Actually, there was a 2-parter towards the end that was... somewhat acceptable.  Basically, and advanced Cylon fighter has an encounter with a Colonial fighter.  The Cylon ship is crippled after the Colonial boad-sides it, but it ends up coasing on a direct course to Earth.  The complement was 2 Centurions and 2 andriod Cylons that appear human (that's likely where the new BSG got the idea for the Human Cylons, with other possibilities).  One Centurion and one andriod are killed on impact, but the other 2 escape before Troy (Boxy) and Dyllan arrive and view the wreckage, and the android's body.  The whole plot revolves around the 2 cylons attempt to find a way to transmit Earth's location to their fleet.  They manage to blend in because they happened to crash land on Hallowe'en night, just ouside of New York.  They end up being brought to a party where the meet Wolfman Jack (... yup, the real guy) who they convince to bring them to his radio station in the WTC, where they try to contact the Cylons.  Troy & Dyllan intercept them there and stop the transmission.

Point - she was pregnant when CY found her and brought her to Starbuck.

Someone hook me up with a Viper Mark VII and I'll be a happy camper

I could make some suggestions on how you'd do the tables....

[Deepblue]

On cockpits, do it!

And I see you did use some of the stock models textures.

Another update.... texturing almost finished...

Texturing is looking good but, put some weathering effects in (see Democles X's excellent work), and put some black "soot" around the nose thrusters (see stock model view posted earlier).

OMG I rememebr last night's episde, They stole the idea of when near the end of the old series OLD starbuck crashes on the planet and then he rebuilds on of the cylons for company (and to play cards with) and then finds a girl and gets her pregnant.. he puts her and the baby they make into the escape pod he built from the viper and raider pieces while he and "CY" holdof the other cylons who showed up a year later... It wa a cool episode but Starbuck dies on that planet all alone. His kid is part of the angel people (ascended like in sg-1) as the mother disapears back to her people and the baby goes to find the galactica.

   They raise the kid in galactica 1980 as Dr Z and by age of 12 he invented UFO type flying saucers and invisibility screens for the Colonials.. It was pathetic...

I wonder how much Ron Moore stole, oops I mean re-imagined for this next episode. Will Starbuck reassemble a cylon for company and teach it pyramid? Will she meet an uber man angel and get knocked up? Find out NEXT week!!!!

actually...starbuck's fate was the only decent episode of bg1980....i thought the rest of the series sucked.  that one wasn't bad though, except for the end with the baby becoming DR Z.

OMG I actually saw that one. That and the ep where some other Battlestar showed up.

Hrmm... I'd try to make the textures a little more high res if possible. The engines and other grey bits seem a little low res, and it'd make the dirt/grit look better when added in

[Omniscaper]

Ok, I give up. I guess this show is still too new to get the exact dimensions this fighter. Can some give me some canon sizes for this?

[WMCoolmon]

You could scale by looking at screenies from the show. There are plenty of shots that show a pilot + ship.

[Omniscaper]

I dont like to make approximations based on screen caps. I need to know how tall those characters are. Well, I did that and I'm 90 percent sure of the size. Here's some ingame techroom screencaps.

[SA22C]

Wow.  That Viper looks beautiful.  My only suggestion would be to do a set of textures that mimic the 'shot up' look that the Vipers have by the second or third episode.



If I had any modding skills, I'd definately throw my lot in with this mod, the new Battlestar Galactica is probably my favorite show on TV right now, sci-fi or no.

Maybe I better learn how to FRED in a hurry.

[SA22C]

I actually figured out a way I could contribute, at least in a way.  I like to muck about with video editing and the like and whipped up a little BSG 2004 intro, just for ****s and giggles.  Here it is, if you're interested:

Wow, that looks great!:yes:

[Gai Daigoji]

I like the new intro you've made, SA22C. Very nice

Btw, Omniscaper, did you get my PM about the demo campaign script ideas?

[Turambar]

nude No. 6 always makes things better lol

[Larz]

I installed ID Andrews BSG mod and was would like to know if it can be played in multi-player.

Using Fred2 I changed the game type from single player to multiplayer (co-op) in the mission spec section.

When I try to commit the multiplayer game I get a message that "not all players have secondary weapons".

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

[WMCoolmon]

You need to copy the model (.pof) to data/models, and the rest of the files to data/maps.

But you'll also need a ships.tbl entry to run it; there should be some threads about editting ships.tbl on this forum.

[Larz]

Thanks for the reply.  

I have the files in the folders as you mention and I know I can edit the ships.tbl file using notepad.  What do I need to change so I can get past the message "not all ships have secondary weapons" when trying to launch a multiplayer game.

I'm probably missing something simple.

[WMCoolmon]

The TBL may need to be editted so that the Viper is defined as only having one primary and one secondary bank.

If that doesn't work...

Are you or your wingmen missing secondary weapons, what build does the error happen in, and if it's not 3.6.5, does it happen in 3.6.5?
