Screenies?

[Taristin]

*sigh*

I've not played it in game. I don't really play FS anymore...

[Black Wolf]

Looks good and (I suspect deceptively) simple to texture.

Gonna make any more? I full support the addition of new species to FS2, of any stripe.

[Kie99]

Is that an original model or a copy of something else?

[DreAdFaq]

Somehow they look a bit familiar, but I suppose that's just my mixed-up memory. And perhaps a model overdose caused by trying to catch up with 5 years of FS2_open

Looks really smooth and clean, me liiiiikessss. (just too bad the chances of me seeing those glows ingame in the next year are <<< 0.0000001)

[Taristin]

Dreadfaq; Glowmapping works no matter what; even when shinemapping doesn't.

Kie: AFAIK it's original. The name is all I stole.

BW; Thankie. And Possibly. It all depends. As for it being simple to map, well, I only made the map in the span of ~2 hours. I also made sure to make the UV fairly easy to do, since I hate complex UV maps, when there's no need for them.

Actually, its kinda reminiscent of the gunship from Aliens.

I like it. Simple, but effective.

[RED DIAMOND]

Sweet!

[Taristin]

's anyone tried it out? And have screenies?  No real point in making a new species if no one is going to use them...

[Grug]

Should pimp it to the Fred Academy (is it still around?) someone there will use it.

I think the images stopped working btw.

[Solatar]

I like it...I stuck it in a Valkyrie table. Came up with some Imperial Reptan Fighter designation (just so I'd have something to call it...).



EDIT: Not THE best screenies, but maybe it'll motivate some more people to try it out.

[Taristin]

@Grug: ? They load for me, or it may be in my cache. I dunno.

[Taristin]

Hmm. Thanks, Solatar, but what happened to the thrusters?

[Solatar]

*looks*
In the model, it seems there's a thruster, but it's not textured.

[Taristin]

I don't think I follow you? Is that a failure of the game engine, or of my model, then?

[Solatar]

I can't find actual thruster models in modelview. I can see the thruster points, but that's it.

I'm not sure where the error lies, but other ship's thrusters show up fine.

EDIT: Like so...

[Taristin]

Um... That's what I meant. I don't make actual geometry thrusters, since I think they look ugly, especially with long plumes.

[Solatar]

It is all becoming clear now.

I'll have to look into why they aren't showing up then.

EDIT: It appears to be a bug with my SCP build. The thrusters only show up if I'm flying the default ship for the mission.


I named it the Komodo for my tables. I wouldn't mind seeing a reptilian species with pink lighting and based off Japanese history. You could make their homeplanet water with very little land. Just a thought I'm throwing out, it's your work. Great stuff...
