NEW SHIP FOR MY MOD!



yes. It's a cargo container.

funny thing is, the size is related to the size of my new freighter, which I had determined arbitrarily.

Yet it fits almost perfectly in the GTFr Poseidon:







and a pic of the dock point:

Weird

[Taristin]

That's... umm... yeah. Well, now that you know how to convert and make models with UV maps, perhaps its time to look into making more complex meshes and actual textures!

[Nuke]

yea, stop playing with your balls and make a fighter

[asyikarea51]

Someone implement some bouncy physics. Congrats, the GTVA now has meson balls... "next-generation" method of delivering and detonating a bomb... all they need now are heavily-armoured Poseidons LOL...

[Colonol Dekker]

With a retexture and a bit of fancy pof'ing we could have the heart of gold with infinite-improbability drive... I mean dropships from mechwarrior

[Unknown Target]

It's a...

...it's a ball.

[Colonol Dekker]

Come on guys, remember years ago when we were but tadpoles in the HLP sea...... Making a textured ball was a real achievment. Admittedly it could be a bit more greebled..........

Oh, come on guys, I've already made a couple of more advanced ships(I'll put up more pics in a bit). This is just something I needed for the mod and thought it might be funny to post it on HLP.

Besides, go look at the normal Terran cargo containers. They're just a BOX! My cargo container is complicated in comparison! CARGO CONTAINERS DON'T NEED TO BE COMPLEX!   


EDIT: And yes, I know my textures suck. Now, if anyone would like to do them for me....

Learn to texture yourself.  Everyone who can, learned from scratch at some point - so why not try?

[Scooby_Doo]

Agreed.  You should look at some of my really old stuff...They were sooooo horrible. But we all learn 

[Flipside]

One trick is to work at a very large scale, 2048 x 2048 is a good size. Do you know about texture baking? And what graphics program do you use?

I see I'm going to have to write a 'Spaceship texturing' tutorial at some point....

[NGTM-1R]

Learn to texture yourself.

Or you could always steal the stock FS2 textures. <,< >,>

[Scooby_Doo]

LOL i've already been asked to do a texturing tutorial.. As soon as I'm feeling back up to par I'll get started.  Who knows how long that'll take though.

[Trivial Psychic]

Cool spheres.  Now make many, number them, and give them colors and stripes, then set up some jumpnodes and its time to play some pool.

I was thinking pinball, but that works, too...

Just use the baseball bats as flippers.

[TrashMan]

WE have a visual on the object. It looks like a longe cylinder with..

TWO BALLS! Holy s***! That looks like someones..

PRIVATES! What are you worthless maggots looking at?.. Hey, that looks like someones..

Willy? What the hell is that in the sky?..etc...

Glee!  I must try it!

Now, somebody, make a large rectangular thing!  Give it a really high mass, lateral thrusters, and with some creative tabling we've got Pong!

[Turey]

and with some creative tabling we've got Pong!

The above has already happened.
