6km long starbase called Vanguard.
Has 3 LODs, looks good, has lots of weapons ( anti-capship missile launchers, beam cannons, ultra-heavy-long-range-cannons and anti-fighter weapons), 4 fighterbays and 2 cruiser bays.

Just one thing... it's not fully pathed.

WOW!:eek2:

How ready for use is it? Can Freespace handle it? Are you going to release it?

Oh, and one more thing: Picture....Picture........

[TrashMan]

I am currently in another city, 60km from my PC, and I ain't getting back before the weekend. However, I sent the Vanguard to LtNarol 2 days ago, so ask him to send it to you. (and allso ask for the CapshipWeapons Pack).
I tested the Vanguard a few times, works o.k., just needs some paths!

Can you alter the lower struts so they are pointing upwards.  Apart from that I like would like to use the model when it's finished.

Sounds perfect.  Can you finish the pathing or would I need to ask somone else to do it.  One way or the other I'll use this as well when it's finished if that's ok.

[TrashMan]

That's the problem. I can't do any pathing now.

Paths can only be seen in FRED, and I can't run Freespace 2 on my new PC .
(darn Windows XP, FS doesnt detect my 3D card - GForce 4 Ti4200, 64MB).

You'll probably need someone else to path is. You need the paths for subsystems and fighterbays - the turret paths are unnecesarry unless you want the AI to actually attack the turret.

[Wildfire]

No problem.  Thanks.

[Star Dragon]

I have XP and it runs with 32mb rage fury (ATI) , 32MB tntRiva(Nvidia), and my new 64MB ATI all in wonder 7200. May sound simplistic (sorry) but consider getting another card?

[EDIT]  Hey Lt Narol!!!! Give up the goods man, something that cool (even Unfinished) sounds awesome...

j/k

[Wildfire]

Trashman, I PM'd LtNarol and he said that he never even heard of the Vanguard before...

[TrashMan]

WHAT?

I sent it to him 2 day's ago. Did he check his mail on Yahoo?

If he didn't get it than give me your e-mail and I'll send it to you in a day or two....

If only my web page would come on-line...

BTW. Does anyone know if there's some patch for FS2 that could fix my problem?

[Wildfire]

Cheers.

I think I have some room left on my old webpage...
I'll try and put the Vanguard there for download (with pics)and then put the link here....

[LtNarol]

Sorry guys, I've kinda been out of touch with the rest of the world; been logging about 6 hours a night on texturing the ships for Exposition.  If all goes well, we'll have it released in mid or late December, the 25th is our targetted date.

A little progress report: 4/4 capital ships completed, 4/6 fighters completed, 3/3 props completed, and one base darn near completed.

And now I return to my world of trueSpace and Paint shop

[TrashMan]

o.k.

Get the vanguard here:

http://www.inet.hr/~tstanici/gtsbvang.htm

I'll try to add the main page and links to some other ships and weapons (as soon as I find some page-making tool).

If it doesn't work - download directly here:
http://www.inet.hr/~tstanici/Models/Vanguard.zip

weapons pack:

http://www.inet.hr/~tstanici/Models/CapWeap.zip

A fighter:
http://www.inet.hr/~tstanici/Models/Phoenix.zip

And a bomber:
http://www.inet.hr/~tstanici/Models/thunderbolt.zip

[Tiara]

Well, the pics dn't work and the mnodel doesn't have textures. But what I can see from the solid view its very good.

[Star Dragon]

have to get a gtifighter texture though but will do it tonight. Can't wait to put it to the test against the borg invasion (atlantis needs weapons so station the STBS near it... Great Job Trashman...

[TrashMan]

It has textures - it uses FS2 textures so there is no point in sending them too.

I added link for the Capship weapons pack, the Phoenix fighter and Thunderbolt bomber.

Sorry for the incovenience but I need to find FrontPage express to edit the pages. (No, my Win Xp does't have it.)
