Well the idea i have is not making the interfaces as homeworld ones, but like tbp, with nifty renders with homeworld ships and backgrounds and that kinda stuff.

Yeah, thats what I meant, I though I was doing those...

[USS Alexander]

Ok then you do those ones.

[Farsight]

ooo i know its late but thanks for putting tap on my name

[LtNarol]

what do you mean convert?  from cob to pof or 3ds to cob?

[Thorn]

I can get them to cob..
I need people to resize them and add turrets, then convert it to pof, add all the pof data..

[Setekh]

I added all those avatars in for you guys. Enjoy.

[LtNarol]

if you need someone to convert to pof still, i can do that for you

[elorran]

<--- would appreciate a TAP tag

Please...

Is also looking into possible HLP hosting for an FS2 campaign.  Anything specific one should do or consider (other than whats in the 'hosting page' already)?

[Setekh]

Done, elo. Email me about the hosting.

Hey, need any more help? I'd like to join....
I can do anything except textures (which is basically modeling, converting, mission editing, .tbls-I've got my own tricks in this, you already know about them- and general things)..
BTW, have you figured out how to do the trails yet?

If you have Truespace, homeworld and 3Dexploration, I'm pretty sure you could be of help, model conversions can't go too quickly

Texturing or modelling is not really needed, because the models are(usually) suitable for FS2, and textures are applied automatically. Right now we're having really big problems with rotating turrets on some ships, which has slowed down the conversions.

Trails are something we simply can't do, because only chance would be making every single mission in a nebula, and we can't have that. So no trails

Thorn is leading the project now, so he'll be the one to decide we really need you

[Unknown Target]

Yep, I have all of those, so I guess I'll ask Thorn....
How come you can't make every mission a nebulae? I think I have some ideas on how to make it work, but that's just me;)

I'm not sure, but AFAIK you can't have backround images in a nebula, which is not good.

[Unknown Target]

Well, maybe, just maybe, you could make the nebulae transparant, except make the backround images are farther away (as part of the nebulae.pof and the nebulae.pcx), and solid (in other words, visible)

[Thorn]

personally I think the trails are too much work for an effect that would probably end up pising people off...
I'll have a look at what we need done tomorrow when I'm on my other computer and let you know....

[elorran]

As I'd like to see the drive trails I've got to agree with Thorn there.  Trails can really get annoying during the middle of a heated battle.

I'm not talking about those little things in the nebula missions here.  I mean big blurry trails.  Take a look at that monster of a trail on the shivan super laser.  Now just imagine every fighter and bomber with at leat one really large trail like that.  Then imagine being in heavy large scale fighter combat.  Blur, blur, blur.
