Well I converted this ship for Solaufein. And I renamed the stuff right, I think anyway. But the POF is screwed up.

Textures aren't important. I just need to know if things are named right. File

I use detail0, detail1, detail2 etc. for my hull names. And I always use COB2FS2 for conversion because PCS hates me.

I did get it to convert... BUT when I tried to save it it crashed. Nice model though. Is it gonna be a fighter or bigger?

HotSnoJ · **Reply #3 on:** December 05, 2002, 10:24:54 am

you'll have to ask Solaufein that. But I think it'll be a fighter.

The best help I can give is to show you an example hierarchy for a model I made. This hierarchy works when converted.

This was a single LoD model, but if I had a second LoD (detail1) it would have been under detail0 and would not have been grouped to detail0. (It would be a child of scene as detail0 is.) IIRC shields work the same way.

Bobboau · **Reply #6 on:** December 05, 2002, 09:08:54 pm

LOD0 hull geometry shouldn't be glued to any lights, other than that your(snoj) model looks prety much right

Solaufein · **Reply #7 on:** December 06, 2002, 02:59:46 am

Its supposed to be a fighter yes.

When I name the stuff right and try to convert it with pcs it crashes when i try to save, cob2fs2 doesnt crash but makes weird models. Sometimes its merges submodels into one, or the thrusters are part of the hull mesh, Lods are missing.

HotSnoJ · **Reply #8 on:** December 06, 2002, 08:45:35 am

Ok Solaufein I got you model converted and stuff. btw The model is slightly bigger then the Ulysses (approx. 1.4 along the FS X axis in ModelView).

Now I need someone to send me a copy of segeltuch (I did download it but for some reason the file is corrupted) so I can work the shield data. [email protected].

Solaufein · **Reply #9 on:** December 06, 2002, 11:33:44 am

The shield mesh is included, at least it should be.

Segeltuch can be found Here
And you can download the latest Here

If the file is corrupted retry downloading, you would get the same problems with mailing, as you still have to send all the data through to your pc.

I didnt have trouble downloading, I posted my version Here

HotSnoJ · **Reply #10 on:** December 06, 2002, 05:26:22 pm

The Shield mesh did not cover the whole thing. So I thought I'd just import one and edit it.

Solaufein · **Reply #11 on:** December 06, 2002, 06:58:57 pm

Ehhmm. thats the debris sticking out.. trust me

Edit: I checked and as i thought, its just debris sticking out of the shield mesh, so dont worry

Bobboau · **Reply #12 on:** December 06, 2002, 07:52:25 pm

"segeltuch"
eeeewwwww

don't use segeltuch, for anything

HotSnoJ · **Reply #13 on:** December 08, 2002, 08:23:34 am

Got it done. Sorry I'm no POF data wizard so this is the blank one.

http://planethardwar.com/~hwcomic/files/Betavo85-final.rar

Includes the COB, POF, BMP, and PCX textures (no thruster textures though).

Solaufein · **Reply #14 on:** December 08, 2002, 10:24:42 am

Many many many thanx

HotSnoJ · **Reply #15 on:** December 08, 2002, 02:18:39 pm

No thank you. This was a very good leaning experience for me.

Solaufein · **Reply #16 on:** December 09, 2002, 05:05:56 am

How did you change the reference for he textures from a .bmp to .pcx?

karajorma · **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2002, 05:20:58 am

You don`t have to. Freespace doesn`t look at the extension only the file name. So if you texture with text1.bmp FS2 will look for text1.pcx

Seconded....horrible thing.....HORRIBLE!!!

Thank god for learning how to do my own shields!

Well it wasn't what I thought it would be anyway. I thought you could edit the shield vertices.
