Hunk of junk?

Seriously - I think it was referred to as Agro Ship Nine. Don't think it had a specific name, unlike the Celestra or Rising Star. The other two got smacked by Cylons leaving AS9 as the only survivor.

Tomcat: Wha?? You're going to help? Or do you have some stuff to give?

Oh I'm sorry. The correct answer is... The Valley Forge (from Silent Running). Okay. Here's another one. What was inside Boxey's robot daggit Moffit? Failiure to reply with the correct answer will result in my owning of joo.

Tomcat won't help. He has no interest in BSG. He's just here to take the piss out of me because I'm big on it.

[ShadowPuppet]

KillFrenzy.... how serious are you about doing this mod?

Drop me a mail [email protected]... I might be interested in helping out

[Killfrenzy]

Oh, I'm VERY interested in this mod. I actually tried to start it up again myself a couple of months ago without telling anyone.

And Ian, you do own me! I know a reasonable amount of BSG trivia, but not THAT much!

As for the Agro-ship question, you didn't specify the context of the other name! I assumed it was within the BSG universe, not what the model was otherwise used for!

Incidentally, The Viper is in game along with the laser torpedo. I'm still texturing the Raider, but within a week I'm expecting a sample release of the Viper, Raider and a general free-for-all scrap between Vipers and Raiders!

Oh, and boy do you have to fly like a Colonial! No missiles for you and primary weapons that will kill you outright!

[15thRampage]

Wowo I never thougth that posting about BSG game will help to finish a allready Stated mod

Good luck PPl make you mod better that the conseole game

[Killfrenzy]

I don't think the mod was in a particularly advanced state, mainly because Ian was working on it by himself, and some of us know how hard that is!

But now it might actually get sorted out. I for one won't let it die this time!

[Star Dragon]

Check your hotmail! I sent you a new viper, the galactia shuttle, the new galactica with fly through bays,two cylons base stars, a unknown ship (think it is a prison ship)  and the colonial movers... If I forgot to send one let me know!!!

PLUS  I sent independance fighter, Buck rogers fighter, NSEA protector (galaxy quest, LEXX, and Last Starfighter gunstar oh well..

If you can get a biggger mail box I got new scarlet viper from the 3 inute trailer of Richard Hatch's (he helped design it!) 1.60mb and ANDROMEDA (from tv series) 1.60mb also..

I hope you like the other stuff I sent!!!! and better yet can do somethig with them? L8tr!!!

PS post here what you think of the models I sent (I do not use that adress it says in the mail, outlook did that)..

My email is [email protected]

[Killfrenzy]

Thx, SD. The only problem is that both ColonialMovers.rar and CylonBasestar.rar are apparantly infected with a virus.

The other Base Star you sent me is DELICIOUS though! Enough detail there to be useful and yet low enough poly to not screw over FS2!

I'll tell you what I'll do though, I'll PM you another mail address, one with a, let's say, infinite mailbox!

The base star belongs to Maudib. It's fairly awesome and far superior to mine. There is also a version of it (Maudib's model) in my folder at that url I sent you. Download my version also because it might be slightly newer (read: sexier).

[Killfrenzy]

I've had a look at the one I was sent (converts to pof fine) and it's actually warped slightly. Think of a circular saw blade and you'll get the idea.....

The one at the URL you threw me is in Homeworld format at the moment......and the one I've got of yours from ages ago is far, far too high poly. PCS and Cob2Pof both conk out and die without even trying to convert..........

Base Star = big pain in the ***********

[Star Dragon]

Were they serious? these were ripped from homeworld mods so are the mods infected also?

   is there a way to salvage them? I'll delete them if need be, (should I?) I have a HIGH POLY colonial movers.. and a relly high poly basestar (like 7000-20000 I think)

Hope fully the one tha tis ok is the one I  converted and put the textures back on!

BTW how do you like that more detailed galactica? I love the possibility of having fly through bays on both sides and all the way through! We need to make this life size in game!!! The way it should be right?    Like I did with the star trek ships in comparison to FS2 fighters...

l8tr!   (also if anyon else you know wants them to work on please spread those otehr well known ships I sent you around is they are not your kind of thing, they have been sittin gon my HD for a year now!!!!) ty...

[Killfrenzy]

I didn't get the Galactica one.

And it was hotmail that flagged up the viruses, so I don't know what they are or anything.

As for salvaging them.....I don't know.

[Flipside]

Remember, if this game is using the SCP and HT&L you can use an awful lot more polys than normal, so, using LODS that Mega-High poly BaseStar may just be perfect
The Fairy liquid and Toilet rolls thing earlier is about making the original Models for BSG, the Vipers were more or less the above objects
This game, strangely enough, was what started me playing the keyboards, cos I loved the title theme and learned to play it on this old stand-up air-powered double keyboard thingy we used to have
As for the Virus, possibly. Run a Virus scan on all your drives and hope for the best, it's the only way

Flipside

[Killfrenzy]

I didn't actually get the virus - hotmail flagged them up before download.

And the problem is not the polys, I know that the SCP can handle them. The problem is the conversion!

BTW, if you're all interested, I just churned out a scratch-built Base Star and plonked it in game with a size of about 5km diameter. The thing's HUGE!!!

[IPAndrews]

The homeworld version of the Base Star is the one to use. It's clean and it converts reasonably well. Use my new battlestar geometry. It has a good balance of polys and detail and it's extremely accurate. More than Maudib's in this case. My Colonial Shuttle is also extremely good.

Flipside. Throwing huge poly models into FS2 isn't as fantastic an idea as it first sounds. Remember, if you stick to standard poly counts or only a little higher, you can instead spend those extra CPU cycles on HUGE battles with far more ships.

[Killfrenzy]

It's all very well having a good Base Star, but I don't know how to convert from Homeworld format to FreeSpace.

[Star Dragon]

I', sorry!!!

Did I acidently send you the .peo fomats (homeword)?

I use 3dexploration to opent he models in .peo format , then save as .cob.
 
  Then I use TS3.2 to orient the model and then go abck to pcs to convert (test)

After comparing size in game I go back to 3de and resave the .peo as .cob after resizing and texture adding/replaceing (if needed) a nd do the final stuff on the new .pof (engines, guns, subs ect...)

That's how I converted Whitestar, RDF ships, and everything else I ever posted that came from Homeworld, or other games...

What models do you need me to reconvert? (I may not get the chance to be home again until mon or tues, really busy this weekend)...

Try using LithUnwrap. It's not just a UV mapping program. It's also a king at converting models. Which model exactly was it you wanted to convert KF? The .peo from my web folder?
