I finally got the bastard thing out of Homeworld. Does anyone know of a .peo to .cob or .pof converter (or to some other file format, then convert it to cob or pof, whatever FS2 uses, I cant remember).
I also need help texturing the damn thing.
Homeworld textures objects quite a bit differently than FS2. It uses multiple image files and applies them to different areas of ths ship (as you can see the on the belly of the fighter is untextured, damn thing refuses to stay on). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Blah Hurg? What prog do you view it in? What saving format options does that have?

I managed to get the Kushan Mothership...
The textures on this one actually decided to work  
This thing is about Colossus size, except vertical (maybe a bit bigger).

I was using 3D Exploration to view it, then convert it to a 3Ds file to play with in 3DS MAX...

To me it sounds exactly the same than FS2.

I kin take a 3Ds... but odds are you'll lose the textures. If you have them, keep a copy and then retexture it yerself as a COB. The rest, send to [email protected]/

FS2 those images are all in one file..
HW its many, separate images for each part of the ship.

Nooooo....... FS and FS2 have multiple maps per ship.  Haven't you EVER looked at the mapping on a capship?

[Thorn]

Yeah, I have.. I just dont think youre understanding me....
HW doesnt use maps per se. It has one image file for the cockpit, one for that little red arrow under it, one for the side, whereas in FS2 one file would do all that. It may have more than one, but theyre for whole sections of the ship, like the engines, or the array...
Open up sparky_fs2.vp and look at AWACA.pcx and you'll see what I mean. Thats a map for the whole engine section of the terran awacs. In HW that would be about 16 separate files. Just for the engines alone
Very annoying.

Actually, the motherships in homeworld are way bigger than the colossus. According to the game is about or over 25 kms long

The ships in Homeworld sure are strange in design.

I like the Taidan Scout though. Nice design with the missle launchers(?) in front of the cockpit.

Unfortunately, I only played Homeworld Cataclysm. I don't think the Taidan Scout was inside Cataclysm.

Cataclysm was very aptly named  

Compared to the origional it sucked big, hairy goat b***s

[NeoHunter]

It did? Well, I thought it was not bad overall.

These Homeworld ships look good. You know anything about POF conversion?

Oh... well if the UV mapping is kept, that's not a difference. Look at the model as a bunch of polys, not as a engine/main body/etc model. but if the UV coords are not kept, well it would be a pain to reapply them to the ship. I'd do the way I did for the Descent3 ships then: I made renders of the original ship from top, bottom, front, etc, and used those renders instead of the actual maps.

Theyre guns, and pretty crappy ones at that.
As soon as I extract all the textures from the main HW file I'll send em off to ya Carl, I'm just having problems finding some of the textures. Apparently the file for the belly isnt there, thats why it wont show up, and I'm having trouble finding it. There are a lot of files in that Homeworld.big file (13000). And the damn thing is only 60 megs.
