I can wait.  After all, I just rediscovered a few older games, and I'm in the process of getting my hands on some games I've been wanting for a couple of years.

That doesn't mean the WCS won't be installed at the first opportunity, though.  I might even try learning to FRED just to make new content for the thing.

I was gonna ask about how the morning star was comming. As for other sources all the other ones I've seen are well, not good. This one however looks more modern thatn in the Alpha, even if it's just the textures!! I hope MANY other ships (ESPECIALLY the WC1/2 ones) get the new look eventually as they are great models, but HORRIBLE textures taht make me want nothing to do with them or to retexure them myself (but then they wouldn't be wing commander at all as I can't map and simply slap on what ever fits, if a model is ready for taking textures [ie has slots already]).

  We are all waiting with baited breath LOL

[Silent Warrior]

WHOOOOOOO! I've GOT to get me one of THESE!

This is 'external view' and shows you and your wingmate launching off your
home-carrier. I'm really thinking about modelling High-Res-Hangars for our
big carriers  

[Gasaraki]

... looks... GREAT!...even without high res its cool...
It needs parked fighters and stuff though (just kiddin)

[Moonsword]

Welcome the forums.  Look out for the Shivan in the airducts.  Give it your lunch and you might be okay.

I forget the rest.  Would someone help me out here?

Back on topic: Yeah, that would be nice.

[Gasaraki]

there goes my lunch... snif snif... and I was really hungry...

[Starman01]

Trust me, I'm working on it

I was one these guys too, who first flew through the enemy carrier and shut down  parked fighters

[DaBrain]

My favourite ship: The Arrow !!!

I want this mod !

But the hangar map is full of color artifacts...

[Moonsword]

It's better than nothing...

It's better than Wing Commander III's graphics....

Starman will fix it later...

And so the problem is...?

[Starman01]

Yeah, in the final test-phase we will decide, if we replace some maps.

I don't like the hangar-wall too. It is actually ripped from WC4 IIRC,
a rather low resolution and many times recycled.

Maybe our Texture-Artist will create a new one.    to Lynx

As for me, I really planning in making some liffs (at least textured holes)
and of course some parked stuff (like a truck ?, don't know yet).

Problem is, that without a code-change (which I count on sooner or
later) I can add this stuff only to a carrier that isn't moving.

(edit) I'm not quite sure what you mean with colour-artifacts (did I
mention that I'm colourblind ). If you mean those big round
spots on the floor, those are spotlight from the top (you have to
imagine the big light-sources for yourself though, those I won't add).

[Tolwyn]

hey Starman, I should still have the original hangar map... it is in reolution of 2XXX*1XXX

You know, back then, before WC3 was released, we were lucky enough to have a f'cking cool preview of the game, with exclusive interviews and all from Chris Roberts in some magazine ( Generation4 ). That preview had early screenshots of the game. They were amazing, incredibly high res and all, and the capships looked gigantic ( probably some different camera settings, coz they were your normal kilrathi carrier, with arrows flying by, and being shot at ). The textures were high res too. All in all, it looked way better than WC4 and, if there was map smoothing, they would be easily on par with WCP, FS2, etc. I wonder what happened, but the game, while still gorgeous for that time, was nothing compared to that version. Iirc, those shots were taken by the journalists, so they were not touched up. Remembering those shots and the final game, it was lkie they completly toned dwon the visual aspect of the game.

That screenshot above, while it doesn't have the high res maps ( for the hangar, at least ), looks much like those old preview pics.

Even if they downgraded the released WC3 version it still toke a highend PC to run it...so I think the cutdown in graphics was because nobody at that time could handle such hugh and detailed maps.

[Star Dragon]

I loved WCIII and played it on the long defunct Panasonic 3DO...   It was my favorite flight game till FS1 came out.

 Love Mark Hamil and of course Ginger Lynn (for LOAD OUT pruposes only of course) I just wish she would have unzipper her jumper a little lower (but that's ok I have seen some of her movies!

[Tolwyn]

I have to admit that WC Saga stayed my favorite game series after FS Saga came out...

As for the Arrow interceptor: it is inded a nice and agile fighter, BUT the weapon's energy is used pretty fast and usually at an inconvenient point of time

We expect nothing else

@towlyn :

Hand me over that hangar-texture, will you ? If I really gonna create
elevator-boxes, I will need some texture-help though. But for LOD 1
a very high-res-version of the wallmap would be good.

How about adding this ladder, which blair jump down a few dozend
times in WC 3 ?  Just kidding, but those boxes should be not to
big of a problem (at least until final release).

[Tolwyn]

will send it to you later

[gevatter Lars]

We could also build in my wall for the Hermes model..but then the Hangar would have as much polys as an entire battlegroup ^_^
