okay, won't be able to finish the campaign until patch.    Hopefully until hip creates his campaignpack 1.1

[hip63]

v3.4b installer will be released before the DVD and the v1.1 will be released on the DVD. So this means you can get the v3.4b installer and still have time to get the new campaign finished before the DVD with Campaign Pack v1.1 is released.

out of curiosity, will it matter if we have 3.4a installed or not?

however, I do like the "Use at your own risk" bit 

[hip63]

Nope, just install over the top if you wish

The v3.4b installer will included a tiny utility (bat file) that will clean up any loose 3.4a files.

didn't I fix those briefings already last June/July?

Yes I thought you did that as part of the EMW upgrade to 3.4. So I was a bit confused too. Don't worry I will look carefully at what was send compared to what we have.

in my installation, EW is not fixed. BUT do not thrust my install anymore, you know what I mean IP

Umm...  Do you guys want a landscape model? I made one for Wing Commander Saga if you want it.  Just note that you'll need to make some new textures for it, since I really suck at 2D texture art.

I'm pretty sure it's fixed Vid don't worry.

I think I'll pass. Though you could start a seperate thread offering it to campaign designers here. Since they can just package it with their campaigns.

Need to ensure something is in TBP 3.4?
Speak now!

[Asprin]

Ian, please check out the "dhcarrierh.pof" file,  LODs 2,3 and 4 have deviation from zero point.

Here is it:

can you people include it? 

[Vidmaster]

IP, confirmations would be something...


people have spoken but no answer so far

[IPAndrews]

You're assuming I've done some work on the core since the last release. I haven't. My life is extremely busy. I have very little time for TBP. But in the absence of anyone else being willing to complete the work on finishing the mod, I try to find the time to do it myself. On the understanding that people do not complain and assume I have enough time to treat working on TBP like a second job.

well, if it's any consolation, I can get the Hand Brittlestar in TBP, however, getting a working version is something different.

Btw, is there a reason I can't seem to get the animated texture working?  I just copied the Shadowa.eff and renamed it handa.eff and have my .dds files set up correctly, i.e. handa_0000.dds - handa_0019.dds.  Is there anything else I have to fix?

Also, something absurdly stupid, but how do you organize your submodels in Max so everthing is parented so everything is in an appropriate hierarchy in PCS?  I'm not really as fluent in some of the more subtle aspects of Max (being primarily a Maya user and all), so I'm having just a little bit of difficulty with this (I have been following Styxx's POF Conversion Plugin tutorial, but somethings just escape me).

Then there's this little matter of beta-testing to make sure the Brittlestar is properly balanced....  If anyone's interested, send me a PM.

You'll have to have it done within the next few days if you want it in the core. That means flying with level of detail models and weapons. Otherwise just release it as a seperately for people to use in their campaigns.

Open the eff file in notepad.

I'm a truespace modeller. I only know how to set up the hierarchy for that. Google freespace ship creation guide. The hierarchy is discussed in there. If you need further help with this can I ask you respectfully (since you are making very pretty ships) to ask in the Freespace modding forum. I need to keep this thread on topic as I'm just about ready to build the next, and again, hopefully final release.

[maje]

sorry IP, didn't mean to hijack the thread in regards to modding questions.

As far as the actual ship status goes, I've already got the LOD and debris models built.
