Yeah I forgot the Cylons stole Dr Ravasam's Pulsar idea for their Base Ships later on... StarBuck hitting on triplets was priceless...

[Raptor]

I'll explore that links.  Thanks in advance GRG!:D

Some more pics for you.  I set 18 Cains + 9 Rakshasas (in 9 waves of one Rak + 2 Cains, up to 3 at a time) + 6*6*6= 216 Mara fighters on to attack a single BaseStar.

Result... BaseStar survived with only 2% damage!


Here's the BaseStar firing most of it's ventral turbolasers.  I don't think the Mara's ever got close enough for the light Turbolasers to engage! Though those turbolasers have the "bomber+" flag, so somethings not right...

I think that's a MegaLaser bolt in the upper right corner.  I made them more 'Blue'.

For the MegaPulsar... somehow when ever I looked at that picture you linked to IPA, I got the impression there was a long barrel.  And lets not forget the barrel in that mountain!
I removed one of the sections, and recoloured the effects:



EDIT:
Okay, FileH isbeing a pain, saying that the password I type is in 'standard Capitaliastion' But the first letter IS capitalised.

I'll try again later...
/EDIT

EDIT2:
It worked when I had caps lock for the entire password... stragne or what? :wtf:x2

yeah it is a pain... I made the LAST letter in mine Cap... That way an idiot liek me can remiember, it won;t let you do the first letter alone...

*Mutters - damn security proceedures*

If you use any of this just add Killerdog26 to the credits...

Hope you find something useful.

THE EASTERN ALLIANCE!!!!!!! (sorry)

[Raptor]

Okay, I think this will work...

I'll have good long look at those files.  Thanks man!;)

Oh filtercarb!  Fixing now....

I have to admit, I forgot to put in the sounds.tbl details.  But I expect people would put the newe sounds in where ever they could...

I've had look though that pack GRG.  A few bits and pieces will be useful (thought he's got the Agro ship wrong, I think...)

His Scimitar fighter inspired this:


A pre-war fighter craft, from the time of, as Starbuck would say, 'sublight rockets'.  Slow, ungainly and uses bullets;) (his craft is the leftmost one)

In other news:

Colonial engineers at the Scorpia Military base begin development of a heavily armed and armoured version of the successful mark II Viper:


And there are increased sighting of Cylon high speed attack frigates along our boarders.  So far no clear image has been obtained, and as of yet we are unsure of the exact size of these craft:



[EDIT]Okay, the link should work now....

[Getter Robo G]

Hmm I like the pre-war look but needs a bit more detailinf I think.. Actually now that you set a new time frame how about a pre-war cylon force lol... (now you've gone and done it!)

I agree about the Agro ship. I got a line on something amazign but will have to see if he's interested. The person I am about to approach made one with like 1.5 million pollies.... It looks exactly like the model used in teh BSG series and the Movie "Silent Running" (as both productions used the exact same ship)

It's a WIP.

The Cylon frigate/destroyer is my first attempt at doing an 'old' Cylon warship, hence the ion engines like the tanker (coming up with new Cylon designs is HARD)  I envisage the Hades Base Star (and the destroyer based off it) as 'new' ships.  Of course, by new I mean only seen in the last ~300 odd yarhens of the war!

I've already got the weapons done, it's just getting the models!

Oh, did is the file okay now?

[Getter Robo G]

Yeah I was gettign ready to test it soon.


I ran into a snag. I ported all the old bsg files to a new install of SCP 3.6.7... I previously only ran it on vanilla and now I get all sorts of errors...

Gun mounts+ and width+ set off token errors (what ever that means)

When I get to main menu I hit tech room and this happens...

any ideas?

[Getter Robo G]

This is gonna sound really wierd.... BUT...


I got the game to work sorta by copying the mod data into  the regular data folder like I did for all mods (it's the ONLY way I got fs2 open to work for me since last year)

basicly I have 2 complete sets of data one in regular, one in mod folder

in this case OLDBSG folder-Data  Plus regualr Directory -data folder

Bingo, I got into tech room but now it yells that the Battlestar has over 16 textures... WTF?  Did 3.6.7 get gimped? I got plenty of models in 3.6.6 or was it 3.6.5?) with like 30 and 40 sets of textures...

It's saying get a higher build or remap model?

[WMCoolmon]

It's saying,

"For the love of God, remap that friggin' model! Think of the people with 6600GTs!!"

fs2_open does a texture pass per texture per model (additional texture passes are usually what cause large amounts of slowdown). I believe it's 3 or 4 if you include specular, glowmaps, and envmaps.

So...do the math, and you get a crapload of needless texture passes.

[Getter Robo G]

Thanks for the info.

Guess I will roll bak to 3.6.5 or 3.6.6 when it accepted mass numbers of textures...

[Raptor]

I've got a version of IPA's battlestar, where I fused all the UV mapping together into one large map...

It was also a test for my Colonial multi-part turrets.  The texture qualtiy is the same as before, it just uses one map.  If you want I can upload that too.

[Getter Robo G]

Oooo you made new turrets for the Battlestar? Definately want that! FOr a quick fix though I dont think the tables would be different I will alter a Uly entry for the Raider and Vipers to match weapon type and see if somewhow that fixes the problem... FSO can make some wierd bugs sometimes...

[Getter Robo G]

Grr, I blanked out a ships table with just the Ully and Hercules fighters and copied to both data and mod data folders and got rid off all BSG info and I got a bazillion table entry token errors... This was a test before re-editignt eh table for BSG info.

Why would that happen? What is conflicting? You would think since it is the original 3.6.7 entries that they are correct with no errors.

[Wanderer]

What kind of errors are you getting? And why did you put any kind of modified table to basic (non-mod) data/tables folder?

EDIT: Could you post a single example here?

[Getter Robo G]

Becuase FSO would NEVER work for me otherwise.... Long ago when SCP first came out FSO would always crash on me and one day out of frustration I simply did what you do with normal fs2 and low and behold it WORKED! since then for the last 2 years, and 7 seperate installs later for each project, everything still works fine until this NEW release.  I installed NEW 3.6.7 to a new drive I bought (300gb) just for modding projects and transferred all the files from the data folders and what not to the OLDBSG folder and data folders respectively.

That is when I noticed problems, to my surprise... And started to take steps to correct them.

I will try some more things later...

I've made new turrets for every FS2 ship as well...

And I hate to be a pain, but I must have deleted the pof file!:snipe:

And PCS is refusing to convert a new one Even cob2fs2 spits out an error message.

So for now, here's the .cob object + needed textures (I haven't included weapons this time)

I don't know. I'm pretty sure that if all you ever do is complain about it, the chance that it has of accidentally getting fixed is virtually nil. There are probably a hundred different errors that it could be.

FS2_Open does have a stricter parser than FS2, because there were people getting random crashes, because table variables were in the wrong order and FS2 tried to compensate by skipping around the table and reading the wrong values. It's a pain, but infinitely better than having some random crash that noone can put their finger on because they had the flags in the wrong position, or something.

I'd guess that this is what your problem is (Variables in the wrong order), since I think it says something about tokens.

You might try a newer CVS build, since I did a lot of work in ships.tbl and weapons.tbl to make them more modder-friendly (Making all fields optional and setting them to some semi-safe default value)
