just upload your WIP model and someone will fix it.

[Ghost]

Like maybe Bob. He said it first.

Has gunpoints and engines, just crashes when start mission.

That's using far too many textures for a fighter.

Looks nice though.

[Ghost]

Okay, I put it all into my FS2 data directory, in models and maps respectively... I keep seeing some transparent stuff, like I look at it from behind and see all the way to the cockpit glass. That means it's missing textures, methinks. Also, your cockpit glass is opaque. Grargh.

[Hippo]

Might it be the sheer size of the maps? 4mb (let alone 2 of them) seems abnormally large...

[Bobboau]

you seem to be missing maps, noteably 'base', and (the aparently eroniusly assigned) 'default', as well as all the textures for the inside of the cockpit. try to use one map for the hull (seperate texture for the glass still) and one for the inside of the cockpit.
and I think the weathering effect was too strong on them, these ships are made of meatal, not granate.

and I found the problem, there is something screwy with the glow points.

Yeah, I've checked this.


You have to use the alpha channel for the glass map.
Convert it to DDS using DXT5.

I think so too. The maps are quite nice, but try to add the details before you draw this line stuff.

Oh and tone down the glows. They are way to big. They shouldn't be on the main map too.

Well, it's still nice.

[Bobboau]

int the glow point properties, it needs to say $glow_texture=
not $texture= or what ever it is in the file

[Cobra]

any updates? did a search but didn't see any other hi-poly herc II threads.

[TopAce]

If the model gets updated, the author will post it.

[karajorma]

Yeah but a progress report wouldn't hurt. It has been 2 months since the last post after all.

[Cobra]

"Status report, Number One."

[Devils_Hitman]

Well Im kind of waiting for the new POF editor to be released. The model is finished, I just cant get it working ingame.

[Polpolion]

yey!

[WMCoolmon]

What's the problem you're running into? Same thing as before?

[StratComm]

This is a little old.  Devils_Hitman, please PM me if you're still around.

[StratComm]

Stupid question, but how do you get the exporter to take baked UVs instead of the assigned ones?

[Taristin]

you have to bake it, making sure to set it so that the model uses the baked map for everything. Then convert it to edittable poly again and work from there, IIRC.

[StratComm]

Not what I did, but close enough.  The maps are essentially unedited from Devil's Hitman's version, just baked into a single texture.  I did, however, swap out the cockpit, as the one in the model before looked like something out of TRON and the pilot himself was about 9 feet tall.
