Oh. Nuts. Any idea when it'll be finished and open to the public?

No, I'm using Styxx's Max plugin. And I'd like to point out I've already used it to convert my Aten flawlessly.

Found out that the mapping problem was due to my error. However the smoothing and targeting problems remain (on my end at least.) Attached is the ZIP with the necessary POF, textures, and Max file; all POF data is there including dockpoints and escape pod bay paths.

I'd really like to get this done by midnight, if possible.

Oh, and Bob, as per your request I've done some noodling on the back.

Goob, Stay on topic, please.


Galemp; I'll test this out right now. As soon as it DLs. (Your server is hella-slow)

[Goober5000]

Ach, sorry.  Thread split.

[Nico]

Check for collision problems, too, seems the max converter has difficulties with that.

I downloaded that zip that was posted... how do I install? I've tried putting the .pof in the models folder, and all the other files(except the .max, not sure what to do with that) in the maps folder.. and I know it's uncomplete, but how do I get it to work?

[Galemp]

It's complete. So long as the model is in the models folder it should work; the maps aren't explicitly required but will vastly improve it. After that just play any mission with a Faustus in it, or make one in FRED.

Make sure you're using an FS2_Open build that supports HT&L, though.

[Ghost]

I'm using 3.6.5... I didn't try it but once, but okay. Mind telling me what HT&L is, though? I'm pretty sure I've seen that somewhere on the pilot select screen. Sorry for the idiot questions; I'm new to all this.

[Taristin]

HTL is Hardware transformation and Lighting. It basically means that your video card will do the processing that was once done by your CPU. Which means you have more processing power, and can have more elaborate and higher poly models.

[TopAce]

It also makes your game engine four times faster.

[Ghost]

Eheh.. oops. Looks like I had WMCoolmon's latest build running, along with FSPort... Anyway, it works now, and now I know how to install other ships, etc.. thanks.

[Galemp]

Is this working for anyone / everyone?

[Ransom]

Seems to work for me.



Whee.

[WMCoolmon]

Looks awesome.

I really can't see any smoothgroup errors, either.

[Taristin]

What did you use to render that image, WMcoolmon? Is that a ship renderrer with spec and shine?

[StratComm]

That's the Freespace engine up one side and down the other.  The interface is different but that cursor gives it away.

Methinks WMCoolmon just showed off another of the SCP's hidden features by mistake

[WMCoolmon]

Indeed.

[KARMA]

mistake?

[redmenace]

Would you all like to know what he is really up to would you?

[Taristin]

Would he mind posting here?
