Re: The Sagitta Project - Mini campaign (work started), Looking for help
Oh, so I should save in IIRC box check? I'll do that and see if the model gets any better with turreting.

I am still lacking a texture  :pimp: for my ships. I am still running the convoy-guard's turreting. Since I am a night person, I will probably finish it tonight.

Any other insight?

Dont press ALT+F4, also keep backups of different stages of developement, IE shipbase without turrets, With turets, Re-scaled etc, Keep them as seperate scenes. Backup FTW.

Re: The Sagitta Project - Mini campaign (work started), Looking for help
If I could figure out how to get POF constructor's turreting to be on the same scale as TrueSpace's scale, I'd be fine. I'll finish turreting that soon.

In PCS go to Conversion>>Options and change the scaling factor. It's set to 20 by default (i.e 1 TS metre = 20 FS2 metres. )

Re: The Sagitta Project - Mini campaign (work started), Looking for help
Oops... that must explain why my grid in truespace was about 2cm wide, while my ship as off the screen (4 the most part).

So rescale TrueSpace, save objects @ every 10 minutes, save the scene when closing out... save in IIRC?


Well, at current design, my ships is too big....

So here were the measurements...

TS -> FS2

500m long -> 10km long
375m wide -> 7.5km wide
120m tall -> 2.4km tall

so I gotta either rescale the ship to be 1/20 of the size in TS or change the scale entirely?

TS Fixed -> FS2

25m long -> 500m long
18.75m wide -> 375m wide
6m tall -> 120m tall


I'll prolly just rescale the saving thing, then the meters will be shown properally.

Re: The Sagitta Project - Mini campaign (work started), Looking for help
Try some different outputs at different scales, (you can always duplicate the table entries and add numbers to the end of th epofs and unique ship names in the tbl.

That way you can size them up in FRED with retail ships and keep the one you like.  :)

Re: The Sagitta Project - Mini campaign (work started), Looking for help
Why don't you try grabbing the HotU crack pack from my FAQs download section. The copy of FRED 1.2 in there may work with Colossus. To be frank I've never tried it.

Just don't install anything other than FRED without backing up your files. That said the root_fs2.vp may work with what you have to give you access to the entire FS2 campaign.

Beat my mission? :lol:
There's an upgraded version,check.
I was sure it wasn't the correct change.The Deimos moves too close and fires with tis turrets,the Psamtik fire too and takes down the beams.I added a Mentu,an Aten and a Aeolus.

Re: The Sagitta Project - Mini campaign (work started), Looking for help
yes, I beat the first revision of the mission only two days ago...

I had to modify the mission to add my favorite ships.

A few things to remember that I may or may not have mentioned before...

Give the player MORE then 100 tempests, something closer to 5000 would be good... Same goes with Hornets and Tornados. Bump the minimum number of "large" missiles and bombs to 100 each wing.

For alternate ships, make an equal number of alternates as there are editable ships. If there are two wings with four ships each, give 8 ships as replacements.

Don't forget to "Beam-Free-All" everything, like you forgot in the first revision.



The NTMr Sagitta is going along fine... I am having serious problems between TrueSpace 3.2 and Blender.... I like blender for point editing, but as of late, the DXF (AutoCAD models, only file I found that will be opened by both Blender and TrueSpace) has either been preforming 10/10 or 0/10. I am having a problem with detail... let me give you a brief scenario of what's wrong and then ask for help...

Do this quick to see what is wrong...

Get blender and truespace 3.2 (most of u have at least one, if not both)
Create a cube, resolution 3x3x3. Save that file as a DXF, and open it in blender. Go into edit mode, and rightclick one of the points on that cube. click on any arrow, and drag it as far as you want (i recommend a quarter of the screen away). Now, change your viewing angle and observe a hole into that cube... that is where my problem is. The face of one side of a cube (3x3) is being seen as four (2x2)'s. They're not connected.
